226. The Pivot: Part 2
Kristen continues the conversation from last week, pulling back the curtain on her own pivot and exploring why making a change, even when it feels necessary, can be so terrifying. She unpacks why growth often feels like loss, why we cling to the familiar, and how the fear of letting go keeps us stuck in places we’ve outgrown.Let’s look at a few highlights:Growth and grief often go hand in hand—letting go of what’s familiar can feel like a loss, even when we know it’s time for something new.We often hold on to what we’ve already invested in, whether it’s a belief, a job, or a relationship, because the fear of abandoning that energy feels overwhelming.The fear of inconsistency or betraying others can make us shrink ourselves to protect the peace, causing us to stay in situations that no longer align with our growth.Kristen highlights that the discomfort we feel around growth is often a signal of progress. The fear of pivoting is normal, but it’s also a sign that we’re standing at the edge of something bigger. The real risk isn’t in the change itself, but in staying where we are, avoiding discomfort, and missing out on what’s possible. Pivoting takes courage—and that’s exactly what we need to move forward.Follow Kristen on Instagram @thekristenboss If you are ready to learn lead generation and cold market strategies to grow your network marketing business, get on The Social Selling Academy waitlist here: https://www.kristenboss.com/ssa-pod

225. The Pivot: Part 1
It’s been a while since Kristen has given an update, and a lot has changed. She’s usually the one sharing stories of client successes and business wins, but today, she’s turning the focus inward. The past year has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows, forcing her to confront burnout, grapple with a loss of identity, and ultimately make a massive pivot.Kristen began noticing changes in her business long before she was ready to acknowledge them. She was seeing incredible transformations with her clients—families healing, individuals gaining clarity. It was the kind of impact she had dreamed of making. Yet, she found herself questioning, “Is this enough? What is this doing for my business?”What started as a quiet discomfort grew into full-blown burnout—a complete breakdown she never saw coming. For a while, Kristen did what most of us do—she kept going, pretending everything was fine. She didn’t want anyone to see that she was struggling. This pivot isn’t just about business; it’s personal. Kristen realized that the burnout, the breakdown, was her body’s way of telling her she was living out of alignment. She started focusing on her mental health, her family, and her own wellbeing. She’s learning to redefine success. If you’re feeling that pull, that sense that something needs to change, you’re not alone. Kristen’s journey is proof that it’s okay to pivot, to step back, and to realign with what truly matters. Stay tuned for part two.

224. Behind the Scenes: Coaching Conversation
In the social selling industry, consistency is often the deciding factor between success and struggle. Yet, many sellers find themselves caught in a cycle of reactive habits, only springing into action during a crisis.In a recent coaching session with some of her top six and seven-figure earners, Kristen unpacked these challenges and provided actionable insights to help sellers overcome the obstacles to consistency and build a thriving business.Let’s look at a few highlights:Kristen highlighted why many sellers struggle to stay consistent, noting the tendency to only take action during a crisis, which creates a cycle of unhealthy momentum.She discussed how both activity and inactivity in this business accumulate over time, with delayed results that make it easy to fall into complacency.The conversation also covered the importance of creating and maintaining momentum, especially during sprints, and how sometimes your team needs that extra push to keep moving forward.Consistency in social selling isn't just about reacting when problems show up—it's about creating and maintaining habits that drive ongoing success. Kristen’s coaching session showed that real success comes from being proactive, simplifying your approach, and keeping your team engaged. Ask yourself what success looks like for you right now and align your actions with that vision.Discover transformative strategies for network marketers in our exclusive 90-day membership and online course.

223. Consumer Behavior- Starbucks + Disney
It’s easy to think that if your sales are down, it must be because people aren’t spending money. But if you look around, the evidence tells a different story. From long lines at Starbucks to packed Disney parks, it’s clear that people are still opening their wallets. The key isn’t that they’re spending less, it’s that they’re spending differently. Consumers are focusing more on emotional fulfillment than ever before. In this episode, Kristen talks to listeners about the current state of consumer spending and behavior. She explores how people are spending money not out of necessity, but for emotional satisfaction. Kristen will guide you through understanding why consumers are prioritizing emotional fulfillment in their purchases and how you can use these insights to tailor your marketing strategies. Let’s look at a few highlights:People are looking for products and experiences that provide a dopamine boost. Their purchasing habits are driven by a quick emotional high. Kristen challenges you to analyze your own spending habits over the past month. What did you buy that made you feel good? This self-reflection can provide insights into broader consumer behavior.People aren’t just buying things out of necessity anymore. They’re splurging on stuff that makes them feel good. Many people would rather find ways to earn more money than cut back on their spending. To grab your potential customer’s attention, make sure your product or service hits them on an emotional level. Show how it can bring them joy or solve a problem.So, despite what you might hear, people are still spending money, but they’re doing it in a way that focuses on how it makes them feel. By understanding these emotional drivers and aligning your marketing strategies accordingly, you can better connect with your audience and see your sales reflect the true state of consumer spending.Discover transformative strategies for network marketers in our exclusive 90-day membership and online course.

222. Mini Series: Paycheck Plateau #3
The concept of trading time for money is familiar, but it's also limiting. There's only so much time in a day, and if your income is directly tied to your personal efforts, your earning potential is capped. To break through this barrier, you need to think beyond your own hours and start leveraging other resources. In today’s episode, Kristen provides practical guidance and the real truth on how to break through the third paycheck plateau. She focuses on increasing your impact in ways that aren’t directly tied to your personal time. One of the most effective strategies for doing this is building a team. Let’s look at a few highlights: Kristen discusses how scaling your efforts means increasing your impact in a leveraged and scalable way. This isn't just about working harder; it's about working smarter. It's about more than just adding members. It's about expanding your impact by bringing in people who want to build their own businesses. The truth is, you don't need to be an expert to help someone get their first customer. Leading by example is often enough. Without investing effort into building a team, you’re not fully leveraging your business. By building a team, you’re creating a sustainable and scalable business model. You need to get people into your team. You need to leverage this business through building a team. This is the key to breaking through the paycheck plateau and scaling your business to the next level.

