The pressure to find purpose can be overwhelming, evoking a spectrum of emotions that range from stress and anxiety to downright fear. In today's episode, Kristen welcomes author, entrepreneur, activist, and all-around powerhouse Liz Bohannon. Liz challenges the conventional narrative around dreaming big, emphasizing the need to reframe messages and integrate work that aligns with our purpose. Liz doesn't just talk about finding your purpose; she empowers you to build it.   Kristen and Liz's incredible conversation introduces the concept of "plucking up" – the courage to face failures and learn from them as you construct a purposeful life. She encourages us to find what we love and dismisses the notion that passion or purpose will magically find us.    Let's look at a few highlights: Kristen and Liz Liz explore the role of curiosity in unlocking a growth mindset, activating the mind, and fostering creativity. Liz challenges the notion that purpose has to be grand, encouraging individuals to find joy in the ordinary and love their average selves. Failure is an inevitable part of being human. While it may never feel good, reframing our perspective can prevent it from being the end of the world. The story behind how Sseko morphed from a wholesale company to a direct sales/network marketing company Liz shares the power of a driven community, highlighting the importance of collective ambition. This conversation isn't just about individual goals but celebrates the need for community.    It's a conversation filled with insights, challenges, and opportunities for personal growth that will undoubtedly fill your cup and inspire you to embrace your purpose and own your average. It's not just about goals; it's about collective ambition, community, and the pursuit of purpose—whether big or small.   Listen to Liz's Podcast Plucking Up To learn more (and shop!) about Sseko Designs head over to their website   Did you hear?

As entrepreneurs, we wear multiple hats, navigating through various roles to ensure the success of our businesses. However, sometimes, we find ourselves stuck in positions that hinder our creativity and impede our overall growth. Kristen found herself immersed in various roles that were draining her creativity.   In today's episode, Kristen shares her journey of self-discovery and growth, highlighting the pivotal decision to hire a CEO and relinquish her role to reignite her creative spark. Little did she know that the perfect candidate was under her roof – her husband, Scott Boss. The conversation with Scott delves into the dynamics of their partnership and how offloading specific tasks has allowed Kristen to channel her energy into strategic aspects of the business.   Listen in as they discuss: Recognizing when and where to fire yourself, bringing in someone who can elevate the role and contribute to the success of your business. The concept of success in terms of bringing new visions and ideas, thinking of better ways to serve, and ultimately creating a positive impact on the lives of others. Discuss the importance of going beyond just business success and how every decision contributes to a larger purpose. Owning a business is undoubtedly challenging and filled with uncertainties and self-doubt. Kristen and Scott's candid conversation reminds entrepreneurs that firing oneself from specific roles can unlock greater creativity and growth. As they redefine success through the lens of entrepreneurship, the journey becomes not just about business but about making a meaningful difference in the world.   Listen to Episode 184:  10x is Easier than 2x with Dr. Benjamin Hardy   Did you hear?

From the moment you sign up to be an entrepreneur, a familiar companion settles in – the ever-present emotion of uncertainty. Kristen acknowledges this reality but emphasizes a crucial insight – it's not just about the uncertainty itself; it's about how you choose to show up in the face of it.   In today’s episode Kristen emphasizes a powerful truth – the more certain you are of yourself, the better equipped you are to handle the uncertainties that entrepreneurship inevitably brings. It's a mindset shift that empowers entrepreneurs to face challenges head-on.   Here are a few highlights: She sheds light on the stark reality that only a small fraction of time is spent feeling like you're "crushing it." The journey involves signing up for both the good days and the bad days. Entrepreneurship is not always a safe space; it frequently involves discomfort. Kristen delves into the "freeze pattern" – the tendency to resist growth when leaving the safety of the familiar. Exposure to greater levels of doubt becomes a catalyst for expanding our capacity. When faced with uncertainty, Kristen advocates for the skill of "zooming out." It's a mental shift that prompts entrepreneurs to ask themselves, "Will this matter in a month? Two years? A week?   Kristen concludes with a powerful reminder – overcoming hard things grows your capacity. She urges entrepreneurs to embrace doubt, discomfort, and challenges as opportunities for growth. The journey is not just about surviving, it’s about continually expanding the capacity to achieve more.

Entrepreneurship is not just about business, it's about forging connections and building a community. Yet, we often find ourselves hindering our own ability to connect with others. It's time to reflect on how we might be getting in our own way and blocking the path to meaningful relationships.   In today’s episode Kristen explores the concept of "sister sabotage," drawing from personal experiences and shedding light on the importance of connection and self-awareness. Kristen has uncovered invaluable insights that have reshaped the way she navigates personal and professional relationships.    Here are a few highlights: Entrepreneurship isn't immune to mean girl behavior – the drama, gossip, and torn friendships that can hinder professional growth.  We are all guilty of carrying stories that hinder our sense of belonging. These narratives, left unchallenged, can impede personal and professional growth.  Assumptions about others can be detrimental to our professional relationships. Kristen encourages you to confront the stories you have about people in your circle.  There's power in vulnerability. By shedding light on our insecurities and acknowledging our imperfections, we create space for authentic connections to flourish. By challenging the stories we tell ourselves, we open the door to new possibilities and create room for genuine connection and understanding.   The stories we carry, the assumptions we make, and the insecurities we harbor can all serve as barriers to authentic connection. Remember, it starts with you – acknowledge your stories, get vulnerable, and build a community where success is rooted in genuine relationships.   The Social Selling Leadership School is OPEN!

