201. Growing Your Capacity for More
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. I'm doing a FREE Social Selling Success in 2024 webinar TODAY, Monday 2/12.

193. The Worst-Case Scenario
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.

Being a leader can be a tough gig. Especially if you feel like you don’t deserve to be in that position. But what is it that makes you think that you’re unworthy of the title? These feelings of unworthiness can manifest into thoughts like ‘If I were a better leader, my team member wouldn’t have left,’ or ‘If I knew how to talk to my team, then their sales numbers would be better.’ And those kinds of thoughts just aren’t serving you. That’s why Kristen is here to talk about leader shame and the effect it can have on not only your business and team but also in how you show up in your personal life. Listen in as she goes over these key points: What a leader IS NOT Growing through your journey as a leader alongside your team Definition of shame and how it affects your leadership A strategy on how to move through leader shame How removing judgment can and will make room for acceptance You’re human.

99. Time Scarcity
“I have so much time to get things done today” - said no one ever. If you’re one of the countless network marketers who always feels like you’re running around with your hair on fire trying to get everything done but never having enough time, listen up. This week Kristen is talking about the concept of time scarcity and how it can lead to some not-so-great results both in your personal life and in your business. So if you’re looking for ways to get more out of your day (and who isn’t?) this podcast is for you. Check out these highlights: Ways to tell if you’re dealing with time scarcity How feelings of overwhelm can cause you to actually get less done What Kristen believes is the biggest fear of business owners How time scarcity can lead to fewer recruits Why putting systems and boundaries in place could be the key to directing your time Choosing your thoughts about time and how you spend it can actually affect your business in ways you wouldn’t expect. When you decide to let things go (let that laundry sit!) and choose to focus on the things that matter, you end up creating more time. When everything is important - nothing is important. Being intentional with your time starts with your thoughts.

94. Selling the Business
Recruiting others to join your team can often feel intimidating, especially if you haven’t sold yourself on your ability to lead. You might be thinking that you’re not qualified to lead a team until you hit a certain rank or spend more time tweaking your systems. But the truth is - you have everything you need to lead right where you are. This week Kristen is talking about the stories you tell yourself about why you’re not selling the business and how to flip it around and start getting loud. You don’t need better systems or a bigger paycheck to rock as a leader. All you need is your belief in this business model and yourself. Here are a few highlights from today’s episode: Reasons you might be shying away from making bold offers Why you should stop looking for a unicorn What a powerful offer looks like How to position yourself as a leader before you have a team You don’t have to wait until you hit some predetermined milestone to start recruiting. All that time spent waiting can be better spent making bold offers to others who were once in your shoes. Something as little as $200 a month can be a transformative amount of money for lots of people, and you’re in a perfect position to introduce those people to this industry. Trust yourself and your skills and go out there and serve. Thanks for listening! Do you have a question about network marketing? Kristen can help!

93. Releasing Judgement
How many of you have received cold messages from someone else in the industry and thought to yourself, that’s so gross? Little did you know that this tiny thought can open up a can of worms that can cause significant issues within your own business. When the judgment of others and how they sell occupy space in your brain, it can often find its way into how you present your offers, leading to inaction over the fear of sounding gross or spammy. That’s why this week, Kristen is talking about releasing the judgment you have about other social sellers in order to show up for your audience consistently. Listen in to learn about this week’s topics: Examining your thoughts and stories surrounding how you like being sold to Learning to have compassion for those still stuck in hustle culture How to know when you’re in the judgment zone The crisis caused by thinking there’s a right and wrong way to sell on social media Finding things to learn from your sideline/upline, even if they sell differently than you When we cast judgment on others for doing things ‘wrong’, it creates a divide within the network marketing community. Instead, learn to redirect these sellers with compassion instead of reprimanding in judgment. You can build a community in which we all belong when you learn to release your judgment.
