From Skeptic to Six Figures: How I Almost Missed the Business That Changed My Life

Genevieve Skory — Wed, 20 May 2026 17:46:53 +0000

What happens when a successful corporate woman — six-figure income, Fortune 500 clients, boutique training company — ends up hospitalized for 10 days with a newborn at home, and realizes she's more worried about not being billable than about her own health?

That's where Genevieve Skory's story begins.

In this episode, Gen shares the origin story she's never told in full.

Topics covered:

Why high-achieving women hit the "is it worth it?" wall
The real reason Gen's six-figure business wasn't working
What she saw at that training event that changed everything
The math that made her finally take network marketing seriously
How she went from skeptic to top-level earner — and what she teaches now

Why You're Losing Business Builders Before They Ever Say Yes

Genevieve Skory — Wed, 06 May 2026 15:15:51 +0000

If you've ever wondered why people watch everything you do and still never join your team, this episode is going to hit different.

Genevieve breaks down the two biggest mistakes network marketers make when trying to attract business builders, and neither one is about posting more or working harder.

You'll find out why the people most likely to join your team aren't the ones engaging with your content — and what they're quietly deciding every time they see you show up. You'll also find out why the most duplicatable thing you can do has nothing to do with your script, your system, or your upline's strategy.

If you're tired of getting people started only to have them ghost you 30 days later, there's a reason for that too — and it's fixable.

This is the conversation most people in network marketing never had, and it's the one that changes everything.

Sugar, Fiber, and Grit: What This CEO Wants You to Know About Your Health

Genevieve Skory — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 20:59:10 +0000

What does it take to build something from nothing when no one believed in you from the start?

Audrey Sommerfeld — CEO and founder of Jump2Health — grew up in a town of 200 people, was the first in her family to go to college, and was told women didn't need to. She was born with physical challenges, spent years in braces, and faced one of the lowest moments a person can face. She got back up.

In this episode, Audrey shares what actually fueled her — and what she's learned after decades in corporate nutrition, pharma, and now running her own health company — about what most of us are getting wrong with our health every single day.

In this episode:

Why sugar is your number one health enemy — and how much you're eating without knowing it
The fiber gap most Americans don't know they have (and what to do about it)
Why supplements can help, but can't save you from a bad diet
The three things Audrey says separate successful entrepreneurs from everyone else
Her philosophy on hearing "no" — and why it almost never means what you think

Audrey's mission is simple: help people reclaim their health through education, real ingredients, and small sustainable steps.

The Conversation You're Not Having (And Why Your Best Builders Keep Leaving)

Genevieve Skory — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 21:29:56 +0000

Your best business builder is still showing up on the calls. Still answering your texts. But they've stopped initiating. They rah-rah in the group chat but don't do anything with it. And then one day, seemingly out of nowhere, you get the message: "I just don't think this is right for me anymore."

It wasn't out of nowhere. It was the ending of a conversation you never had.

In this episode, Genevieve breaks down why retention is never a motivation problem — it's always a communication problem. And more specifically, it's one conversation most leaders have never been told they need to have.

You'll learn:

The exact behavioral signals that show up before a builder goes quiet for good
Why even great leaders accidentally create environments where struggle feels like failure
The three-part Honest Check-In framework — including the specific questions to ask, when to stop talking, and how to handle it when the conversation gets hard

This framework works whether you're leading a network marketing team, a commission-based sales floor, or an affiliate program. The psychology is universal and the fix is the same everywhere.

The free written framework — every question, the exact language, and how to handle the hard answers — is linked below.

The Weekly Practice That Builds Real Sales Confidence

Genevieve Skory — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 21:01:34 +0000

Most salespeople are working harder than they need to — not because they lack the right tactics, but because they've never been taught to reset their identity week after week. In this episode, Genvieve walks you through a simple 10-minute Monday ritual. Four questions that clear out what's weighing you down and set you up to show up grounded, intentional, and confident all week long. No scripts. No hacks. Just the one practice that changes everything underneath the tactics.

From Trunk Sales to 6,000 Stores: What Serial Entrepreneurs Know About Starting Again — with Susie Miller

Genevieve Skory — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 22:11:19 +0000

Susie Miller went from selling cookies out of the trunk of her car to landing in over 6,000 stores nationwide — then watched someone else run her company into the ground. In this episode, Genevieve sits down with her longtime friend and fellow entrepreneur to talk about what it actually takes to keep going after something you built falls apart.

