business opportunity. After that phone call with Brooke, I decided it was time to find out more and I truly committed to five hours a week for six months. “Originally, we saw Melaleuca as a plan B that would allow me to do contract work from home. But that changed when we advanced to Senior Director within eight months and that little plan B turned into plan A. I am now one of the moms who has time for a conversation in my gym clothes after dropping off the kids at school. But little do some of those moms know—I also bring in a six-figure income and a residual income that keeps growing!

When I say uninterrupted, I mean no texts, emails, or social media. When you do this, you’ll immediately notice a change in your mindset and your actions. Your goals will feel closer, and your self-belief will skyrocket. Leadership is far too important to just be going through the motions. When you lead with purpose, just watch how your life can change. Leadership isn’t for the faint of heart. I know. I’m cheering you on as we all take steps to be better leaders.
