Episode Highlights 
More Money More Problems 
Amanda grew up with the mindset that more money meant more problems. At the time, she wanted a simple and joyous life. 
Amanda’s story around money and success shifted when she became a mother.   
She knew she was meant for more and wanted to create a big and bright future for her daughters. 
From Beauty School to Network Marketing 
Amanda went to beauty school right out of high school in order to earn money to pay for college on her own. 
As a hairstylist, she grew her business and marketing skills when network marketing fell in her lap. 
Working as a hairstylist was taking a toll on her health and she saw network marketing as a greater opportunity and a healthy choice.  
In network marketing, Amanda learned loads of skills and knowledge that continues to open doors for her as an entrepreneur. She learned how to create a community, nurture it, bring it value, and, of course, be consistent.

The Social Media Queen 
Amanda's social media presence and content is gorgeous and she admits that she feels like she’s just trying to keep up with everyone else.    
Her biggest tip is to get good at repurposing your content.   
“Don’t get overwhelmed--just post, it doesn’t have to be perfect.  The most important part is the value you’re offering.” 
Daily Method of Operation (DMO) 
Create a live, reel, and post each day.

Reach out to 10 of my followers a day. 
Weekly email to her email list. 
Film a new YouTube video once a week, even though she posts bi-weekly, it’s good to have some ready to go. 
Early Struggles and Recent Victories 
Time management was a struggle early on.   
Amanda’s solution was making her business a priority by creating boundaries around dropping everything to help people that didn’t value her time or sacrifice. 
As a result, she is creating amazing content and products, and watching her business grow!
