157. Recruitment Blocks Apr 03, 2023

Show notes

The number one problem facing most social sellers isn’t a lack of sales. It’s a lack of recruitment skills. Even if you have zero issues selling your product, sometimes the thing that trips you up the most is selling the business. And learning to understand why this happens is the key to fixing it so you can start building your team.

In this episode, Kristen is talking about recruitment blocks so you can get a better understanding of what’s holding you back. So grab a pen and paper because you’re going to want to write everything down!

Here are a few highlights:

Top reasons why people struggle with recruitment
The importance of building relationships when recruiting
How to recognize the builders that might be hiding in your audience
Why your messaging might be to blame for a lack of quality recruits
The power of overcoming objections

Regardless of whether you call it network marketing or social selling, this business model is based on building relationships and being social. Follow the ABCs: Always be connecting. You can’t just make a post and expect potential builders to start falling at your feet. Engage with intention, build authentic relationships, and before you know it, you’ll start bringing in people who are looking for exactly what you’re offering.

156. The Mindset of Consistency Mar 27, 2023

Show notes

One of our favorite things to talk about here on the podcast is the magic of consistency. Now - we’re not talking about the overnight success type of magic. Actually, quite the opposite. Consistency is the type of magic that happens when you least expect it. And while Kristen knows the difficulty that comes with staying consistent, she’s here to tell you one more time about how beneficial it can be to your business.

In this episode, Kristen is talking about the mindset of consistency and how certain thoughts can derail your success at every turn. But the good news is that once you’re able to recognize the thought patterns that are keeping you down, you’ll have an easier rise to the top.

Listen in as Kristen goes over these key topics:

Why consistency breeds quality
How consistency can help build trust with your audience
The biggest lie we tell ourselves as entrepreneurs
An explanation of the 80/20 and where your results come in
Learning to be comfortable with delayed gratification

A lack of consistency is the number one reason why people fail to see results in their businesses. From building trust with your audience to building self-discipline, consistency is the foundation on which your business is built. The best part is that anyone can do it. All you have to do is get started and keep going.

155. Prevent Social Media Burnout Mar 20, 2023

Show notes

Scrolling social media is the ultimate way to veg out and escape for a few moments. But what happens when you take something you once enjoyed during your free time and tie it to your livelihood? Preventing social media burnout is essential to growing your business. If you dread logging on to Instagram - take a listen to what Kristen is talking about in this episode.

Here’s what you can learn from Kristen this week:

Are you consuming or creating? The importance of setting intentions every time you open a social media app
How to become efficient when scrolling
Potential benefits of not checking your phone as soon as you wake up
Ways to repurpose your content that can help prevent burnout
Approaching your content from the perspective of serving your audience can reframe your entire relationship with your feed

Chasing likes will only bring you stress. Creating content and engaging with your audience with the sole purpose of serving them can take the pressure off and allow you to start to enjoy this part of your business again. Instead of asking how many followers did I gain today - ask yourself, ‘What can I give to my audience today?’ This simple step can make all the difference in how you show up.

154. Building a Life You Love with Graham Cochrane Mar 13, 2023

Show notes

“Go early and ugly,” is just one of the many gems that Kristen’s guest, Graham Cochrane, shares in this week’s conversation. He was once a struggling artist who started a side hustle to support his dream (and family) that he grew into multiple multi-million dollar businesses: by going early and ugly. Listen in as Kristen and Graham dive into this concept and discuss so many other nuggets including:

How to build a business that serves your life and not the other way around and
Ask yourself what are people already asking me to help them with (in real life and online)?
The most important asset you should be cultivating when you start a business
The fastest way to monetize your idea when you’re first starting out
Why you should make a list of ‘what would be nice’ about your life when you run your business. Even if not everything on the list is attainable now, you’ll know what you’re working towards.
How to get paid to do research on what your ideal customer wants and needs
Why a number in your bank account will never be able to make you feel safe and secure

Don’t miss this lively and strategy packed interview. You CAN build the business without sacrificing your family and your health.

