129. The 90 Day Agreement Sep 19, 2022

Show notes

The last quarter of the year is upon us. Not only is it the busiest season of the year, it’s also the last chance to check off any goals you might have set back in January. If you’re left with a goal (or several) that you’ve been slowly hacking away at or maybe too scared even to get started - Now is the time to kick it into gear before another year is gone, and you’re left with the same unmet goals as before.

And that’s why Kristen is here this week to talk about how to set yourself and your business up for success before time runs out. Instead of aiming your sights on a goal, perhaps what’s needed is to enter into an agreement with yourself. Specifically a 90 Day Agreement.

Let’s look at a few details:

The difference between a goal and an agreement
Why 90 days should be the minimum time commitment to see results
Understanding why your brain is fighting your progress and how to overcome those thoughts
Motivation - why it isn’t always enough to keep you going

Before you hang your hat and declare this year a wash - take a bold step and commit to these last 90 days. You’ll never know until you truly try, and wouldn’t it be glorious to make some progress leading into next year? Momentum is real and you have it within yourself.

128. Build for Tomorrow with Jason Feifer Sep 12, 2022

Show notes

If you were one of the many network marketers who grew explosively during the pandemic, only to be dropped back down to earth once things got back to ‘normal,’ then this episode is for you. This week Kristen welcomes the editor-in-chief of Entrepreneur magazine, podcast host, and author of the new book “Build for Tomorrow,” Jason Feifer.

Jason’s here to talk with us about adaptability in the face of adversity and how learning to get curious can lead to growth. Strap in as they talk about these key points:

How “reconsidering the impossible” in your business can be an opportunity for growth
What happens when you assign success to circumstances and luck
Jason shares an exercise to help zone into your identity and mission as a business owner
Explanation of the concept of horizontal thinking and vertical thinking

Change is inevitable. And learning to adapt to the current business landscape is essential. If we gained anything from the past two years, it's the knowledge that using adversity as a stepping stone to innovation can lead to growth in areas you didn’t know were possible. So next time you’re panicked over a downturn in this post-pandemic world, get curious and see where those changes take you.

127. Codependent Accountability Sep 05, 2022

Show notes

Keeping yourself motivated and on track to reach your goals is hard. Whether your goal is to lose weight or hit that next rank in your business, it can be easy to lose sight of the finish line when things get rough. This is why so many people look outside of themselves for accountability. It can be the fun and excitement of meal planning and prepping or buying all the pens and stickers to go with your new planner. The real truth is that in the end - nothing and no one can hold you accountable but you.

The practice of outsourcing your motivation is what Kristen calls codependent accountability, and it’s something we’ve probably all done in the past. But she’s here to explain why it might not be the best thing if you truly want to reach those goals.

Listen in as she goes over these topics:

How to know if you’re crowdsourcing your motivation and accountability
The importance of being emotionally connected to your why
Kristen’s personal journey with health and wellness and how she keeps her motivation in check
Why focusing on small wins can help keep you on track

Learning to be accountable for your own goals isn’t going to happen overnight. It’s a skill you have to learn, and there are sure to be bumps along the way. Remember to give yourself grace and allow for a few missteps. Eventually, you’ll get to where you want to be. Just remember why you’re on the journey in the first place.

126. Passive vs. Active Selling Aug 29, 2022

Show notes

No one ever said network marketing was going to be easy. But some people in this industry think that by just setting up a website and building a funnel, they’ll have to fight off new customers with a stick. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. When you’re first starting out, your number one job is to generate revenue. You can’t sit around expecting people to show up on their own.

These are actually two totally different selling types known as active and passive selling. And this week, Kristen is going to explain to you where each type of selling fits in based on where you are in your business.

Here are a few takeaways:

Run down of the differences between passive and active selling
What happens when you jump into passive selling too soon in your business
Examples of active selling that can get you back into practice
The importance of engagement with your audience in the active selling phase
How to know when it’s time to move into passive selling

If you’re in the early phases of your business or not yet meeting your revenue goal, it can be tempting to jump the gun into the passive selling phase. But the easiest way to get where you want to be is to ramp up your active selling. Engaging with your audience in an authentic way will grow your audience and, eventually, your bottom line. Stay consistent, friends!

125. Reel Talk with Brock Johnson Aug 22, 2022

Show notes

Does Instagram still seem like a mystery to you? With all the recent changes to the algorithm that rewards more views to video content over static images, it’s left the social selling industry in flux, not knowing what the next best move is. And that’s where our guest, Brock Johnson, comes in.

Brock rocketed to a 7-figure income by the age of 25 using social media, and here’s here this week with Kristen to dish about all things Instagram growth. Brock grew his IG account by 400k+ in a matter of months organically and sustainably and now teaches others how to do the same.

Here’s what they’re talking about this week:

Why it’s not too late to jump into doing reels
How to nix your niche drama (and it’s easier than you think!)
The important distinction between fans and followers
How having a smaller following can give you an advantage with engagement
Ways to protect your time and energy from falling into content creator burnout
What to do when the haters inevitably show up

The verdict is in: perfectly curated profiles are out, while authentic and genuine are in. Instagram doesn’t have to be scary. Commit to doing the work consistently and imperfectly, and you will see growth. Not just unengaged followers but fans who want to get to know you and trust your authority.

