    Rachel Perry tackles one of the biggest confidence killers in network marketing: the comparison trap. She shares personal experiences and reveals why comparison hits differently in direct sales, plus gives you a practical 5-step plan to break free and build unshakeable confidence.

    In this episode you'll discover:

    Why comparison is so brutal in network marketing - from public rankings to social media highlight reels, Rachel explains the unique challenges direct sellers face that other industries don't.

    The hidden costs stealing your success - including lost momentum, strategy hopping, desperate energy, and playing small.

    Rachel's 5-step "Comparison Detox" plan - practical steps you can take this week to protect your mental space and refocus on your own journey.

    Powerful mindset shifts that transform comparison from a confidence killer into fuel for growth.

    An identity check to help you separate your worth from your business results.

    Key Strategies Rachel Shares:

    The Social Media Audit: How to identify and handle content that triggers comparison

    Creating Your Own Success Metrics: Moving beyond company rankings to measure what matters

    Mental Reframes: Specific language swaps to shift from scarcity to abundance thinking

    The Authenticity Factor: Why showing up real gives others permission to do the same

    This Week's Challenge:

    1. Pick one person whose success usually triggers your comparison spiral
    2. Don't unfollow them, but you can mute/hide their posts from your feed
    3. Genuinely celebrate their next win - comment encouragingly or send a supportive message
    4. Practice the scarcity-to-abundance shift in real-time

    Key Takeaways

    • Comparison is especially brutal in network marketing because success feels public
    • You're comparing your behind-the-scenes reality to others' highlight reels
    • Everyone has different timelines, resources, and circumstances
    • Authenticity gives others permission to be real too
    • Your journey and timeline are uniquely yours - stop apologizing for not being further along

  • Direct Sales Propaganda I’m No Longer Falling For
    2025/06/03

    Send us a text

    In this episode, Rachel gets real about the outdated (and straight-up toxic) beliefs still floating around the direct sales industry. From team building myths to hustle culture, she’s calling out the nonsense that’s keeping leaders stuck—and sharing what actually leads to growth in 2025. If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting more or wondered if you’re allowed to build something outside your company, this one’s for you.

    Key Points Covered:

    • Why team building is not the only way to grow your income.
      Rachel shares her experience of earning more from a $19 product than from her entire team and sales combined.
    • The myth that wanting more makes you greedy or ungrateful.
      Growth ≠ betrayal. Wanting more is a sign of vision, not disloyalty.
    • How building something of your own doesn’t make you a traitor.
      Loyalty to yourself ≠ disloyalty to your company. You can support your team and your future.
    • Why hustle culture is toxic—and what to focus on instead.
      Burnout isn’t a badge of honor. Strategy, peace of mind, and aligned work matter more than overworking.
    • When 'stick with it' is actually harmful advice.
      Sometimes it’s time to pivot—and that doesn’t mean you’re a quitter.
    • The truth about corporate loyalty (it’s not what you think).
      At the end of the day, your company is loyal to its bottom line. Protect your own future.
    • Why team drama doesn’t equal leadership.
      Real leadership starts with leading yourself first—not being the emotional support human for your entire downline.

    Call to Action:
    If you're ready to stop falling for the lies and start building something of your own, Rachel has 2 VIP Day spots open this summer to help you create and launch your digital product. DM her the word VIP on Instagram @rachelaperry or email her at rachel@rachelaperry.com to snag a spot.

    2025/05/27

    Send us a text

    Episode Introduction:
    Ever feel like you’re doing all the right things in your direct sales business but still hitting a wall? You’re not alone. In this raw and real episode, Rachel shares a powerful revelation she had during a recent coaching session—she’s been unintentionally shrinking herself. And chances are, you might be doing the same.

    Key Points Covered:

    • The sneaky ways high-achievers shrink themselves without realizing it
    • Why being “likable” might be limiting your growth and income
    • How people-pleasing and needing approval can silently sabotage your success
    • Subtle signs you're filtering your personality—especially on social media
    • Real talk: Being “too much” is exactly what your audience needs
    • Rachel’s challenge: 7 days of unhinged YOU (and what that could look like)
    • Why you don’t need permission to evolve, do things differently, or lead boldly
    • How softening your edges to make others comfortable keeps you stuck
    • Why your next chapter requires a different version of you—and how to find her
    • Encouragement to stop downplaying your bold opinions, wins, or desires

    Closing Reminder:
    You don’t have to shrink to be safe. You don’t have to fit into someone else’s version of success. You were meant to stand out. Let’s get unhinged. Let’s be fully YOU. And when you do? Tag Rachel on Instagram @rachelaperry so she can cheer you on.

  • Why Network Marketing Might Just Be Your Starting Point (Not Your End Game)
    2025/05/20

    Send us a text

    This one’s a heart-to-heart. If you've ever felt like you're meant for more, but you're scared of stepping outside your network marketing biz, this episode is for you. Rachel shares why network marketing was a brilliant first step—but not your final destination. It’s time to start building the rest of the house.

    🔑 Key Takeaways:

    • Network marketing is a vehicle, not the destination. And if the vehicle breaks down, you need a backup plan.
    • Feeling burnt out, bored, or unfulfilled? That doesn't mean you're ungrateful. It means you're human—and maybe it's time to grow.
    • Building something of your own doesn't mean you're abandoning your team. It means you're expanding.
    • Your brand is your staying power. You don’t own the products or comp plan, but you do own your brand.
    • Creating a digital product isn’t about leaving—it’s about protecting what you’ve built. Rachel walks you through how to start small and build something powerful on the side.
    • You are more marketable than you think. And the skills you’ve gained in direct sales? They make you wildly valuable.
