Quote: "The worst danger we face is the danger of being paralyzed by doubts and fears. This danger is brought on by those who abandon faith and sneer at hope." - Harry S. Truman
As a disabled network marketer managing chronic conditions, I live this quote. The real struggle isn't the physical pain; it's the mental paralysis caused by doubt:
"Can I really build this MLM business with limited energy?"
"Will my health hold up for a leadership position?"
"Am I being unrealistic by aiming for entrepreneurship?"
These voices—and the external sneers of those who abandoned hope—are the biggest obstacles facing every disabled entrepreneur. 🛑
🛡️ Your Shield Against Paralysis
For every parent, family builder, dadpreneur, and mumprenuer trying to be healthier and improving their lives on a daily basis, here’s how we fight the fear:
* Embrace Faith Over Fear: Your "disability" is a perspective, not a destination. Have faith in your direct sales product and your unique story. 🌟
* Filter the "Sneerers": Those who "sneer at hope" are often projecting their own failure. Mute the noise. Focus on the positive change you bring to other disabled people and healthy individuals. 👂
* Action is the Antidote: Don't wait until you feel 100%. Take one small, intentional step today. Action breaks the paralysis of doubt. That 15-minute follow-up call is a win! 🏆
You have the power to overcome the doubt. Your strength through chronic conditions is your superpower in this business.

"YOU CAN DO ANYTHING, BUT NOT EVERYTHING." - David Allen
If you're a network marketer with chronic conditions, you know this quote isn't just fluffy motivation—it’s the daily fight plan. 🥊
I spent too long trying to do everything—hustle culture, all the calls, zero rest. Result? Flare-ups, burnout, zero income.
👋 Fellow disabled entrepreneurs, dadpreneurs, and mumprenuers—can you relate?
🛑 Stop Chasing EVERYTHING
We must shift from trying to do everything to mastering our anything.
✅ You CAN build a thriving direct sales business ($) and nurture your family.
✅ You CAN prioritize rest, use an afternoon nap as a strategy, and still be an effective entrepreneur.
❌ You CANNOT attend every event, manage every chore, and hit every crazy goal on the same spoon count.
🔑 Focus on ONE Thin
For us, being healthier and improving our lives on a daily basis is the ultimate business strategy. What's the ONE THING that moves your needle today?
Health is CEO: Take your supplements, rest when needed. (For my fellow healthy individuals and chronic condition warriors!)
Strategic Focus: Dedicate 60 minutes of focused work. When the energy is gone, the workday is done. 🧠
Delegate: Get your family involved. You don't have to do it alone.
This is your permission slip. Be strategic. Be consistent. Define your anything.
💖 What is the ONE strategic "anything" you are committing to for your health or your MLM business TODAY? Let me know below! 👇

Opening Doors: Practical Job Search Tips for Individuals with Disabilities
Finding a job can be challenging for anyone — and for individuals with disabilities, it often comes with additional barriers related to accessibility, bias, and workplace accommodations. But with the right strategies, confidence, and resources, you can position yourself for success. Here’s a practical guide to help you find accessible opportunities, highlight your strengths, and navigate the application process with clarity and confidence.
Focus on your abilities, not limitations. Use disability-friendly job boards, tailor your resume to your strengths, and practice disclosure strategies if needed. Explore training and education programs, including online degrees, to strengthen your skills. Always seek employers who wholeheartedly demonstrate inclusion.
Begin your job search by understanding your strengths, interests, and accessibility needs. Reflect on what environments allow you to thrive — do you prefer remote work, flexible scheduling, or a setting that emphasizes teamwork?
Use resources like AbilityJobs, all of which focus on inclusive employment. Many of these platforms list roles from employers who have verified disability inclusion policies, accessible onboarding, and active diversity programs.
Employers value what you can do — your skills, creativity, and problem-solving abilities. When writing your resume, focus on measurable outcomes and examples. Instead of listing duties, write statements that show results:
If you use assistive technology, that can be framed as an advantage: you’re proficient in using tools that streamline efficiency. Websites like Job Accommodation Network provide examples of how to describe accommodations positively during interviews.
Recruiting systems can sometimes be inaccessible. If you encounter challenges, it’s okay to reach out to HR or the accessibility contact listed on a company’s website.
Most employers are legally obligated to provide reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Checklist: How to Make Your Application Process Accessible
If you’re unsure about disclosure timing, guidance from organizations like Disability Rights Education & Defense Fund can help you make an informed decision.
Expanding your education can dramatically improve your job prospects. Earning an online degree can provide flexibility while you continue working or managing health needs. If you’re exploring business roles, you may want to check this out. Online business degree programs teach essential skills in accounting, management, communications, and leadership — all applicable to a range of careers.
Online degree programs make it easier to balance full-time work and studies while developing credentials that employers recognize.

University of Phoenix stands out for its commitment to flexibility and accessibility, particularly for learners balancing multiple responsibilities.
Assistive and adaptive technologies can make job searching and working smoother. From screen readers and speech recognition software to ergonomic tools, technology continues to expand opportunities for people with disabilities.
Recommended tools:
These technologies can be highlighted on your resume as technical competencies — many employers value employees who master productivity and adaptive tools.
Preparation is key. Research the company’s inclusion policies and identify any diversity networks or accessibility groups they have. During the interview:
If reasonable accommodations are required, communicate them early in the process. Examples include flexible start times, ergonomic workstations, captioning services, or remote arrangements.
Should I mention my disability on my resume?
No. Disclosure is a personal choice. Mention it only if it directly relates to the job or if accommodations are needed during the hiring process.
What rights do I have during interviews?
Under the ADA, employers cannot discriminate based on disability and must provide reasonable accommodations throughout the hiring process.
How can I tell if a company truly supports inclusion?
Look for inclusion reports, accessibility statements, and employee resource groups (ERGs). Ask specific questions about workplace accessibility and culture.
Your disability is not a barrier — it’s a part of your story that has given you resilience, adaptability, and perspective. By focusing on accessible opportunities, leveraging technology, and continuing your professional growth, you can build a fulfilling and sustainable career. The modern workforce is evolving — and with visibility, education, and self-advocacy, so are the possibilities.

🛋️ Netflix & Chill Dilemma: Shared Account or Separate Profiles for Couples? 🍿
As a disabled network marketer with chronic conditions, I live by the mantra: Time Freedom is TRUE Wealth. But even with flexible schedules, my energy is a finite resource. This leads to some funny (and sometimes serious) debates in my relationship!
One that pops up when we finally crash on the couch after a busy day of building our biz and managing health? The Netflix Profile Question!
The REAL question for us power couples (especially you amazing #Dadpreneurs, #Mumprenuers, and #DisabledEntrepreneurs out there!):
Do you sacrifice your precious personalized recommendations for the sake of simplicity and one login? Or do you keep it separate to protect your "must-watch" list from confusing algorithms?
For us, the separate profile is a small act of self-care and relationship harmony! It ensures my streaming service is a true sanctuary on my worst health days, full of things that require zero mental energy. Every bit of ease counts when managing a business and chronic illness! 💜
What's the Netflix relationship etiquette in your household?
Let me know in the comments! 👇
💖
Tell me your team's strategy! 👇 DROP a "SHARE" if you combine profiles, or a "MINE" if you keep it separate!
