Tired of feeling like you're constantly chasing someone else's version of success? In today's episode, Rachel gets brutally honest about why the traditional markers of success in network marketing—ranks, trips, and titles—are leaving ambitious direct sellers burnt out and feeling like they're never enough. In this no-fluff episode, Rachel challenges you to ditch the one-size-fits-all success playbook and create your own definition of what winning looks like. Whether you're hustling 24/7 but feeling empty or questioning if you're "really successful" without that coveted trip, this episode will completely shift how you measure your wins.

Key Takeaways

• Success is internal, not external - Hustle doesn't equal success, and you can work your butt off without feeling successful if you're chasing someone else's metrics instead of your own

• Traditional network marketing success markers are flawed - Ranks, trips, and team size don't always reflect your real work, impact, or how hard you're grinding—they're just your company's definition of success

• You can build the business YOU want - Stop being tied to goals your company or upline set for you; define what success means based on what you actually want from your business and life

• Success has seasons and doesn't require constant hustle - The toxic hustle culture in network marketing is burning people out; true success can look like consistency, trying new things, or being present with family

• Redefining success gives you freedom - When you create your own success metrics, you release the stress of "not being enough" and stop the exhausting comparison game

• Ask yourself the hard questions - What does your ideal life look like? What's "enough" income for you right now? What do you want your business to create in 6 months, 1 year, and 3 years?
