    Episode 124: What's the Catch? Skeptic says Yes to a Side Gig with Direct Sales!

    Today Lisa had the pleasure to interview one of her team members, Jodi Benusa!  Jodi joined a direct sales company, L'BRI PURE n' NATURAL, about 7 years ago and got off to a great start, and then the pandemic hit.  She was working full-time as a social worker at a hospital and the stress escalated, and her side gig had to take a "back seat" and she lost her desire to grow a business due to the workload her job required.   But a few years ago, Jodi made the decision to create her own business, and was able to walk away from her full-time job at the hospital.  This was also the time she made the decision to put more time and dedication into her direct sales business.     As you listen to Jodi's story, you will hear the struggles she forged through and all of the personal growth that she has experienced because of her involvement and work within her direct sales business!  You will also hear how just making the decision to say YES to a side gig in L'BRI has impacted her life and her success.  Listen in and be encouraged by her stories as well as her words of wisdom to anyone thinking of saying "yes" to starting a side gig!   Jodi Kay Benusa is a Supervisor with L'BRI PURE n' NATURAL, and you can reach out to her via email at jodikay63@gmail.com or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/jodi.slampbenusa or Instagram @jodikaybenusa  Or check out all that L'BRI has to offer at her website:  www.lbri.com/jodibenusa       And as always, feel free to reach out to Lisa Taylor during this Summer Side-Gig Series, for a chance to explore the possibilities of your very own side-gig, or to try L'BRI's Free 7-10 Day Sample Set.  More information can be found here www.lbri.com/lisatay/free-samples Contact Lisa Taylor at lisatay.lbri@gmail.com or follow her on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/LisaBakkenTaylor or Instagram @lisa.kay.taylor

    Episode 123: Homeschool Mama Learns to Wake Up and Dream

    This is the second interview in our Summer Side-Gig Series where we have been talking about things to consider before saying "yes" to a side-gig with a direct sales company, what questions to ask and reasons why direct sales is an excellent decision if you are needing and wanting more options in your life.   Today Lisa interviewed an Oklahoma homeschool mom of 4 who said yes to L'BRI initially because money was tight, she saw how these natural aloe-first products had helped her son's eczema, and saw how she could get the products she wanted for her family at a deep discount.    But when Shawna began to increase her "mustard-size" faith in what this business could do, and grabbed onto the belief that this could be the "vehicle" that would produce the extra money they would need to purchase a camper for the family to travel in, AND the potential for her to earn the car to pull that camper, she began to truly "wake up and dream."   Are you sick and tired of living paycheck to paycheck, and have considered starting a side-gig?  Perhaps you are a homeschool mom like Shawna, desiring more options on your time schedule.  Connect with Shawna if you have questions or want more info about starting your own side-gig.   Shawna Bellomy is an Executive Manager with L'BRI PURE n' NATURAL, and you can reach out to her via email at Bellomystuff@gmail, or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/shawna.bellomy or Instagram @_shawna_bellomy_   Or check out all that L'BRI has to offer at her website:  www.lbri.com/shawnab       And as always, feel free to reach out to Lisa Taylor during this Summer Side-Gig Series, for a chance to explore the possibilities of your very own side-gig, or to try L'BRI's Free 7-10 Day Sample Set.  More information can be found here www.lbri.com/lisatay/free-samples Contact Lisa Taylor at lisatay.lbri@gmail.com or follow her on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/LisaBakkenTaylor or Instagram @lisa.kay.taylor

    Episode 121: All Side-Gigs are NOT created Equal! Questions to Ask!

    In today's episode, Lisa aims to help you know what questions to ask when considering joining a direct sales or MLM company.  Not all companies are created equally, and if you are considering starting a side-gig, it is important to get answers to some important questions.   Questions to ask  when choosing a company to partner with: Is this a company/product line that I want to share with others?  Clean products?  Are you passionate about them? What's the company's reputation?  Integrity?  How long have they been in business?  Does this company sell consumable products?  What is the company's return and refund policy?  Sample program?   Is the company debt free?  Owned by Investors?  What is the story to how the company got started? What's the company's reputation?  Integrity?  How long have they been in business?   What are the start-up costs and what does the company provide you with?  What resources does the company offer new consultants to help them make money right away?   How do I make money?  What percentage do I make on my sales?  What does the profit plan look like compared to others in direct sales?   Are their sales quotas, hidden fees, requirements to have inventory? What is required to remain active, and what does that fee provide?   How do you sell your products…..online, in-person, through events/parties?   What is the company culture like?  What kind of support can I expect from the company, my mentor and/or team members?  How successful is your potential sponsor/mentor?   Is there any penalty if I decide to resign/cancel?   Have questions and just want to talk things through with someone that isn't going to pressure you to make any decision or "join."  Contact Lisa at lisatay.lbri@gmail.com or DM her on IG @lisa.kay.taylor or www.linktree.com/lisa.kay.taylor

    Episode 119: Wake Up to What You are Putting on your Skin!

    This episode is the first in our Summer Side-gig series, so only appropriate to have Lisa share how she was introduced to the side-gig she said "yes" to 13 years ago!  Listen in to hear how L'BRI was introduced to direct sales and an "Aloe-First" natural skincare company called L'BRI PURE n' NATURAL.  In this episode, Lisa shares how she never read labels on her skincare products, but after attending a "L'BRI party" she because informed of how important it is to know what you are putting on your skin and into your bloodstream via your skincare products.  Lisa shares in this episode more about what sets L'BRI apart from other brands and invites listeners to become informed consumers, and compare L'BRI with their current brand.  For Lisa, this introduction to a natural, plant-based skincare line was the turning point in the healing of her adult acne-prone skin, but then began to fuel a passion for sharing it, especially after her battle with Breast Cancer!  Lisa has found her passion and purpose within her side-gig with direct sales, and encourages listeners to find what they are passionate about, and then find a side-gig that flows out of that natural passion and desire to share their story!   Lisa invited us to check out her website, www.lbri.com/lisatay and order a 7-10 day trial sample set for just the cost of shipping & tax!   Feel free to reach out to Lisa with any question you have about L'BRI or about how to find a direct sales company that aligns with what you are passionate about!  You can reach Lisa at lisatay.lbri@gmail.com or on IG @lisa.kay.taylor or www.linktree.com/lisa.kay.taylor   Stay tuned as next week Lisa shares more of how her involvement with her direct sales company helped her to "wake up and dream" bigger dreams and experience things she never thought possible.
