Descripción

In part one of our five-part workbook series, Lisa Duck and Susan Larimer are talking about something most of us don't want to admit — we're terrible at saying no, and it's draining us. Susan shares the inspiration behind her new workbook to help women figure out what to say yes to, what to say no to, and how to do it without the guilt spiral that usually follows. We get into why direct sellers are especially prone to saying yes to everything, share our most expensive yeses (spoiler: one of them cost a whole career), and Susan walks you through the first exercise in her workbook — the Life Inventory. 📌 This episode is sponsored by CinchShare — the social media scheduler built for direct sellers.

E127: Your Intentional Life Part 2/5: What Are You Actually Building?

In this episode of The Other 99%, Lisa and Susan dive into part two of their five-part series on Susan's new workbook. This week's focus is on the big three: your why, your mission, your vision, and your values. Most of us in direct sales are so focused on chasing the next sale, the next recruit, or the next like that we never stop to ask why we're doing any of it. This episode gives you the space to actually think about that. We cover why we skip the why work, how reactive mode is draining your energy, and the three-to-five-year vision exercise from Susan's workbook that'll help you figure out exactly where you want to be — and whether the things on your plate are going to get you there. 📌 This episode is sponsored by CinchShare — the social media scheduler built for direct sellers.