153. Grace and Grit with Robin Long Mar 06, 2023

Show notes

If you’ve hung around this podcast long enough, then you’ve probably heard Kristen mention (on more than one occasion) the parallels between sustainable practices in business and in health. The diet analogy is one of her favorites because of how relatable it is. But even so, it can still be hard to see that the same habits you use to improve your health are the same habits you can use to grow your business.

And that’s why Kristen has brought on her friend and fellow entrepreneur, Robin Long, to talk about the grace and grit it takes to build and grow - not just a healthy lifestyle, but a successful business. Robin is the Founder and CEO of Lindywell, a top-rated Pilates group, and believes in an anti-hustle approach to better fitness and better health.

Jump in to hear these highlights and more:

Robin’s journey on the path to sustainable healthy habits
Tips for growing out of that awkward beginner's stage of owning a business
The importance of choosing grace over guilt
The only secret formula needed to succeed is consistency
Where compassion comes in when creating new habits

The road to success is hard. And it’s going to be full of detours. Allowing yourself grace instead of shame or guilt over setbacks is essential to your growth. Rome wasn’t built in a day. So expecting instant results when just starting to build new habits will only hurt your growth.

If you’d like to stay up to date with Robin and get workout inspiration, you can follow her on Instagram @wearelindy.

And if you’re interested in creating new healthy habits, Robin is starting a new 14-Day Strong Body, Calm Mind Pilates + Breathwork Challenge on March 13th and runs through March 26th. All levels are welcome! You can sign up for the challenge here: www.lindywell.com/freetrial. New members can unlock one month free when they sign up for the challenge by March 13th.

152. Do Less + Make More with Kate Northrup Feb 27, 2023

Show notes

If you’re constantly busy, then you’re obviously getting a lot done, right? Right?! Well - hate to break the bad news, but just because your calendar is full and you feel frazzled all the time doesn’t mean you’re being productive.

The good news is that there is a way to do less while still making money. Possibly even more money than you’re making now. And it’s not some secret hack that only the most successful people know about. Do Less is the newest book by entrepreneur and bestselling author Kate Northrup, and Kristen’s conversation with Kate in this episode is eye-opening on so many levels.

So if you’re looking for a way to free up time while increasing your productivity, you’ll want to listen in:

Exploring the 80/20 rule in your business
Kristen’s explanation of Productive Procrastination
Importance of being brutally honest with where your time truly goes
How to avoid lifestyle inflation and still attract business builders
Where rest comes into the equation in how you show up on social media

Reframing how your brain perceives rest is a worthy endeavor. Just like with growing nutritious crops - you need a period of rest in order to be your most productive self. Step back. Take a deep breath. Live in the moment. Then come back and smash those goals.

If you’d like to stay in the know with what Kate is doing next, you can follow her on Instagram at @katenorthrup. And if you want to pick up her Business Pressure Relief Kit, visit theorigincompany.co/strategies.

151. "That Sucked. Now What?" with Neeta Bhushan Feb 20, 2023

Show notes

As women in business, we’ve often felt the stigma that showing emotions = weakness. With the emergence of so many powerful women in leadership roles both in corporate settings as well as entrepreneurial roles, it’s time to lay that stigma to rest.

There’s a new era of businesswomen - and they’re not afraid to show their emotions. Which is why Kristen is speaking with fellow author and business owner Neeta Bhushan. Neeta’s new book That Sucked. Now What? focuses on emotional growth and how to find the magic within the chaos that is life.

Here are a few key notes you won’t want to miss:

Neeta’s story of hitting rock bottom - a cautionary tale, so you don’t have to
How refusing to feel emotions can keep you from healing
Importance of removing judgment
Why people-pleasing can hold you back from emotional growth
Lessons we can learn from toddlers and their emotional outbursts

As Neeta says, it’s the greatest liberation - to feel our feelings. When you dumb down your emotional responses, you’re doing yourself a great disservice. Give yourself permission to work through those feelings. Embrace them - and use them as a guide to get to the next level.

