Social Selling Simplified with Lori Ervin

This episode might end up being a bit controversial, but I feel like it's a conversation that we need to have.   And while it's about leadership, it's kind of about leadership gone wrong.   This episode is for anyone who has ever felt pressured in the wrong way by a leader. Or by anyone who has ever felt like a leaders doesn't have their best interests at heart.   And there's no judgement ...only support. Because I can honestly tell you that I cringe when I look back at many things in my Network Marketing leadership journey.   So, it might also be an episode for aspiring and growing leaders to learn.   Either way, I hope you enjoy it!   And if you loved the sounds of the Academy ...(I know, I talk about it a lot - but it's honestly the heart of everything I do! I pour into this community, I adore the women on the inside and it will give you every single step to building your 6 figure social selling/Network Marketing business) you can learn more here:   https://www.levelupwithlori.com/levelupacademy   __________________   Are you in my FB group yet?

I had this massive AHA moment the other day, while chatting with a friend/client.   So much so, that I literally had to stop what I was doing and record this Podcast Episode.   I think some people are getting the whole 'multiple streams of income' totally wrong. And what they're doing is actually taking away from what they are building, rather than supporting and expanding it.   After listening to this episode (I am pulling back the curtain and sharing my own strategy and personal business) let me know if this is you! And if this episode helps to give you some clarity.   I truly hope that it does!   ____________________   This episode is sponsored by inspiration and timing.

We have talked a lot about the shifts that are happening in the industry, but in today's episode, I wanted to have a very real conversation around -    What to do, if it happens to you.   Because honestly, I haven't ever really. met someone who saw it coming. Or didn't feel blindsided and gutted from this experience.   Let me walk you through my best advice.   And then I would love to hear yours! Send it my way and I will share it with everyone else, xo   __________________ I am excited to announce that Magic Mind is the January sponsor of the Social Selling Simplified Podcast!

Moment of honesty - are you BUSY or are you PRODUCTIVE?   My goal in life (well, in business) is to teach women how to build a 6-figure foundation for their business in 1 hour/day. 5-6 days/week.   And there are 2 key ingredients to doing this: Set aside the time to work your business - this one likely seems like a no brainer, but I'm always amazed at how many people are trying to work their businesses in the cracks of their day (stop the madness!) Know how you're going to use that time ...so that you use it effectively   You want to make sure that you're not just BUSY, you're productive. Honestly - I know how precious time is, and I know how many things you have on your plate ...so my goal is to make sure you don't waste that precious time. That the time you set aside to work your business, is productive and effective.   Let me know what you think after you listen to this episode! I can't wait to hear your AHA moments!   __________________ I am excited to announce that Magic Mind is the January sponsor of the Social Selling Simplified Podcast!

Okay, I want to know the truth ...do you create a Vision Board each year? And better yet! Do you USE your Vision Board once you have made it??   Because I have to be honest with you ...for years I have created one, and then promptly forgotten it. But not this year!   This year I am going to set the goals that matter. And then I am going to prioritize those goals every single day of the year, until I hit them.   And this Podcast will walk you through my process.   __________________ I am excited to announce that Magic Mind is the January sponsor of the Social Selling Simplified Podcast!

I think we can all admit that 2024 has been a year ...am I right?!   So many companies making dramatic shifts to more of an Affiliate model than a traditional MLM. So many Social Sellers needing to pivot and roll with the punches.   Everyone needing to learn a new way to do business.   In this episode I am going to walk you through the biggest shifts that I see heading our way in 2025. Not only will I talk about the shifts, but I will walk you through the strategy of how to maneuver these shifts in your business. Let's set ourselves up for the best year yet.

In this BONUS EPISODE to end 2024, I break down the 3 main things that stop the majority of business owners and exactly how to overcome your own barriers.

In this BONUS EPISODE we chat time management. And specifically -how to create your very own Power Hour. This is one of the essential systems that I teach inside the Level Up Academy. Because if you can manage your time, you can build anything you set your sights on.

In this BONUS EPISODE, I chat manifesting. Most people have a general idea what manifesting means and can look like - but I walk you step by step through my 3 step process. With Step #3 being the one that the majority of people miss and is the most powerful step.

