LeadHerShip: Toddlers, Teenagers, and a Team

Today is a candid conversation with Melanie Mitro, who has built TWO 7 figure businesses, one in network marketing and one with her company that she started—Chic Influencer! The first thing we talk about today is the fact that she has over 35 LEVEL ONES who are 6 figure earners!! 35!!! That is mind blowing!! And that speaks the quality and scalability of her systems!! When we talk about scaling, we mean being able to bring on AS MANY new customers and business builders as possible, and helping them find success with solid systems vs helping so many people one-on-one. Here are some of the other questions I asked her that you will get to hear the answer to today: ✨How did you create systems that scale? ✨How do you keep up with SO many people and feel confident that you are serving them well? ✨How do you keep people from quitting due to their own mindset obstacles? ✨What are the systems that are needed to support that many business builders well and develop them into strong leaders? ✨What do you think it takes to create momentum? Melanie knows a thing or two about success, and she definitely understands what it takes to be successful in network marketing. I have learned SO much from working with Melanie, and you are going to love learning from her today too!

I’ve set some big goals for my business, and I hope you have too! 🤩 With BIG goals top of mind, I’ve been thinking a lot about what it’s going to take to reach them. I LOVE to observe and analyze people who have hit the 6 figure (and beyond) mark, because they are always such interesting people!! They aren’t like most people! And I don’t mean how they look, their personality, their demographic, or some other “it factor.” As a matter of fact, you probably wouldn’t even be able to point most of them out in a crowd! They appear very normal and regular, BUT they are anything but regular. What makes them so interesting is how differently they think, and how different their habits are than most people. And what has always excited me (and still does!!), is knowing how all of their thinking patterns AND their habits are learned! That means anyone can make the same choices and get similar results! It starts with awareness of how 6 figure earners think and what habits they have, and next is applying the same thinking and habits in your own life. Let’s talk about it today!!

I had a GREAT conversation with a Jewel from my team this week, who has just developed FOUR new level 1 business builders, and is pretty much on top of the world right now!!! Oh except for that one thing in the back of her mind…worry. “How do I KEEP myself this excited?!” Terri asked. “And how do I keep my business from consuming me when I am this excited about it?! How do I maintain balance between my business and all of the other parts of my life?” Valid questions. The struggle is real, right?! If you’ve ever had someone on your team just as excited about the business as you are, then you can probably relate to Terri! I know I can. And when we are having so much fun in our business that we literally have to force ourselves to STOP working, we know intuitively that we can’t keep that pace forever. So today, I’m sharing with you everything Terri and I talked about this week including: The EXACT formula to keep yourself excited about your business so that you feel excited about your business ALL THE TIME How to maintain healthy balance between your business and your personal life Talking all the way through these things on this episode. So excited about 2024 y’all!! Its gonna be a GREAT year!! 😍 Link to my Weekly Time Blocker: http://Brittneydhoward.com/timeblocker NEVER MISS AN EPISODE!

This week I’m sharing with you the top 5 things I do to walk into the week feeling in control of my business and not overwhelmed—even during the busiest times of year! I’m running a multi 6 figure biz over here and I have 6 kids. It’s a mad house. Actually not really. 😂 But it WOULD totally be if I didn’t do these things consistently: 1. I time block. Every single week, I sit down with my weekly time blocker and fill out the hours with my intentions! It’s like a budget for my time. This weekly habit is a non-negotiable for me. As a business owner and mom of 6, it’s how I remain intentional and proactive versus just responding to every single request for my attention or my time. 2. I prioritize what is most important. There are always more things on my task list than I have time to get done. ALWAYS. So then I just start making decisions. Is this a priority right now? Is there time available for this this week? And what to do if the answer is no. 3. I collaborate with other people and don’t try to do it all myself. As my responsibilities have expanded over the years, so have my delegation and collaboration skills. I do this in my personal life as well as in my business! 4. I get up early before anyone else in my house. My house is loud and busy almost all of the time—except this time early in the mornings before anyone gets up! So this is a practice I’ve had for years that generates my energy. 5. I surround myself with other high performers because iron sharpens iron. You’re going to become an average of the 5 people you spend the most time with, so I choose them wisely! You’ll hear today how my inner circle effects my life. Cheers to walking into 2024 with intention and purpose!! 🥂💫 Link to my Weekly Time Blocker: http://Brittneydhoward.com/timeblocker Link to horizontal clipboard I mentioned: https://amzn.to/3vbPazo Follow me on Instagram: @brittneydhoward Watch my trainings on Youtube: https://youtube.com/@brittneydhoward Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brittney.howard.71 Check out the blog on my website: brittneyhoward.com

The last two weeks of the year are probably my favorite weeks of the whole year!! It's a time when I get reflective of the current year AND start cultivating my vision for the coming year. Reflection, planning, executing, then repeating is the process of becoming successful at ANYTHING! So today, I am re-airing an episode that aired exactly one year ago that is still super relevant and timely right now and this time EVERY year! It's about cultivating your leadership vision. It begins with reflection, and then moves into thinking about what you want to accompish in the year ahead, not just for yourself, but also for your team. Great leaders are not only able to produce results for themselves, they are also able to help OTHERS produce results! I find that these types of leaders have 3 qualities: convictions, vision, and a plan. On this episode we walk through how to develop each one of those qualities, with lots of questions to help cultivate your leadership vision for the upcoming year and then communicate it in a way that makes others catch the vision with you!! The workbook I created for this episode is one you'll want to fill out year after year. I hope you DREAM BIG for 2024 and that after filling after this workbook, you'll have clarity on how to achieve it!

