Beth is a wife, mom, and ½ way empty nester…who has been an entrepreneur since she was 11 years old.  She has partnered and built multiple businesses throughout her life.  She and her husband built an insurance business around their passion for horses.  When they sold that business Beth decided she wanted to build a team and legacy business within the Network Marketing model.  She says that with a sprinkle of luck and a Ph.D. in mindset, marketing, branding, high-performance habits, and automation- she has been able to build a team of more than 15,000 distributors, earned over 2 million dollars in commissions, and most  importantly created a success path for thousands of families.

Beth believes that too many women are struggling, like she was…feeling like they have to show up as a Stepford wife version of themselves on social media.   It’s become Beth’s passion to help women create a business strategy with boundaries, so that they can build a YES life…using Network Marketing as the vehicle to achieve a business that allows them to say “peace out” from the scrolls, beeps, and notifications…and enjoy more precious moments with family.

Beth is also the creator of the podcast, “You’re Not the Boss of Me” that ranks in the top 25 in Female empowerment and entrepreneurial categories.  Beth lives in Wellington, Florida with her husband.

48 | Deb Erickson, NeuroTools of ICAN Institute

Deb Erickson is a neuro trainer, business mindset expert, and founder of The ICAN Institute Inc., a company dedicated to helping direct sales and network marketing entrepreneurs around the world free themselves from the mental and emotional limiters that hold them back from success - shifting them into confident, inspired action, increased income, and sustainable business growth. Deb’s personal passion lies in developing neuro training that helps women step out of their comfort zones and into their true greatness, enabling them to achieve massive business success while growing the personal confidence needed to live the life of their dreams.
Her unique, results-focused methods merge mindset-shifting ICAN Neuro Tools with female-focused business training, liberating her clients from mental ruts, fears, doubts, and personal limitations resulting in increased IPAs and unprecedented growth.
Free Mindset Training Neurotools
www.icaninstitute.com/free-training-2/
After graduating from Illinois State University with a degree in Education, Deb dove headfirst into the career she’d always dreamed of – being a high school teacher and basketball coach. Her experiences in the classroom and on the court gave her a deep awareness of how our thoughts, perceptions, and emotions impact performance results in virtually every area of our lives. She began expanding her study of the mind, specifically how we can shift limiting thoughts and behaviors to find greater happiness and achieve our goals with more ease.
Top Level Network Marketing Leader
While working towards a Masters Degree in Counseling, Deb joined her first of two network marketing companies where she quickly rose to the top levels of leadership. Frustrated by the limited impact traditional sales and “motivational” training had on her team, Deb set out to develop training systems that spoke to the specific skill-based needs and mindset challenges of the women in her downline.
She began expanding her study of neuroscience, eventually teaming up with leading researchers to develop brain re-training tools to help her team members overcome the mental and emotional blocks that were keeping them “stuck” in their business.
Neuro Training is the Answer
After years of success in two separate companies, Deb knew firsthand the powerful impact her mindset training system had on the business growth of the women on her team. She shifted all of her focus to developing the neuro tools and training she had used with them, into a system that could be used by consultants in direct sales or network marketing companies worldwide.
Knowing beyond a doubt that simply adding more traditional skill set training was not the answer for most women struggling to find success in the industry, Deb launched her own company, The ICAN Institute Inc., dedicated to helping consultants around the world close the mindset gaps that hold them back from taking the action they know they need to take to grow their teams, increase sales, and rank up. vl729.isrefer.com/go/free-training-2/FlipFlopCEO/

46 | Hope Baker, Single Mom Exemplifies the Magic of Perfect Timing & Serendipitous Meetings

If know someone who’s in search of the freedom and flexibility to be present for their family, without sacrificing their current income, this episode just might be a good one to share.  Our guest today, had no idea that Network Marketing could be the solution that she was looking for, because of her misconceptions about the business.  16 years ago, when she discovered this business, she was a newly divorced, single mom of a 6 year old, looking for a solution.

Hope Baker exemplifies a scenario that every Network Marketer dreams of….being in the right place at the right time, and having the opportunity to provide a solution to someone who is ready, willing and able to get started in this business.

