This week on the podcast, Pam Sowder is joined by Mira Denning! Mira is the single mom of one little boy and a former lawyer who joined the industry exactly 5 years ago. Before she came to the industry, she was climbing the corporate ladder. From the outside looking in, you would’ve never guessed that she needed the extra income. But behind the scenes, she was struggling and in serious debt. After a year went by of watching her to-be enroller she decided that something had to change — she was going to give this network marketing thing a shot! She soon realized how real this opportunity was and has never looked back since!
In today’s episode, Mira is sharing all of the lessons she has learned in her 5-year journey in network marketing! She addresses misconceptions around the industry, how to overcome shame, what to focus on when you’re new to the business, and how simplicity duplicates. She also speaks about her personal experiences as a single mother, how to get over mom guilt, and how to “get over yourself” to reach new heights of success! You won’t want to miss hearing Mira’s advice!
