    72-Starting Over ~ Life Edition

    •   My advice, the only advice I can give is what worked for me. Now, maybe that doesn't work for the next person. Maybe, you know, one of the people who came to me, maybe they don't have that kind of faith in God, maybe they don't have that kind of relationship. Maybe they don't have that kind of trust. Maybe, I don't know. All I can do is say, This is what worked for me. I handed it over, I've had people say, How do you even hand it over? What does that even mean? I can tell you what it means to me, and I can tell you how I told my kids how I taught them how to hand it over in situations that was too much for them.  (4:18) •    What is your definition of giving up? Because you still have to go on... You still have to wake up every day. You still have to put one foot in front of the other, is it rolling over and letting whatever happen take over and beat you, or is it to rise above it and create a plan and recreate something more than you had before? So what would you choose? We've talked about the 90-day plan and we've gone into detail with it, I've provided a download for it on my website as well, this isn't just for building a business plan, it can be for anything, any goal you have, it is a road map to a goal, now, there are a lot of people, especially entrepreneurs. When you think goals, you think of business goals... Well, that's how we operate. However, guess what? There's more to life than business. (6:45) •   And there is life after divorce, so to be able to tell someone, don't waste time dwelling on the past. Embrace your memories. Embrace the good times. Here's another thing that I feel is really, really important, when I say, don't dwell on the negative things of the past, learn from them, make sure that you don't repeat any behaviors or repeat things fall into traps.  (13:44) •    I knew that I was worth it. I knew that I was the example for my kids, and I knew that they watched me and our kids become a product of their environment, and we've got to create that environment wisely, so start recognizing the things that make you happy. And you'll be surprised what you find out. It most likely is not gonna be necessarily something that you want, it may be something that you already have for me, it's my deck, it's my backyard, it's my sanctuary outside where I'm able to get in touch with myself, I'm able to sit in that quiet.

    71-Encore: Don’t Live DOWN to a Label, Live UP TO Your POTENTIAL

    KEYNOTES DISCUSSED: •  We go through our lives and we have these dreams, we've got these expectations of our lives, and we sit here and we wonder, how do we get there? How do we reach this goal? Now, believe it or not, there are some people who don't have those kind of visions, those kind of dreams, but most likely those people aren't listening to this podcast. Because they just, they don't have visions like you do. You have visions of something that you want to happen in your life, you've got a place, you've got somewhere that you want to go...a goal to get to. (02:16) •  That's the kind of world that we live in now, everybody labels and the world of social media is vicious. Social media, it has helped a lot of people. It's helped me. If I didn't have social media, I wouldn't have been able to reach the people that I've been able to reach to build my business and create the connections that I've had that have moved me forward in my life. But I'll tell you this, that social media can be just as vicious, and what I want you to do is break the chains of that, I don't want you living in the chains of the labels. And I don't care who it is, I don't care if it is your family, your friends, your spouse or your kids. (04:11) •  If you're listening to this, I hope that you are a believer. I am a believer, I have faith, I know that God is real, I know that. I will tell you something, we have been blessed beyond measure in my family, and I know why, I know why, I don't live by somebody else's labels, I don't live by somebody else's judgment, I'm only judged by one, and that's not even me. Even though sometimes I sit here, and I might make judgments about my pictures and stuff like that, but that's not truth. (5:28) •  I'll never forget that. I am mad that I did believe it, but also it drove me to be more... It drove me to be more than that. It drove me to be something that I was told that I couldn't be successful. But whose idea of success are we living up to? Is it our idea of success, is it somebody else's idea of success? Because let me also tell you this, that once you reach a level of success, you're then criticized by a lot of the same people who told you that you couldn't do something, who told you that you couldn't do just that, and then you did. (8:09) •  It doesn't even take money, your faith is free, your faith and your belief in yourself is free. It doesn't cost you anything to move forward, you've got to take action though, if you want to be successful in any way. If you want to be able to pay your bills. Okay, that to me, there's a success right there. If you can pay your bills with comfort and still be able to breathe and enjoy your family later on, that to me, my friends, is success, winning. Continue winning. I love winning.