Hope’s previous careers included: flight attendant, Realtor and personal trainer.  While she enjoyed the work that she had done, she was looking for a way to be a stay at home mom who could be fully present for her son.  When Hope heard about Network Marketing, she realized that the things she enjoyed most in her previous careers could be found in Network Marketing, as well… and that this business would allow her to be the kind of mom she wanted to be.

Prior to the day Network Marketing was shared with her, Hope had no idea that this type of business met her criteria of providing the freedom, flexibility, and income potential that she was searching for….but when she discovered it, she dove in head first and never looked back.  Hope reached the highest level of her company in her second year in the business.

45 | Sharon Lechter, Co-Author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad Books discusses Network Marketing as a way to create on-going income.

Laura and Janine interview Sharon Lechter,  an  internationally recognized financial literacy expert, keynote speaker and business mentor.  She is a New York Times Bestselling author, successful entrepreneur, philanthropist, and has enjoyed a 35 year career as a licensed CPA.

Sharon has advised two US Presidents on the topic of financial literacy. Sharon co-authored the international bestseller Rich Dad Poor Dad and 14 other books in the Rich Dad series.  The concept of the Four Quadrants of income is especially pertinent to those in Network Marketing because they teach the concept of “trading time for a paycheck” versus creating “asset income”, “on-going income”, or “residual income”.  As long as a person has to show up to earn a paycheck, they will never experience true freedom.  True freedom is defined as having both time and money.

In 2008, when the economy crashed, she was asked by the Napoleon Hill Foundation to help re-energize the teachings of Napoleon Hill.

Her best-selling books with the Foundation include Three Feet from Gold, Outwitting the Devil and Think and Grow Rich for Women and Success and Something Greater.  She is also featured in the movie Think and Grow Rich: The Legacy and on the national television series World’s Greatest Motivators.

Sharon is currently launching her newest title, Exit Rich to support entrepreneurs in building value and scalability in their businesses so they can be in the position of greatest potential.

44 | Lisa Williams, Professional Recruiter talks about Pivoting in 2020

Lisa Williams is an Entrebeliever, Wealth mentor, and Chief Inspiration Officer at Lisa Williams Co, creator of the Perfect Side Gigs program. After spending 25 years in a corporate career that blessed her life with financial freedom and reaching a networth of nearly $2 million, Lisa’s goal is to empower, equip and inspire 1 million to hire themselves! She helps those interested in pursuing the path of business builder and entrepreneur, equips people with the tools necessary to make the shift and provides a variety of vetted business platforms to consider.

Lisa has been a professional recruiter for over 27 years. She’s always used a coaching approach to recruiting and after nearly 3 decades of market ups and downs, found that she was feeling less joy in her day to day life of match making. The politics of corporate life got more complex. The clients she was working with seemed to also be asking, "is this all I am meant to do?" She wanted to offer more than just a job.

Lisa decided decided to take her own advice and find HER passion for what she wanted to do next in life. She has taken the skills she mastered in corporate America and has shifted to helping others find their true passion and business pursuit. Her passion is financial education.

One a personal note, Lisa is an Alaska girl born and raised, married with three kids, is a life-long learner, loves to travel, and sings in a praise band.  One of her “whys” is that her children will never have an employee mindset, will be life-long learners and continue to find the next version of themselves.

38 | The OOLA Guys

Have you heard of Oola yet? If not, you will. 

Meet Dr Troy and Dr Dave, also known as the OOLA guys. 

They are on a mission to change the world with one word “Oola”. 

We talk about what is Oola? 