In this BONUS EPISODE we chat Higher Level Self. Or Next Level Self ...whatever you want to call it. Essentially WHO you need to be, in order to achieve the goals that you have set. Spoiler - the quicker you can close the gap between who you are right now, and who it is who has achieved the goals you have set ...the quicker you will hit those goals.

In this BONUS EPISODE we chat Facebook, and some strategies for how to grow your network on Facebook. I talk about both FB Groups and your Personal FB Profile.

In this BONUS EPISODE I break down how to create a Content Bank. I won't lie ...this is more of a visual training, but I decided to include it anyways because I still think there's a lot that you can get from listening in.

The holiday season is here, THE HOLIDAY SEASON IS HERE!   And it's time to roll up our sleeves and get. to. work.   You guys - don't waste this season away ...get excited! And get fired up!!!   Here are some of my best tips & ideas for you, xo

Wowzers ...there has been a lot of change in the industry over the last 6 months!   So, first off - I want you to know that if you're a part of any of the companies that have made announcements and changes ...my heart goes out to you. Having been through it myself, (just a little over 2 years ago) I know exactly how it feels. And just how hard it can be, to know what the next step should be.   And I think we always have 2 choices when faced with these kinds of challenges -    Give up, and quit. Or ask ourselves ...how do I see this as an opportunity?   So, yes - the industry is changing. It has been through many (many) changes over the years.   What was once a door to door 'thing' ...and then an in home party model ...and then an online party model - is evolving again.   And I want to talk about how to evolve WITH it! And how to use the changes, as an opportunity to not only build something all our own, but to build in multiple streams of income.   I would love to hear your thoughts after listening to this episode! xx

We are learning what it means for us ...but what do the shifts we are seeing mean from a company perspective?   In this episode I sat down with Donna Pinsonneault from She's Got Leggz and we talked about these changes from a corporate perspective.   What decisions companies are facing. How there are ways to make sure that everyone wins. What is going on in the industry.   I have always always respected Donna, and I love our conversations - so I hope you enjoy this episode! XO

I think we can all see that the industry is changing.   But rather than feeling fear around that - what if we embrace it as an opportunity?   An opportunity to do something new. An opportunity to challenge ourselves. An opportunity to be on the forefront of a brand new era.   This episode is all about the 2 shifts that I think every single person in the Network Marketing/Social Selling industry should be making.   I would love to hear what you think after you've listened! XO

Listen, I'm going to guess that there are more mistakes that we are all making in our businesses ...but here are 4 that I think you can correct right away, and will make (almost instantaneous) shifts!   You're hiding. You aren't using your personal profile. You are only sharing products. You aren't repurposing or re-using content.   I will dive into each of these inside today's episode.   After you've listened, make sure to come and let me know if you're guilty of any of them! XO   And ps. Today's episode was sponsored by my brand new Instagram course for Network Marketers.

Last June I walked away from my VIP Group, and 6 weeks ago I decided it was time to go back.   Both decisions were right for me at the time and I am glad that I made them.   This episode will take you through the reasons that I ended up jumping back into my group and what the results have been.   This is the final episode of season 6 ...and I want to thank you for listening, thank you for being a part of my community, and thank you for being a part of my journey! XO

What if being YOU was the secret sauce? But also the hardest part of all?   Here's the thing -    I think we all struggle with authenticity.    In a world where we have so many outside influences, where our companies train us to fit inside a box, where we learn strategies on how to be successful and where we are constantly inundated with what success looks like from an outside perspective - it can be a hell of a challenge, to just 'be ourselves.'   In this episode of the Podcast, I sat down with my good friend Lauren Gilhula and chatted about how to do this. And also how to know if you are currently operating outside of this. And exactly why, this will actually make your business easier to show up inside ...and actually make it fun.   I think you're going to love it!   And after you listen to it, I want you to give yourself permission to release the shit that is holding you back. The worries or fears around judgement, all of the 'shoulds' that exist in the back of your brain ...and just ask yourself - "if there were no rules, how would I build my business? How would I show up? What would I share?"   And then find a way to go out and do that!   Want to connect with Lauren? You can follow her over on Instagram @mzzlaurengilhula