Today you’re hearing a conversation I had with one of the top performing leaders on my team, and you’re going to LOVE her!! 😍 Michele Stuchell is a 6 figure earner, has earned many luxury trips, gets a monthly car bonus, and has been treated to multiple shopping sprees from the company, and has made many appearances as a corporate trainer because of her hard work and leadership!

But she also describes EXACTLY how she engages in the battle against ALL of those things by “staying close to the fire!” 🔥 She defines “staying close to the fire” as staying close to whatever propels you into uncomfortable action! 🔥🔥🔥 And she says she does it intentionally. Learn how to keep yourself motivated and inspired—even during the hardest times in your business!

It IS possible to grow your business and paycheck during the holidays WHILE enjoying what the holiday season has to offer with your family, creating special memories, and not sacrificing the things that are most important to you during this season. And what makes thriving in your business and family life at the same time possible—no matter which busy season it is—are these 3 very important things: Intentionality Boundaries Discipline Last week we talked about getting clarity so you can begin to be intentional, and today we jumping into the next steps to being intentional—especially during the BUSIEST times of the year—simplifying and making a plan for the most important things! We are also talking about healthy boundaries in your life and business, your relationships, your attention, and where your time is going so that you dont miss any of the most important things in any realm of your life! And then I’m going there. I’m saying the “D” word. Discipline. Its not fun, but its a necessary part of success in ANYTHING. 😉 I hope your holiday season is full of intentionality, warm memories made with people you love the most, AND success in your business! 🤍

It IS possible to grow your business and paycheck during the holidays WHILE enjoying what the holiday season has to offer with your family, creating special memories, and not sacrificing the things that are most important to you during this season. And what makes thriving in your business and family life at the same time possible—no matter which busy season it is—are these 3 very important things: Intentionality Boundaries Discipline Today we are diving right into that first one, and discussing how to start being intentional! Today you’re going to leave with questions that will help you gain clarity on how to finish the year strong, leaving perfectionism behind so you can feel GREAT about the progress you are making! Also on today’s episode: what to do when your team feels “quiet” during the holidays!

Heard this quote the other day and it HIT. "Winners are focused on winning; losers are focused on winners." Because how many times in my own journey have I let comparison slow me down or make me feel like I wasn't good enough? So today's episode might be the kick in the mindset you need from your friend who has been there, and who has had to overcome this many times myself!! When I analyze the people on my team who are WINNING, they are so focused on the finished line they are not even paying attention to what everyone around them thinks of them!! And when I analyze the people who feel "stuck" or who don't feel successful, often times its because they are comparing themselves to the people they perceive to be ahead of them and because they are looking to the left or the right, they can't even SEE the finish line since its AHEAD of them. Sometimes all that is needed to fix the problem is simply awareness!! So that is why we are hanging out here today on the topic of how winners think vs how losers think. Some of these are gonna build your confidence, but some of them are gonna sting. And as long as you choose to grow from it, then we are calling that a WIN. 😉 Follow me on Instagram: @brittneydhoward Watch my trainings on Youtube: https://youtube.com/@brittneydhoward Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brittney.howard.71 Check out the blog on my website: brittneyhoward.com

How much is “enough?” At what point should I just be “content” and quit striving for more? Answering questions like these and more on today’s episode! Because here is the truth of the matter: “contentedness” has nothing to do with how much you HAVE and everything to do with your heart attitude! Is it possible that you’re not actually content and you’ve been using “contentedness” as an excuse for complacency? Contentedness has nothing to do with your work ethic! So we’re tackling the true definition of contentedness today, and I wanna hear what you think about it after you listen.

I’ve been getting some great questions lately surrounding the issue of making money. Is it wrong for Christians to want to make a lot of money? How much is enough? At what point should I just be “content?” I find that so many Christians struggle with feeling guilty for wanting to make a lot of money (I was one of them!!), and others downright fear what having a lot of money is going to do to them. So today we are digging into that first question, and next week, we will tackle contentment and determine what is “enough.” Follow me on Instagram: @brittneydhoward Watch my trainings on Youtube: https://youtube.com/@brittneydhoward Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brittney.howard.71 Check out the blog on my website: brittneyhoward.com

