The Kristen Boss Podcast

The first step to changing your current reality is to become aware of the thoughts creating it. Today, Kristen is sharing the way our brain likes to stay safe and comfortable by continuing to think negative ‘default’ thoughts.    Default thoughts are like a security blanket that we carry around to stay safe...and ultimately stuck. They are hard to find and change, but if you learn how to change th...

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Changes are coming to the podcast!     

When you started your social selling business, you likely had a dream of leaving your “day job.” You probably dreamed about it so much that you ended up romanticising what your life would look like without your 9 to 5.   You may think this dream/goal is motivating you into growing a successful network marketing business, but today’s episode will challenge you on this idea.   Shifting from bitterne...

As an online entrepreneur, you’re starting from the ground up to build your business. For those of you coming from other career backgrounds, it can be a challenge to realize that there’s no handbook to tell you how to operate. Not knowing whether your decisions are right or wrong can leave you feeling overwhelmed, confused, and stuck.   That’s where building self trust comes in.   Here’s what Kris...

How many times have you said, “when I achieve this, then I’ll pursue that?” How many times have you put off your calling by waiting to take perfect action?   In this very special bonus episode from the Becoming Boss archives is a never-before-heard recording of the first ever Purposeful Social Selling podcast. From the guest bedroom closet. Surrounded by an old high chair, forgotten dumbbells, and...

No matter how amazing a business is, how solid an offer or how fantastic a team is to work with, everyone will face objections. It comes with the territory of the cautious human brain, right? There will be reservations, concerns, and the need to minimize risk. But what often happens is that instead of seeing these objections as normal, we interpret them as rejection, which triggers defensiveness a...

If you have a social selling business, you’ve likely used a script, strategy, or “secret” formula that your leader (or a marketing guru) handed to you. And I’d bet that you didn’t see much return or success when you implemented any of them.   That’s because the script isn’t the answer to a successful business: You are.   Here’s what Kristen wants you to know about formulas, scripts, and secret str...

When you set out to grow your team in the social selling space you knew that sometimes your people quit. It comes with the territory. But it isn’t always easy to see it that way when it actually happens to you. And the way you show up as a leader when someone quits your team can be the difference between growth and stagnation in your business.    Today Kristen is setting out to normalize when peop...

Have you noticed that when you want to change something about yourself, your health, or your business, that it’s usually something you hate or are frustrated about? We want to change and ‘fix’ things about ourselves from a place of frustration by using negative self-talk. Spoiler alert: that doesn’t work. We have to love ourselves exactly how we are right now, and create goals and take action from...

It’s the new year and with every new year comes the NEW YEAR ENERGY. We want to purge, start fresh, set new and amazing goals! This is going to be YOUR YEAR!  Here’s what Kristen wants to say: you need to calm down. Really.  She’s all about setting big goals, but when you set them from an emotionally high, ‘pants on fire’ place, they are not sustainable. And when you fail to reach those goals, the...

Do you celebrate even when you miss your goal? If not, you’re missing out on an important piece of your success strategy. The art of celebration is more than simply celebrating when you achieve our big business goals. You can’t beat yourself up about missing a goal and expect to reach it the next time--no more than you can shame yourself into hitting your health and weight goals.  We all need a le...

Your self concept is probably the most important indicator of your long-term success. Self concept is how you see yourself and how you perceive how you think others see you. It informs how you think, act, and feel in the world right now.  Today, Kristen shares how your self concept impacts the success of your business and how you can use it as a tool to create different results in 2021 and beyond!...

One of the biggest pitfalls to achieving success in the social selling/network marketing industry is that people don’t think they have unique value to share as they market their business. It’s the biggest killer to creating consistent and valuable content.  Kristen’s sharing how you need to have self-validated value first as you’re growing your business and how fear and struggle are signs that you...

Your brain has a default mode that it uses to help keep you safe--none of us is immune to its sneaky strategy. The difference between success and failure is how you handle this default mode when it inevitably comes up. An example of this is when your brain offers you confusion in the face of fear. But real business growth and developing a rich and meaningful life means you learn to operate from a...

Those things are still important, but in order to get traction and build a long-...

How often do you check in with your belief in your business?

Growing a direct sales business, or any business, isn’t going to feel amazing every day. There will be hard days, uncomfortable moments, and painful lessons. But in order to show up consistently and grow, we must learn to work while we feel discomfort. As humans, our default mode is comfort. It’s our survival mechanism--our brains are simply trying to keep us safe.    If you want to achieve the bi...
