Hey there friends! Thanks so much for stopping by, I’m Michelle Castro, the host of the Consider Jesus Podcast. I’ve gone back and forth on what to share here and how to prepare you for what’s to come. I’m a bottom line kinda girl and the nuts and bolts of it is…I want to encourage you to CONSIDER JESUS in all you do, but I also want to do that while having REAL, RAW, and HONEST conversations about those things we, as Christians, just don’t seem to talk about. Things like grief, sex, loss, marriage, parenting, mental health, friendships, and so much more! Through the ups and downs of my own personal story I’ve kinda become the one who tends to rip the bandaid off and say the hard things. Not because it comes naturally…nope, I’d really prefer to keep my dirt hidden, but because, the Lord has so kindly shown me that I am NOT THE ONLY ONE walking these different roads! I know you have a lot on your plate…whether it’s being a wife, mama, working, all of these, some of these, or completely different things…I want this place to be a space of comfort and encouragement! hebrews 3:1 says “Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, Webster’s dictionary defines “consider” like this: “to gaze on steadily or reflectively” I LOVE that! I want to gaze steadily upon Jesus. I want to REFLECT Him in all I do…and I’m guessing…you do too! It’s my desire through this podcast to point you to Jesus while sharing real life stuff with you! You’ll hear from me and some pretty incredible guests. I’m not your typical 51 year old…I have fuschia hair, like my free people barrels, I’m just as happy reading a book on the couch as I am with my miter saw in the garage working on some hair-brained DIY project. I love a little coffee with my creamer, sitting around the kitchen table catching up with my family, and I’ll drive just about anywhere if tacos are involved! Thanks for taking a listen…I’ll see ya inside the pod! :)

Social Retail Stories is becoming one of my favorites. I love sharing real life stories from people just like you and me who have either been in the Network Marketing space for years or never before and find something truly different with Social Retail.
Social Retail isn't network marketing by another name, it's a completely different way of doing business. Imagine if Network Marketing and Affiliate Marketing had a baby...that's probably the simplest way to explain it.
Take a listen as Kasey shares her story from never trying network marketing to finding success with customer sales in social retail.

I get it!
They told you their hopes and dreams and you want to help them...you CAN help them...but then... THEY DISAPPEAR.
What do you do?
Do you really just keep going and leave them behind?
The answer may surprise you.
We're talking about STOP TRYING TO REVIVE THE DEAD. I know it can be hard, but it's an important business strategy you understand.
Let's get going and find some more time and PEACE back in your day!
xx,
Michelle

If you want to be among the successful in your business, then you need to be doing what those who are there are doing.
There is ONE thing that every single successful person you admire has in common. It transcends any single industry. I promise you that every person you admire and look up to who is successful at what they do is consistently doing this ONE thing!
Be where the leaders are.
Do what the leaders do.

Let's be honest...there are a LOT of things that we're told to do in the Network Marketing space that are really...well...just not ok!
THIS is one of them!
It may make sense within your business or team, but to the outside world, it's unrelateable. Sure, there's a time and place for it...but there's also a smart way to share.
I know...super vague...but friend...go listen and you'll understand what I'm talking about and I'm guessing...you're going to agree!
If you're here because you want to do things differently, then this is a simple place to start!
Ready...let's go! :)

michelle

Friend!
It's the LAST Tuesday of July and I'm guessing you're feeling the CRUNCH!
#amiright?
We start the month full of hope and excitement and then the 20th (or 26th in this case) rolls around and we either end up like "Give Up Gail" and have lost all hope or we're "Step On It Sally" and ready to put the pedal to the metal!
I don't know where you find yourself, but the reality is if you're here because you want success in your network marketing business, then there are 3 things you MUST be doing in these last few days.
If you're looking for the Network Marketing Success Secrets...then this is the place to be!
Make sure you're also following me on instagram - @itsmemichellecastro
As you listen to today's episode, take a screenshot and share it in your stories - tag your team (and ME)!
And don't forget to message me at the end of the month and tell me how you finished!
xx,
michelle

"The road to success is always under construction"
~Arnold Palmer
There are a few things I know about you.
If you're listening to the Growth Against the Grain podcast then you're ambitious, you like to set goals, you have BIG goals, you love what you do and that's why you're here.
You didn't just join your company because you wanted to get rich...sure that's part of it...but it's so much more. You're looking for success within your network marketing business, but you're also looking around and a little frustrated.
I get that!
I really do.
I'm sharing an observation I made while on vacation with my family. The similarities are uncanny. I promise you...this is the ONLY way you will not have the success you're looking for.
Just keep fishing my friend!
xx,
michelle

HAPPY AUGUST!
It's my birthday month and it just gets me so excited!!!
On top of it all we're talking about the FOUR things you ABSOLUTELY, WITHOUT A DOUBT, NEED to be doing EVERY day in your network marketing business to be successful! These are all things you can do in as little as 45 minutes each day!
*full disclosure - you get to implement these in the way that works FOR YOU!
Someone else may do these differently...that's awesome - ask yourself if that will work for you?
If not, DON'T DO IT that way!
Find the way you can do these things every day with success ... AND DO THEM!
Does that work for you?
I hope so!
Ok...let's get going.

Do you have people on your team who join you, they tell you their BIG GOALS and then...NOTHING!
Oh...maybe they have some success. They hit a few promotions. But then...they go dark or they stop working.
OR...MAYBE THAT'S YOU!
Today we're talking about four reasons why people stop working.
Four reasons why they give up.
As always, I'm going to encourage you to start with YOU!
Which of these can you identify with?
Figure out what you need to do to make some changes and DO THEM!
Then you can start on those on your team.
READY?
Let's GO!

michelle
