491: Behind the Rank: Ashley DeLauro on When Encouragement Is the Mask

We are told that if we just work hard enough, hit the next rank, and lead the team to the top, we will finally find the freedom we were promised. But for many, reaching that pinnacle feels less like a celebration and more like a heavy burden. In this installment of Behind the Rank, I am joined by Ashley DeLauro to pull back the curtain on what happens when encouragement becomes a mask. Ashley built an incredible organization, hitting the top 1% of her company in record time. Yet, despite the awards and the stage time, she found herself feeling like an imposter, terrified that if she stopped pushing, it would all disappear. We dig into the "Performer Mask," the exhausting cycle of constantly pumping the tires of your team, the reality of leading through borrowed belief, and how the pressure to be perfect actually disconnects you from the very people you are trying to help. If you have ever felt like you are running a race that has no finish line, or if you are tired of using motivation as a way to manage your own fear, this conversation with Ashley is for you. We are moving past the hustle and exploring how to lead from a place of genuine connection and calling. Listen to Learn: 5:38 - Why hitting the top 1% felt more like a cage than a victory, and the exact moment Ashley realized that chasing a rank was a strategy built on fear, not fulfillment 14:36 - How relying on your team to "do it for you" creates a cycle of exhaustion, and why that momentum inevitably crashes once the external goal is achieved 17:09 - The way that operating as a "Performer" forced Ashley to disconnect from her own intuition, and kept her from speaking her truth even while standing on the biggest stages 21:33 - Why constant encouragement often feels like a transaction to your team, and how that performance actually prevents the deep connection you are craving 27:21 - How to stop trying to "fix" your team's mindset so you can actually lead them 31:31 - The pivotal shift that happened when Ashley started leading with presence, and how one apology changed the trajectory of her leadership journey 32:57 - Why your best leadership instincts are often the ones you are most afraid to trust, and how reconnecting to your LOVE-LED™ nature removes the need to perform Click here to subscribe to our LOVE-LED™ Weekly emails!

490: Behind the Rank: Jessye Nichols on Earning Everything and Feeling Nothing

For over a decade, Jessye Nichols did everything the industry told her to do to find freedom. She hit the top rank, led the number one team in her state, and crossed the million-dollar sales mark. From the outside, she had won. But on the inside, she was sobbing on the floor because "it didn't feel good enough." In this debut episode of our new series, Behind the Rank, I expose the truth about the part of this profession that nobody talks about publicly: what success actually feels like when it is built on a foundation of fear. You'll discover why hitting your biggest goals can actually make your fear louder, how the pressure to perform creates a "heavy mask" that disconnects you from your team, and why you might be pulling your heart out of your business just to survive the weight of leadership. Jessye and I unpack the inner workings of a system that conditions you to tie your worth to your results, and we discuss how restoring the "Original Order" can make your business fun, peaceful, and life-giving again. If you have ever felt like a fraud despite your achievements, or wondered why the "freedom" you worked so hard for feels like a cage, this conversation will make you feel seen and heard in a way you never have before. I can't wait for you to tune into this one, and make sure not to miss the upcoming episodes of Behind the Rank. Listen to Learn: 0:42 - An introduction to our Behind the Rank series and why now is time to have the honest conversations about leadership that no one else is having 5:17 - A pivotal moment for Jessye and the reasons hitting the top rank in her company felt like a failure instead of a victory 10:38 - The isolating reality of being a top earner and why it often feels impossible to admit you are struggling when everyone else is looking to you for answers 15:01 - How "conditional identity" traps you in a cycle of feeling like a bad leader the moment your results begin to fluctuate 22:06 - A deep dive into the "Disconnected Mask" and why leaders subconsciously stop sponsoring to protect themselves from the pain of future loss 32:32 - The story behind a break-up text Jessye sent and how we use boundaries as a wall instead of a bridge when we feel our value is being threatened 40:04 - Why your struggle isn't a mindset issue or a lack of discipline, but an intelligent survival response to a broken, fear-based system 41:03 - The shift toward leading with calling and how reconnecting to your LOVE-LED™ nature restores peace and momentum to your business Click here to subscribe to our LOVE-LED™ Weekly emails!