They cover the real grief of selling a business, why alignment with a partner is non-negotiable, and why "starting over" is the wrong frame entirely. If you're in a season of reinvention — or you know one is coming — this one's for you.

What comes up:

Building Among Friends Baking Mixes from trunk sales to Costco and Publix
What grief looks like when you sell a company you birthed
Why scrappy beats polished almost every time
How to build a life that makes room for all of who you are

Stop Calling It Rejection. Here's What's Actually Happening.

Genevieve Skory — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 20:30:56 +0000

Every sales conversation you've been avoiding? It's not rejection you're scared of. It's something else entirely — and once you can name it, it loses most of its power.

In this episode, Genevieve breaks down the real mindset shift that separates leaders who show up consistently from those who stay stuck in their own heads. If you've ever talked yourself out of a conversation before you even started, this one's for you.

What we get into:

*Why the story you're telling yourself after a "no" is costing you more than the no itself

*The energy difference between wanting the sale and needing the sale

*How to show up in any sales conversation like someone who already won

Fix This. Grow Fast. is the podcast for women in network marketing and direct sales who are done with generic advice and ready to lead.

(00:00:00) - How to Approach People as If You Are Already Successful

You're Not Being Authentic. You're Being Passive. Here's the Difference

Genevieve Skory — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 21:02:47 +0000

I can’t believe I’m saying this… but there’s ONE thing bro marketers get right that women in sales need to adopt immediately: lead the conversation.

If you’re always reacting—avoiding discomfort, saying “no pressure,” offering discounts, or letting prospects drift—you’re not being “nice.” You’re leaking sales out of your funnel and losing authority without realizing it.

In this episode, Genevieve breaks down:

Why leading = value (and reacting = lost trust)
How “no pressure” becomes passivity (and kills conversions)
What to say when someone asks for a discount or says “I need to think about it”
Why prospects actually expect you to guide them
The doctor analogy that will change how you see sales leadership
How to audit your last 5 sales conversations and spot where you gave up control

If you want consistent sales without hype, pressure, or pushiness—this is your next skill.

The Leadership Philosophy That Kept Her Business Growing for 25 Years

Genevieve Skory — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 21:03:24 +0000

Do successful people ask themselves different questions? Are they more disciplined… or do they simply operate from a different kind of intention?

This week Genevieve Skory welcomes Nancy Bogart, CEO and founder of Jordan Essentials, for a grounded conversation about what long-term success actually looks like in direct sales.

Nancy shares her origin story: leaving her career to care for a son born with a severe birth defect, becoming a stay-at-home mom to three boys, and then inventing a lotion bar that unexpectedly took off at craft fairs in 1999. After selling out repeatedly and seeing others ask to help make and sell the product, she and her husband incorporated the business in 2000 — and 25 years later, the company continues to grow.

You’ll hear how Nancy thinks about boldness (including borrowing it from her mom), why desperation doesn’t create sustainable results, and how intention becomes a “line in the sand” that helps leaders stay above the noise. They also dive into personal inventory, values, uniqueness in leadership, and what to do when a company hits a downturn — including the importance of transparency, integrity, and staying long enough to actually learn the lesson.

Nancy also shares practical insights on relationships, leadership development, protecting your circle, and why “it always works out” is more than a catchphrase — it’s a mindset practice your brain listens to.

If you’ve been feeling stalled, doubting your next move, or wondering how real leaders stay steady through hard seasons, this episode will land.

The Brutal Truth: You Might Not Be Coachable (Yet)

Genevieve Skory — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 19:08:09 +0000

Genevieve uses the Olympics as a powerful business metaphor to call out a common trap: confusing busyness with progress.

Olympians spend years training in silence—repetition without applause—for one performance. They don’t hire coaches to keep them “busy.” They train to win, practice the hard parts, and measure results. Genevieve argues that many entrepreneurs do the opposite: they stay endlessly busy doing what they’re already comfortable with, avoid the numbers, avoid standards, and then wonder why results feel irregular.

This episode breaks down:

Why busyness can be avoidance in disguise
How “familiar strengths” protect your routines—and stop growth
What real coaching is (correction, standards, feedback) vs what it isn’t (babysitting, cheerleading, feel-good validation)
The difference between loyalty to effort vs loyalty to outcomes
Why standards reduce activity and increase results
How to tell if you’re coachable—and why coachability is the door to mastery

If you’re tired of working hard without the results to show for it, this episode will help you shift from “busy” to “training to win.”

