A Journey From Within During A World Pandemic

If someone had told me 5 years ago that we would be facing a world pandemic I would have laughed. I used to think that this was something I would not see in my lifetime. I was so wrong!

10 months into this thing and the world, the country has just gone mad. Here in the united states many of us have accepted it as our new norm. I have a hard time with that because I miss my old norm!  I know I am not alone but there are times where I do feel like I am. So I had to take a long journey! A long journey inside of me during this pandemic, and what I found shocked me! 

As an entrepreneur and a mom to a young man with disabilities it really has led me to take a good hard look at myself, my life, my business.  Have you had this experience as well or am I alone on this crazy journey ending this crazy year called 2020? 
Then I got into talking with some fellow entrepreneurs and I find that I am not alone! There are many of us that have had to step back and rethink things. The world has changed and so we must change with it.

So as I was out walking the other night and my latest podcast just flowed out of me because it was like a lightbulb went off. To many new and emerging entrepreneurs are being taught by coaches and leaders that are using methods that are outdated. Yes I said it! 

Hey I get it! This year has been hard on so many different levels for all of us. I was really struggling up until this past month. I had to really take a good hard long look at myself. 

Let me share a little secret with you. I am the type of person that never shares or tells someone to do something without having done or I am doing it myself. So I am doing an experiment and I promise I will keep you updated on it. 

Hey I hear ya, your asking what is this experiment right?? 

The Experiment is that I am going  back old school, and researching the ways of network marking before Facebook, before Instagram and what was producing success. If you are like me or if you are new to network marketing or direct sales, then most likely when you started social media was a thing already. I am sure you have some ideas, especially if you have been around for a while. We will just have to see!!

In the meantime. Listen to the latest episode of The Shift Podcast and listen to what I am saying!! Could the trends in social media marketing be repeating themselves, and are we switching back to trends that we say 3-5 years ago?