489: You Chose the Right Vehicle. You Were Given the Wrong Engine

For years, you've been told the reason your business isn't moving is because you need to try harder, show up more, be more consistent, or become a "better driver." But what if the problem was never the driver? In this episode, I reveal one of the most powerful insights of the entire Revive Your Downline series: You chose the right vehicle… but you inherited the wrong engine. You'll discover why your business stalled, your team stopped moving, and your belief took a hit, not because you lacked discipline, desire, or leadership, but because the fear-led engine you were handed was never designed to work. I expose how this old system trained you to hustle, push, over perform, or hide… and how that system created burnout, inconsistency, and emotional exhaustion. And we introduce the new engine, LOVE-LED™ Rhythm, the leadership operating system that creates trust, momentum, and duplication without pressure. If you've ever felt like you "should be further along," or wondered why you keep restarting every month… this episode will feel like the beginning of freedom. Listen to Learn: 5:56 - How the journey to a clear path forward begins with recognizing your true, unmasked self in leadership 6:44 - Why the common advice to "just be consistent" is a lie that leads to fear-led survival, not sustainable leadership 19:20 - A look at the devastating costs of the "Pusher Mask,"' which burns out your team and destroys trust with potential customers 27:46- Some of the ways that your "Leadership 'Mask" is attracting the wrong customers and blocking effective sponsoring for your business 36:43 - Amanda's powerful story of overcoming guilt and the "Teacher Mask" to sign on three new, high-quality team members in just one month 41:00 - The big shift you can make to your business model that will take it from cycle of fear-led consistency to the sustainable, belief-driven momentum 47:41 - How it's so important to stop blaming yourself when the fear-led leadership 'engine' fails, and why ultimate solution is installing a new system of rhythm and structure Click here to subscribe to our LOVE-LED™ Weekly emails!

488: The Belief Bridge: How Leaders Actually Move People

Most leaders think people say yes because of a great pitch, the perfect message, or the right closing script. But that's not why people move. In this episode, I'll reveal the real reason people say yes through a powerful concept we created called The Belief Bridge™. You'll learn the three stages every person must cross before they join your team, buy from you, or decide to trust your leadership again: 1. Belief in YOU 2. Belief in your solution 3. Belief in themselves And you'll discover the silent force that's been collapsing that bridge without you realizing it: your leadership mask, the fear-led identity running your conversations, your content, and your confidence behind the scenes. This episode will shift the way you see leadership, influence, and sponsoring forever. If you've been wondering why people don't respond, why conversations stall, or why you feel stuck… this is the episode that finally makes everything make sense. Listen to Learn: 7:48 - The key reasons why leadership is influence, and how you are always transferring either belief or fear in every interaction, even through silence or hesitation. 13:07 - A closer look at The Belief Bridge™, or the engine of every sale and enrollment in your business 17:27 - The impact that leading with promotions and products is having on your business and why this is approach is backward thinking 27:18 - The concept of the "Leadership Mask", or the invisible, fear-led identity that silently and automatically breaks connection and destroys trust 31:11 - Some of the ways in which the "Teacher Mask" is helpful but ultimately hollow 34:12 - How the "Performer Mask" presents a polished highlight reel where everything looks perfect, but people know it's not real and will never trust the leadership 36:52 - Why leaders with the "Pusher Mask" rely on urgency and intense promotion, which also falls short 39:15 - The specific mask that causes leaders to hold back and eventually stop trying to sponsor, convincing themselves it's safer to not try than to risk failure 42:57 - What taking off these masks and shifting to a LOVE-LED™ identity will allow you to do Click here to subscribe to our LOVE-LED™ Weekly emails!

487: Sponsoring Isn't Selling. It's a Leadership Invitation.

