Michelle never thought she\u2019d be into drugs and made straight A\u2019s in school until she got raped at 14.<\/p>\n<p>One night, she snuck out with her boyfriend and ended up taking so many shots of alcohol that she passed out and found herself raped by a man that was NOT her boyfriend.<\/p>\n<p>This spiraled into drug abuse.\u00a0 By the time she was 21, she had gone to rehab 5 times and been in and out of jail.<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards, she found herself homeless because she couldn\u2019t get a job because of her past and had to sell her body to feed her addiction and to make ends meet.<\/p>\n<p>Somehow she met a man that helped out out and got her going to church\u2026 and that eventually led Michelle to network marketing.<\/p>\n<p>Today she is a network marketing leader and one of the top leaders in her company.<\/p>\n<p>In the last 2 years, Michelle has built a team and has over 500 customers. She has won numerous incentive trips and has spoken at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.MLMNation.com\/002\">Ray Higdon<\/a>\u2019s event and also at ANMP.<\/p>\n<h2>Favorite Quote<\/h2>\n<p>\u201c\u201cIt is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming;&#8221; (Teddy Roosevelt)<\/p>\n<h2>Must Read Book<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Z1nXdP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Freakishly Effective Leadership for Network Marketers: How to Reduce Frustration, Drive Massive Duplication and Become a Leader Worth Following by Ray Higdon<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Recommended Online App<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/storyart-insta-story-creator\/id1403688089\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Story Art<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/bt\/app\/adobe-lightroom\/id878783582\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Light Room<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Recommended Prospecting Tool<\/h2>\n<p>Online Video<\/p>\n<h2>Contact Info<\/h2>\n<p>Michelle Eldridge on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Eldridge.Michelle.2451211\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Michelle Eldridge on <a href=\"http:\/\/Instagram.com\/_michelle_eldridge_\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What Did You Learn?<\/h2>\n<p>Thanks for joining me on the show.<\/p>\n\n<p><em>So what did you learn?<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>If you enjoyed this episode please share it on social media and send it to someone that needs extra motivation in their MLM business.<\/p>\n\n<p><em>Do you have any thoughts or comments?<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Please take 60 seconds to <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/mlm-nation\/id978189040\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">leave an HONEST review<\/a> for the MLM Nation Podcast on iTunes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Ratings and reviews are extremely important for me to make this show better.<\/p>\n\n<p>Finally, don\u2019t forget to <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/mlm-nation\/id978189040\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">subscribe to the show on iTunes<\/a> so that you get updates and new episodes downloaded to your phone automatically.<\/p>\n\n<p>Subscribe to\u00a0our show: <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/mlm-nation\/id978189040\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Apple Podcasts<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.google.com\/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5wb2RjYXN0bWlycm9yLmNvbS9tbG0tbmF0aW9u\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Podcasts<\/a> |\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stitcher.com\/show\/mlm-nation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stitcher<\/a>\u00a0| <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/5wTKx60413amxvAqp85WT5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spotify<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/tunein.com\/podcasts\/Business--Economics-Podcasts\/MLM-Nation-p1183276\/?topicId=129356680\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TuneIn<\/a>\u00a0| <a href=\"https:\/\/feeds.podcastmirror.com\/mlm-nation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RSS<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michelle Eldridge shares her incredible story on how she went from drug addict&#8230; to jail&#8230; and to network marketing leader.\u00a0 Simon Chan interviews her and uncovers her social media routine, how to do an effective Facebook Live, the psychology of followups, how to be consistent and much more.
