STEP INTO JUNE – AND LAUNCH THE SUMMER SEASON ON YOUR TERMS
Do you ever find yourself feeling frustrated with the progress of your business? Do you experience moments of hesitation, days of doubt, or times of trouble?
As you move into the summer season, with its many distractions, you may have days where you feel like that woman in the commercial who moans, “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!”
Yes! The summer season can be loaded with distractions – from kids home from school to taking family vacations. Champions learn to work through these distractions, stay on track, and keep going.
When I was in the field, I learned that “All distractions are equal.” Meaning, no matter what’s going on in your life, there are universal solutions to stay consistent with your Direct Selling business.
If you are ready and willing to play full out, let’s step into June, and launch the Summer Season on your terms!
June Action Guide
Your June Action Guide offers three key Action Steps to define your leadership skills, strengthen your commitment, and deal with distractions.
With these exercises, you’ll express your passion and dedication to your business, and develop the right attitude to carry you through any and all distractions.

Print out the action guide before you listen to the audio below, so you can follow along with the transcript and take notes. This will improve your retention and your ability to put what you learn into immediate action.
“Whatever you want to do, do with full passion and work really hard towards it. Don’t look anywhere else. There will be distractions, but if you can be true to yourself, you will be successful for sure.”

Social Media Strategy
Video Via Phone
You hold one of the most powerful marketing tools in the world in the palm of your hand every day. With apps like Facebook Live, IGTV (Instagram TV), and Instagram stories, there’s no better way to connect with your audience, share your thoughts, and brand yourself as an expert in your field.
The best live videos are casual, intimate, and fun. Just grab your cell phone or laptop, turn on the video recorder, and start talking! Prepare your thoughts and do your best. Practice makes perfect. To hold your audience’s attention, begin with compelling information from the moment your video starts. Your goal is to deliver personalized content and value to your audience – in a way only you can deliver.
There are a variety of video options available on social media platforms. Facebook Live allows you to interact with your audience, and can be used much like a webinar to hold interactive classes. With Instagram stories, you become a digital storyteller. Use Instagram’s Boomerang app to create very short videos that loop continuously. IGTV allows you to upload videos up to an hour long – great for a free class – and creates user “channels” similar to YouTube.
June Challenge: Schedule a Facebook live event with the goal to go LIVE one time each week. Send an Instagram story or Boomerang at least once a week.

Time Management Tip
Gain Fresh Clarity With Your Calendar
As you enter the summer season, make a point to review your calendar. Now is not the time to be reactive and unorganized. Now’s the time to set priorities and work a schedule.
The summer can cause a big shift in your usual daily schedule: the kids are home from school, a family vacation is coming up, your spouse may take time off work, and there could be any number of baseball, soccer, swimming, dance or gymnastics classes to chauffeur the kids to. As you move into the summer, there are many fun and fascinating activities that will fill your calendar.
Champions control their calendar. Look at your week and revise your hours of operation to reflect the season. In doing so, you can focus on the family AND stay consistent with building your business.
Start by blocking off the time in your calendar when you are committed to family activities. Block off only the events you consider to be a priority. Next, schedule the hours for your Direct Selling business. Prioritize the income-producing activities that will move your business forward the fastest. Activities like reaching out to new people, making three-way calls with your Sponsor or upline leader, attending guest-driven events, and meeting with new prospects. Determine the number of hours each week you will absolutely commit to your business, and schedule the hours accordingly.
The summer can be a very hectic time. Don’t get so caught up in your schedule that you forget the fun. It’s fun to talk to new people, coach Emerging Leaders, and mentor your team. The goal is to arrange your commitments in a way where you’ll enjoy the summer season both personally and professionally.
Motivational Message
Inspire Through Your Message
By now you know the importance I place on Personal Development.
This month, I’d like to discuss a number of simple and fun ways you can share the concept of Personal Development with your team – and how it will support their ultimate success.
Consider the variety of ways you communicate with your team. It makes perfect sense to share Personal Development tips in your monthly communications.
Some examples:
- On your team page, promote a self-help book you’ve recently read, and include your top three takeaways. You can also share how you’ve put those takeaways into practice to positively impact your business, your confidence and/or your vision. Ask your key Leaders to join you in recommending the books that are influencing them.
- Start a book club. Those who join will read the same book over the course of a month. Once read, you can come together on a brief conference call to discuss the lessons you’ve learned. Working together, you can turn those lessons into actions.
- If you have monthly or weekly team calls, be sure to include Personal Development in your agenda. I used to share a personal story each week on how my practice was impacting my leadership style, my belief, and my actions.
- Each time you work one-on-one with an Emerging Leader, take time during the session to reinforce the power of Personal Development. Remind them that Champions find at least 30 minutes every day to work on themselves, their attitude, and their commitment.
Here’s what I know for sure: By inspiring your team to embrace Personal Development, you’ll not only impact their business, you’ll impact their lives.
Start today to develop the mindset and the skill set to create Outrageous Achievement.
As you gain more clarity in each season, you’ll set money-making priorities, take more consistent action, and meet and exceed your goals, not only this year, but for years to come.
Step into June. Move through distractions with ease and launch your summer season on your terms!