221. State of the Union
There is a lot happening and shifting within the network marketing space right now. Big changes are leaving people questioning the future of network marketing and their own roles within it. Kristen is here to provide support and clarity about what’s going on in the industry, bringing you this special bonus episode. In this State of the Union replay, Kristen discusses the changes we’re seeing and offers encouragement and insight. Kristen continues to instill what is possible in this business model, reminding us all that there is still hope for the industry. It's normal to feel vulnerable, to have questions, and to feel a bit unsure of what’s coming next. Let’s look at a few highlights: This is hard, and we all feel it. Whenever we see a company change their model to an affiliate model, we ask, "What does this mean for my company?" It's important to remember that network marketing is not going anywhere. Even as companies pivot, your most valuable assets remain intact: your email lists, your personal brand, and the skills you’ve acquired. Tough seasons are part of any business journey. If you’re losing faith in the network marketing business, now is the time to rebuild your belief. Focus on what’s possible and where the industry is heading. Be the person who talks about the future and inspires others with a vision of where we’re going. It’s not about ignoring the challenges but about charging through the storm with determination and resilience. Network marketing offers countless opportunities, even in times of change. By focusing on your strengths and staying positive, you can navigate these shifts and come out stronger. Stay hopeful, stay confident, and remember, you have the tools needed to succeed.

Are you feeling stuck in your network marketing business, watching your income become stagnant despite your hard work? Welcome to the paycheck plateau, a phase every network marketer will face at some point. If you haven't encountered it yet, it's only a matter of time. In today’s episode, Kristen talks about how to recognize the warning signs, addresses the first paycheck plateau, and shares strategies for getting back on track. Let’s look at a few highlights: The paycheck plateau occurs when your income from network marketing stagnates after an initial period of growth. This is a natural part of the business cycle. Your content should go beyond asking for sales. Focus on how you can serve your audience and add value to their lives. Be deliberate with your content. Expand your network by connecting with people outside your immediate circle. Adapt your marketing strategies to the changing market dynamics. What worked initially may not work now. When you’ve exhausted your hot leads and find yourself struggling to maintain momentum, it’s time to shift your approach.

218. Storms, Seasons, and Commitment
It’s easy to be fully committed to your business when everything is going smoothly. But what about during the stormy seasons when sales don’t come as easily? How do you stay strong and put in the hard work even when it’s tough? The market has changed, and things are not the same as they used to be. Scarcity in the market creates new challenges. This is the time to dig deep and find your grit. Imagine if you could crush it during a hard market—what kind of skills could you develop, and who could you become? Let’s look at a few highlights: When the market is tough, it pushes you to think creatively and strategically. You’re forced to hone your skills, sharpen your focus, and develop new strategies to overcome obstacles. What if it’s not going to get easier? This new reality requires resilience and adaptability. Learn to work hard when it's hard. If you’re in a storm, stop waiting for it to pass. Embrace the challenges, commit to your goals, and find ways to thrive. Remember: change is inevitable in business and it’s not always going to be easy. So, if you’re feeling the weight of these changing times, use it as motivation to redefine your approach and embrace a new normal that sets you up for sustained growth and achievement.

217. The Danger Zone
Have you ever felt like your business is on cruise control, where the excitement and motivation that once drove you have faded? This stage is what’s known as the "danger zone," and it’s a place many of us might find ourselves in without even realizing it. The concept hit home for Kristen during a conversation with her fitness coach about her current state in her fitness journey. What became strikingly clear is that this danger zone is not just limited to fitness—it happens in business too. Let’s look at a few highlights: The danger zone is a point in your journey where you're no longer driven by pain but haven't yet established a new goal to chase. It’s human nature to avoid pain more than to chase desires Your business begins as a solution to this pain, but what happens when the pain is alleviated? Without a new goal, you risk entering the danger zone. Without the drive to move forward, complacency sets in. You might think there’s an endpoint where you’ve completed your journey, but the truth is, the work never truly ends. Understand that growth often comes with discomfort. Be willing to put yourself in situations that challenge you and push you out of your comfort zone. Every entrepreneur reaches a point where the journey feels mundane and less exciting. It's normal, but it’s also a signal that you need to push yourself further. The danger zone is a reality for many business owners. It’s where you might feel tempted to relax and coast, but it’s also where you risk stagnation. Kristen encourages you to move out of the danger zone, find the motivation that will drive you to the next level, and achieve your goals. Don’t let complacency take hold.

216. Buying Back In
Are you the person who's constantly looking back at what your business once was? Wishing for the days when making a sale felt effortless, when your warm market connections seemed to be enough? The truth is, things have changed. In today’s episode Kristen delivers the hard truth about tapping into your cold market and asking the crucial question… are you still bought into this business, even knowing it's different, hard, and outside of your comfort zone? Let’s look at a few highlights: Wishing for the old business creates resistance to your now. If you compare the present day team and business to the past, we are in a different landscape. One of the significant shifts in network marketing is the transition from warm market messaging to cold market engagement. The people you once relied on—friends, family, acquaintances—might not be enough to sustain your business anymore. If your customer base isn't yielding the same revenue, it's a sign that you need new eyes on your products. It's not enough to show up only when you're desperate or feeling scarcity. True success comes from being consistent, no matter the circumstances. Buying back in means embracing the changes, adapting your strategies, and continually selling yourself on the value and potential of your business. Let's be real: this isn't your old business anymore. The landscape has changed, and clinging to the past won't drive your success in the present. It's time to decide—are you in this business or not? Are you ready to stop making excuses, adapt to the new reality, and put in the work? The future of your business depends on your ability to evolve. It's time to stop dwelling on what used to be and start building what can be. Get out of your comfort zone, engage with the cold market, and commit to your business.

214. The Stickiness Problem
Have you ever had someone join your team, only to quickly realize that this business model wasn’t for them? Kristen has been noticing a significant issue: the stickiness problem. This has become a common theme in the social selling industry. But why do so many people come in and exit just as quickly? In today’s episode Kristen dives into the reasons behind this problem and explores ten strategies to improve retention and help your team members stick around. Let’s look at a few highlights: Stickiness refers to the ability to retain new team members effectively. It’s about how many people join your team and how many actually stay and thrive. Kristen emphasizes that addressing these issues requires strategic changes in how leaders bring people onto their teams and support them once they join Consider what shifts you need to make in your approach to help people stick to your team. What questions can you ask during the vetting process? How can you better support new members in their initial days How can you work with new team members to adjust their expectations and recognize smaller, incremental successes rather than expecting immediate, large wins? Not everyone is cut out for social selling, and it's crucial to differentiate between those who are serious about the opportunity and those who are merely wishful thinkers. Remember, it's your team too. There is work you have to do to keep the "right" team members. Reflect on these points and consider the shifts you need to make to ensure you're attracting and retaining the best people for your team. What questions can you ask to ensure you're bringing in the right people and setting them up for success? The success of your team starts with your leadership and the standards you set.

