EP 12 - How do you maintain productivity and balance between your professional ambitions and personal life - without guilt and burnout?

Melanie started her entrepreneurial journey in 2011 with a health/fitness company. With less than 75 Facebook friends and 0 Instagram followers she grew to the #1 sales consultant in the company and developed the largest organization in the network.

She navigated through mom guilt, poor boundaries, leadership challenges, and burnout which she talks about in her Women Inspiring Women weekly podcast.

She now mentors and trains other direct sellers to grow healthy and successful businesses through her strategies and tools for well-rounded success. She created Chic Influencer with her business partner to equip more direct sellers with the tools and systems for scalable long-term success and happiness.

In this episode -

Finding Comfort and Inspiration: Surround yourself with positive influences and success stories to maintain motivation. Melanie suggests seeking out content that inspires action rather than competition, which can stifle creativity.

Morning Routine: A solid morning routine is crucial for productivity. Melanie highlights the practice of visualizing goals and tracking progress through journaling, which helps maintain focus on long-term objectives.

Balancing Work and Family: Melanie shares her experience of managing mom guilt and the need for quality time with her children. She learned to be fully present during family time, which improved both her personal relationships and work efficiency.

Productivity Strategies: "Eating the frog" is crucial skill, where the most challenging tasks are tackled first in the day. This approach makes sure that essential activities are completed, even if the rest of the day becomes chaotic (and you know it does!)

Flexibility and Self-Compassion: Both Melanie and Marissa discuss the importance of allowing flexibility in work schedules and being kind to yourself when productivity fluctuates. Create a holistic view of your progress over a week rather than daily, reducing feelings of defeat!