Most people think the reason they struggle to sponsor is because they're not confident enough, bold enough, influential enough, or good enough at "explaining the business." But that's not the truth. The real reason sponsoring has felt heavy, discouraging, or inconsistent is because you were taught a version of sponsoring that was never built on belief, only pressure, performance, and persuasion. In this episode, we expose the fear-led system that drained your belief, shrunk your calling, and turned sponsoring into a transaction instead of a transformation. And he reveals the category-defining shift: People don't join to build a business. They join to build a life that matters. You'll learn the new LOVE-LED™ approach, a simple, human, deeply aligned way to invite people into possibility by seeing them, understanding their real desires, and opening a door without pressure or pitch. If you've ever struggled to sponsor the right people… if your conversations feel forced… if you want to lead from truth instead of tension… this episode will unlock a completely different way to build. Listen to Learn: 9:39 - How to stop only shouting product hype and start being a mirror to reflect back to prospects the powerful version of themselves they want to become 22:05 - Why you need to recognize that your calling is way bigger than your company 24:23 - An introduction to embrace the LOVE-LED™ Sponsoring Invitation model, and what this approach entails 26:05 - What people really say 'yes' to (and it's not because of your rank or achievements) 29:29 - A breakdown of the three-part LOVE-LED™ Sponsoring Framework and why it's so powerful 37:31 - The primary motivators of successful leaders and how this differs from what motivates the "wrong type" you don't want to attract 42:13 - What the deepest desire in the purpose bucket is as you move beyond the surface-level goal of merely helping people Click here to subscribe to our LOVE-LED™ Weekly emails!

486: The Belief Recession: The Real Reason Your Team Stopped Growing

Everyone is talking about algorithms, engagement, and strategy… but no one is naming the real crisis in the profession: We're in a Belief Recession. Not a motivation dip. Not a recruiting slowdown. A collapse of belief in the system, in leadership, and in themselves. In this episode, I reveal the truth most leaders have felt but haven't been able to articulate: your business didn't stall because you failed… it stalled because the fear-led system you were given collapsed underneath you. The old way of growing through pressure, hype, and constant performance no longer works. Your team didn't quit; they quietly disconnected because they stopped believing. This episode is the beginning of a revival, a new way to lead, sponsor, and rebuild momentum based on connection and belief, not pressure and fear. If you've felt tired, discouraged, or confused by your lack of growth… this will be the most validating and freeing message you've heard in years. Listen to Learn: 17:39 - What I mean when I say that the "Belief Recession" we're currently in is the real reason you are stuck 22:50 - Why it's important to understand that belief only returns through restored leadership that is rooted in love, not fear 23:21 - Where the next wave of growth in this profession is and isn't coming from 25:40 - The key ways in which sponsoring is transference of belief 27:11 - What you can do right now to stand out by swimming against the current happening in our industry 35:10 - How you are the offer and your customers didn't come to you for your products; 46:11 - A reminder that the growth you are looking for is already around you in your current customers, past customers, and people you believe in you Click here to subscribe to our LOVE-LED™ Weekly emails!

485: How to Get Your Chicken List to Reach Out to You

What if the people you've always dreamed of leading started coming to you? In this first episode of Taking Off the Mask, Bob shares the powerful story of Stephanie Wood, a leader who reignited her business through the power of presence and authenticity. After years of doing "all the right things" and feeling like nothing was working, Stephanie made one simple shift in how she showed up in her content. The result? One of the people on her chicken list, someone who had been a customer for ten years, reached out to her and joined her team. This isn't a story about recruiting. It's a story about trust. It's about what happens when you stop trying to say the right thing and start showing up as the leader you actually are. We hope you enjoy hearing Stephanie's story, as much as we did sharing it with you.

Feeling burned out from social media? The advice to "just post more" is not only outdated, it's dangerous.

🎙THE LOVE-LED™ SHIFT A 5-part audio series for the leaders who can't keep doing it the old way. This is your line in the sand, naming what's breaking, what's next, and how to build what lasts. As I've been sharing throughout this special series, the old way of doing business in our industry is breaking down, and it's not just costing you momentum. It's costing you trust. Trust in yourself, trust from your team, and even trust in the very model you're trying to share. In this fourth episode of THE LOVE-LED™ SHIFT series, we're pulling the curtain all the way back. I'm breaking down the real, tangible costs of fear-led leadership with examples that are going to hit home. This isn't just about switching strategies. This is about making a foundational shift that will change everything. And we're not done yet. There's one more episode to come. If you've ever felt your belief vanish the moment your results dip, that next conversation is for you. We're going to unpack what real belief is and why you've been chasing it in all the wrong places. This is the message I wish someone had told me when I was in the thick of it. So don't stop now. When you're ready, I'll meet you there.