    70-What Would You Do If You Lost Everything?

    Welcome back to the Unleashed Podcast, I am your host, Kristina Sjolund. And today, I want to talk about something that happened in an interview. I was asked this question, What if you lost everything today, and you had to start over from scratch? Well, my initial reaction is, I would put my nose to the grindstone, I would be hitting it, whatever it is, and I wouldn't stop. I would have my blinders on, I would be grinding hard. Right? Well, that is really easy to say, but there's more to it than that. Then I really start to think about the details and the mapping out of everything, if you want to have something with longevity and you want to make something that's very impactful, that's going to build a foundation and stick around, you're have to map it out. Let's dive into what mapping out looks like, ready?

Join me and learn more...   SHOW NOTES: •   First of all, I want you to share your story with everybody who's listening, because I feel like there's a lot of people who see very successful people, and they think that those people just have always been successful. They've always had money, or they've always been in that top percent, and I want you to share where you came from, where your situation when you decided, I'm not going to stay in this place.(03:27) •   Because I feel like it's similar to where I grew up, I never really knew anything outside of go to school, get a job, work your way up, do everything you can to impress your family, make them proud of you serve, serve, serve. I was raised in the church, and I just tried to always follow the rules, so I think the turning point for me was when I followed all the rules, and life still tanked that I knew something had to be wrong with the rules. It's kind of like what's going on in the world right now. Everybody's just wondering and following a set of rules that they stood by for so long and they don't realize that sometimes they need to find their own. (05:11) •   It was everything I knew and believed in, so I was determined to make it work. So, I got involved with network marketing, and I was officially the worst human they'd ever seen, I was so afraid and so broken down, and I sucked at sales. I knew nothing about sales, I was doing phone TV, internet as electricity, I was disconnecting people's phones, I was screwing it up, royally. People are like, we've had this phone over in our family for generations, I'm like, Well, isn't it nice to bring in the new year with new, and they're like, No, it's not. And I was like, I'm really sorry. So I was really, really bad. Even my mentors who were some of the top 10 in the world, I think it was just a gift they were given to me, were like, Honey, you're not great at this, like maybe you should seek other avenues and work on this on the side for the next decade and see if it'll work. (09:20) •   I really think I build their bravery enough to where they're brave enough, and we can have this conversation, the pin drop. And I'm like, I can build a business around that. So it's really helping someone be confident enough in that inner idea for a moment, and if they give me a moment, I can lay out a plan and a strategy for almost everything. Because my life was like three kids on my own having to do everything school, sports, house, everything, and I had to be so strategic in my every move that I can see someone's strategy from a mile away. They're like, it's the how I've got, it's the what that I need your help with.  (16:17) •   You've got the ripple effect. But a big one, and I feel like there are... How do I phrase this? So now I watch your Friday night lives and your posts and everybody, and all of the comments, and I think because I know you, and that it's not that I take it for granted, but I know how special you are, and not just me but to me and my girls, and I see all of those people who see you and you're such an inspiration to them, and I know that you inspire them so much and they just want to be in your presence.

    65-Network Marketing: How to Know if it's Right for You

    Network Marketers, this one is for you. I typically don't talk a whole lot about network marketing, at least not for a full podcast, I do talk about network marketing because it is another business. I don't care what anybody thinks about it. It's business, it's an income, and I wanted to talk today about some of the things that hold people back, maybe it holds people back from joining a network marketing company, maybe it holds people back in growing that business. But regardless, we're going to talk about why people, in network marketing, don't make it. And also some of those reasons of why people don't join. If you join network marketing and you think that it is a get-rich quick type of thing, you are going to find out really quick that that's not how it is, it is not that way. And there are people who are afraid to join a network marketing company because maybe they're afraid of what others might think, and I'm here to tell you that, first of all, don't let something like that hold you back from doing it because if I had done that, if I had walked away, I would not be in the position that I am in today. Network marketing, direct sales, whatever you want to call it, is something that completely changed my world. Learn more. Listen in...