213. 2AM Thoughts: The Truth About Business
In today’s episode, Kristen is sharing her literal 2am thoughts that couldn’t wait until the morning. These thoughts stem from recent conversations and a growing frustration with the smoke screens we encounter daily on social media about business. It’s easy to get caught up in the glamorous look of entrepreneurship—the posts promising effortless passive income and ultimate time freedom. But these visions are grossly exaggerated. They present an incomplete picture of what success in the online business space actually looks like. People are falling prey to these promises, naively stepping into spaces without understanding the pain and frustration they might face. Kristen is here to tell the radical uncomfortable truth about business. The reality is, the hard parts of business have been minimized in the narratives we’re fed. Let’s look at a few highlights: People are quitting too soon because they believe there’s an easier path elsewhere. But the truth is, there is no “easier” when you aim to achieve big and impactful things in business. Growing your pain tolerance is a crucial part of being an entrepreneur. Pain is an inseparable companion on the journey to success. When you choose to tackle hard things, pain will always be there. Learn to unpack your relationship with pain. What is it bringing up for us? Most importantly, what is the pain trying to teach us? It’s not about finding an easier path but about facing the challenges head-on and growing stronger through them. So, next time you’re scrolling through social media and see those posts about effortless success, remember this: the true path to success is paved with persistence, resilience, and a whole lot of grit. Let’s stop running from the pain and start recognizing it for what it truly is.

212. Avoiding the Summer Slump
As the temperatures rise and summer sets in, many business owners find themselves tempted to hit the pause button on their business. Kristen's heard it time and again "summer is crazy, and I have to slow down my business." With vacations, kids home and outdoor activities, it's easy to see why entrepreneurs might want to slow down. But here's the truth: your present actions will shape your future results. In today's episode, Kristen delivers an important message. Slowing down during the summer months can have lasting repercussions on your business pipeline and long-term growth. Let’s look at a few highlights: The mistake many business owners make is failing to grasp the connection between present actions and future outcomes. Your audience relies on you to be reliable and present. By staying the course, remaining consistent, and actively engaging with your audience, you lay the groundwork for long-term success. Building a sustainable business means working diligently in every season, not just when it's convenient. If you've convinced yourself that summer isn't the time for business growth, it's time to rethink your strategy.

Staying committed can often be the difference between success and failure. Kristen wastes no time in driving home this point, emphasizing the need for dedication to your business. But why is consistency so crucial? It's simple: trust. Building trust with your audience is paramount, and trust is forged through consistent action and delivery. In today’s episode Kristen explores how to revamp your business in just 90 days, focusing on the vital importance of commitment and providing value to your customers. However, commitment goes beyond simply chasing a paycheck. Let’s look at a few highlights: Kristen challenges us to look for non-monetary victories. It's about cultivating a "keep going" mentality, refusing to be deterred by setbacks and obstacles. Ask yourself what does commitment look like for you? Unpack the driving force that propels you forward even when the going gets tough. How can we authentically connect with our audience and meet their needs? Commitment is more than just a mindset, it requires action. Kristen encourages us to commit to specific goals and strategies, whether it's through consistent social media presence, delivering valuable content, or nurturing relationships with our customers.

209. Perfection Paralysis
Have you ever found yourself trapped in the cycle of perfectionism, unable to move forward because you fear not being good enough? If so, you're not alone. In today's episode, Kristen explores the concept of perfection paralysis through the lens of a student's journey from a coaching call within the Academy. She fell into the trap of believing the story, "I don't know what I'm doing." Sound familiar? Listen as Kristen provides invaluable guidance on how to shift out of a perfection paralysis mindset. Let’s look at a few highlights: It’s okay not to have all the answers. The key lies in a commitment to continuous learning and growth. Perfectionism, Kristen pointed out, often leads to feelings of overwhelm, resulting in a state of paralysis. Confidence is built through taking action. When we put pressure on ourselves to be perfect, we only end up freezing in fear. We don't have to prove ourselves or perform for others. When we remove that expectation, we can show up authentically and attract the right opportunities. So, if you've ever felt stuck in the pursuit of perfection, know that you're not alone. Take inspiration from this story and remember: it's okay not to have all the answers. Embrace imperfection, take action, and trust in your ability to figure it out as you go along. That's where true growth and success lie. Did you hear? The Rise Up Summit, happening 4/19-20 in Denver, CO, is the room you need to be in.

207. The Audience Gap
If you've said to yourself lately, "sales feel tougher than ever," buckle up because this episode is for you. Kristen is dishing out some hard-hitting truths in a lesson that might just change your sales game forever. What happens when we become too comfortable with our warm market? What if we find ourselves stuck, unable to expand beyond our current circle? This is where the switch happens—the audience gap. It's the shift from reliance on the warm market to tapping into the potential of the cold market. Let's look at a few highlights: If you stay comfortable within your warm market for too long, you'll hit a point of market saturation. The audience gap didn't just happen overnight. It results from complacency – relying solely on your existing customer base and neglecting to expand your reach. If you want to level up from side hustle money to entrepreneur money, you need to provide value, nurture leads, and expand your audience. Understand that cold and warm audiences require different strategies. Tailor your messaging and engagement tactics accordingly to maximize your impact. Bridging the audience gap isn't easy, but it's essential for long-term success. It's not our customers' job to expand our reach—it's ours. This means actively seeking new opportunities, networking with new faces, and continuously providing value to our audience. Remember, growth demands change. Discover the power of reaching your ideal audience effortlessly with The Audience Accelerator' a game-changing 30-Day content strategy plan that will revolutionize your online presence through targeted marketing strategies and expert guidance.

