“ If you quit , you don ’ t get to cross the finish line or take in the beautiful vista at the top of the mountain . Keep going . We don ’ t know what we ’ re capable of until we give it our all .” — Carolyn Anderson
Carolyn says , “ I ’ m still learning . I try to lead by example , serve , and support my team members . I fail and I get some things right . I ’ m honest with my team — no pretense . I don ’ t consider myself above them . We ’ re all rowing together .”
Another aspect of building that has influenced Carolyn as a leader is the importance of mentorship . She says , “ When you get a builder , you get a gift ! Stay in contact regularly , serve and help him or her , and build the relationship .” Nurturing and encouraging builders is incredibly important to Carolyn . “ I want my builders to achieve their goals sooner rather than later . The best advice I can give is to find team members or cross lines to share the journey with and to have a weekly mentor call with your upline . These were game-changers for me .”
TO THE STRESSED-OUT WELLNESS ADVOCATE
Carolyn says , “ I always tell my team that I don ’ t want us to be stressed-out Wellness Advocates . I ’ ve been one , and it doesn ’ t work !” Her advice to avoid being stressed out ?
Of course , building a business takes time and tenacity . Carolyn shares , “ Take the time to map out where you want to go and how you want to get there and when . Then break it down and do it . Just like a road trip , expect delays or roadblocks and trust that they serve a purpose . Enjoy the journey ! Getting in the right mindset has made all the difference to me . It helps me relax more , so I feel better , think better , and make better decisions .”
