139. Macro to Micro Nov 28, 2022

Show notes

As an entrepreneur, you’ll go through many seasons with your business. And as you pass through these seasons, you’ll find yourself needing to make some adjustments to up-level your effectiveness. You might be thinking that we’re talking about big, life-changing adjustments. But actually - it’s those little tweaks that make a bigger impact on how you show up.

These adjustments are what Kristen calls micro habits, and in this episode, she’s going to explain how going from macro to micro can bring big results.

Here’s what she’s talking about:

Why it’s important to work during your personal peak performance hours
Definition of macro habits and how they are different from micro habits
The undeniable benefits of regular self-care
How making small adjustments with momentum can alter your course
Why stagnation of routine can lead to stagnation of growth

No matter how big or small your business is - you’ve got to adjust your daily habits to ensure that you continue to grow. Look at the gap between your habits as they are now and the outcome you want, and then see what adjustments you can make in order to reach those goals.

138. Toxic Thoughts Nov 21, 2022

Show notes

Way back in episode seven, Kristen talked about success thoughts, and as it remains the most popular episode to date - she decided to do part two. Except this time around, she’ll be walking through the thoughts that can cause you to stall out and keep you from moving forward in your business.

This episode is about toxic thoughts and how they can sabotage progress before you even start. Just like the saying, one bad apple ruins the bunch - one toxic thought can get in your way of creating the outcomes you’ve been working so hard for.

Here’s what you can learn:

The top 7 toxic thoughts that might be stalling your progress
Why it’s essential to look for evidence to support your thoughts - good and bad
Alternative thoughts and actions you can use to help combat toxic thoughts
Why the fear of being uncomfortable is at the core of most negative thoughts

Instead of diving head first into negative thought territory - first get clear on the facts. So many of our negative and toxic thoughts are based on stories that we tell ourselves and not on real data. Be honest with yourself and watch those toxic thoughts melt away.

137. Time Inventory Nov 14, 2022

Show notes

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. And it helps you get ultra-specific about how much time you truly spend on important tasks. And how much time you’re really just wasting.

Here’s what you can learn in this episode:

Kristen’s strategy for beating procrastination and the anxiety that accompanies it
Why it’s important to assign and designate your time
The difference between being busy and being productive
The importance of allowing yourself grace when working toward breaking bad habits

Being purposeful with your time can seem difficult at first. 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. Having hard facts in front of you should help to limit the stories you tell yourself when you feel stressed out over a lack of time.

136. Why People Fail with Jeff Lerner Nov 07, 2022

Show notes

Does the thought of leaving the perceived safety of your 9-5 to become an entrepreneur scare the life out of you? If the fear of failure is holding you back, then today’s episode might help by shedding some light on a few common misconceptions about the risks of becoming a business owner.

This week on the podcast, Kristen is talking about why people fail in the entrepreneurial space with the author of Unlocking Your Potential, Jeff Lerner. From humble beginnings, Jeff started as a broke jazz musician and now builds 8 and 9-figure businesses. So when it comes to separating the good from the great in business and knowing how to set yourself up for success, he knows a thing or two.

Here’s what they’re talking about:

Why Jeff believes employment is riskier than entrepreneurship
Explanation of the time-money trade and why it might sabotage your growth
Learning to become comfortable with risk
How self-esteem plays a part in your success (or failure)
The pitfalls of people pleasing in business

Success doesn’t come from learning how to create the perfect offer or the perfect Facebook Ad. It comes from investing in skills and personal development needed in order to grow not only your bottom line but also your confidence.

135. Audience Fatigue Oct 31, 2022

Show notes

When you’re not hitting your sales goals, you might think there’s something wrong with either your offer or your marketing. But what so many people fail to realize is that sometimes (a lot of times, actually), the problem isn’t in your messaging or even in your product. The problem is your audience.

Oversaturing your audience can create what Kristen terms “audience fatigue” and could quite possibly be what’s smothering your growth. Lead generation wants a seat at your table, and it’s time you think about how implementing an audience growth strategy can help you meet those sales goals.

Listen in as Kristen goes over:

An explanation of the Law of Diminishing Returns and how it could be affecting your bottom line
How to recognize when your audience might be on the brink of becoming fatigued
Why lead generation is vital for those in a party-based business model
How you can use organic marketing (no paid ads) to grow your audience
What happens when audience fatigue creates scarcity

Audience fatigue can create a whole host of problems. But the biggest issue might be that you don’t recognize that it’s even a problem. Instead of panicking and thinking about switching companies or changing up your offers - think about lead generation instead and how having fresh eyes on your current offer might help your bottom line across the board. Nothing is wrong with your marketing. The problem lies in audience growth.