206. How to Prevent Burnout
Burnout—it's a word that gets thrown around a lot in the business world. Every entrepreneur has faced it at some point or another. It's not just about feeling tired or overworked. It's about feeling like your efforts aren't being rewarded, like you're pouring everything you have into your business but not seeing the returns you expected. In today's episode, Kristen talks about how we prevent burnout and, more importantly, how we bounce back after we hit burnout. Let's look at a few highlights: Burnout is not just about working too hard or taking on too much—it's about working unsustainably. Burnout is not a reflection of our business or our abilities as entrepreneurs. It's a wake-up call to realign our actions with our values and to rediscover the joy in our work. You have to learn to regulate your emotions and to navigate the highs and lows of entrepreneurship with resilience and grace. Ask yourself: What am I doing that's unsustainable? What can I delegate or eliminate to reduce my workload? And most importantly, what brings me joy? Ultimately, burnout isn't caused by our business itself. It's a symptom of how we show up in our business—our mindset, habits, and priorities. Did you hear? The Rise Up Summit, happening 4/19-20 in Denver, CO, is the room you need to be in.

205. Phases of Content Creation
How often are you looking for a shortcut when it comes to content creation? The allure of shortcuts is undeniable. In today’s episode Kristen breaks down the four phases of content creation. Her insights serve as a reality check, emphasizing the importance of building upon each phase. It's time to align our expectations and mindset to ensure you’re on the right track in this significant aspect of building your business. Let’s look at a few highlights: Building a solid content strategy requires a commitment to consistency. Consistency is the bridge that connects you with your audience. Comparing your progress to others in the industry is a dangerous game; instead, focus on refining your own content. The key is to build a value vault—working smarter, not harder. Transitioning from a consumer to a content creator mindset is essential. You need to be comfortable with the initial silence, acknowledging that everyone starts with "crickets" before building momentum. The grit and hard work invested in the initial phases lay the foundation for long-term success. In our race for success, it's easy for entrepreneurs to overlook the basics of content creation, enticed by the allure of quick success. Crafting compelling content demands grit, perseverance, and a willingness to embrace discomfort. The question isn't about avoiding hard work but rather about being ready to invest your time, effort, and energy. Success in content creation leaves clues – pay attention, adapt, and enjoy the journey of building a strong and lasting connection with your audience. Did you hear?

204. Entrepreneurial Mom Guilt
As moms, we often find ourselves grappling with guilt—whether it's about the food we feed our kids, their screen time, or the amount of outdoor play they get. Add entrepreneurship into the mix, and the guilt seems to multiply. Many women, striving to run successful businesses, share this common feeling of battling mom guilt. Kristen explores the various layers of mom guilt especially as it intertwines with building a business. Let’s look at a few highlights: Recognizing that dreaming big doesn’t equate to escaping motherhood. Being a mom and having ambitious goals can coexist. It's crucial to recognize that learning is an investment and not always immediately reflected in tangible results. A common pitfall is measuring our worth solely by financial results and deciding whether our business is “worth it.” While it's noble to care deeply about our families, we must question whether mom guilt serves us positively or becomes a barrier to personal and professional growth. Reflect on your business and time management habits to identify areas for improvement and create more intentional, quality time. In confronting mom guilt, we empower ourselves to build the dreams we're called to pursue. We can be great moms, friends, spouses, and successful business owners - it's not an either-or scenario. It's time to stop asking if it's worth it and start living the lives we were called to lead. Did you hear? The Rise Up Summit, happening 4/19-20 in Denver, CO, is the room you need to be in.

203. Plucking Up with Special Guest Liz Bohannon
The pressure to find purpose can be overwhelming, evoking a spectrum of emotions that range from stress and anxiety to downright fear. In today's episode, Kristen welcomes author, entrepreneur, activist, and all-around powerhouse Liz Bohannon. Liz challenges the conventional narrative around dreaming big, emphasizing the need to reframe messages and integrate work that aligns with our purpose. Liz doesn't just talk about finding your purpose; she empowers you to build it. Kristen and Liz's incredible conversation introduces the concept of "plucking up" – the courage to face failures and learn from them as you construct a purposeful life. She encourages us to find what we love and dismisses the notion that passion or purpose will magically find us. Let's look at a few highlights: Kristen and Liz Liz explore the role of curiosity in unlocking a growth mindset, activating the mind, and fostering creativity. Liz challenges the notion that purpose has to be grand, encouraging individuals to find joy in the ordinary and love their average selves. Failure is an inevitable part of being human. While it may never feel good, reframing our perspective can prevent it from being the end of the world. The story behind how Sseko morphed from a wholesale company to a direct sales/network marketing company Liz shares the power of a driven community, highlighting the importance of collective ambition. This conversation isn't just about individual goals but celebrates the need for community. It's a conversation filled with insights, challenges, and opportunities for personal growth that will undoubtedly fill your cup and inspire you to embrace your purpose and own your average. It's not just about goals; it's about collective ambition, community, and the pursuit of purpose—whether big or small.

202. The New CEO
As entrepreneurs, we wear multiple hats, navigating through various roles to ensure the success of our businesses. However, sometimes, we find ourselves stuck in positions that hinder our creativity and impede our overall growth. Kristen found herself immersed in various roles that were draining her creativity. In today's episode, Kristen shares her journey of self-discovery and growth, highlighting the pivotal decision to hire a CEO and relinquish her role to reignite her creative spark. Little did she know that the perfect candidate was under her roof – her husband, Scott Boss. The conversation with Scott delves into the dynamics of their partnership and how offloading specific tasks has allowed Kristen to channel her energy into strategic aspects of the business. Listen in as they discuss: Recognizing when and where to fire yourself, bringing in someone who can elevate the role and contribute to the success of your business. The concept of success in terms of bringing new visions and ideas, thinking of better ways to serve, and ultimately creating a positive impact on the lives of others. Discuss the importance of going beyond just business success and how every decision contributes to a larger purpose. Owning a business is undoubtedly challenging and filled with uncertainties and self-doubt. Kristen and Scott's candid conversation reminds entrepreneurs that firing oneself from specific roles can unlock greater creativity and growth. As they redefine success through the lens of entrepreneurship, the journey becomes not just about business but about making a meaningful difference in the world.

