77. Hustle and Flow with Special Guest Maisie Hill Nov 15, 2021

Show notes

This week’s episode is just for you girls! Kristen has a special guest and they’re talking all about the dreaded “P” word: our periods. And it’s not what you might think. Instead of the standard conversations around menstrual cycles and why you might be craving chocolate, they get into how hormones affect productivity and what that means for your business.

Join Kristen this week as she welcomes her friend, the author of Period Power, founder of The Flow Collective, and certified life coach Maisie Hill. Together they’re working to shed some light on a topic most of us would rather overlook.

Here are a few key points:

How the hustle narrative can lead to adrenal fatigue (and why that’s a big deal)
The importance of understanding your cycle and how it can afford you permission to rest
Why being able to predict the ebb and flow of your energy in relation to your cycle and how it can help your business
How your cycle (and your business) goes through seasons
When linking self-worth to productivity causes rest to feel confrontational

Don’t judge yourself for something that happens naturally. As your bodies go through their cycles, your energy levels can change. Instead of fighting nature, you can instead work with it by planning accordingly. This creates a more sustainable narrative that will serve you and your business better in the long run.

76. Business and Marriage Part 2 Nov 08, 2021

Show notes

When you made the decision to get into the social selling industry, you undoubtedly had a conversation with your spouse. And that conversation was probably not much different than the one Kristen had with her husband when she decided to take the plunge and launch her coaching business. This week, join her in welcoming her partner-in-crime and spouse of almost 10 years, Scott Boss, as they discuss how they navigated the choppy waters of running a business and household in tandem.

This behind-the-scenes episode sheds some light on a few of the real-life decisions most couples face when mixing marriage with business. Listen in as they explain the steps they took to propel themselves from two people who never had a day off together, into the power couple who strengthened their bond as a married couple and parents through this journey.

Why you should never use your income as leverage in the relationship
The importance of learning to communicate effectively early on
Adjusting budget expectations when your network marketing income grows from hobby money to household money
Why retiring your husband shouldn’t be your goal
Learning to be ok with ‘parting with profit’ in order to make life more manageable
The all-important lesson of investing in yourself and your business

In marriage, it’s always in your best interest to communicate expectations on both sides. When adding in the possible complications of a business, it becomes even more essential. Being open and honest about money, business goals, and setbacks gives your partner the opportunity to participate and builds a better team dynamic in the end.

75. Hustle Culture VS Diet Culture Nov 01, 2021

Show notes

We’ve all seen the effect that diet culture has had on our society. It’s that nagging thought in the back of your mind that if you were simply 2 sizes smaller, all of your dreams would come true. If you could drop 10 more pounds, you’d be happier.

And just like diet culture, hustle culture has helped to continue the same toxic narrative. If I had a bigger bank account, if I work continual 16 hour days, if I just spam my Instagram feed… I’ll be able to hit that next goal. While diet and hustle culture look tempting, neither are healthy for the long term.

In this episode, Kristen is talking about how to achieve your goals without the frenzied chihuahua energy that comes with these toxic sisters. Buckle up and take note while we uncover:

How these toxic cultures steal your present joy
Motivating yourself from a place of Self Loathing vs Self Love
What to do when negative emotions affect your decision making
Consistency is the standard for sustainable growth
The common denominator in your success and your failure is You

Believe it or not, succumbing to hustle culture is a choice. You can choose to tie your self-worth to a scarcity mindset, or you can choose to love yourself how you are right now. Stay consistent, trust the process, and believe in yourself. Neither the size of your pants nor the size of your bank account determines your value as a person.

74. The Feeling of Failure Oct 25, 2021

Show notes

Have you ever avoided setting a goal because you were afraid of how it might feel to fail? You’re not alone. The truth is that no one likes how it feels when they fail. You often go through life trying to avoid failure at all costs. But are you afraid of failing because of what it means, or is it because of the whirlwind of emotions failure can release?

Kristen is back from her own personal coaching intensive and she’s ready to get deep into the feelings of failure and how fearing those emotions that revolve around failure could be what’s holding you back from success. Get ready to feel all the feels and maybe have some tissues handy while you listen to this week’s episode.

Here are a few highlights:

Why you’ve been conditioned to avoid failure
Recognizing how our bodies experience fear, and what additional emotions come along with it
The importance of creating self-awareness
How perfectionism is a sneaky way to avoid failure and its negative emotions
The detrimental side effects of the I’m fine mindset
How success comes from willing to feel the negative emotions

Embracing failure may sound like a crazy idea, but the truth of the matter is that the path to success is littered with it. Instead of convincing yourself that you don’t need to reach your goals just so you can avoid failing, trust the process and get used to disappointment. You’ll get there.

73. Self Development Sabotage Oct 18, 2021

Show notes

You’re likely listening to this podcast because you want to improve either yourself or your network marketing business (or both!). If you’re like most, this probably isn’t the first time you’ve ventured into the land of personal development. Maybe you’ve read a book or two or even purchased a coaching course, hoping that it’ll help you breakthrough and crush those goals you’ve had for so long.

And in the end, did you get what you needed to make those goals? Or did you feel vulnerable and uncomfortable enough to where you decided it wasn’t worth it? Just to end up trying a different book or podcast the next time you needed a little boost.

Today, Kristen’s talking about self-development sabotage and what happens when you hide inside self-development instead of creating action and doing the work required to move forward. If you’re looking for another feel-good episode, this ain’t it!

