Lizanne Falsetto – Meet The Creator of The thinkThin® Bar Who Sold Her Company For $215 Million

| By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

Lizanne Falsetto ditched a college basketball scholarship for an international modeling career. While on the road, Lizanne found herself hungry but didn’t like the fast food options so she created her own high-protein, zero-sugar, food-on-the-go snack, what we now call the thinkThin® bar! It set a trend as the FIRST protein bar to be gluten-free.

Lizanne went on to create a lifestyle brand and a national market leader. She ultimately sold thinkThin® to Glambia, Inc. in 2016 for $215 million dollars. Wow.

Tysh Mefferd – Trading the Glass Ceiling for Social Selling

Tysh Mefferd on She's Got Moxie with Joy Chudacoff

If you’re someone who has thought about “social selling” or “network marketing,” then you’re going to be excited about my guest today, Tysh Mefferd. Tysh is a Double Diamond Director with Stella & Dot, a social selling company that sells jewelry, handbags, clothing, and other accessories for women (They actually had to create a NEW title for Tysh because she shattered all their sales quotas.) Tysh is currently the #1 Top Earner in the company earning over 100K in the month of November 2017.

Before Stella & Dot, Tysh had a thriving business in the wedding industry. Her whole life shifted when Hurricane Ike hit Texas in 2008. Tysh originally became a stylist with Stella & Dot as a side gig to help pay off some bills, but it quickly turned into something bigger. Tysh currently leads a team of over 9,000 stylists globally.

I’m so excited for you to hear from Tysh as she explains more about network marketing, when you should get involved, her tips to break into the industry, her productivity tips, her dreams and goals, and why she loves her flexible work schedule.

Right now, you know how good you are…

| By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

But, do you know how good you could be?

It seems like common sense: Become really good at what you do and then hit cruise control, right?

Nope. When you get to this point, if you don’t make some easily adjustable changes in your business, you’ll find yourself satisfactorily underperforming next year. When arriving at the Top seems just slightly out of your reach, it’s time to align certain areas of your business so you can refocus, engage and expand to the level you know you deserve.

You need to get strategic and open yourself up to the big 360° view of your business. Successful women know that THIS is their ticket to freedom. To truly step into the driver’s seat of your business, you MUST let go of the same old systems and routines.

My two-day Align Retreat coming up in January 2018 will give you the tools you need to get aligned with your vision as a leader, entrepreneur, and woman of impact.

You Are Freaking Brilliant…

| By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

I struggled this week on what I wanted to share with you. I actually had one article written and another in draft mode, but neither were hitting the mark for me instinctually.

This morning I woke with a rush of energy and intense passion. I knew exactly what my message needed to be. Read on if you are ready to be inspired and at the same time feel a little uncomfortable.

We, as women in leadership (by the way, that’s you), need to persist in having our voices heard. You need to speak up for other women who may not for varying reasons (i.e. fear, physical abuse) cannot in their current situation. You need to speak up for your mothers, daughters, sons, grandchildren and next door neighbors.

As recent as this week, a prominent, high profile female leader in our government was silenced… like a lamb. You cannot convince me that our beloved suffragettes who persisted for hours, days, weeks and years to blow the door wide open for our ability to express our opinions and views would accept what’s happening.