201. Growing Your Capacity for More
From the moment you sign up to be an entrepreneur, a familiar companion settles in – the ever-present emotion of uncertainty. Kristen acknowledges this reality but emphasizes a crucial insight – it's not just about the uncertainty itself; it's about how you choose to show up in the face of it. In today’s episode Kristen emphasizes a powerful truth – the more certain you are of yourself, the better equipped you are to handle the uncertainties that entrepreneurship inevitably brings. It's a mindset shift that empowers entrepreneurs to face challenges head-on. Here are a few highlights: She sheds light on the stark reality that only a small fraction of time is spent feeling like you're "crushing it." The journey involves signing up for both the good days and the bad days. Entrepreneurship is not always a safe space; it frequently involves discomfort. Kristen delves into the "freeze pattern" – the tendency to resist growth when leaving the safety of the familiar. Exposure to greater levels of doubt becomes a catalyst for expanding our capacity. When faced with uncertainty, Kristen advocates for the skill of "zooming out." It's a mental shift that prompts entrepreneurs to ask themselves, "Will this matter in a month? Two years? A week? Kristen concludes with a powerful reminder – overcoming hard things grows your capacity. She urges entrepreneurs to embrace doubt, discomfort, and challenges as opportunities for growth. The journey is not just about surviving, it’s about continually expanding the capacity to achieve more. I'm doing a FREE Social Selling Success in 2024 webinar TODAY, Monday 2/12.

200. Sisterhood Sabotage
Entrepreneurship is not just about business, it's about forging connections and building a community. Yet, we often find ourselves hindering our own ability to connect with others. It's time to reflect on how we might be getting in our own way and blocking the path to meaningful relationships. In today’s episode Kristen explores the concept of "sister sabotage," drawing from personal experiences and shedding light on the importance of connection and self-awareness. Kristen has uncovered invaluable insights that have reshaped the way she navigates personal and professional relationships. Here are a few highlights: Entrepreneurship isn't immune to mean girl behavior – the drama, gossip, and torn friendships that can hinder professional growth. We are all guilty of carrying stories that hinder our sense of belonging. These narratives, left unchallenged, can impede personal and professional growth. Assumptions about others can be detrimental to our professional relationships. Kristen encourages you to confront the stories you have about people in your circle. There's power in vulnerability. By shedding light on our insecurities and acknowledging our imperfections, we create space for authentic connections to flourish. By challenging the stories we tell ourselves, we open the door to new possibilities and create room for genuine connection and understanding. The stories we carry, the assumptions we make, and the insecurities we harbor can all serve as barriers to authentic connection. Remember, it starts with you – acknowledge your stories, get vulnerable, and build a community where success is rooted in genuine relationships. The Social Selling Leadership School is OPEN!

199. The Subtle Settle
Starting a business often stems from a combination of determination and desperation. People, dissatisfied with their current situation, establish the courage to initiate transformative change. However, as they overcome obstacles and achieve a semblance of stability, a subtle shift occurs. The initial desperation fades, and a sense of complacency can set in. Kristen has identified a consistent trend, which she refers to as the "subtle settle." This refers to the initial burst of motivation and drive that propels individuals into their entrepreneurial journey, but gradually diminishes over time. Here are a few highlights: What begins as a journey fueled by determination and ambition can gradually lose momentum, leaving entrepreneurs feeling stagnant and uninspired. Kristen emphasizes the importance of maintaining clarity of vision and staying connected to the underlying purpose that drives you forward. Ask yourself tough questions: Why is it important to go all the way? What meaning does this journey hold for me? What discomfort am I willing to endure to attain my goals? True growth requires a willingness to embrace discomfort and confront the obstacles that stand in the way of success. It's time to stop using scarcity as the fuel in our businesses, to stop looking behind and start focusing on the future. Remind yourself why you embarked on this journey in the first place. Don't succumb to the guilt of the subtle settle; instead, reconnect with your vision. The Social Selling Leadership School is OPEN!

198. 2024 Time to Hustle?
If you've ever felt caught in the rear-view mirror of your business, constantly looking back at "what was," it's time for a change. Dwelling on the past doesn't contribute to your growth. Instead, fix your eyes ahead, embracing a future-focused approach that propels you toward success. While the term "hustle" might evoke thoughts of burnout and excessive effort. In today’s episode Kristen provides the essential reminder of what hustle truly means. It's about getting your head in the game, picking up your pace, and being ready to fully engage. Here are a few highlights: The truth is, hustling isn't about mindlessly running in circles; it's about being future-focused. Complacency has become prevalent, it's essential to acknowledge that success isn't about things getting easier. It's about getting better at doing hard things. With success comes embracing grit, hard work, and the sweat equity needed to elevate your skills. Standing out requires a thoughtful and strategic content strategy. It's not just about selling; it's about providing value and building a community around your brand. If every time it gets tough, you find yourself searching for the easy way out, it's time to reevaluate your approach Redefine hustle as a force that propels you forward, guiding you toward success through intentional efforts, hard work, and a commitment to continuous growth. Entrepreneurship doesn't guarantee immediate returns; it demands consistent effort and hard work. Valuing hard work means understanding that shortcuts rarely lead to sustainable achievements.

197. RE-AIR Time Inventory
Have you ever panicked over not having enough time to get everything done, only to feel even more stressed out because you wasted what little time you DID have panicking over not having any time? Or have you ever sat down, determined to engage with your audience on social media - only to find that an hour has passed and you haven’t accomplished anything? Don’t worry. It happens to the best of us. But the good news is that there’s a strategy that might help you out, and Kristen’s here to tell you all about it. It’s called creating a time inventory.

But once you are aware of exactly how much time it takes you to complete tasks that earn you money, then it becomes easier to carve that time into your busy schedule.

You may be a goal setting pro who never reaches their goal. Or maybe you don’t even know where to start when thinking about setting a goal. Today, Kristen is going to help clean up any drama that you may have around setting and working towards a goal. Because if you don’t have a healthy relationship with setting goals, you will avoid setting them altogether. And that means no growth in your business or yourself. Here are a few highlights: What happens when you write down your goal and make it specific How to know how to set your goal parameters and timeline How to avoid hustle when working towards your goal What to do when you find yourself in drama while working on your goal The questions to ask yourself if you don’t hit your goal Why you must see failure as a necessary milestone There’s a big difference between a “goal setter” and a “goal getter.” A goal getter takes action and learns about themselves in the process. Because the true result of setting a goal is what you reveal about yourself and how you learn from that along the way. It’s so much more than hitting a milestone! Listen now for more.

