Manage episode 469591802 series 2870516
What would you do if your direct sales company suddenly shut down? That’s exactly what happened to Jenny Hillenburg, a top leader in a large direct sales company that closed its doors in December 2024. In this episode, Jenny shares her journey of navigating uncertainty, building a backup plan, and launching her own business—on her terms. If you’re a direct seller, this conversation is a must-listen.
