Welcome back to Powerhouse Lawyers with Erin Gerner! Intro [00:00] Introducing Jennifer Jones [00:30] Jennifer Jones is a direct sales representative expert. She transformed her career from working in medical sales to building a business on her terms in network marketing! I talk with her about what exactly got her to make the shift and add more flexibility in her financial life. Corporate Brainwashing [06:00] Transitioning from 9 to 5 work to hopping off the hamster wheel of trading her time for money, Jennifer refused to allow someone else tell her how much she was worth. She refused to let someone else have a say in what her salary cap was. How Jennifer knew she could take on network marketing [08:25] A big part of Jennifer’s leap into entrepreneurship was the realization that she was the one in control. There was no one waiting to tell her what and when to do the things to take care of herself and her family. The moment Jenifer felt like she was cheating on her 9 to 5 with her network marketing side hustle is when she knew she had to bet on herself. Direct Selling [10:41] Direct sales is not as complicated as people like to make it seem! At its core, direct sales is the act of affiliating products. This kind of business allows people to dip their toe in entrepreneurship, create a little financial breathing room, and generate a few extra hundred dollars per month. Most of all, creating your second stream of income gives you money to invest in your dream, whatever that looks like for you. How Jennifer laid the foundation for entrepreneurship [13:53] Entrepreneurship is not just generating money on your own. Most specifically, it is the repetitive act of seeking the time to be thoughtful with yourself and curating your life on purpose. Ignite and Launch Society [20:47] Jennifer leads a group of women that have made a career of network marketing. These are women that she teaches to not feel guilty for wanting to make money and lots of it! Jennifer’s Daughters [24:24] Every step of the way through Jennifer’s business, she is able to reinforce the lessons she is learning in entrepreneurship to her daughters. Breaking generational wounds, curses, stories, and beliefs. Jennifer teaches her clients AND daughters  that money is power. Money is freedom.  Advice to the lawyer listening [29:03] Jennifer advises us to continue to build community with people that are aligned with the vision that we have for ourselves. Build that community by not being afraid to talk to other people and create new connections. One tangible step: schedule a meeting with a potential partner. Whether that’s a mentor, accountability partner, future business partner, etc. – schedule a mutually beneficial meeting that allows you to extend a wider net in your network. Finally, Jennifer urges us to follow the little nudges that tug at us in the back of our minds – its trying to tell us that there is more out there for us. Guest Questions [31:18] Jennifer answers 2 questions:  If there is one thing she could go back and tell her younger lawyer self, what would it be? What is your unique superpower?  Closing [33:15] Join the Powerhouse Lawyers community now!  https://www.eringerner.com/powerhouselawyers-podcast  Connect with Jennifer Jones: LinkedIn ​​https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-jones-3142568/   Website https://www.igniteandlaunch.com/  https://www.experienceunlocked.com/home  Facebook https://www.facebook.com/jennifer.s.jones.526  Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jenniferschultzjones/?hl=en  Stay connected with Erin Gerner Website eringerner.com    LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/erin-gerner/  Facebook https://www.facebook.com/erin.w.gerner  Instagram https://www.instagram.com/eringerner/?hl=en