Neeta’s new book, That Sucked. Now What?, Is on shelves now! To get your copy, go to: thatsuckednowwhat.com and be sure to pick up your bonus companion guide! You can also follow Neeta on Instagram: @neetabhushan

150. Two Weeks Notice with Amy Porterfield Feb 13, 2023

Show notes

We’ve all dreamt of a time when we get to call the shots and have the freedom that only comes with running our own successful business. But what happens when you try to turn that dream into a reality? The logistics alone can leave you frustrated before you’ve even created your first vision board. And don’t even get started on finding the right time to leave your 9-5.

If these are the types of thoughts that keep you up at night, then we have just the thing. Kristen welcomes online marketing expert, digital media guru, and fellow author, Amy Porterfield, to talk about her new book Two Weeks Notice. In her new book, Amy speaks about finding the courage to quit your job, make more money, work where you want, and change the world.

Here are a few highlights from their conversation:

Addressing the resentment towards your 9-5 while looking for an escape route
How to know when you’re ready to leave
Explanation of the “Un-bossing Yourself” concept
The importance of guarding your dreams
How to find your sweet spot for creating a business

Moving on to the next thing is a scary time, but it doesn’t have to be. You can create the life you love without the hustle. And in this economy, there couldn’t be a better time to spread your wings. After all, you never know where it will lead you until you get started.

Amy’s new book, Two Weeks Notice, will hit the shelves on February 21st. If you’d like to pre-order, be sure to check out www.twoweeksnoticebook.com, where she offers bonus materials to complement the book and help you turn your dream into a reality.

149. The Next Big Thing Feb 06, 2023

Show notes

After hearing the pleas from social sellers around the globe about the need for quality leadership training - Kristen is finally able to spill the tea about the next big thing. And we mean big. HUGE!

Up until now, the only way you could have access to an in-person training with Kristen was if your company hired her as a keynote speaker. And even then, it would only be one hour of content.

OR

You would have had to be a 6-7 figure earner in your network marketing company and paid upwards of $20,000 to be a part of the live event happening inside the Mastermind.

UNTIL NOW.

ANNOUNCING OUR FIRST LIVE IN-PERSON EVENT:

The Rising Leader Summit: A 2-DAY IN-PERSON IMMERSIVE TRAINING EXPERIENCE.

As many of you know, Kristen retired the 6-7 Figure Earner Mastermind.

One of the core values of Kristen Boss Coaching, Inc. is accessibility and inclusivity. And by having an “elite mastermind,” we were unintentionally creating a space that felt inaccessible to so many aspiring and hungry leaders.

After coaching more than a hundred and fifty 6-7 figure earners, Kristen realized that a lot of the “leadership messes” that were in need of cleaning up were because of poor habits or a lack of leadership that could have been instilled MUCH earlier in people’s social selling career.

So Kristen decided: The paywall MUST come down.

The LIVE EVENT that has historically been exclusive to 6-7 figure earners is now AVAILABLE to anyone who is hungry and willing and desires to step into higher levels of leadership.

THE RISING LEADER SUMMIT is a two-day live event training that will be deeply transformational, immersive, and educational.

WHERE: DENVER, COLORADO

WHEN: APRIL 14-15

CAPACITY: 1,000 in-person spots (When they are gone, they are GONE)

Kristen’s promise: You will NOT LEAVE THE SAME PERSON.

Get ready for the Live Event.

148. Leader Shame Jan 30, 2023

Show notes

Being a leader can be a tough gig. Especially if you feel like you don’t deserve to be in that position. But what is it that makes you think that you’re unworthy of the title? These feelings of unworthiness can manifest into thoughts like ‘If I were a better leader, my team member wouldn’t have left,’ or ‘If I knew how to talk to my team, then their sales numbers would be better.’ And those kinds of thoughts just aren’t serving you.

That’s why Kristen is here to talk about leader shame and the effect it can have on not only your business and team but also in how you show up in your personal life.

Listen in as she goes over these key points:

What a leader IS NOT
Growing through your journey as a leader alongside your team
Definition of shame and how it affects your leadership
A strategy on how to move through leader shame
How removing judgment can and will make room for acceptance

You’re human. And like all humans, you’re going to make mistakes. Not all leaders are perfect, so there’s no reason to expect perfection from yourself. The next time you feel unworthy of being a leader - try looking through the lens of self-compassion and have kindness for yourself and the journey you’re on.