If Sales Isn't Exciting Anymore...Watch This

Genevieve Skory — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 20:23:27 +0000

In this episode, Genevieve shares the number one thing people tell her after speaking engagements: “We used to do that.” The frustrating part? They’re usually talking about the exact behaviors that created growth in the first place.

So why do people stop doing what works? Genevieve says it’s often not a strategy issue—it’s boredom.

She walks through the early “organized chaos” phase of business where adrenaline, excitement, and emotional highs drive momentum. The problem is that this teaches your nervous system to mislabel confidence as a feeling you need to chase. When your business matures and systems start working, growth can feel calm—and calm can feel “wrong” if you’re addicted to urgency.

Genevieve reframes boredom as a sign of progress: when it feels quiet and things are working, that’s the point. This episode is a call to stop manufacturing drama, stop offer-hopping, and stop chasing stimulation. Instead, lean into calm confidence, emotional regulation, and leadership presence—the skills that create sustainable sales and consistent growth.

If you’re in the “boring but working” phase, this doesn’t need fixing. It needs trust.

This Wasn’t the Plan… But It Worked

Genevieve Skory — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 23:35:36 +0000

Genevieve welcomes her first-ever podcast guest, career and life coach Rikki Schwartz, for a real conversation about resilience, reinvention, and values-based career decisions.

Rikki shares her “hero’s journey” from pursuing a “safe” path (physical therapy) to realizing—painfully—that it wasn’t aligned… and walking away even though she was nearly finished. She eventually built a high-level corporate career (Ford → Waste Management), rising to Vice President, leading large teams and revenue… until one day she was laid off after 17 years.

From there, Rikki discovered career coaching, the power of structure and “homework,” and eventually launched her own practice: My Turn Life Coaching—helping people move through denial, grief, fear, and identity loss so they can rebuild with clarity.

This episode is for anyone who:

feels stuck in a “secure” path that’s draining them
was laid off or sidelined and is questioning their value
is considering entrepreneurship but wants the real truth
needs a framework to reconnect with their strengths and values

“It Must Be Me” — How to Stop Self-Blame When Business Slows Down

Genevieve Skory — Tue, 13 Jan 2026 14:12:36 +0000

What if you’re not behind… you’re simply at the exact stage of business growth where tactics stop working and leadership must take over?

In this episode, Genevieve speaks to high performers who feel stuck, pressured, or oddly “pushy” in their business — and who immediately assume it must be them. She reframes that spiral with a simple truth: the discomfort you feel is feedback, not criticism. It’s information. And it’s often a sign you’re being called to evolve into a bigger role.

Using a powerful “flat tire” analogy, Genevieve explains how we would never blame ourselves for a normal obstacle in driving — yet we blame ourselves relentlessly when business hits a predictable growth stage. The problem isn’t that you need a new script, new offer, or a total rebrand. The problem is that you’ve outgrown the version of you that your current tactics were built to protect.

This is a sales identity and leadership conversation: visibility, confidence, alignment, and learning to own your expertise without shrinking. You’ll also hear why following “strugglers” (people who refuse to evolve) keeps you stuck — and how to choose growth instead.

If you’re at a fork in the road — back to “back in the day” or forward into a future you design — this episode will help you exhale, reset, and step into Calm Confidence.

The One Thing You Need to Know to Stop Hustling and Build a Sustainable Business in 2026

Genevieve Skory — Tue, 06 Jan 2026 18:50:51 +0000

If your business feels heavy, exhausting, or like you’re “performing” again… you don’t need a new plan. You need a reset with meaning.

In this CEO-to-CEO episode, Genevieve shares what she keeps hearing from smart, capable women: self-doubt, self-blame, and a quiet disconnect from the work they used to love. And she explains why no pricing change, new offer, or “better strategy” can save a business when meaning has gone missing—because strategy only amplifies what already exists underneath.

You’ll hear why success isn’t just a higher title or bigger check, but a deeper level of understanding and purpose. Why selling (including weight loss) works best when it’s rooted in impact—not transactions. And why the leaders who last don’t rely on pressure or urgency; they sell through conviction.

At the end, Genevieve gives you a simple 15-minute practice (no phone, no scrolling) and three questions that help restore meaning, rebuild confidence, and create grounded leadership for 2026.

If this resonates, subscribe, leave a review, and share the episode. We’re saying no to hustling in 2026—and yes to calm confidence.

