The Direct Selling Accelerator Podcast

Happy New Year, everyone! 🎊 To start off 2022, we’re doing something slightly different but really fun as usual. We’re bringing on Mike Johnston, Strategic Intervention Coach and Head Coach of MJB Seminars, to talk about relationships.  Greg and I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Mike for five years now. And over that time, we’ve learned a lot about ourselves...

We’re wrapping up 2021 with a BANG!  It’s been a wonderful past 12 months and it’s only natural to end the year with something SPECIAL.  ...And so we’ve compiled some of my most memorable snippets into one full-length episode! In all honesty, the challenge here was picking just a few, because there are sooooo many!  Here are a few of my favourite clips that h...

I have been waiting A LONG time to make this episode and it seemed like the perfect time to do it! With our ridiculous Christmas get-up and we’ll be answering fun questions our Accelerator members asked.  There were so many funny and curly questions in here so we hope you have a bit of a laugh with us as we talk about our behind-the-scenes, lesser talked about topics such as… who...

It’s noisy in here! My head I mean….  Christmas is an insane time of year but add in family, a business to run and don’t even mention the ‘C’ word…. So how do we quiet this busy mind of ours whilst ensuring we don’t let the ball drop? This has been a challenge for me for years and to be fully transparent, it’s an ongoing journey.  I&rsquo...

Ever thought ‘That would be a great idea…. But I could NEVER make it happen’?  Today’s episode is going to be just what you need if you have ever wondered about the above. Perhaps you are running a business or in a role where you feel overwhelmed prioritising your time, being a great parent all while maintaining success in business… how do you do it all!? 😱 .....

The direct selling industry is an ABSOLUTE roller coaster ride 🎢 You can have bookings for five straight days, then have a dud party on the sixth… and that’s when you go “Oh no! 😱😱😱”  But it’s all part of the journey! Greg always tells our kids “Without the salty, you can’t ever appreciate the sweet”. And in today’s episode I am joine...

Every day is a blessing when you work in an industry that changed your life... And over 20 years since I started my own direct selling business journey, I still hear incredible life stories every day that remind me why there is simply no industry quite like this one!!  ... But THIS episode gave me a whole new perspective and a whole new love for the direct selling industry. The beautiful Chri...

When you start a business, you’re motivated…. Excited…. filled with hopes and dreams, ready for battle. BRING. IT. ON. Then the inevitable happens… reality. That reality can be amazing but it can also be like hitting a brick wall at 1000kph…. To be fair, my experience is that it’s both. It’s a roller coaster ride,  one minute you’re thriving...

Have you ever had this sinking feeling where you’re doubting all your success and feel like you don’t deserve any of it? Imposter syndrome is REAL.  There is no one better to talk to about this topic so it’s such a privilege to have the beautiful Noeleen Shine from Lorraine Lea with us. Noeleen is a top leader and is a Senior District Leader within the company. As someone wh...

Have you heard of Auxano’s 14 Day ‘Done for you’ Post Challenge?  We get so many people email us saying “I'm overwhelmed, I'm stuck, I'm frustrated” or “What do I need to do next?”  So we sat down and had a team meeting to brainstorm how we can help make social media easy for you guys WITHOUT just standing up, doing a keynote presentation, and ju...

One of the most important lessons you’ll ever learn in sales isn’t how to ‘sell’, it’s knowing WHO you’re selling to.  It seems pretty basic but you’d be surprised at how very few people actually apply this to their strategy. Not only is identifying your perfect customer the key to growing your sales, it also is a foundational aspect of scaling your b...

One of my pet peeves is having someone on Facebook I haven't talked to in a while, message me to say Hi... then immediately send me a request, sell or link to a product they're selling. They have no right… they have not yet earned it😣 sound familiar? I bet you've had this happen to you many a time too! Remember: People buy from people they like, know and trust… they can smell the se...

60% of new businesses fail in the first three years. It’s a scary thought, and for good reason:  Starting your own business isn’t easy! So how do you be in the 40%... great question! This is a great one to be answered by an inspirational woman who’s been through the ups and downs of starting a new business from the spark of an idea to solve a problem she was frustrated by to...

The phrase I hate to hear the most - ‘You are a super mum! How do you run a business with four kids?’ Let’s get this straight… Supermum is a dirty word, it sets us up to unfairly judge ourselves with unrealistic expectations. Trust me… it's a daily battle for me too! To speak into this I decided it’s time to pull out the big guns 😉 For this episode, I pull in...

THIS was a cool episode and one you won’t want to miss! Meet Mark Schulman, who has enjoyed a 30-year career as a first-call drummer for world-class rock and pop artists including P!NK, Cher, Billy Idol and Beyonce to name just a few.    During his years in the industry he has observed some incredible instances and shares with us some amazing stories where attitude was the key that...

Is the platform now dead in the water? Some of the biggest Facebook challenges we hear are:  “My stuff isn’t getting any reach.” “I’m not getting engagement.” “I feel like I’m wasting my time.”  “Facebook is just not working!” So I figured, it’s time I bring in the big guns so I’m joined by my favourite person...

There’s so much going on in the world right now that bombards and stresses us. When we let these overwhelming events get the better of us, we lose track of what really matters in our business, our career, or in general, our lives. How do we keep our focus in check and how do we stop these distractions from taking over us so we can be sure to reach our desired destinations? In our episode for...

Each week at Auxano HQ we have a team planning session, but this week we found ourselves discussing how exhausted and run down we all felt as a result of the HUGE 2 years we (and you too!) have ALL had. Our conversation turned pretty quickly to what each of us is and can be doing more of to take care of our own needs and show ourselves a little much needed love. Let’s face it. We can never g...

It’s never been a better time than right now for us to have a meaningful conversation about anxiety which anyone can fall victim to regardless of age, gender, situation or lifestyle. I’m going to take this opportunity to put my hand up high and say anxiety is a daily battle for me and sometimes… in the heat of life's challenges knowing what to do can be like grasping at nothing....

Do you remember a time when you gave up and then later wondered what might have happened if you had just kept going? Could your pot of gold have been a few little steps away? Although you can never turn back the time that you lost, you can always pick up where you left off, just be prepared to equip yourself but how do you do that? Join me in my conversation with the gorgeous CEO of Chalk Couture,...

As much as I prefer focusing on the positive side of life, it was a bit of fun to take a bit of a turn and get some pet peeves off my chest with a very special industry friend! I'm joined in this episode by Ciara Philippa for a conversation about the biggest social media posting sins that we see on a daily basis. Throughout this chat, we also provide a ton of tips and tools that will help you avoi...

Well, get ready because this episode is an inspiring chat about goal setting, productivity and commitment, and how to be a great leader. Tamsen Sala-Linnan was literally born into this industry and watched as her parents b...

2 years ago, almost to the day, Greg and I had an experience that changed our lives and our business forever. We want to show you a glimpse into that journey with a special guest. In this episode, I’m introducing you to a very good friend, Grant Chugg, who shares how a single “yes” helped him find a purpose that is larger than himself and changed the trajectory of his life. ...

How do you eat an elephant? I know it’s a bit weird to ask that question, but with all the challenges we’ve faced in the last 18 months it seemed relevant that it came up in this episode... there’s been so much overwhelm, pressure, and anxiety just for starters.  SO how do you eat an elephant? The answer is “just one bite at a time.”  In today’s episod...
