The Kristen Boss Podcast

Self-sabotage was the big buzzword a few years back when everyone started to believe that they were to blame for all the things that had gone wrong in their life. And while self-sabotage is definitely a real thing, our understanding of the term is inherently flawed.   Self-sabotage isn’t necessarily a bad thing - and that’s why, in this episode, Kristen is talking about why it’s important for you...

In this episode, Kristen is adding onto the leadership topic by discussing what leadership really looks like. And spoiler alert! It’s not what you might think. Leadership isn’t just for super successful, 6 figure earners. Leadership also isn’t just plugging your new team members into a system and hoping they figure it out. And it’s definitely not always having the answers.   So what is leadership...

Has your social selling business grown stagnant? Do you feel like you have a good handle on how this industry works - you know how to sell your product and you’ve grown your audience - but still feel like you’re not advancing or seeing your income grow like it should? There are a number of factors that you can examine to try and find the root of the issue. But chances are, it’s a leadership proble...

Happy New Year, friends! Ushering in a new year is the perfect time to start thinking about resolutions and the things you’d like to change in your life. Whether it’s to lose weight, make a bigger paycheck, or kick bad habits to the curb, this is the time to do it.   But what if the reason WHY you’re making these new year’s resolutions are just as important as the resolutions themselves? When you...

Deciding to become a business owner is a big step in someone’s life. It’s often fueled by hopes and dreams of what the future will hold. Unfortunately, lavish lifestyles and overnight success are not the norm. It’s great to have huge long-term goals, but it can be hard to manage expectations along the way.   In this episode, Kristen shares with us a couple of lessons in humility and entitlement th...

The holidays are always crazy busy and crazy stressful. But there is one thing that can take the craziness down a few notches and bring everything into focus. And that, my friends, is gratitude. If you’re having a rough patch, like so many do during the holidays, it can be hard to feel grateful. Whether you’re short on funds, your loved ones aren’t close by, or for whatever reason - there is alway...

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 on...

Running a business is full of ups and downs, sort of like a rollercoaster. Some months are great, while others can fall flat. If those less-than-stellar months leave you feeling like you want to give up and hide under a rock, you might be knocking on the door to resentment.   And to hear Kristen tell it, resentment is a stepping stone on the way to burnout. In this episode, she discusses how chron...

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.   These adjustments are what Kristen ca...

Way back in episode seven, Kristen talked about success thoughts, and as it remains the most popular episode to date - she decided to do part two. Except this time around, she’ll be walking through the thoughts that can cause you to stall out and keep you from moving forward in your business.   This episode is about toxic thoughts and how they can sabotage progress before you even start. Just like...

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 u...

Does the thought of leaving the perceived safety of your 9-5 to become an entrepreneur scare the life out of you? If the fear of failure is holding you back, then today’s episode might help by shedding some light on a few common misconceptions about the risks of becoming a business owner.   This week on the podcast, Kristen is talking about why people fail in the entrepreneurial space with the aut...

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 possi...

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,...

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 wh...

Today’s episode has been three years in the making. This week Kristen welcomes her personal coach, Mike Zeller, for an inside look at what thoughts and processes it takes to grow into a seven-figure business owner. And it’s not what you might expect.   Mike Zeller is the founder of three companies with over $300 million in sales and is the author of “The Genius Within: Your Natural Pathway to Impa...

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...

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 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. If you’re left with a goal (or several) that you’ve been slowly hacking away at or maybe too scared even to get started - Now is the time to kick it into gear before another year is gone, and you’re left with the same unmet goa...

If you were one of the many network marketers who grew explosively during the pandemic, only to be dropped back down to earth once things got back to ‘normal,’ then this episode is for you. This week Kristen welcomes the editor-in-chief of Entrepreneur magazine, podcast host, and author of the new book “Build for Tomorrow,” Jason Feifer.    Jason’s here to talk with us about adaptability in the fa...

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...

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 actual...

And that’s where our guest, Brock Johnson, comes in.   Brock rocketed to a 7-figure income by the age of 25 using social media, and here’s here this week with...