Starting a business often stems from a combination of determination and desperation. People, dissatisfied with their current situation, establish the courage to initiate transformative change. However, as they overcome obstacles and achieve a semblance of stability, a subtle shift occurs. The initial desperation fades, and a sense of complacency can set in.   Kristen has identified a consistent trend, which she refers to as the "subtle settle." This refers to the initial burst of motivation and drive that propels individuals into their entrepreneurial journey, but gradually diminishes over time.    Here are a few highlights: What begins as a journey fueled by determination and ambition can gradually lose momentum, leaving entrepreneurs feeling stagnant and uninspired. Kristen emphasizes the importance of maintaining clarity of vision and staying connected to the underlying purpose that drives you forward. Ask yourself tough questions: Why is it important to go all the way? What meaning does this journey hold for me? What discomfort am I willing to endure to attain my goals? True growth requires a willingness to embrace discomfort and confront the obstacles that stand in the way of success.   It's time to stop using scarcity as the fuel in our businesses, to stop looking behind and start focusing on the future. Remind yourself why you embarked on this journey in the first place. Don't succumb to the guilt of the subtle settle; instead, reconnect with your vision.   The Social Selling Leadership School is OPEN!

If you've ever felt caught in the rear-view mirror of your business, constantly looking back at "what was," it's time for a change. Dwelling on the past doesn't contribute to your growth. Instead, fix your eyes ahead, embracing a future-focused approach that propels you toward success.   While the term "hustle" might evoke thoughts of burnout and excessive effort. In today’s episode Kristen provides the essential reminder of what hustle truly means. It's about getting your head in the game, picking up your pace, and being ready to fully engage.   Here are a few highlights: The truth is, hustling isn't about mindlessly running in circles; it's about being future-focused. Complacency has become prevalent, it's essential to acknowledge that success isn't about things getting easier. It's about getting better at doing hard things. With success comes embracing grit, hard work, and the sweat equity needed to elevate your skills. Standing out requires a thoughtful and strategic content strategy. It's not just about selling; it's about providing value and building a community around your brand. If every time it gets tough, you find yourself searching for the easy way out, it's time to reevaluate your approach   Redefine hustle as a force that propels you forward, guiding you toward success through intentional efforts, hard work, and a commitment to continuous growth.  Entrepreneurship doesn't guarantee immediate returns; it demands consistent effort and hard work. Valuing hard work means understanding that shortcuts rarely lead to sustainable achievements.   Right now, as a new year has just begun and your team is feeling motivated, excited, and ready to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty…This is THE perfect time to take advantage of the high energy and get your team in momentum for 2024.

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.   Introducing the Social Selling Leadership School: A 12-week Advanced Leadership Certification program for Network Marketers.

You may be a goal setting pro who never reaches their goal. Or maybe you don’t even know where to start when thinking about setting a goal. Today, Kristen is going to help clean up any drama that you may have around setting and working towards a goal. Because if you don’t have a healthy relationship with setting goals, you will avoid setting them altogether. And that means no growth in your business or yourself.   Here are a few highlights: What happens when you write down your goal and make it specific How to know how to set your goal parameters and timeline How to avoid hustle when working towards your goal What to do when you find yourself in drama while working on your goal The questions to ask yourself if you don’t hit your goal Why you must see failure as a necessary milestone   There’s a big difference between a “goal setter” and a “goal getter.” A goal getter takes action and learns about themselves in the process. Because the true result of setting a goal is what you reveal about yourself and how you learn from that along the way. It’s so much more than hitting a milestone!

How many times have you been pumped up to make changes in your life only to be disappointed when you quit a few days or weeks into your new habits? No amount of cute workout clothes or pretty planners is going to get you through the resistance and old programming that your brain offers you. Kristen’s giving you exactly how you need to approach your personal development and habit goals instead. Here are a few highlights: Why we always have resistance to new habits at first What it means to live in the ‘both, and’ world in the first 90 days of your new habit plan The 2 questions you need to answer before you start a new habit Why deciding between being outcome or process-focused is the key to sustainable success The different phases of building new habits We all have human brains, which means that we’ve all been stalled with resistance while trying to form new habits. To create discipline and develop long-term habits, we must learn how to plan for and manage our brain’s stories when they inevitably crop up. Listen in to approach things differently.

In business, many of us have experienced that moment when the potential worst-case scenario looms on the horizon. It's that unsettling feeling that freezes us in our tracks. Kristen acknowledges the typical response of saying, "It probably won't happen," as a way to minimize the fear. However, she proposes a more courageous approach – sitting with the worst-case scenario and unpacking it in its entirety.   Kristen shares her personal story of physically working through a worst-case scenario. Whether it's the fear of rejection or the fear of shame, she emphasizes the importance of making peace with these scenarios.    Let's look at a few highlights: Embracing the worst-case scenario is not a surrender to failure but a pathway to growth. Kristen's journey led her to a profound realization: nothing was left to fear because she had already lived through the worst-case scenario in her mind.  The key is to make peace with the worst-case scenario. By making peace with our worst-case scenarios, we refuse to settle for fear, allowing ourselves to show up and pursue the extraordinary. Growth and risks are intertwined; they cannot exist without each other.  By sitting with our fears and making them safe, we unveil the power to achieve the impossible.     So, what if, like Kristen, we make peace with our fears and stop letting them prevent us from showing up? It's an invitation to embrace the unknown, confront our deepest fears, and discover the boundless potential that lies within. After all, growth is impossible without taking risks, and embracing the worst-case scenario unlocks the door to the extraordinary. Step into your greatness – no more playing small or hiding from your potential. Transform your business dreams into reality as you exceed even your own expectations.
