How Blair Critch Got Started in Network Marketing

Back in 2009, Blair was a broke kindergarten teacher climbing out of bankruptcy. Her husband was struggling with opioid addiction. She needed to support her family and had no time to waste.

That’s when she saw something unusual on Facebook: an online jewelry party. This was before online parties were a thing, but Blair jumped in. With a $250 startup fee her mom gifted her, she hosted her first party and booked 10 more.

Within 2 months, she was making more money than she had in an entire year of teaching.

The Power of Belief and Authentic Sharing

Blair never considered herself a salesperson. But she realized something powerful—when you love the product and lead with service, it doesn’t feel like selling. It feels like helping.

Her confidence grew not because she became a salesperson, but because she believed in what she was sharing.

Later, in 2014, she transitioned to a health supplement company. This time, it was residual income, and she could work entirely online. The business model clicked, and so did her passion. She began building a six-figure business from her laptop—while still being present for her family.

Why Blair Critch Left Her Long-Time Company

This is the question most people are afraid to ask:

Why do leaders leave successful network marketing companies?

For Blair Critch, it wasn’t a simple decision. She stayed 18 to 20 months longer than she should have out of loyalty to her team.

But her health changed after cancer, menopause, and switching to a plant-based lifestyle. The products no longer aligned with her new values, and the leadership no longer felt right.

As Blair put it:

“You’re being loyal to a company instead of being loyal to your faith and your family.”

That was the wake-up call.

Within weeks, she was introduced to a new founder, a new product she already loved, and a company that felt like home. She didn’t chase a team or make a dramatic exit—she simply started over.

The Mindset to Start Over (Even If You’re Scared)

Blair had to overcome the fear of what others might think. Would people think she failed? Would customers and teammates follow her again?

Her advice:

“We all evolve. You don’t still use the same cleaning products from 10 years ago—your body, your life, your journey changes.”

She had honest conversations with her team. She didn’t pressure anyone to join her. She just said: “I’m starting from scratch—and I’ll show you what’s possible.”

Why Should Someone Join Blair Critch?

Simon put her on the spot with this question:

“Why should someone join you?”

Her answer?

• She’s authentic
• She shares everything that works
• She’s in the trenches with her team
• She supports everyone, not just top producers
• She creates systems, funnels, and tools—and gives them away
• She never asks anyone to do something she wouldn’t do herself

Blair Critch's Vision for the Future

Blair has big goals. She’s building a massive team. She wrote out a five-year vision of flying first class, traveling to a new state every month to meet her team, and hosting meetings with med spas, dentists, and small business owners.

She also wants a lake house near her sons’ college in Alabama, where she imagines hosting them and their friends on weekends. She can already hear the laughter, smell the BBQ, and feel the joy of that dream.

That clarity keeps her focused every day.

How Blair Critch Stays Consistent (Even After a Hard Day)

Blair’s secret? Daily habits.

Here’s Blair Critch's morning routine:

• Reads the Bible
• Reads her one-year vision out loud as if it’s already happened
• Listens to 20 minutes of personal development
• Time blocks everything (including social media)
• Works in focused, intentional blocks—sometimes with her team on Zoom

She sets a timer. She deletes apps when they’re distracting (she and her husband removed Uber Eats for the month of May to stay disciplined).

She reminds herself daily:

Who do I need to become to achieve this vision?