And the powerful framework for life balance around the 7 F’s. And how does network marketing fit into a balanced plan with finances and field (career). Since the first copy of the original book, Oola: Find balance in an Unbalanced World, rolled off the presses a few years ago, the Oola Lifestyle has become a literal phenomenon—a dynamic movement. OolaPalooza live events have been routinely sold out since the day they were started, and the Oola message has been taken to countless cities across America and to every major city in the world via our 1,000,000+ Oola fans on social media. In their 1970 VW Surf bus, authors Troy Amdahl and Dave Braun have taken their OolaDream tour on the road, from coast-to-coast, collecting dreams and goals for a balanced life from people who adorn their vehicle with colorful Oola stickers. Their surf bus is currently covered 24 layers in the hand-written dreams from people they have met along their amazing adventure. The OolaGuys are committed to changing the world with a word by collecting 1,000,000 dreams and feeding 1,000,000 children. This starts with a better you. They travel the world collecting dreams and helping people find balance and growth in the 7 key areas of life (the 7 F’s of Oola) – Fitness, Finance, Family, Field (career), Faith, Friends, and Fun. By revealing how to remove the stress related to a life out-of-balance, they unlock the greatness that is inside all of us. A better “you”, makes a better family, a better community, and ultimately a better world. The OolaGuys are committed to changing the world with their simple, yet life-changing message.

37 | Jordan Adler, Beach Money & the Statistics of Success

37 | Jordan Adler, Beach Money & the Statistics of Success

Jordan Adler is one of the top income earners in Network Marketing, in the world.  This is a great interview for anyone who wants to gain a better understanding of what it takes to be successful in this business. Jordan’s story is incredible.  At 34, he was living in an enclosed garage. His rent was $200 a month and he had two roommates. He carried $36,000 in credit card debt on 22 credit cards, and his job paid him $14K per year. Over the past 27 years, he's become one of the top network marketers in the world, earning an excess of over $23 million. Jordan wrote the worldwide bestselling book, “Beach Money”, and 100% of his book sales profits go to charity.  His book has been out for 10 years and still sells thousands of copies each year. He just launched a second book, “Better than Beach Money” in 2019. And he just launched a new publishing company, “Beach Money Publications”.  Jordan splits his time between two mountain homes and a condo on the Vegas strip and of course, the beach. Four years ago, he decided to get his helicopter pilot's license for fun, and recently purchased his own helicopter. He's also scheduled to become the first network marketer to travel to space as part of Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic civilian space program.  Jordan believes in big dreams and says working hard and never quitting is the secret to his success.

Laura and Janine talk with Jordan about many of the aspects of the Network Marketing that contribute to some of the main misconceptions.  He talks about how many people get into Network Marketing, and get back out without ever doing anything with it.  He equates this to the fact that the nature of people in general is that they don’t stick to things they start.   He uses the analogy of a gym and how many people join, but then six months later, have quit going.  Much like folks who get their real estate license…out of 100 agent’s, about a third usually quit immediately…never selling a single home, a third of them will sell one home a year, maybe two, a third of them will do a little more than that.  But, one or two out of 100 or two, will do something significantly.  It’s the same with Network Marketing….because it’s just the nature of people.

Jordan shares a lot of insights he’s learned from being in the business, and how he applies the statistics he’s captured, based on human nature,  to this business.  Jordan has discovered that it typically takes three to five touch points before somebody will make a decision to say yes, which is why following up is so important in Network Marketing.  He teaches people lots of different “touch points” to stay connected, because he knows that the people who do that are the ones that are most successful!

36 | Nurse, Judy Milstead

36 | Nurse, Judy Milstead

Laura and Janine continue with their career comparison series to help people who are looking to pivot right now, hear from those who have made the transition traditional careers into Network Marketing/MLM.  This is an enlightening interview for anyone in the medical profession as well as for Boomers who may be surprised by the insights that Judy shares.   Judy speaks from her heart about all of the reasons she feels blessed to have found Network Marketing at this stage in her life.  Judy was a 68 when she was introduced to Network Marketing.  She is an retired RN, who spent over 40 years in the medical field.  Her background includes hospital emergency department director, private nurse for a doctor, hospital nurse educator, and with a regional director for organ bank, hospital advocate, and telemetry unit staff, nurse.

Besides the lifestyle that her new career has provided, Judy also shares another aspect of this business that she loves. “If you're in the hospital setting, you get a patient and you patch them up, and you send them home, and you don't ever see them again.  With network marketing, you get to know people.  It's like; these people are going to be our friends and family for life. I don't have to patch them and send them off.”

