What does it really take to build a long-term, sustainable business in Direct Selling - especially when motivation dips and things feel heavy? In this powerful episode of the Direct Selling Accelerator Podcast, I’m joined by Zelia Malherbe, a Norwex leader with over 16 years of experience navigating growth, leadership, and change in the industry. Zelia shares her honest journey from introverted beginnings to leading with confidence, why simplicity always outperforms complexity, and how real connection - not social media broadcasting - builds lasting success. We unpack motivation vs discipline, the importance of systems, personal development, conferences, and why Direct Selling remains a people-first business.
