When all the emerging leaders on your team are working towards a common goal you have efficiency. 

When you’re leveraging the strengths and skills of your team members you create a culture of collaboration. This allows more existing and new team members to support one another. 

In turn, this drives each individual and the team toward success. 

The key takeaway for you to run with here is leveraging the strengths and skills of your team members. 

Few women wouldn’t jump at the opportunity to share their best practices when you compliment her and praise her for her creativity, ideas, and success. 

Most will feel flattered and honored to be asked to share with the team. 

You can do this in a variety of formats. You can interview her. Offer to take questions from the team prior and have a Q and A session at the end. 

Ensure you give practical tips and how-to’s. If there are any supporting materials this team member used, make sure to have links and easy access to these for others. 

You could even do a giveaway for some of the items being mentioned and shared. 

At the end of each of these team member shares, always open up the invitation to the rest of the team. Let them know you’re looking to share best practices, strengths, and skills with them. 

Have an easy way for them to raise their hand and let you know they’ve had success and are open to sharing. Maybe it’s a Google doc. Maybe it’s a direct text or email with you, however you work best. 

The most effective way to leverage the strengths and skills of any member of your team is to notice what they’re doing and personally ask. 

It’s so flattering to be complimented. Especially by you. And don’t wait. If you have a brand new team member who had a quick win go ahead and let her know you want to share this with the team. 

Make a big big deal about it. 

And don’t forget about the team members that have been around awhile. They’ve stuck with you and stuck with your company. They plug along and don’t quit. They have strengths and skills others can learn from just the same. 

Don’t limit who you highlight and why to only numbers and rank advancements. You can leverage so much more if you focus on the behaviors of team members not just the results those behaviors lead to. Right?!

If you have someone with strengths and skills around anything related to marketing feature this. I’m talking Pinterest, email campaigns, social media reels, text broadcasts, sampling products, or creative in-person activities, have them share their best practices. 

And have them come back in a month and share the outcome. You can do it in 2 steps. 

But don’t wait to share the ins and outs of these great tools. There will be so many creative ideas and so many women on your team who offer their style and approach. Leveraging these skills and strengths is key to building a culture of collaboration and teamwork. 

I can’t wait to hear how you go about featuring these amazing women and their best practices. Will you share it with us? Click over to Instagram @yourcrazybigdreams and let us know! I can’t wait to connect. 

The best is yet to come. Always.

Does every dollar already have a job in your social selling business? 

Maybe you’re already familiar with the question “Does every dollar have a job?”. This prompts us to think about whether or not our earnings are accounted for. It encourages intention, planning, allocating, and accounting for every dollar. Smart. 

Even if we were to decide a certain amount is fun money. We’ve still identified what it’s for and how much.  Giving every dollar a job means we know what’s coming in, where it’s going, and why.

Does every future dollar in your social selling business have a job? 

Today we’re focused on giving every future dollar earned in your direct sales business a job. It’s crucial to think about opportunities and possibilities from a crazy big dreams mindset. 

On the flip side, it’s important to not limit yourself by only considering what you’ve earned in the past. We don’t want to simply add 10% or 25% to what you accomplished last year. 

Those are numbers to know and be aware of, sure, but when you’re dreaming crazy big dreams you want to plan for your short-term and long-term future goals by focusing on opportunities and possibilities that only crazy big dreams are made of. 

Whether every current dollar has a job or not is a bit irrelevant to our conversation today. Today is about the future. What you will manifest with your heart, values, soul, spirit, commitment, follow through, and ambition is about the future. 

Is it helpful to know if every current dollar has a job? Of course! It’s about a spending plan. A budget. Not living beyond your means. Saving wisely. Investing for the future. 

My sister has worked in the financial industry her entire career. She’s always said there’s a pattern when people have more money. They seem to care a bit less about late payments, late fees, unnecessary expenses, and fees that could be avoided because they have more than they need. 

It’s insignificant. Yet it reflects a mindset and behavior pattern that doesn’t serve wise wealth. Maybe this is nothing like your habits. But let’s make sure it isn’t. 

Let's get you totally set for every one of your future dollars to have a job. Go to crazybigdreams.biz/107 for the complete episode and full transcript.

So what is the key to being confident financially as a leader of your direct sales business? 

Education. Without question. There is a direct correlation between financial confidence and the level of education around finances, especially for women.

Don’t overthink this. If your mind is going directly to investments, it’s not all about that. 

Sure, maybe it’s time for you to finally dive into education around investing. Go for it!

Let’s first make sure you’re educated on the fundamentals. 

Start with what’s easy and do what you can. 

First, get ultra clear on your dreams and goals. Your financial dreams and goals that is. Immediate. Short term in the next 1 to 5 years. And long-term. What are your financial dreams and goals 10 to 20 years from now? 

Until you dream and have goals around this, it’s not as much fun to get working on how to get there. Starting with clear financial dreams and goals hopefully gets you excited to gain the knowledge to make it happen. 

You’ll want to work these dreams and goals into your financial plan. You’ll first have to know what they are. Then you’ll have to make a plan. 

Tackle your debts. What are they? How much? Where? What are the interest rates, if any? 

Next, build an emergency savings nest. Do you already have one? If so, how much is it? Is this enough? If not, build one. Determine how much emergency savings you need and then determine how long it will take to build this nest. 

Lastly, set a clear spending plan. Yes. I know! But it’s so important. You have to know where you’re money is going. For many reasons. But getting educated in this area creates so much buy-in and commitment toward making your plan of working your financial dreams and goals into your financial plan. 

A final important step, stick to it! Not just your spending plan, but continuous monitoring of your financial situation. Debts, if any. Your emergency savings. And your spending plan. 

Money is always coming and going. To be financially savvy and grow your financial confidence you need to educate yourself on your current situation. If tackling investments is next, great. Investing can help put your earnings to work for you and save for your future. 

But first, get a handle on these important areas. Your Financial Dreams & Goals. Debt. Emergency Savings. And your Spending Plan.