There are 3 possible reasons you haven’t reached your goals: Mindset Habits Skillset All 3 of these go hand in hand! Last week we talked about the first one-mindset- and today we are jumping in to the other two! Sometimes its not just a matter of what you need to DO, its a matter of who you need to BECOME. “Of course you want to do what I do, but are you willing to do what I DID?” -John Maxwell In order to become as successful as you want to become, you need to observe the habits of the people who have gotten to where you want get. And then you need to make those habits your own. We are going to talk about a few habits of the most successful people on the planet that I’ve observed and studied. Lastly, this business is a set of skills that anyone can master and get good at. How well are you getting results in these areas of recruiting, retention, duplication, and leadership? If there’s an area where you’re NOT getting great results, commit to mastering those skills until you do! If you want to reach your goals with more speed, remove the friction. Develop the mindset of a successful person, develop the habits of a successful person, and develop the skills that a successful person has….and you will BECOME a successful person. 🤍 For further study on the habits of highly successful people, I recommend these books: High Performance Habits https://amzn.to/46K9vcQ Successful Women Think Differently: 9 Habits to Make You Happier, Healthier, and More Resilient https://amzn.to/45Iy0Ws The Slight Edge: Turning Simple Disciplines into Massive Success and Happiness https://amzn.to/496LzSp Follow me on Instagram: @brittneydhoward Watch my trainings on Youtube: https://youtube.com/@brittneydhoward Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brittney.howard.71 Check out the blog on my website: brittneyhoward.com

Last week we talked about what to do when you don’t “feel” successful, which is often times rooted in comparison, but what if you are CONFIDENT you can reach your goals and just feel FRUSTRATED that your progress is much slower than you want it to be?!

Did you know that the #1 reason people QUIT their network marketing business, is because they don’t FEEL successful? Not because they are NOT successful, but because they don’t FEEL successful. You know what the root of that feeling is? COMPARISON. And comparison is the thief of joy. It will rob you of joy through the journey on the way to your goals. So today we are diving into the symptoms of comparison, the results of comparison (some of these might surprise you!!) and the cure for comparison, so that you can be free of this mindset that can either make you feel like you are not good enough OR make you feel like you are better than people. If you want to “feel” successful, let’s examine your thoughts. 🤍 Follow me on Instagram: @brittneydhoward Watch my trainings on Youtube: https://youtube.com/@brittneydhoward Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brittney.howard.71 Check out the blog on my website: brittneyhoward.com

This week we are continuing to talk about what causes you to feel anxious, stressed out, and under pressure in your business. Last week we went over the first reason, which was believing that all of your success (or lack thereof) depends on you and not fully depending on or trusting in God with your business. This week we talk about the other reason, which is when you try to find your value/worth in something other than your relationship with Jesus. We’re gonna discover how to tell if you’re struggling with that, what the symptoms of it are, what’s causing it, and what the cure is. I hope that this two part series encourages you to work from a place of trust, peace, and joy through the process as you work toward your dreams! 🤍 Here are some Scriptures about what God expects in our work that you can look up and study: Proverbs 21:5 Galatians 6:9 Proverbs 12:14 Proverbs 14:23 Ecclesiastes 9:10 Proverbs 10:4 Proverbs 6:6-8 Proverbs 31:13, 15, and 17 Isaiah 40:29-31 Jeremiah 31:16 Proverbs 12:24 Colossians 3:23 Proverbs 13:4 Here are some about how and why we should trust in Him: Psalm 127 Proverbs 23:4-5 Ecclesiastes 3:12-13 Exodus 23:12 Luke 12:15 Proverbs 11:28 Proverbs 10:22 Book mentioned in this episode: https://amzn.to/3PzRjLs Faith Driven Entrepreneur Follow me on Instagram: @brittneydhoward Watch my trainings on Youtube: https://youtube.com/@brittneydhoward Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brittney.howard.71 Check out the blog on my website: brittneyhoward.com

Book mentioned in this episode: https://amzn.to/3PzRjLs Faith Driven Entrepreneur Today's episode: Anxious, stressed out, and feeling tons of pressure about your business? I have a confession: I am pretty sure I have felt anxiety about my business more than I HAVEN’T. And a few weeks ago in Mexico, God convicted me about that. I was spending some alone time reading a book called The Faith Driven Entrepreneur (link below) and one chapter in particular was SO convicting that I had to pray right then and I have to tell you about it now because surely I cannot be the only one. Today we are going to talk about what it means to be a FAITHFUL worker vs a WILLFUL worker. Both work hard. They may even get the same result. But one has peace and joy surrounding it and the other experiences fear and worry through the whole process. One is able to fully enjoy the fruit of their labor knowing where it came from and will come from, and the other can never relax, never fully enjoy it because they are worried that if they let up, things wont stay afloat or move forward. Which one sounds like you? There are a few things that can cause you to feel anxiety and pressure in your business and today we are going to talk about one of them: not fully depending on and trusting God with your business. Hope this perspective helps you as much as it helped me. 🤍 Follow me on Instagram: @brittneydhoward Watch my trainings on Youtube: https://youtube.com/@brittneydhoward Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brittney.howard.71 Check out the blog on my website: brittneyhoward.com
