Hi guys, it's Amanda, and you are listening to The Amanda Ferguson Show.

This podcast is all about building a Christ-centered life, family, and business.

So do me a favor. Get you a nice cup of coffee

or tea. Get a cozy spot and let's chat. I want you to be okay with failing more often. That's right.

I said fail more often.

There's a lady whose father taught her that it was okay to fail.

Indeed, he told her she should try to fail every single day.

And when they would sit down for dinner, he would ask her what she felt in that week.

That lady is a billionaire, known as Sarah Blakely and the owner of Spanx.

You know, often we're afraid of failure because we think just because we failed,

then that means we are failures.

It is not true.

In this episode, I am going to talk about the many things I failed in.

In the last episode, I mentioned to you that I tried so many different things.

And at one point, I wasn't comfortable talking about all of the things that I didn't do well

because I didn't know how to separate the failures

that I did beyond me being a failure myself, two totally different things. So let me start

with my first business venture. My very first business venture was with MLM, and some of you know MLMs are

known as multi-level marketing, and there are so many different ones, from selling tea to selling

leggings. I mean, you can Google MLM, and you'll find them everywhere. But I remember having a conversation with my friend.

I believe this might have been 2010 and she was telling me about this MLM and how, you know,

it would be so amazing and that we were going to make so much money.
