It’s that time of year again! The holidays are upon us, and that means baking cookies, holiday parties, and creating memories with your loved ones. What it doesn’t mean is letting your business suffer for it. You don’t have to turn your business off in order to be fully present with your family. Taking time away from your business in order to be fully present is the best gift you can give not only to your family but to yourself as well. That’s why in this episode, Kristen is talking about presen...

And to hear Kristen tell it, resentment is a stepping stone on the way to burnout. In this episode, she discusses how chronic disappointment from unmet expectations can put a strain on the relationship you have with your busi...

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.

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 th...

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...

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...

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 l...

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? A...

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.

And that’s why Kristen is here this week to talk about how to set yourself and your bu...

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 bu...

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 ...

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.

Here are a few highlights: The myth that speed is the only way to success The massive shifts experienced out...

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 ...

Today, Kristen is going to help clean up any drama that you may have around setting and working towards a goal.

You may have heard the saying: “When you say ‘yes’ to something, you’re saying ‘no’ to something else.” We can also turn that around to: “When you say ‘no’ to something, you're saying ‘yes’ to something else.” Sometimes that ‘yes’ is in your present reality like your family or your health. And sometimes that ‘yes’ is for a future opportunity. Today on the show Kristen is walking you through the reasons we tend to say ‘no’ when we should be saying ‘yes’ and vice versa and how you can learn to fin...

You know that having a strong belief in your goals, your business, and yourself is imperative for success, but you’re not sure where to start. Self-belief is not taught to us as kids. Most of us are used to having our parents, teachers, and teammates cheer us on. We’ve learned to depend on other people’s belief in us, including when setting big business goals. But other people aren’t always there to cheer you on and validate you. You must learn to believe in yourself when no one else does. Build...