Judy talks about how one of the things that concerned her at first is that she didn’t want to bother people. She didn’t want them to feel like she was using their friendship for her financial gain…but she quickly realized that she was not doing that, at all.  And that people don’t think that, because they realize that she is simply listening to find out what they need.  And if they need something, she offers it.  She’s looking for people who are looking for her, and there are a lot of people in the world who are looking for something right now.

30 | Dr. Danielle Daniel, Psychologist, LCSW

Laura and Janine hear from Dr. Danielle Daniel. Danielle is a Doctor of Psychology, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and the founder of Brave.Foundation, which serves kids and young adults who have been sex-trafficked and abused.  Danielle is making a difference in the world…she speaks globally and loves empowering others to create the life of their dreams. She built her Network Marketing business alongside of a full time job, and was able to retire by the age of 38.

Danielle shares how she found Network Marketing, but almost missed it because of her misconceptions about the magnitude of this kind of opportunity.  She discovered that by using Network Marketing to create financial freedom, she had the opportunity to actually do more of what she loves, and to make a bigger difference in the world than she could have if she followed the traditional vocational path.  Danielle is passionate about helping others understand why it’s so important to have a backup plan in our lives. Both Danielle and her mother experienced health challenges that prevented them from being able to work, but because she had already built her Network Marketing business, she remained financially secure during a very challenging time in her life.

Danielle believes that remaining hopeful is critical to achieving success.  Always believing that someway, somehow, everything is going to work out.

25 | Can you build outside your warm market using social media? with Angela McKay

Angela is a busy mom boss of seven & a self-made millionaire!  She has used social media to grow 98% of her organization. She coaches and trains others on how to utilize a personal brand to help build a home based business.

She is a business and mindset coach, podcaster, and has been in Direct Sales/Network Marketing for 11 years.

Angela’s life is chaotic, but lots of fun… raising 7 kids while running a global organization from home. She says her “secret weapons for success” are coffee, post it notes and personal development books.  One of her favorite things about Network Marketing is that it’s given her the gift of never having to miss those mom moments and the ability fulfill her “old fashioned values”…of having dinner together every night.  Angela’s husband has been working with her in her business for over ten years. 

Her mission is to help give families the freedom to design a life with those kinds of moments too. Angela mentors mompreneurs across the globe and teaches them how to build a career while never missing out on special moments.

24 | Tom Chenault, Learning to Love

He said he would rather be a martian than be involved in Multi Level Marketing. When his success as a corporate airplane salesman and stockbroker came to an end as he hit rock bottom, he discovered sobriety and hope and love and service thru Network Marketing. 

Tom Chenault is a 28 year veteran of the MLM profession and is a successful top earner. Having been a successful corporate airplane salesman and stockbroker, Tom just couldn't wrap his arms around the skill sets necessary to build and keep a big organization. Tom thought he could bully and buy his way to success, just like in corporate America. He admits, it doesn't work in this profession. You have to inspire and love people. 

Tom has been a passionate supporter and vocal advocate for the network marketing profession for decades, and has served in the ANMP Board for multiple years, where he currently serves on the board as a director. He has also been a board member of the MLMIA (Multi-Level Marketing International Association). 

Tom hosts the longest running home based business radio show in the world. Tom has been the voice of Home Based Business and Network Marketing since 1999.

18 | Laura Wells, when plan B becomes plan A

Laura and Janine talk with Laura Wells…one of the first people to embrace building a Network Marketing business through social media.  Laura became a military wife at a very young age.  Her journey in Network Marketing started out as a way to have a little extra fun money.  Then a defining moment came for her to take her business more seriously when her husband was laid off and her family found themselves on food stamps.  Laura’s story exemplifies the benefit of having this type of business during those unexpected curves that life often includes. Laura talks about being a cancer survivor and how grateful she is for the lifestyle that Network Marketing has afforded her today.  Laura is all heart; we think you’ll enjoy her story as much as we did.
