However, today I reveal all the ways in which it’s actually doing the exact opposite.  How can we expect others who are watching this sort of behavior to respect us and what we do if we don’t even respect ourselves?

Today’s show is a bit different… This episode is related to some news that very recently became public that Beautycounter, a respected and admired company in our space for many years, is shutting down. The reaction to this news that I’ve been made aware of has made me think of something that I absolutely hate about this profession, and that is the negativity in times like this and how certain individuals prey on the challenges and struggles of others. I was so fired up about this that I just did an Instagram Live about it, and I’m sharing the audio from that broadcast right here for you to tune into in case you missed it. Whether you’re a Beautycounter Brand Advocate or just somebody in this profession who wants to elevate the way you do business, this is an important episode.

There’s a belief I’m seeing in our industry that team building is dead in 2024, and some companies are promoting the idea that you can still make money without building a team… but is this true?!  In this episode, I want to keep it real and share why team building is not dead. Not only that, but there is most likely a greater opportunity for you to build a team today than there has ever been. However, in order for you to take advantage of it you have to step up your mindset and your skill set. If you do, you can put your business in a position to win BIG time, and it is my intention that this episode will provide you with the direction and support to do just that!