And in this second episode of the LOVE-LED™ SHIFT series, I'm showing you how to do exactly that. This conversation goes beyond content creation. It's about leadership.

Are you tired of shouting into the social media void, with product posts that fall flat?

Listen to Learn: 0:57 - What it really takes to succeed with selling on social media and the big shift that will be required for business owners today 4:54 - The "more is better" trap most are falling into on social media and what doing this will inevitably lead to 7:02 - How the new way to sell on social media involves serving a specific, ideal customer, rather than trying to sell to everyone 8:32 - What to do right now if you're struggling on social media, and why this may seem counterintuitive 10:54 - Why a big following isn't needed anymore, but your following will have to be this… 16:16 - What you'll be focusing on instead of just posting more content when you use our LOVE-LED™ approach Register for our Free Workshop, 5 Steps to Grow a LOVE-LED™Beauty Business!

455: Are Your Red Light Stories Holding You Back?

Let's be real: if you're feeling stuck, hesitant, or too scared to take the next step, you're probably caught up in a red light story. What's a red light story? It's the narrative you tell yourself about your business, your company, your products—and most importantly—yourself. These stories quietly creep in, convincing you to hit the brakes on your dreams. But here's the truth: your success is waiting on the other side of those doubts. In this podcast episode, I share something deeply special—an audio from a limited series I recorded for Optavia. Over the past year, we've had the privilege of working with so many incredible Optavia coaches, and this episode features my friend Kristen, one of their amazing leaders. What we talked about was too good not to share with you. Whether or not you're with Optavia, this conversation about red light stories is a game-changer for anyone in our profession. So, are you ready to stop hitting the brakes and start building momentum? Listen to Learn 4:30 - The importance of mindset and belief as you enter a brand-new year 5:56 - Why Kristen is the perfect guest to be sharing her insights on the concept of red light stories 11:11 - Some of the chaos she was experiencing in 2019 that led her to diving all-in on this podcast and what we teach on it 15:15 - The conscious decision Kristen makes each day to choose courage and some of the red light stories she has had about herself 25:30 - How we're really living from fear and a place of being selfish when we tell ourselves these red light stories 32:49 - Kristen's thoughts on showing up consistently, even when you feel like you're a "hot mess express", and the impact doing this will have on the results you achieve 42:32 - What she considers to be the hardest part of being a leader in this industry 48:54 - Kristen's superpower and what allows her message to resonate with so many people Click here to subscribe to our weekly Comma Club Coaching emails! 443: Being Brave, and Faith-Fueled Leadership with Kristen Glass Follow me on Threads & Instagram at @bob_heilig Join our free Network Marketing Community Subscribe to our YouTube Channel

452: The #1 Reason Why People Fail in Network Marketing

Feeling stuck or frustrated in your network marketing business? Watching your team struggle and wondering if you're doing something wrong? You're not alone. I recently had a conversation with a past client, friend, and fellow leader who's been feeling the exact same way. In this episode, I'm diving into a problem that's plaguing in our industry: mismanaged expectations. We have a lot of unrealistic expectations, which are often fueled by hype marketing like I talked about in the last episode. When we measure our success by the wrong metrics or fail to celebrate the progress we have made, we risk burning out or even walking away from the dreams God placed on our hearts. But here's the truth: the fact that you're still here—listening, showing up, and leading—means you're already successful. It's time to have some tough but necessary conversations about what needs to change in our industry and within ourselves. I truly believe the best days for network marketing—and for you—are ahead. Let's face these challenges together and build something extraordinary. Listen to Learn 3:29 - Why mismanaged expectations is so dangerous and the group of people in our industry that it impacts the most 4:16 - The role that social media and the pandemic have played in these issues becoming more prevalent 8:29 - A simple reframe you can make in the areas of your business and metrics that you are paying attention to 10:21 - A special ask for you regarding how you can support this podcast and its message 11:04 - What we're doing as a company to change the conversation being had around success 12:49 - Specific actions you can take right now with your team and why doing this is your responsibility as a leader 14:18 - What setting expectations looks like in practice and the advice my mentor told me starting out that still resonates with me today 16:54 - Why I feel that these conversations aren't happening and what we can do to change this 451: Are You Marketing Your Business With Heart or Hype?

