Lotus credits good mentors for much of her success.
To get to where she is now, she was coached in critical
conversations; her mentors helped her navigate every
roadblock and overcome every obstacle. Here are some
of her thoughts on meaningful mentoring, whether for
yourself or another person:
• It’s easy to become discouraged and not know
what to do next. Remember that even though you’re
doing this business by yourself, you’re not alone. Find
someone to help you.
• Don’t worry if your organization changes. It happens,

and sometimes you need to fi nd new support. Work
with your upline, crossline, or a coach from time to time.
• Sometimes roadblocks arise because good
communication with your team falters. Reach out
and talk directly to your upline or downline.
• Stay connected. Find a mentor or mentor someone
else. Your best ideas often come from conversations
with other people.
• Be accountable. Remember, when you’re doing the
work, it inspires people above and around you.
