If you've said to yourself lately, "sales feel tougher than ever," buckle up because this episode is for you. Kristen is dishing out some hard-hitting truths in a lesson that might just change your sales game forever. 

What happens when we become too comfortable with our warm market? What if we find ourselves stuck, unable to expand beyond our current circle? This is where the switch happens—the audience gap. It's the shift from reliance on the warm market to tapping into the potential of the cold market. 

Let's look at a few highlights:

• If you stay comfortable within your warm market for too long, you'll hit a point of market saturation.
• The audience gap didn't just happen overnight. It results from complacency – relying solely on your existing customer base and neglecting to expand your reach.
• If you want to level up from side hustle money to entrepreneur money, you need to provide value, nurture leads, and expand your audience.
• Understand that cold and warm audiences require different strategies. Tailor your messaging and engagement tactics accordingly to maximize your impact.

Bridging the audience gap isn't easy, but it's essential for long-term success. It's not our customers' job to expand our reach—it's ours. This means actively seeking new opportunities, networking with new faces, and continuously providing value to our audience. Remember, growth demands change.

Burnout—it's a word that gets thrown around a lot in the business world. Every entrepreneur has faced it at some point or another. It's not just about feeling tired or overworked. It's about feeling like your efforts aren't being rewarded, like you're pouring everything you have into your business but not seeing the returns you expected.

In today's episode, Kristen talks about how we prevent burnout and, more importantly, how we bounce back after we hit burnout.

Let's look at a few highlights:

• Burnout is not just about working too hard or taking on too much—it's about working unsustainably.
• Burnout is not a reflection of our business or our abilities as entrepreneurs. It's a wake-up call to realign our actions with our values and to rediscover the joy in our work.
• You have to learn to regulate your emotions and to navigate the highs and lows of entrepreneurship with resilience and grace.

Ask yourself: What am I doing that's unsustainable? What can I delegate or eliminate to reduce my workload? And most importantly, what brings me joy? Ultimately, burnout isn't caused by our business itself. It's a symptom of how we show up in our business—our mindset, habits, and priorities.

How often are you looking for a shortcut when it comes to content creation? The allure of shortcuts is undeniable. In today’s episode Kristen breaks down the four phases of content creation. Her insights serve as a reality check, emphasizing the importance of building upon each phase. It's time to align our expectations and mindset to ensure you’re on the right track in this significant aspect of building your business. 

Let’s look at a few highlights:

• Building a solid content strategy requires a commitment to consistency. Consistency is the bridge that connects you with your audience.
• Comparing your progress to others in the industry is a dangerous game; instead, focus on refining your own content.
• The key is to build a value vault—working smarter, not harder.
• Transitioning from a consumer to a content creator mindset is essential.
• You need to be comfortable with the initial silence, acknowledging that everyone starts with "crickets" before building momentum.
• The grit and hard work invested in the initial phases lay the foundation for long-term success.

In our race for success, it's easy for entrepreneurs to overlook the basics of content creation, enticed by the allure of quick success. Crafting compelling content demands grit, perseverance, and a willingness to embrace discomfort. The question isn't about avoiding hard work but rather about being ready to invest your time, effort, and energy.

Success in content creation leaves clues – pay attention, adapt, and enjoy the journey of building a strong and lasting connection with your audience.

As moms, we often find ourselves grappling with guilt—whether it's about the food we feed our kids, their screen time, or the amount of outdoor play they get. Add entrepreneurship into the mix, and the guilt seems to multiply. Many women, striving to run successful businesses, share this common feeling of battling mom guilt. 

Kristen explores the various layers of mom guilt especially as it intertwines with building a business. 

Let’s look at a few highlights:

• Recognizing that dreaming big doesn’t equate to escaping motherhood.
• Being a mom and having ambitious goals can coexist.
• It's crucial to recognize that learning is an investment and not always immediately reflected in tangible results.
• A common pitfall is measuring our worth solely by financial results and deciding whether our business is “worth it.”
• While it's noble to care deeply about our families, we must question whether mom guilt serves us positively or becomes a barrier to personal and professional growth.
• Reflect on your business and time management habits to identify areas for improvement and create more intentional, quality time.

In confronting mom guilt, we empower ourselves to build the dreams we're called to pursue. We can be great moms, friends, spouses, and successful business owners - it's not an either-or scenario.  It's time to stop asking if it's worth it and start living the lives we were called to lead.

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.

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.

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.

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.
