😤😭🤬 How to Make Extra Money from Home When Your Mentors Gone Crazy ~ My Upline Sucks

Let’s be real, Sunshine.. some of us have had our fair share of up-line drama: Bickering, ghosting, finger pointing, zero training, no culture, no community, mixed messages.. or worse —> "my upline quit!"

If you’re nodding your head, (or even shaking your head with me) you're not alone. This isn’t just a you problem, it’s a real thing. And yeah, I’ve been there too. It’s a special kind of heartbreak when someone you trusted as your mentor suddenly isn’t showing up or feels totally off-the-rails bat🦇 sh** crazy.

But that doesn’t mean you have to throw in the towel.

Fall is a season of change.. and maybe it’s time to shift how you see yourself, your power, and your business. 🍂

Step One: Ask Yourself the Tough Love Question 💛

Is your business still aligned with your heart, your values, your lifestyle? Are you just burnt out and looking for an easy exit? Or maybe the biz model was right once, but no longer fits where you are in life. It's okay if things changed. Give yourself permission to reevaluate without guilt.

*No shame, no blame .. Just claim your hear and now.

But if the fire is still there and you do want to build something beautiful... it's time to take back your power.

Not every season of growth is pretty, but fall shows us how beautiful letting go can be.

Step Two: Be Honest — Did You Sign On Hoping to Be Led, Not Lead?

.. I winced a little typing this out, it's like the salt that helps with the🍋‍🟩bite of the fall smokey Tequila .. You and I, we signed up as independent business owners, not a sidekick. Yes, mentorship matters. But so does personal leadership. It’s time to become the upline, the example, the lighthouse you wish you had.

"If it is to be, it’s up to me."

Say it. Feel it. Embody it.

Let’s face it: even the best up-lines in the world still have team members who ghost them. So what are you waiting for? Maybe this whole breakdown is actually the breakthrough you've been needing. Because being the CEO of your own life means taking the reins even when you’re scared.

**Personal story - I had a job in my 30's and I used to ki-yi and complain to my co-workers I could do a better job than my boss. Finally one of my friends said "Roxanne if you can do better, then take his job." .. So I did! .. So I ask you .. how many times in your life, your week have you said "I can do better than so-and-so" .. well Sunshine, here's your chance .. Go For It!

Step Three: Get Out of Suck-ville

Let’s map a way forward, even when your up-line has dipped, drifted, or gone a little cuckoo.

💡 1. Commit Fully

Plant your flag. Draw your line. Dust off the "woe is me" and become the bold, compassionate, and competent leader you were searching for. The fall 🍂 wind might be strong, but so are your roots.

It's now time to look inward vs outward .. Decide!

Decide that your make money online journey isn’t dependent on one flaky mentor. This is your story now. You’re not waiting on anyone else to validate your mission. You're doing this for you.

💡 2. Plug In Elsewhere

Find community and inspiration outside your immediate team. Whether it’s a new Facebook group, free training, a coach, or a fresh business model — there are better ways to build online today. Explore digital marketing. Discover how to make money online from home using skills you already have.

Digital marketing gives us freedom, flexibility, and financial potential that doesn’t require inventory, cold calls, copy paste DM's or convincing anyone to jump ship.

💡 3. Set a Boundaried Schedule

Time-block your growth. Don’t just wing it. Make a plan that identifies "what matters most", and focus on those first! Decide what your business hours are (even if that’s 45 minutes a day while the stew simmers). Structure fuels success.

Want to learn how to make extra money online this fall without losing your sanity? It begins with small, consistent actions — not random sprints.

💡 4. Reach Up or Reach Out

If your direct upline isn’t serving you, skip up the chain. Or find a sideline sister who shares your heart and hustle. You are not stuck. There are amazing women out here doing real work and making real money from home. Align with them.

You can absolutely build a circle that lifts you higher — one Voxer chat, Zoom call, or IG DM at a time.

PS ... Come say hello to me over on Facebook :) let's connect!

💡 5. Stop Arguing with the Flat-Earthers

Seriously — you’re not here to waste your energy debating people who don’t want to grow. Use your time to build, not bicker.

Time is your most precious asset. Don’t spend it explaining your dreams to people who haven’t earned the right to hear them. Save your energy for those who get it — or are open to learning.

Pro Tip: If you find yourself caught up in new drama, chaos of "complainers, whiners and ask-holes .. read this blog to help "bless and release" the old to "bring in the new".

💡 6. Build Your Own Table

Sometimes what starts together doesn’t end together. Maybe it’s time to create your own tribe. A fresh Messenger chat. A new Facebook group. A bold shift toward something more aligned — like digital marketing, where YOU hold the reins AND 100% commissions!

Start your own clubhouse, your own sisterhood, your own rhythm of building extra income from home without drama. You’ll be amazed what blooms when you stop waiting for someone to water you.

💡 7. Get Your Partner on Board (or Not)

If the guy in your life doesn’t understand your vision just yet — that’s okay. But bring him along for the ride. Let him know what you're building and why. Invite him to see your goals. Ask for his feedback. Share your milestones. And if he's still skeptical? Keep showing up. Results speak louder than words.