How many times have you been pumped up to make changes in your life only to be disappointed when you quit a few days or weeks into your new habits? No amount of cute workout clothes or pretty planners is going to get you through the resistance and old programming that your brain offers you. Kristen’s giving you exactly how you need to approach your personal development and habit goals instead. Here are a few highlights: Why we always have resistance to new habits at first What it means to live in the ‘both, and’ world in the first 90 days of your new habit plan The 2 questions you need to answer before you start a new habit Why deciding between being outcome or process-focused is the key to sustainable success The different phases of building new habits We all have human brains, which means that we’ve all been stalled with resistance while trying to form new habits. To create discipline and develop long-term habits, we must learn how to plan for and manage our brain’s stories when they inevitably crop up. Listen in to approach things differently.

193. The Worst-Case Scenario
In business, many of us have experienced that moment when the potential worst-case scenario looms on the horizon. It's that unsettling feeling that freezes us in our tracks. Kristen acknowledges the typical response of saying, "It probably won't happen," as a way to minimize the fear. However, she proposes a more courageous approach – sitting with the worst-case scenario and unpacking it in its entirety. Kristen shares her personal story of physically working through a worst-case scenario. Whether it's the fear of rejection or the fear of shame, she emphasizes the importance of making peace with these scenarios. Let's look at a few highlights: Embracing the worst-case scenario is not a surrender to failure but a pathway to growth. Kristen's journey led her to a profound realization: nothing was left to fear because she had already lived through the worst-case scenario in her mind. The key is to make peace with the worst-case scenario. By making peace with our worst-case scenarios, we refuse to settle for fear, allowing ourselves to show up and pursue the extraordinary. Growth and risks are intertwined; they cannot exist without each other. By sitting with our fears and making them safe, we unveil the power to achieve the impossible. So, what if, like Kristen, we make peace with our fears and stop letting them prevent us from showing up? It's an invitation to embrace the unknown, confront our deepest fears, and discover the boundless potential that lies within. After all, growth is impossible without taking risks, and embracing the worst-case scenario unlocks the door to the extraordinary.

192. Productive Reflection
As we approach the end of the year, it's common to find ourselves reflecting on the past months. Sometimes, this reflection comes with a touch of shame and disappointment when we think about the things we didn't accomplish. However, what if we shift our focus from dwelling on missed opportunities to engaging in productive reflection? In today's episode, Kristen unpacks productive reflection and how it involves more than a mere glance back; it's about sifting through the highs and lows of the year, identifying our favorite moments, and acknowledging our achievements. Let's look at a few highlights: Ask yourself: What was your favorite thing this year? What are you proud of? What valuable lessons did you learn along the way? We assume we're entering the new year with a clean slate. However, the truth is we carry ourselves into the new year. The key is identifying the lessons learned and considering how we can evolve. Productive reflection isn't just about making resolutions; it's about putting action behind those resolutions. Give yourself permission to acknowledge your strengths and successes. This shift in perspective is crucial because constant rumination can make you feel like a victim of circumstance. Productive reflection isn't about erasing the past but using what you've learned to forge a brighter future. It's about acknowledging achievements, confronting learned lessons, and propelling ourselves toward growth. Embrace the lessons, celebrate your victories, and enter the new year with a renewed sense of purpose and resilience. Step into your greatness – no more playing small or hiding from your potential. Transform your business dreams into reality as you exceed even your own expectations.

191. Money, Marriage, and Motherhood with Jennifer Allwood
Choosing to be an entrepreneur while navigating the complexities of motherhood requires an honest conversation. Let's not sugarcoat it – it can be challenging, and the guilt accompanying it can be overwhelming. Kristen welcomes Jennifer Allwood for an open and candid conversation exploring the challenges entrepreneurial women and moms face, emphasizing the importance of not letting guilt become a hindrance. In the pursuit of business, mothers might find themselves wrestling with guilt, but the resounding message is clear: Fear is not the boss of you. Let's look at a few highlights: Kristen and Jennifer touched upon a common struggle among women – the reluctance to give themselves permission to go all the way. It's a battle that's less about permission and more about confronting the fear that often lurks at the surface. Many women may inadvertently use their roles as mothers as excuses, feeling guilty about pursuing their entrepreneurial aspirations. The key takeaway is clear: It's impossible to do it all at once, and that's perfectly okay. Before being someone's mom, you were someone. Jennifer encouraged mothers to rediscover and embrace the identity that existed before the journey of motherhood began. The concept of "Entrepreneur Math" comes into play – the strategic art of delegation and prioritization. It's time to question why certain aspects are undervalued and consciously prioritize what truly matters. A common obstacle women face in their entrepreneurial journey is the fear of success. This fear can manifest as self-sabotage and excuses, hindering us from reaching our full potential. Motherhood and business don't have to compete – they can coexist, and by embracing both aspects with intentionality, we can create a life that aligns with our values and aspirations. The entrepreneurship journey intertwined with money, marriage, and motherhood is a multifaceted adventure. It's about breaking the chains of fear, guilt, and self-sabotage. It's about giving ourselves permission to be amazing at both, understanding that something will always have to give, and that's perfectly okay.

190. Victims and Visionaries
In entrepreneurship, the mindset you adopt can be the determining factor between stagnation and success. Kristen introduces listeners to the two distinct mindsets that can shape the trajectory of our entrepreneurial journey. In a compelling "wake up and shake up" episode, she explores the differences between a victim and a visionary and the impact these mindsets will have on your business. Let's look at a few highlights: Victims tend to use the past as a weapon against themselves, beating themselves up over perceived mistakes or missed opportunities. Visionaries, unlike victims, do not allow current circumstances to dictate their outlook. Instead of dwelling on what they lack, they focus on how the work they are doing now will pay off in the future. A significant divergence between victims and visionaries lies in their relationship with the past. Kristen's exploration delves into the concept of learned helplessness, challenging us to question where we might have conditioned ourselves into victimhood. The visionary path is one of resilience, adaptability, and continuous growth. It's about seeing challenges as opportunities for improvement and understanding that the present is a stepping stone to a brighter future. By choosing to be a visionary, cultivating resilience, and learning from the past rather than dwelling in it, you pave the way for business success and a fulfilling and empowered life. The power to shape your narrative lies within your mindset. The choice is yours – will you be a victim or a visionary?

