When Lucinda reached the rank of Platinum , she began feeling the weight of leadership on her shoulders . “ I had budding builders calling on me , needing help and advice , and I honestly felt like I lacked the wisdom to know how to lead .” However , Lucinda soon found , many times , the root issue had to do with self-confidence or belief struggles . “ I learned quickly I could be the one to loan my belief to them , showing them how far they had already come as proof and encouragement that they could do the next thing in front of them .”
One of Lucinda ’ s favorite phrases is “ think like a Diamond ”— advice she was given early in her business-building journey . It boosted her self-confidence and has supported her through new or challenging situations . She also says , “ Remember you ’ re worthy . Don ’ t for a minute think , I ’ m just an Elite or just a Premier or whatever . Don ’ t use that as an excuse not to step up and serve others . You ’ re a solutions provider , and there are people out there who desperately need you to open your mouth and share !”
Lucinda ’ s Tips
Team-building : “ Write out a strengths statement for each of your team members . Writing out my builders ’ statements for them has been so empowering and helped us learn about each other .”
Time management as a mom : “ Wake up early so you have time to work on your business before the little ones get up . Also , try not to stress about the details . Who cares if the house isn ’ t picture perfect or you eat simple food for meals . If your little ones are happy , that ’ s what matters .”
Meeting builders where they are : “ It pays off to invest your time and energy into builders who are actually doing the work , whether you need the volume on their leg or not . For those ready to run , run with them .”
