Being a last 10% leader isn’t about being fearle Being a last 10% leader isn’t about being fearless—it’s about acting in spite of fear, using it as a springboard for bold action and breakthrough results. 

Fear is not a stop sign; it’s a signal. 

When you harness fear instead of letting it hold you back, you unlock resilience.

Ready to transform your fear into fuel? Discover the mindset and tools to lead bravely in my new book, Turn Your Fear Into Fuel at fearintofuelbook.com.
If you've been following me for a while, then you' If you've been following me for a while, then you've heard me talk about the importance of having goals in life and business. When I published Turn Your Fear Into Fuel back in March, I started setting sales goals to gauge how well the message of the book was getting out. 

Thanks to so many of you, we're almost to the next goal: 1,000 books by June 1! 

As I write this, we're just under 30 books shy of that mark. So, if you've been thinking about buying a copy, now's the time! I just need 29 individuals or a few teams to commit to turning your FEAR into FUEL TODAY.

I look forward to celebrating this milestone with all of you. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for your support.

Self-doubt isn’t your enemy. It’s actually you Self-doubt isn’t your enemy.
It’s actually your superpower.

Why?

It helps you connect with others.
It's necessary.

In my book, Turn Your Fear Into Fuel, I show you how to use fear and doubt as energy forward.
When you lean into uncertainty, you unlock empathy for yourself and others…that’s where real growth happens.

I’m honored to share that the newest edition of I’m honored to share that the newest edition of Direct Selling News features both my story and highlights from the DSU Global Celebration event. 

The May/June 2025 issue covers so many inspiring moments from this year’s “Oscars of Direct Selling,” including a recap of Direct Selling University, the Bravo Awards, and the unveiling of the Global 100. I’m grateful to be included among so many leaders and innovators who are shaping the future of our industry.

It’s easy to wish for smooth roads and easy days It’s easy to wish for smooth roads and easy days. Who wouldn’t want life to be a little less complicated? But the truth is, adversity is not just something we endure...it’s something that shapes us, sharpens us, and ultimately makes us better.

Every challenge you’ve faced, every setback you’ve overcome, has left you stronger than you were before. Adversity is like a forge; it tempers us, builds our resilience, and reveals strengths we never knew we had. It teaches us patience when things don’t go our way, creativity when the old solutions stop working, and courage when we’re faced with the unknown.

It’s in those tough moments-when you feel like giving up, when the odds seem stacked against you-that you discover what you’re truly capable of. You learn to adapt. You learn to persevere. You learn that failure isn’t the end, but a stepping stone to something greater.

So, if you’re facing challenges right now, know this: you are not alone, and you are not weak. You are in the process of becoming stronger, wiser, and more resilient. Embrace the struggle, trust the process, and remember: each obstacle is an opportunity to turn your FEAR into FUEL.