Bonus Episode: Healthy During the Holidays
The holiday season is a time of joy, celebration, and, often, a few extra helpings of our favorite dishes. In this special bonus episode, Kristen welcomes the infamous Ben Olliver, her fitness trainer, to explore the intricacies of maintaining health during the holidays. The conversation kicks off with a discussion on holiday health, where Kristen and Ben candidly share their perspectives on maintaining wellness amidst holiday temptations. This episode becomes a source of inspiration, highlighting the importance of determination and commitment to one's fitness journey, especially during the holidays. Let's look at a few highlights: Ben emphasized the importance of understanding the mentality that accompanies during the holidays. Societal expectations and comparisons can play tricks on our minds, leading to stress and self-doubt. Comparing your health journey to others can be counterproductive. Just because someone else seems to have it easier doesn't diminish the significance of your efforts. The focus should be on maximizing your personal potential rather than trying to emulate someone else's journey. Ben highlighted common mistakes people make, emphasizing the importance of learning your patterns. Building foundational habits and finding a sustainable plan that aligns with your lifestyle are key elements in achieving long-term success. Finding a plan that you can commit to everyday lays the foundation for lasting change. As Kristen and Ben delved into the complexities of a fitness journey, the overarching theme was clear – your journey is uniquely yours. Embrace the challenges, work on your mindset, and focus on building sustainable habits. This holiday season, let your progress be a celebration of your journey towards a healthier, happier you.

189. Consistency vs. Perfection
Many of us find ourselves uttering phrases like, "I'm not consistent enough with..." This sentiment is a common hurdle when forming new habits or accomplishing goals. The challenge often lies in how we define and approach consistency. Are we setting ourselves up for success, or are we unknowingly sabotaging our efforts? In today's episode, Kristen explores one of the major pitfalls in pursuing consistency: the intrusion of perfectionism. She challenges you to shift your mindset and change your relationship with consistency. Let's look at a few highlights: Instead of viewing consistency as a gradual effort over time, many perceive it as an all-or-nothing endeavor. You might be using the desire for perfection as an excuse. This mindset shift from "keep going" to "start over" can hinder progress and lead to frustration. Instead of aiming for perfection, consider what percentage of your goal you can realistically achieve each day. Perfectionism often stems from an all-or-nothing mentality, allowing for zero flexibility. Challenge this mindset by acknowledging that progress is progress, regardless of perfection. Aim for the 8/20 rule, understanding that imperfections are part of the journey. Rather than fixating on perfect execution, embrace the power of progress. Remember, it's not about starting over; it's about continuously reminding yourself to keep going. Embrace the imperfect journey, celebrate the victories, and unlock the transformative potential of consistent and intentional effort.

188. The Tale of Two Trees
Have you ever thought about how trimming trees relates to running a business? Kristen got us all thinking after chatting about tree pruning and uncovering surprising similarities between this necessary job and how we shape our businesses. This talk led to some eye-opening discussions, linking the process of pruning to smart business strategies and offering valuable lessons for everyone aiming to grow professionally. Kristen's story about two trees holds invaluable lessons about pruning and the transformative power of speaking life into seemingly challenging situations. These lessons extend far beyond the realm of horticulture, offering profound insights applicable to our daily lives. Let's look at a few highlights: The idea of 'cutting off things that look like they're working' might seem counterintuitive, yet it's a critical aspect of growth. It prompts us to consider what serves our present needs and what might hinder our future selves. The pruning season might be discomforting, but it's an integral part of the growth process—a process that nurtures stronger, enduring, and ultimately more fruitful outcomes. Kristen emphasizes the need to reframe our perspective on the phase we're in. It's not just the victorious seasons that define us; instead, it's our ability to navigate and grow through the challenging times that truly shape us. It's a reminder that by speaking life into our endeavors, exercising patience, and consistently putting in the effort, we have the capacity to build something that lasts—a testament to the power of intentional growth and nurturing. The crucial takeaway is about persevering and speaking positivity into our efforts. It's a lesson in patience, self-care, and the understanding that growth takes time. Much like trees go through the pruning stages, we must make hard decisions, persevere through challenges, and have the patience to nurture what we are building.

187. The Push/Pull Relationship
We often talk about the "why" behind our business, but do we take it seriously enough? Without a compelling reason to pursue your vision, it can feel like a chore. Your "why" is the fuel that keeps you going, even when things get tough. It's the emotional connection to your vision that makes it more than just a distant goal. Kristen goes deeper into the importance of establishing your vision and its direct correlation to the push-and-pull dynamic. When the daily grind begins to feel exhausting and pointless, it's time to sit down with your future and your vision. To make your vision a reality, you need to be willing to invest in yourself. This means not only investing time and effort but also aligning your desires and priorities with your vision. Let's look at a few highlights: A well-thought-out vision is more than just a vague idea of what you want to achieve. It's a clear and detailed picture of your desired future, something that resonates with you on a deep level. When you find yourself grinding every day, feeling exhausted, and questioning the purpose of your efforts, it's time to sit down and reevaluate your emotional connection to your why. It's not just about marrying the vision; you must also marry the workload commitment. Are you willing to invest in yourself, both in terms of time and energy? How serious are you about making your vision a reality? If you find yourself in a constant state of push, it's time to revisit your vision, connect with it emotionally, and assess your commitment to the workload. By aligning your desires and priorities with your vision, you can shift from daily exhaustion to meaningful, purpose-driven action. So, ask yourself: "How serious am I about making my vision a reality?"

186. Body Positivity + Anti-Hustle
Many of us constantly struggle to balance self-acceptance and self-improvement in a world flooded with body standards, diet culture, and societal pressures. The battle between body positivity and the idea of hustling for a better version of ourselves can be a sensitive and complex one. Today's episode is an invitation to Kristen's journey and how you might be thinking about these two philosophies. Let's look at a few highlights: Kristen shares how the endless chase for an ideal body meant she often neglected her actual health needs. The insidious diet culture had her trapped in a cycle of self-loathing. She was led to believe that loving yourself meant staying stagnant, and any desire to change was an act of self-hate. Body positivity is not a free pass to neglect one's health. Anti-hustle is not an escape from hard work. Acknowledging that just because something feels uncomfortable doesn't mean it's hustle, and we can't walk away. In any endeavor, if you want to build something sustainable, you will have to work hard. Balancing these philosophies means recognizing that we can treasure our bodies and self-worth while striving for improvement. It's a journey of discovering that loving oneself should never be an excuse for complacency. That hard work is often the path to a healthier, happier, more authentic life. So, let's look at our habits, address the areas where we've made excuses, and make the changes necessary to achieve actual, sustainable results.

