Episode Synopsis

Life happens. As they say, life is what happens when we’re busy making plans. How have you learned to navigate your Direct Sales business through life’s big ups and downs? Or have you found these times simply unfold and you haven’t thought to be particularly intentional about this? Today I’m sharing my recent big life event and how I go about navigating a forward-moving business with 3 helpful strategies for your next big life event. You can find the full transcript at crazybigreams.biz/26. Since my last episode, well,  I had a baby! We welcomed a sweet little bundle of love to our family. All 4 lbs of him came seven weeks early, yet in his own perfect timing. Because he arrived well before his due date, and I was admitted without knowing I wouldn’t be going back home that day, it was all a bit unexpected. We are over the moon in love with this cutie. He’s being well cared for in the NICU and we can’t wait to bring him home. If you’ve had a NICU experience you know it’s not for the faint of heart. He’s doing well, yet it’s still not a walk in the park. I’m grateful the NICU is open 24/7 and we can go any time of day or night and stay as long as we need to. Yes, it’s excruciating walking out of his room every time I have to leave. It gets more difficult. Not easier. You may even be thinking to yourself, what are you doing on this podcast right now? Go see that baby! You’ve got quite a bit on your plate, what are you doing here? Choices Are Key to Fulfilling Your Role as Direct Sales LeaderI’m here because I want to be. Harmony is important to me. And well, that’s precisely why I’m here. To discuss how we navigate times like these while running a thriving business if we choose. And that’s the key message today. Choice. It’s easy to go on autopilot and keep plugging away. I did think long and hard about if I was taking time away from my business and if so, how much. What would that look like? What do I want? Honestly, my business does not feel like work. It’s incredibly rewarding, so fulfilling, it gives me personal purpose, having just a little something, ok a big something, to call my own. It’s a creative outlet for me. I feel more myself and more at peace when I am serving you and my clients. That said, this big life change has been an opportunity for me to be intentional and truly think about how to navigate my role as a business owner. Take this podcast for example. I thought long and hard about if I would miss an episode. I really didn’t want to miss any. I look forward to this and I love doing it. I was in the hospital for 6 long days and nights. I was admitted the same day my last new episode aired, always on Tuesdays. I was discharged the following Monday. I had time to create a new episode and have it air on schedule.I made the conscious decision to skip that week. It wasn’t an easy decision. But it was the right decision for me that week. Just as my decision to create and air this episode with you is the right one. I absolutely could have and still could disappear. Return to all other things at some point in the future. And in many ways that is exactly what I did, for my own needed timeline. I’m here because I want to be. I’m here because I can be. Three Strategies to Navigate Life’s Big Ups and Downs as a High Achiever in Direct SalesHere are the 3 strategies I personally use to navigate business while personally navigating life’s big ups and downs and what I recommend you consider the next time you find yourself in a unique spot yourself. Go to crazybigdreams.biz/26 for all three strategies and the full transcript of this episode.
