EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 5 NEW ADVANCEMENTS
Meghan Dirk ALBERTA A Focus on Action over Outcomes
interacting with people,” she says. “I build a lot of my business using social media, and I love doing content creation. I’ve always been on the artistic side, and I view it as a form of artwork. I study a lot of other people’s social media and think about things like, ‘What makes me click and what makes me swipe off someone else’s story?’ I find that really fun.” Building a business with a focus on the process, not the outcome, takes the pressure off. “If I hit a big advancement, that’s great, but if I don’t, that’s fine too,” she says. “I don’t feel unnecessary pressure, and building a business this way doesn’t create anxiety.

But that original goal—covering the cost of her order—is the only official goal Meghan has ever set within her Melaleuca business. Goal setting, as surprising as it might sound, isn’t really her thing. “I’ve found that if I set a goal and I don’t hit it, I get really discouraged,” she explains. “So instead, I focus on the actions that make me happy and build my business. I put my head down and do the work simply because I enjoy it.” Meghan concedes that what she does is still work; it isn’t all play. But the work she does building her Melaleuca business is the sorts of thing that she enjoys doing. “I really like meeting and