Selling Weight Loss in 2026: What Actually Works Now

Genevieve Skory — Mon, 29 Dec 2025 05:21:26 +0000

In this episode, Genevieve shows weight loss coaches, gyms, and health pros how to replace vague “lose weight” messaging with clear, specific language that actually converts. She breaks down the four stages of the weight loss journey—starting, already on a program (including GLP-1s), plateau, and maintenance—and explains how to speak to each stage differently so clients feel seen instead of sold to. If your weight loss content is blending into the noise and you want more aligned customers without shame-based tactics, this episode gives you a simple, powerful messaging framework.

The Real Difference Between Uber-Successful Leaders and Roller-Coaster Earners

Genevieve Skory — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 19:24:01 +0000

In this episode, Genevieve continues her Intention Series by showing how true intention (defined as a decision with direction and commitment) separates roller-coaster results from calm, consistent growth. She walks through a three-step framework—identity, direction, boundaries—to help you decide who you are in business, what you are building, who it is for, and what you refuse to sacrifice for growth. If you’ve been “seeing what happens” in your business and secretly fearing 2026 will look just like 2025, this conversation will help you draw a line in the sand and start operating above the line of intention.

Genevieve Skory — Mon, 15 Dec 2025 23:51:17 +0000

In this episode, Genevieve kicks off her Intention Over Hustle series with a deep dive into the power of clear intention in business. She explains why so many women feel burned out, misaligned, and confused about what to sell or post—not because they are lazy, but because they are hustling without intention. You’ll learn the difference between goals and intention, how specific decisions activate your brain to filter out distractions, and why shifting from side-hustle energy to true CEO intention is essential for building aligned, sustainable, legacy-level income in 2026.

2026 Planning Without Burnout: The Calm-Confidence Strategy

Genevieve Skory — Mon, 08 Dec 2025 22:32:22 +0000

Plan 2026 without burnout. This episode lays out a calm-confidence playbook built for sustainable growth—not frantic hustle. You’ll learn four practical shifts:

(1) choose slower, clearer decisions for cleaner strategies and better boundaries;

(2) put nervous-system safety before strategy using breath resets, five-minute buffers, end-of-day closure rituals, and daily win tracking;

(3) practice emotional minimalism so you can observe and respond without adopting every problem; and

(4) work a calm-productivity cadence: Vision/Planning Monday, Deep Work Tuesday to Thursday, Admin/Prep Friday, with a real lunch break and digital quiet hours.

Calm isn’t passive; it’s power, leadership, and the foundation of repeatable growth.

2026 Calm Planning | Don't Start Without Watching This

Genevieve Skory — Tue, 02 Dec 2025 02:45:22 +0000

This follow-up to last week’s planning episode turns 2026 from “hope” to “do.” Genevieve shares three shifts to build a plan you’ll actually follow:

• Struggle vs Growth: Struggle drains time/energy and often reverses revenue; growth is uncomfortable but measurable.

• Ditch Comparison/Scarcity: Your unique Sales DNA is the advantage—align strategies to who you are.

• Identity Pit Stop: Regularly check tread wear (mindset, confidence, fear). Sharpen who you’re being to change what you’re doing.

Four Steps for a Calm, Confident 2026 Plan

Genevieve Skory — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 18:50:43 +0000

This episode is your calm-confidence blueprint for 2026. Instead of chasing speed or moving the goalposts, Genevieve shares four practical steps—rooted in an ultramarathoner’s mindset—to plan sustainably and sell with certainty.

You’ll learn:

Reframe winning: Trade vague or far-off goals for daily, controllable wins (e.g., “3–5 meaningful conversations”).
Upgrade yourself: Expand capacity (skills, support, steady pace) rather than shrinking your dreams.
Success by subtraction: Offload outdated strategies, guilt, and ego to make room for what works.
Re-evaluate your why (quarterly): Avoid adopting other people’s values; reconnect to what truly matters.

Quote to remember

“Judgment shuts everything down. Appreciation creates action.”

Four Steps to Master Customer Connection

Genevieve Skory — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 22:59:04 +0000

Genevieve shares the infamous “talking to the trash can” story to illustrate how connection—not tactics—wins in a low-trust, high-noise world. Then she breaks down four practical steps any seller can use today.

What you’ll learn

Pay attention: Single-task your conversations; know your lines before you need them.
Lead with a relatable story: Aim at a real problem and self-limiting belief (problem → guide → plan → change).
Be honest, not impressive: “Credibility lands best inside real human moments.”
Close with conviction: Make a clear, caring invitation—and follow through.