Strap in as Kristen explains:

Why you’re drawn to chase external motivation
Scarcity Mindset = False Motivation
Using self-development as a tool vs. using it as a crutch
The importance of finding your true why when it comes to longevity and motivation
Why perfectionism is not only NOT required, but a detriment to your success
How to tell if you’re buffering and the steps to take to avoid it

The most important lesson to be had from today is this: Nothing happens unless you create action. No book, podcast, or course can do the work for you. Go into your personal development from a belief that even messy, imperfect action is better than no action, and you’re already halfway there.

72. Wake Up your Warm Market Oct 11, 2021

Show notes

Have you ever had the thought that if your audience was interested, they would have made a purchase by now? Do you feel like maybe if you just had some fresh eyes on your content, if you could just get one reel to go viral.. that you’d be able to hit that next rank?

What if I told you that it’s not your audience that’s holding you back? Kristen is back from the Purpose and Profit 6 Figure Earner Mastermind Live event weekend and motivated to explain exactly how your warm market is the key to unlocking your earning potential.

Listen is as she talks about:

The importance of building relational equity to grow the know/like/trust factor with current followers
How your mindset (yet again) influences your consistency and bottom line
Why your position as a micro-influencer has more leverage than larger accounts
How pre-screening your warm market is a form of self-sabotage
The realization that chasing new followers is a way to avoid feeling vulnerable

Believing that your warm market is dead is one of many stories you tell yourself that pulls you out of a purposeful mindset. Sales and marketing are about serving your audience and providing solutions to their problems. When you believe in your product and your ability to serve through selling, you stay consistent and stay out of that scarcity mindset.

71. The LuLa Doc: Boss to Burnout Part 2 Oct 04, 2021

Show notes

This week we’re continuing the conversation revolving around the controversy of the LulaRich documentary. Kristen is focusing on the glorification of hustle culture and how we, as network marketers, play a part in either perpetuating or eliminating hustle in not only our own lives but in the entirety of the industry.

And while that might sound like a tall order, remember one thing: Kristen is working to change the face of the industry. This benefits all of us, from the very top earner to the newest recruits. Building a sustainable business model we can all be proud of is the true end goal.

So follow along as we wrap up the LulaRich series with these topics:

The TRUE cost of succumbing to the hustle
Why LuLaRoe’s trademark recruitment motto of “Full-time pay. Part-time Work” started an avalanche of unmet expectations and a mass exodus from the company
The importance of transparent messaging and why doing so can lead to an increase in retention
How slowing down to grow, and taking time to put your systems in place may be the antidote to hustle
Why it’s important to remember that the effort to pay ratio changes as you move through your business, and how residual income is an end goal

LuLaRoe’s messaging was right about one thing. There is no amount of success that will compensate for failure at home. When we allow hustle culture to take hold, it doesn’t just affect your business. It affects your entire life. Most of you joined the industry to create a life you love and a business you can be proud of. That’s why you must work with integrity and purpose while throwing hustle to the wayside.

70. The LuLa Doc: Boss to Burnout Part 1 Sep 27, 2021

Show notes

You’ve undoubtedly heard the shockwaves coming out of the network marketing community after the release of the documentary “LuLaRich.” If you've followed Kristen for any length of time, then you know she's not one to shy away from controversy. And in this week’s episode, Kristen gets into the nitty-gritty of how when things go wrong in this business model, it’s important to see the lesson to be had instead of something you feel the need to defend.

Today’s episode is the first part of a two-part series and starts by looking at how the industry as a whole can learn from the past mistakes of those who worked behind the scenes at LuLaRoe. While the documentary tries to shed a negative light on the network marketing industry, Kristen is ready to put the spotlight back on those who are working to revolutionize the industry.

Here are just a few highlights:

What healthy growth in your business is supposed to look like on a macro level
The definition of ‘Horizontal Hostility’ and how it cheapens the industry
Kristen’s own experience in selling wholesale clothing
Importance of having the conversation about racial diversity within the industry
Reactive Growth: Why you must slow down to grow your business over the long haul

You might have heard people in the industry pointing fingers and blaming the company for everything that went wrong. When we start pitting companies against one another and playing the blame game, it does nothing but continues to spread the negativity across network marketing as a whole. Today, let’s agree to lift each other up and work together to revolutionize this industry.

69. Built to Last Sep 20, 2021

Show notes

What was your goal when you first decided to jump into network marketing? Did you think you’d be making 6 figures in your first 3 months? That you’d have no problem recruiting with such massive success under your belt? Or maybe you thought that you’d win a bunch of trips or whatever prizes your company gives away for being just so amazingly awesome? While all of this may technically be possible with this business model, it’s more often the exception and not the rule.

And Kristen says that’s A-OK!

While you might get caught up in the flash and glitz of what is promised by getting your hustle on, it’s often not a sustainable pace to keep you in this business long term. If you’re looking to build something for yourself and your family to last for years, this episode is just for you!

Listen is as Kristen drops some tough love about:

An explanation of why burnout happens (and how to avoid it!)
Why setting and actively pursuing goals in your business can keep you committed
The importance of budgeting for setbacks and failures in order to avoid burnout
Choosing sustainability over speed
The 3 phases of effort to pay ratio and why you must respect the phase you’re in

In order to remain in this business model for years (and decades) to come, you must pick a pace that is sustainable for you and your loved ones. You started this journey to breathe life into your work. Not the other way around. It’s never too late to start over and build something to last.
