In this powerful episode, we dive into the first pillar of the Proverbs 31 lifestyle - productivity. Building on last week's foundation of glorifying God, we explore what it truly means to live a life characterized by producing rather than consuming. Through a detailed study of Proverbs 31:11-27, we uncover how this ancient wisdom applies perfectly to our modern lives.

In this vulnerable and foundational episode of the LeadHerShip podcast, Brittney Howard opens up about her journey from being a "fangirl" of the Proverbs 31 woman to understanding and living out biblical womanhood in modern life. She addresses the core foundation of what it means to be a Proverbs 31 woman while sharing her personal struggles with impostor syndrome and spiritual growth.

Key Points from the Episode:

Understanding the Foundation

- The fear of the Lord as the cornerstone of biblical womanhood

- Differentiating between fear as terror and fear as reverence

- How the fear of the Lord impacts every area of life and decision-making

Personal Transparency

- Brittney's honest confession about feeling more like the woman from Luke 7 than the Proverbs 31 woman

- Wrestling with impostor syndrome while answering God's call

- The importance of moving forward despite feelings of inadequacy

Biblical Understanding

- The difference between striving for acceptance and responding to God's love

- How good works flow from salvation rather than earning it

- The practical application of biblical principles in daily life

The Result of a God-Centered Life

- Understanding true praise-worthiness as a result, not a goal

- The difference between seeking human approval and godly obedience

- How living for God's glory naturally leads to fruit in our lives

Reflection Questions:

1. Is the fear of the Lord a motivating force in your daily decisions, or do you find yourself more driven by others' opinions?

2. In what area of your life do you most need to shift from seeking people's praise to seeking God's glory?

3. How would your decisions change if the fear of the Lord was truly your foundation?

You ever wonder what your kids will think about your network marketing business when they grow up? I always do 😂

One of the things I LOVE about network marketing is the opportunity to earn incredible experiences and trips!! We just got back from dreamy Maui, Hawaii! We were there for 10 days, and although I had only earned this trip for myself and guest, I actually brought SEVEN guests with me this time-my husband, and almost all of our kids, including my oldest son Noah and his wife. 💕💕

He watched me build my business from the beginning when he was 11 years old, and right after he moved out at 18 years old, I FINALLY hit the top rank of the company.

So he saw me work my business while juggling homeschooling, nursing babies, changing diapers, cooking all the meals, managing all the finances, and all the work of managing a household while my husband worked a full time job.

Noah saw me endure some hard things and keep going anyway. He describes how extended family members mocked me openly. Looking back on the whole thing, I never would've known how that impacted him but MAN!!!! It makes me so glad that I didn't let it stop me or use that as a reason to quit...because I almost did. What effect would that have had on my son?!

So I thought you might enjoy hearing the perspective of a son who grew up with a mother that was building a successful network marketing business and was trying to do a lot of things well. I asked him things like:

🤔 Did you think I was weird?

🤔 Did it bother you that I transitioned from homeschooling mom to work from home mom?

Some of his answers really surprised me! So interesting how differently kids see things than moms do 😃 We also just chatted about what makes people successful in life. I loved the whole thing.

Hopefully you will too. 🤍 And if you listen, let me know your thoughts!

Today we are talking about a non-negotiable quality for someone who has BIG goals...DETERMINATION.

The definition of "determined" is decided, settled, resolved.

When we goals that are outside of our current skillset, there's a whole lot of figuring out of things that has to happen to get from where we are now to where we want to go!

And we can't wait around for someone to hand it to us, we have to take ownership and go get it!!

Along the way, there will be setbacks. The setbacks cause frustration, and how we respond to our frustration is what will determine how far we go.

For the successful people, frustration actually drives CHANGE. For the unsuccessful, it causes them to quit. So many people allow discouragement to rob them of their dreams, because they don't see adversity as part of the process that is shaping them into the type of person who can handle the amount of success we desire!!

Most of the time our discouragement is not rooted in reality, its rooted in our unrealistic expectation of what reality should be. And most of the time that unrealistic expectation is rooted in comparison!

Comparison is the thief of joy, and comparison keeps people stuck!! The truth is, no matter how successful a person is, they all hit a wall at some point!! Every single person who has ever set a goal and worked hard to achieve it has gotten to a point where they feel frustrated because what they are doing doesn't seem to be working!

How you respond to your frustration will determine your trajectory, and this episode will walk you through how to overcome your frustration, lack of results, make change happen, develop yourself and your skills, AND how to become CONFIDENT!

This episode is perfect timing right before our company convention! 😍 Let me know what you think!

Today is a candid conversation with Melanie Mitro, who has built TWO 7 figure businesses, one in network marketing and one with her company that she started—Chic Influencer! The first thing we talk about today is the fact that she has over 35 LEVEL ONES who are 6 figure earners!! 35!!! That is mind blowing!! And that speaks the quality and scalability of her systems!! When we talk about scaling, we mean being able to bring on AS MANY new customers and business builders as possible, and helping them find success with solid systems vs helping so many people one-on-one. Here are some of the other questions I asked her that you will get to hear the answer to today: ✨How did you create systems that scale? ✨How do you keep up with SO many people and feel confident that you are serving them well? ✨How do you keep people from quitting due to their own mindset obstacles? ✨What are the systems that are needed to support that many business builders well and develop them into strong leaders? ✨What do you think it takes to create momentum? Melanie knows a thing or two about success, and she definitely understands what it takes to be successful in network marketing. I have learned SO much from working with Melanie, and you are going to love learning from her today too! Connect with Melanie on IG: @melaniemitro
