Ep. #256: Manifesting and Network Marketing
Content
Listen to this episode here:
Kimberly's Future Self led her to 3 network marketing companies. The third one happened so inspired it left her thinking, "What did I just do?"
These were all inspired, and they taught, and are still teaching, her how to sift through inspiration, and how to really stay true to the Law of Attraction foundation she has built while doing what was inspired.
Network marketing companies often have a "system" you are supposed to follow to be successful. And that system is usually based more on pushing than leveraging the Law of Attraction.
After being inspired to join the third network marketing company, Kimberly had to navigate how to stay out of the push and in inspired action.

28:40: Kimberly talks about how she realized that if she wanted the prizes, she could invest her own money in it, and the value would have been higher.
29:00: Kimberly talks about how the most incredible thing she has gotten out of this experience is confidence and that that is a step to her Future Self.
29:23: Kimberly talks about how she was confident enough to go to her director and say that she wasn't inspired to chase or push for sales and that she wants it to be organic. Therefore, she will not do what she was being taught to do and admits that owning that was new for her.

31:27: Cassie talks about how Kimberly felt that she was rebellious and how that story made it seem like she didn't fit in and it wasn't going to work.

32:05: Because Kimberly had an ah-ha, Cassie asks her how realizing that she could be her and be supported will change her story moving forward.
32:32: Kimberly says she doesn't know, but she has tingles and that it is magical.
32:45: Cassie talks about how it will be different, that the shift is something she can feel, that that is how stories shift, and the tingle is Kimberly letting go of the old and stepping into the new.

36:18: Kimberly also advises to meet the other people involved in the MLM.
