  • Tracy Rodgers: From Single Mom to 7-Figure MLM Leader

    Tracy Rodgers: From Single Mom to 7-Figure MLM Leader
    May 5 2025
    Tracy Rodgers shares how she went from living in low-income housing to building a network marketing team of over 45,000 and generating more than $10 million in monthly sales.Tracy shares her raw, transparent story filled with ups and downs, self-sabotage, breakthrough moments, and her return to the profession that changed her life forever. If you’ve ever felt stuck or doubted your path in network marketing, this episode will reignite your belief and drive.Her Humble BeginningsTracy’s journey began as a single mom of four living in a small town. She joined her first direct sales company because it was free to start. Though the products were unattractive and the tools were minimal, she jumped in with hope and energy.She had early success due to her personality, but her unwillingness to get out of her comfort zone caused her teams to collapse. Repeated cycles of starting over led to frustration and burnout, eventually pushing her to leave the industry for a while.The Turning Point in 2017In 2017, Tracy had a breakthrough when a new opportunity reignited her passion. She decided that she couldn’t do things the same way and expect different results. That led her to read You Are a Badass by Jen Sincero multiple times and dig deep into personal development.She made a list of 120 names and committed to calling 10 people a day. Although 100 people told her “no,” the 20 people who said “yes” helped her build a massive organization.Facing Rejection and Building ResilienceOne of the most impactful moments was when Tracy got harshly rejected on her ninth phone call during her outreach. It was so discouraging that she almost quit. But instead, she kept going—and that decision changed everything. Within months, her team exploded.Tracy learned that success comes just beyond the point where most people give up. As Simon quoted: “The temptation to quit is greatest when success is right around the corner.”Tracy's Daily Method of Operation (DMO)Tracy believes consistency and intention are key to long-term success. Here’s her simple DMO:Write down the 6 most important tasks the night beforePrioritize follow-ups, customer calls, social media engagement, and team trainingCarry over any unfinished tasks to the next day’s top 6Break your day into four 15-minute Power Hour blocksStay grounded in personal development dailyUsing Faith to Guide Her BusinessTracy openly shares how her faith transformed her business. She dedicates her business to God and wears her “Prayer is in My Business Plan” shirt as a daily reminder. Surrendering her goals and decisions to God helped her manage stress and find peace in the process.She believes when you lead with integrity, intention, and faith, not only will you attract the right people to your business—but also to your spiritual walk.Advice for New Network MarketersIf you’re starting from scratch, Tracy’s advice is clear:Take your business everywhere—your mouth is your officeCompliment people and start conversations everywhere you goWeave your product or opportunity naturally into lifeJoin local networking or school groupsFocus on creating relationships, not just posting onlineFavorite Quotes by Tracy Rodgers“Your success is determined by the number of lives you impact.”“Be the best version of YOU that God created you to be.”“Successful people just do the basics better.”Tracy’s Go-To Prospecting MethodOld-school still works. Tracy prefers to get prospects on the phone instead of just sending a link. This allows her to ask questions, understand their needs, and present a solution based on connection—not automation.Recommended Books by Tracy RodgersThe Game of Conquering by Rob SperryThe Consistency Pill by Simon ChanYou Are a Badass by Jen SinceroI Will Until by Darren KiddConnect with Tracy RodgersFacebook: Tracy RogersInstagram: @TracyRogersFinal TakeawayTracy Rodgers’ story proves that with the right mindset, faith, and action—anyone can create success in network marketing.

  • 5 Shocking Truths about the Modere Closing and Network Marketing

    5 Shocking Truths about the Modere Closing and Network Marketing
    Apr 21 2025
    Special episode and the lessons we can learn from the recent Modere Closing and the future of network marketing.Episode OverviewIn this episode, I dive deep into the recent shocking news of Modere shutdown without any prior notice, leaving thousands of distributors and the entire network marketing community shocked.I share not only the implications of the Modere shutdown but also the essential lessons that network marketers must learn to protect their futures and build resilient businesses.Modere: What Exactly Happened?On Friday, April 11th, 2025, Modere closed without any warning or notification.I was hanging out with my mom who was visiting from NYC when my friend Ian Farrar text me about it.I felt “sick to my stomach,” knowing friends and colleagues who had built significant incomes were suddenly left with no commissions and no clear path forward.Notable leaders like Justin Prince, Marina Simone, and others had previously left, signaling underlying issues.Still, the abrupt closure was entirely unexpectedly, making what happened to Modere even more devastating.Immediate Impact on Leaders and DistributorsI highlighted the stark reality faced by many top earners and everyday distributors in Modere:Incomes ranging from $1,000 per month to $100,000 per month vanished overnight.Unlike previous cases (such as Beachbody or Rodan + Fields shifting models), Modere provided no transition, leaving no “Plan B”.Final product orders were delivered, but beyond fulfilling refunds, everything else ceased abruptly.Is Network Marketing Still Worth It After Modere Shutdown?I addressed this question…Is residual income still viable in network marketing?I emphasize that:Any industry carries risk. Even large corporations like Kodak have vanished over time.I personally still earn network marketing residual incomefrom a business I built over two decades ago, proving that stability can exist but requires both skill and luck.I underscore that Modere’s closing doesn't represent the entire industry—many companies continue to thrive.Lessons Learned From Modere1. Entrepreneurship Involves RiskEntrepreneurship, including network marketing, involves ups and downs. Companies may close, and markets fluctuate. I reassure listeners that risk is universal, not exclusive to network marketing.2. Network Marketing Residual Income Requires Smart ChoicesNetwork marketing residual income exists but requires choosing stable companies and products with lasting demand.I share insights from my own success, acknowledging the element of luck but also highlighting the importance of market research and strategic planning.3. Personal Development and GrowthThe true benefit of network marketing isn't solely financial but personal.I share my journey from being a shy, quiet Asian kid from Brooklyn, New York, to someone confidently impacting thousands through speaking and coaching.I describe network marketing as a “personal development university with a pay plan.”Why Personal Branding Yourself is EssentialI stress that the Modere shutdown underscores the critical importance of personal branding:Individuals overly associated with a single company risk losing their identity if the company fails.Leaders who built strong personal brands (such as Tony and Sarah Zolecki, John and Nadia Melton, Michelle Barnes) transitioned smoothly to new ventures due to their personal following.Building your personal brand through consistent value-driven content ensures your community follows you beyond any single company’s fate.Characteristics of Network Marketing Companies That LastI draw from my 22 years of industry experience to highlight characteristics common to enduring network marketing companies:Avoiding Hype: Companies built on solid, valuable products rather than short-lived excitement tend to last.Steady Growth Over Rapid Expansion: Companies that grow steadily rather than explosively typically sustain longer.International Expansion: Successful, long-lasting companies eventually expand internationally, maintaining a fresh influx of ambitious leaders.Homegrown Leadership Development: Companies that develop new leaders internally, rather than recruiting high-profile leaders from other companies, achieve lasting growth and resilience.Protecting Your Future After Modere ClosingFocus on Core Business ActivitiesI advise listeners to concentrate on income-producing activities and avoid excessive distractions such as overly focusing on industry news or social media scrolling.Implementation Over InformationThe Modere closing illustrates the importance of action.Instead of just consuming information about industry events, I emphasize the need for practical implementation:Improve customer service and community-building.Offer intangible value (personal support, accountability, recognition) that competitors like Amazon can't replicate.Reinforce your unique value to customers to prevent loss to cheaper alternatives.The Importance of Investing and DiversifyingIn ...
