This was the beginning of really building my business…
My upline had to show up to basically everything I did because I had NO idea what I was doing 😂
She would help answer questions, talk on presentations with me, and guide me through conversations because I was still learning everything myself.
I wasn’t confident.I wasn’t polished.I definitely wasn’t “good on camera.”
Half the time I was reading from scripts or checking the back of product bags because I couldn’t remember ingredients yet 😅
And now people say to me,“Melinda, I could never show up online like you do.”
But here’s the thing…
You’re not supposed to show up like me.You’re supposed to show up like YOU.
And you definitely are not supposed to compare your day 1 to my year 10.
Confidence is built.Communication is built.Leadership is built.
None of this started naturally for me.
What changed everything was consistency. Showing up before I felt ready. Getting uncomfortable over and over again until it became normal.
And honestly?Your beginning is probably MORE relatable to people than where I am now.
People connect to authenticity far more than perfection.
Leadership is being willing to show up messy while you figure it out.
So if you’ve been holding yourself back because you think you can’t “do it like someone else”… good.
Don’t do it like someone else.
Do it like YOU.
