In the journey of building a successful Young Living business, it’s easy to get caught up in the routine, the tried-and-true methods, and the expectations of others. But what if the key to your success lies in embracing a more rebellious mindset? In a recent conversation with Graham Cochrane, author of Rebel: Find Yourself by Not Following the Crowd, we explored the idea that to truly thrive, you might need to break away from the norms and rediscover who you are at your core. Here’s how you can apply these powerful concepts to your Young Living business.
1. Rediscover Your Dream
Graham talks about the importance of dreaming—something that many of us lose touch with as we take on more responsibilities in life. Whether it's becoming a parent, managing a team, or growing your business, these responsibilities can sometimes overshadow our dreams. However, dreaming big is crucial for your success.
For your Young Living business, start by revisiting the dreams that first inspired you. Why did you join Young Living? What were your goals? Maybe it was financial freedom, helping others achieve wellness, or creating a legacy for your family. Allow yourself to dream big again, and don’t be afraid to adjust those dreams as you grow.
2. Establish Clear Outcomes
Once you've reconnected with your dreams, it’s time to get specific. Graham suggests envisioning where you want to be in three years. This time frame is long enough to achieve significant progress but close enough to be tangible.
Ask yourself: If someone were to ask you three years from now how your business has been, what would you want to say? Maybe you’d talk about how you’ve expanded your team, increased your monthly income, or helped hundreds of people achieve better health with Young Living products. Whatever it is, write it down and make it your guiding star.
3. Break Negative Patterns
Every entrepreneur faces negative thoughts and patterns that hold them back. Whether it’s fear of failure, self-doubt, or the pressure to conform to what others are doing, these can be major roadblocks in your business.
Graham emphasizes the need to identify these negative thoughts and actively work to break them. For your Young Living business, this might mean letting go of the idea that you need to do things a certain way just because others do. Instead, focus on what aligns with your values and your unique vision.
4. Engage in New, Rebellious Thoughts
It’s not enough to break negative patterns; you also need to replace them with empowering, rebellious new thoughts. This might mean trying new marketing strategies, setting bold goals, or stepping out of your comfort zone in how you connect with potential customers and team members.
For example, if you’ve been hesitant to use social media because you feel it’s too saturated, challenge that thought. Engage in new, creative ways to reach your audience—perhaps through video content, personalized messages, or by sharing your authentic story in a way that resonates deeply with others.
5. Let Go of Others’ Expectations
Finally, Graham reminds us of the importance of letting go—particularly of other people's expectations. In the world of network marketing, it’s easy to feel pressure to hit certain ranks, use specific scripts, or follow a prescribed path. However, true success often comes when you embrace your uniqueness and follow your intuition.
Let go of the need to conform and instead focus on what makes you and your business unique. Perhaps your strength lies in building deep, one-on-one relationships with customers, or maybe you excel at creating engaging content that educates and inspires others. Whatever it is, lean into it and let go of the rest.
Inspiring Others Through Your Transformation
As you embrace these rebellious principles in your Young Living business, remember that your transformation isn’t just about you. It’s about the ripple effect it can create in your community, your team, and your family. When you step into your true self and operate from a place of authenticity and courage, you not only build a thriving business—you also inspire others to do the same.
So, ask yourself: Who do you need to become a rebel for? How will your transformation positively impact those around you? As Graham said, the full, real you has the power to not only achieve your dreams but also to inspire others to find themselves along the way.
Ready to embrace your inner rebel and take your Young Living business to the next level? Start today by reconnecting with your dreams, setting clear outcomes, breaking negative patterns, and letting go of the expectations that don’t serve you. The journey might be challenging, but the freedom and success that come from living authentically are worth it.