5 Modern Sales Shifts to Replace Outdated Advice (and Actually Convert)

Genevieve Skory — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 19:13:02 +0000

You’re not bad at sales—you’re following outdated rules. In this episode, Genevieve contrasts two real restaurant experiences to show why energy, presence, and connection beat tactics every time, then walks through five practical moves for modern, savvy sellers.

See the person, not the purchase (start with appreciation and recognition)
Ask intent-revealing questions (lead to clarity, not pressure)
Match their pace and raise your energy (create certainty, don’t perform)

Follow through with care (loyalty, referrals, and long-term revenue)

Quote to remember:

“Enthusiasm isn’t a bonus—it’s the new baseline.”

How to Recover from Being a Bad Sales Person

Genevieve Skory — Tue, 05 Aug 2025 00:25:16 +0000

It's 3:00 a.m. You're wide awake, spiraling in the silence. You're scrolling job boards. "Was I wrong to leave my job for this? Am I even cut out for this? Am I… a bad mom?"

You're not alone. And no, you’re not a bad mom, and you're definitely not a bad salesperson. You're just missing a few critical clues. This episode is your raw, honest, late-night coaching call on what to do when the dream you built starts to feel like it’s held together with duct tape and doubt.

This podcast is your late-night lifeline and mid-morning momentum boost. I'm a former C-suite exec of a $350M brand turned entrepreneurial sales mentor, my Savvy Selling Method is here to help you trade desperation for direction—and duct tape for a real framework. If you're a burnt-out business owner, emotionally exhausted side hustler, or purpose-driven mom navigating the messiness of motherhood and marketing, you're not alone. And you're not a bad salesperson.

Inside this episode, I will share:

How to reframe failure as unprocessed feedback
The 3 hidden reasons you keep missing sales: identity, skill, or courage
What to say (and feel) when you're scared to sell, scared to close, or scared to even try
The “Blue’s Clues” reframe that turns awkward silences and ghosted DMs into growth moments
Why desperation energy kills sales, and how to replace it with confident leadership

This isn't about scripts. It's about showing up in alignment and learning to lead conversations without self-doubt screaming in your ear.

Lead with clarity, not persuasion

The Hustle Hangover Fix

Genevieve Skory — Mon, 21 Jul 2025 16:40:36 +0000

Hustle Hangover Recovery: Recalibrate Your Business Without Burning It All Down

You’re not lazy. You’re not flaky. You’re not “falling behind.”
You’re likely in a hustle hangover—and it’s time to recalibrate, not reinvent.

In this episode, Genevieve Skory gets real about what it feels like to build a business that’s busy but not aligned. If you’re constantly overwhelmed, always chasing momentum, and missing the summer you promised yourself, this is your official permission slip to pause, reset, and rebuild with intention.

Inside, you’ll learn how to spot the signs of burnout hiding in plain sight, how to realign your business to support your actual life (not some hustle fantasy), and why constant content and convincing energy are killing your clarity.

Whether you're a coach, creator, network marketer, or mompreneur, this episode gives you a powerful framework to shift your strategy and your sanity this summer.

SHOW NOTES

Are you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and still falling behind in your business, even though you're working harder than ever?

You’re not unmotivated. You’re not failing. You’re likely in what I call a hustle hangover, and this episode is your roadmap to recovery.

In this episode, we’re talking about what really happens when you’ve been pushing, performing, and proving for months (or years), and your body—and business—say enough.

You’ll learn how to stop building a business that burns you out, and start recalibrating it to support your actual life (not just your highlight reel). Whether you’re running a business as a mom, creator, coach, or network marketer, this episode is your permission to pause, reset, and realign your goals with your values.

Topics Covered:

What a hustle hangover is and how it silently drains high-achieving women
How burnout hides under “busy” and why you don’t need to do more—you need to do differently
What to do when summer arrives and you feel guilty for resting
Why missing family moments for the sake of your business is a signal, not a sacrifice
The 3-part recalibration method: anchor, simplify, and realign
High-trust visibility vs. content overload
The power of clean offers without convincing energy
Intentional follow-up that feels like service, not pressure

The Recalibration Framework:

Anchor Before You Act. Ask: Am I doing this from alignment or anxiety?
Simplify What Moves the Needle. Stop the Frankenstein strategy. Focus on trust-building content, lead generation, and clean conversion.
Realign with Your Real Life. Your business should support the life you’re actually living, not the one hustle culture told you to build