184. 10x is Easier than 2x with Dr. Benjamin Hardy
In the world of personal and professional development, the pursuit of exponential growth and success is a common goal. But how do we truly achieve it? In a captivating discussion, Kristen is joined by Dr. Benjamin Hardy to explore the profound concept of 10X growth and its transformative power in entrepreneurship. This thought-provoking conversation will give listeners invaluable insights into how exponential growth can be achieved by focusing on quality over quantity. Listen as Kristen and Ben talk about: The concept of 10X growth challenges our conventional understanding. It's not just about achieving ten times more of what we already have; it's a profound shift in mindset and strategy. 10x is about delivering exceptional results, producing high-value work, and creating outstanding experiences. You must focus on expanding what he defines as your four most important freedoms – time, money, relationships, and purpose. 10X doesn't mean relentless hustle. It's also about recognizing when to rest, rejuvenate, and recharge. A well-rested mind and body are essential for maintaining your mindset and sustaining exponential growth. As you let your future self shape your present actions and choices, you'll discover that 10X is a path to lasting success, fulfillment, and impact in all aspects of your life and business. Embrace the 10X mindset, and watch your life unfold in unexpected ways.

183. The Dopamine Problem
In today's world, we've grown accustomed to instant gratification. With just a click or a tap, we can access answers to our questions, order products for same-day delivery, and receive immediate feedback on our actions. This convenience, while undoubtedly beneficial in many ways, has created a society that is dopamine-dependent, and it's profoundly influencing behavior, particularly in the realms of business and personal development. We crave the quick fix, the instant result, the satisfaction of a click or a swipe. This dependence on dopamine has significant consequences, particularly when it comes to our aspirations and goals. In today's episode, Kristen dives into how this dopamine dependency can play a role in your business. Let's look at a few highlights: There's no such thing as a one-click business or an overnight success. However, the allure of instant gratification often distracts us from the path of patience and perseverance. We want instant results, and we want them overnight. Marketers are well aware of this tendency, and they often cater to our desire for quick wins and immediate satisfaction. Adopting a delayed gratification mindset involves the discipline to work steadily toward a goal, even if the rewards are not immediate. To truly achieve our goals and build lasting legacies or businesses, we must embrace delayed gratification, cultivate discipline, and be prepared to weather the storms that come our way. In our pursuit of personal and professional growth, we must remember that the most substantial achievements often come from enduring the journey and being prepared for both the highs and lows along the way.

182. Content Entitlement
The content we consume and create on social media platforms has become an integral part of our daily lives. We are constantly bombarded with content from all corners of the internet. Whether we are the creators or the consumers of this content, there are two distinct categories that many of us find ourselves falling into. In today's episode, Kristen unpacks creator content entitlement and consumer entitlement. These categories often lead to frustration and unmet expectations, but with a mindset shift, we can find a newfound approach to content creation and consumption. Let's look at a few highlights: Content creators often crave validation through likes, follows, and shares, which can sometimes breed a sense of entitlement. Success in content creation requires patience. Consistency, quality, and quantity are vital, but instant success is rare. Embrace a giving mentality on social platforms. Engage with others' content just as you'd like them to engage with yours. It's a mutually beneficial approach. We often expect free access to content, from advice to entertainment. While this expectation isn't inherently wrong, it can promote passive consumption without reciprocation. Content entitlement comes in two forms, and it's crucial to recognize which category you might fall into. Whether you're a content creator or a consumer, clarity in how you use, create, and consume content is essential. Reframing your mindset, understanding the effort required, and fostering a culture of support rather than entitlement can lead to a more meaningful social media experience.

181. The Bridge of Consumer Trust
Social media serves as a vital tool in the realm of social selling. Still, it frequently raises questions among social sellers about the optimal strategies and how to navigate the constantly shifting terrain. Social selling is more than just offering products—it's about constructing a sturdy bridge of trust. Kristin explores the essential strategies and invaluable insights that can pave your way to success and ultimately impact your social selling business through the power of social media. Let's look at a few highlights: It's not just about selling but building a relationship based on trust and credibility. One common mistake in social selling is focusing solely on your products. Trust goes beyond that. It's about positioning yourself as a reliable source of information and assistance. Share your knowledge, experiences, and insights. Trust isn't given; it's earned. Multiple referrals are your path to building trust. One good referral sets the bar for your credibility. When customers have a positive experience, they return again and again. Offer solutions to problems, share valuable content, and engage in meaningful conversations. Social selling is about more than products; it's about building trust. By focusing on converting, engaging, and sharing valuable content, offering examples, and leveraging the power of referrals, you'll build a bridge of consumer trust that strengthens your relationship with your audience. Trust is the currency of social selling, and with patience and authenticity, you can watch your social selling business thrive.

180. Unlikely Places
During a recent walk, Kristen came to a profound realization as she stumbled upon a flower pushing through a crack in the concrete. This flower persevered against all odds, and it got Kristen thinking about the remarkable places, especially in her business journey, where she's experienced growth against all expectations. Like that resilient flower, our personal and professional growth often emerges from the most unlikely circumstances. Consider the moments in your life, especially in your business, where you've experienced significant growth in unexpected circumstances. These are the times when you discover your inner strength and tenacity, breaking through barriers that might have seemed impossible. In today's episode, Kristen: Challenges you to think about the environments that try to stifle our progress and ask yourself a crucial question: What aspects of our circumstances can we control and change?

179. Going Alone
In life, especially in entrepreneurship, we often face the challenging question: "How do you keep going when your friends and family don't support what you're doing?" It's a question that resonates with many of us at various points in our journeys. We feel like nobody is cheering for us, and there is no one in our corner. It can be an isolating experience, but it doesn't mean you're truly alone. Let's look at a few highlights: When you choose growth, you attract those who value growth just as much as you do. You have the power to choose the kind of life you want to lead, and sometimes that means going it alone. If you surround yourself with people who adopt a victim mentality, you'll find it challenging to break free from that mindset. Ultimately, the decision to go after your dreams, even when it feels like you're going alone, is a choice to live a life of growth. Embrace the journey of going alone because, in doing so, you open yourself up to the extraordinary life you deserve. You might spend your energy trying to convince others of the validity of your dream. You're exhausting yourself, attempting to gain support and validation from those around you.