124. Impractically Perfect Aug 15, 2022

Show notes

Some people wear their perfectionist title like a badge of honor. Spending time and energy to get all the tiny details just right. But when it comes to growing your business and, more importantly, growing your paycheck, trying to be perfect could be what’s holding you back.

In this week’s episode, Kristen talks about why perfectionism causes what she calls ‘analysis paralysis’ and what to do about it.

Here are a few key points:

Understanding what happens when you’re caught in a perfection loop
Why failure is a necessary step in growing your business
How perfectionism creates an all-or-nothing mindset
What messy progress can do for growth

Striving for perfection doesn’t sound like a bad thing in theory. And it isn’t always. But when you’re stuck overthinking and overanalyzing every small detail of your business, that's when the problem arises. Feeling like you have to be perfect creates a heavy burden that you just don’t have to bear. Practice doesn’t always make perfect, but it does make progress.

123. Expectations vs. Reality of Growth with Beka and Laura Aug 10, 2022

Show notes

Finding and implementing the next best “strategy” or “tip” isn’t the secret to growing your business. It’s never about finding out what’s working for someone else. Success is an inside job. Today’s guests on the podcast, mastermind members Beka and Laura, are sharing their personal experiences around this exact concept and how their expectations were exceeded, but in a very different way.

Here are a few highlights:

The myth that speed is the only way to success
The massive shifts experienced outside of their business since joining the mastermind
How they learned to trust themselves and not look to others to help make decisions
Why they had to stop measuring a year’s journey in a 6-month time frame
How mastermind members learn to untie their value and self-worth from their business results and use those results as data and information to make CEO decisions instead
Their expectations of getting ‘tips and tricks’ from the mastermind vs. what they really got when they joined.

Kristen teaches high level concepts in her Purpose & Profit mastermind that will change your business, but it’s the focus on the whole of the person when members join that helps them transform their lives, relationships, and businesses. That’s what differentiates the mastermind from anything else on the market for network marketers.

122. Calling Your Own BS Aug 08, 2022

Show notes

Have you ever caught yourself in the middle of a trash thought and wondered how you got there? Sometimes when you’re in the middle of doing something hard (hitting a big goal, trying to exercise more, getting the kids to stick to a bedtime routine), your brain offers these thoughts to try and seek out comfort. It’s not working. I’m not good enough. Nobody listens to me. When in truth - these are just thought patterns you’ve created in order to remove yourself from discomfort.

And that’s ok to a point.

But having these trash thoughts and then choosing to believe them and, in turn - allowing them to alter your course is not ok. Instead, Kristen is encouraging you to call yourself on your own BS. Instead of accepting these stories as facts, she wants to show you how to recognize these thought patterns in order to break the cycle and win the day.

Here’s how:

Why being prepared for these thoughts can ultimately crush the pattern
Where (and why!) guilt comes into play
How to recognize the indications that will alert you when you’re engaging in self-sabotage
Important questions to ask yourself when stuck in a pattern of self-sabotage

Getting clear on your own BS behavior is the first step. Your brain will default to these same thoughts and feelings over and over when things get hard. And if you can anticipate these thoughts, it will help you to stay on top of your game and out of your own way in order to reach your goals.

121. The Importance of Inner Work with Maile, Wendy, and Roxy Aug 03, 2022

Show notes

Oftentimes we think we need the right system, playbook, or strategy to help us lead our teams and grow our businesses. But doing the inner work is what helps you break through your barriers, heal, and then grow without the unhealthy patterns that got you where you are today. Purpose and Profit mastermind members Wendy, Maile, and Roxy are the perfect examples of that work. Listen in as they talk about what they thought the mastermind would teach them vs. what they’ve learned.

Here are a few highlights:

How the mastermind reinforces the need for radical self-trust
Why it’s important to join the mastermind before you’re in burnout
What it means to ‘get systems’ when you join the mastermind
Why investing in your network marketing business should be as normal as investing in a brick and mortar business
Why healthy leadership is about health in your family, your team, your business, and your body
How to have compassion for yourself once you learn a different/healthier way
The reason the mastermind is set up for two rounds
Learning that it's safe to slow down

Embracing your emotions, learning to trust yourself as a business owner, and knowing when to invest in your business are all things that require inner work. The mastermind provides a safe space to talk about your work and areas of growth with a group of other leaders from the industry. There’s no other place like it in the network marketing industry.

120. Playing the Game Aug 01, 2022

Show notes

As an entrepreneur and business owner, you’ve probably wondered how other successful business owners know when and why to make decisions in order to grow their business. How did they decide it was time to either press the gas or pump the brakes? And how do they keep going after a big setback? After all - being an entrepreneur can feel like you’re stuck on a rollercoaster.

Kristen thinks the key to being a successful entrepreneur is all in how you play the game. Or rather - how you measure success and learn from failure. In this week’s episode, she’s talking about playing the long, sustainable game in order to grow your business in ways you’ve probably not considered.

Here are a few highlights:

Kristen lays out her Rules of Engagement for entrepreneurs
How best to learn from failures and painful lessons
Why staying engaged during losing seasons can build your strength as a business owner
The importance of anticipating problems in your business

Being an entrepreneur is a constant journey of self-refining and reflection. There is no final destination or end goal because the work is never done. Instead of letting these thoughts trigger feelings of exhaustion, perhaps reevaluating how you measure success can help you see that you’re already successful in ways you’d never thought possible.