134. The Easy/Hard Paradox Oct 24, 2022

Show notes

Instant gratification is great and all, but what if we told you that it might be the reason you’re not reaching your goals? Choosing the easy path in business (and in your personal life) can set you up for failure. What your brain sees as the easy choice: putting off reaching out to new leads, taking a nap instead of hitting the gym, or simply ignoring your inbox; results in getting nothing done, and you’re just left feeling frustrated and defeated.

Kristen is here this week to shake things up a bit by explaining why what you THINK is easy is actually hard and what you see as hard is actually easy. It’s what she’s termed the easy/hard paradox, and it could be the key to setting you on the path to success.

Listen in as she goes over these key points:

When choosing what is easy turns into hard
How deferring the hard compounds and creates even harder stuff later
What really happens when you do the hard stuff today
How restraint and delayed gratification can create financial freedom
The day of reckoning that every entrepreneur faces

Of course, it’s hard to get back in the saddle. But choosing the hard stuff now will create an easier path for you later on. Instead of looking for ways to get away with the bare minimum - reevaluate and try to envision how it will affect you one year, two years - even five years down the road. Then you’ll see that delaying those hard decisions will only make it harder for you to get the results you came for.

133. When it Gets Hard Oct 17, 2022

Show notes

We all know that owning a business comes with growing pains. And there’s this myth that those hard patches end once you’ve gotten through the beginner phase. But that’s often not the case. Hard seasons come and go throughout your tenure as a CEO and business owner, and being unprepared for those seasons can leave you struggling to keep pushing.

In this week’s episode, Kristen is talking about what to do when it gets hard and how the thoughts you have about those hard seasons can either crush you or move you forward.

Here are a few highlights:

Why you must make the decision to lean into the difficult
Mindset - what are you making the hard season mean
The importance of reflecting back on your why
Kristen's own struggles with growth through difficult times

This episode isn’t meant to discourage you. Quite the opposite. Being an entrepreneur comes with risk and heartbreak and all other sorts of hard stuff. But it can also be the most rewarding ‘career’ you’ve ever had. Being prepared for what’s ahead and leaning into the hard instead of ignoring it or waiting it out can bolster your confidence and help you decide how your hard season is going to look.

131. Embracing Your Feels Oct 03, 2022

Show notes

Have you ever said “I don’t have feelings” or “I’m not a cryer”? Newsflash: we all have feelings, but some of us are better at avoiding, hiding, and running away from them than others. Learning the important skill of feeling your feelings is imperative if you want to grow yourself as a person and a successful business owner.

Yes, you can have big business success by avoiding your feelings and “just getting down to work.” But you will inevitably hit a ceiling or threshold and your business will level out. The people hitting massive goals in their life are the ones feeling massive feelings.

Listen in for more:

Understanding what happens when we avoid feeling uncomfortable or painful feelings
How to build trust in ourselves that we can survive any emotion
How feeling your feelings is the catalyst to major growth
Understanding that the level of willingness to to lean into negative feelings correlates to the level of success you will have
What happens when we learn to feel and practice unpleasant feelings ahead of time

When we shut down our emotions, we shut down our growth. Period. You must practice creating safety to understand all of the parts of your humanness-including your emotions. This will allow for growth in your personal development and your business goals.

130. The Result Ratio Sep 26, 2022

Show notes

We’ve all uttered the words, “there are only so many hours in a day.” When the day ends, and you look back over what you’ve accomplished in a 24-hour span, it might be discouraging to see so much effort being put into your business with such little return. And you might begin thinking that it just isn’t worth it anymore.

But have you ever paid attention to what it is that’s actually taking up all of your time? Are you researching endlessly before putting yourself (and your business) out there? Are you consuming more content than you’re creating? If so, then you might want to check your result ratio.

This week on the podcast, Kristen is discussing the concept of the result ratio and how it can help you to monitor your efforts in growing your business. Listen in as she goes over these key points:

Kristen’s definition of the result ratio
Why advice is always theory until you apply it to your own business
How your consumption vs. creation ratio might be negatively affecting your business
Why research isn’t a shortcut to growing your business
How to measure and monitor your result ratio

At the end of the day, you want to be able to look back and know that you’re adding to the enrichment of your life and business. Instead of drowning in research - it’s time to get out there and apply those theories in the real world. You won’t grow until you do the work. Failure isn’t forever. Failure is a stepping stone on the way to your goal.