451: Are You Marketing Your Business With Heart or Hype?

Let's be real: social media is packed right now with what I like to call "hype marketing." You know the posts—"biggest launch in the history of network marketing," "a compensation plan like nothing you've ever seen." It's constant. But here's the truth: these tactics aren't just overused; they're actually driving people away and undermining your business's credibility. If you've been caught up in this approach—maybe because it's what's being taught or you're following what everyone else is doing—I want you to know that it's ok and you can start doing things differently. In this episode, I share the four reasons why hype marketing is hurting your business and I reveal what you can do to start building a lasting business with heart over hype! Listen to Learn 5:00 - How hype marketing sets bad expectations and has you marketing from a place of fear 8:10 - A real life example of what I'm seeing in the marketplace at this time 10:27 - A special ask for you regarding how you can support this podcast and its message 12:26 - What I would be doing differently to market with integrity 15:21 - The ways in which hype marketing attracts the wrong people to you and what you really need to build a solid foundation for your business 18:24 - Why you always need to be thinking long-term while keeping your brand and reputation in mind 19:56 - Something you'll notice about the true effectiveness of hype marketing 21:36 - A final reminder about where credibility is born from and why hype is never going to get you there Follow me on Threads & Instagram at @bob_heilig Join our free Network Marketing Community Subscribe to our YouTube Channel

Today I'm sharing another episode of our "My First $1k" interview series, where I'm interviewing students of our Love Serve Grow™ program that not only have hit their first $1,000 commission month using what we teach them, but they have since been able to create consistent $1,000 months. Like in our last interview, today's guest Patty shares her story of being stuck before joining Love Serve Grow™, making $400 to $500 in commissions each month. She talks about the struggle she faced by not knowing what to do to reach consistent $1,000 months, but how everything changed once she became a part of Love Serve Grow™ (spoiler alert: Patty also maintained $1,000 months for 5 months straight after first reaching that level)! As you'll hear, Patty's story demonstrates the importance of not just having the right plan, but having the coaching, community and support of the people around you to succeed.

Last week I talked about how you can achieve your first $1,000 commission month, and this week I want to address the biggest mistake that is holding people back from earning $1,000 each month. And that's trying to grow a team. Now I'm not telling you not to build a team. But if you've been in your business for a while, if you're doing all the things that you're supposed to be doing, and you're still NOT earning $1k every month, then you need to acknowledge that you're doing something wrong. To help you with this, I'm going to present a very different way of thinking that may sound counterintuitive, but if you shift your mindset and practices based on what I share in this episode, you'll soon be selling and serving your way to $1,000 months. In the next episode, you'll get a chance to hear from one of our students that hit their first $1,000 month working with us, and they'll share how they did it, so make sure you tune into that one! Listen to Learn 2:09 - The problem with the training available in the marketplace right now and the big thing that is missing for people that are making under $1,000 a month 6:44 - What research is saying about the shifts in consumer behavior and why this is very relevant for our industry 10:14 - Something you can do to help eliminate the stress around having to grow a team, that will ironically aid in your building of a team 12:52 - The blind spot leaders have and a challenge they face when supporting their team members that haven't yet hit $1,000 months 15:39 - Another key benefit you'll see beyond making more money when you begin prioritizing service each day 16:53 - Why I'm so excited for this entire month and how I know you'll leave the upcoming workshop feeling more hopeful and confident about your business Sign Up Now for the FREE 30 Days to $1K Workshop at www.yourvirtualupline.com/1k 444: How to Achieve Your First $1,000 Commission Month 420: How Dejai Made an Extra $1k in Just 30 Days Follow me on Threads & Instagram at @bob_heilig Join our free Network Marketing Community Subscribe to our YouTube Channel
