Have you ever wondered why some people fail while others keep adding to a list of accomplishments? It starts with setting goals. I read in one study that only 10% of adult American career professionals set goals during the year and work towards them. That needs to change. Let's talk about goal setting.

Ever had a bad apple client? Yep. Especially when one is just starting up a business, any client seems like a win. But wait! Before you hop into working with just anyone, listen up.

Are you a coach, content creator, consultant, freelancer, or service-based business owner? Then this topic may interest you: pricing. We all have different reactions about prices due to our class level, spending budgets, and earnings. People will pay nearly anything to get something they really want. Just look at the fashion industry. Where is the "value"? It is all in the perception of what something is worth. There is a market for everyone. So the secret is to find your niche who really needs your services. Then price will never be an issue. If someone says they want it but doesn't buy, the two reasons are: -It wasn't that valuable to them after all -They are afraid to invest in themselves Either way, a 'no' is good because you will realize they were not the right customer, and it can help you further define your messaging to scare away people who don't fit the profile. In this episode, I'll talk about various price levels (2,3,4, and 5 figures) and what value one can expect for each level.

When I started coaching, I developed my own life coaching program called the SASSY METHOD™️ to build self-confidence and free one from limiting beliefs. While I still strongly believe that mindset is at the root of most problems, I realized that to help the clients overcome it, I was better off helping them in a slightly different way. Listen to find out why and how I switched from life coaching to business + career coaching. Thank you for listening!

When I started my business, I sought out several coaches. I learned a couple of lessons along the way!  The truth is that things aren't always as they seem. Hiring the right coach isn't as simple as it should be. Coaches are not created equally and clever branding can mask even the worst coach. I know first-hand by the mistakes I made.  In this episode, I'll share with you some advice I wish someone would have told me when I started my business and was interviewing coaches. Coaching is an investment and especially if you are starting out and not yet making much money, you'll want to listen to this.  I also have a video series on YouTube where I interview coaches that you may enjoy: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_412Hzy2a8rFkBBU1BebParIblxfwdAr Questions?

Have you ever tried repeatedly to succeed at something but couldn't seem to follow through til the end? Or maybe you did but fell back into old patterns later? We can blame it on a lack of discipline but I want to go one level deeper: what you are lacking is self-love. Sometimes we boycott our own success because our hearts are still hurting from a core belief that we don't deserve true happiness. This is the result of guilt and shame. These feelings occur when you suffer, from rejection, abandonment, loss, verbal or physical abuse, bullying, and other trauma. We develop a belief that we are at fault, often irrationally. And we can't seem to let go, even when time has passed. We continue to suffer on a very deep, subconscious level. In this podcast, I discuss how to release it and move forward. If you enjoy this podcast, i always appreciate a review and a subscribe. Are we connected on Linkedin? https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristamollion/

I've made 7 figures selling on Linkedin. I took a different route than the popular advice to grow as big of a following as possible. Instead, I focused on quality over quantity. My decision to ginore vanity metrics and focus on my audience has paid off. My following is big enough but what truly matters is that most of them will work with me at some point or give me valuable paid and unpaid opportunities. I also have grown into a known person on Linkedin and am frequently tagged, mentioned, and invited to speak at live shows or on recorded podcasts as well as virtual and real-time events. Now I launched a program to teach others my strategy called From Follower to Leader Academy. If you are interested in learning more, please apply here: https://kristamollion.com/fromfollowertoleader/ It's time for real talk. Vanity metrics don't pay the bills.

One of the best parts of my morning routine is my gratitude prayer. I love rituals so I have a special place to sit and I light a candle and burn incense. It is a lovely way to begin the day, from a place of deep gratitude. Of course, human nature will push you to ask for more, fill your head with desires, and constantly remind you there are people much better off materially or elsewise than you. But if you decide to live in a permanent state of abundance, you will shift your mind from cup half empty to cup half full and never again want for anything. I follow my gratitude prayer with meditation and yoga and then some journaling. I invite you to be inspired by my gratitude prayer to create your own. With light and love, Krista

Elizabeth is a very talented writer of raw and beautiful prose. I was thrilled to hear about her new book, "Halfway There: Lessons at Midlife”, which is now available for pre-order here: https://publishizer.com/halfway-there/ No stranger to adversity, she has suffered through abuse, divorce, chronic illness, and losing a child. Most recently, she also faced a layoff and a long and difficult journey before finding the right job again. Through it all, Elizabeth maintains such a positive attitude but she assures me that she was not always in that mindset. She is truly the definition of a fighter and a survivor. Join us in this episode of ktalks as we speak about her writing, her health, and her future projects. https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethchaynes/ www.elizabethchaynes.com

Michael David Chapman gets real and raw with me as he shares his personal story from a rocky first half of adult life to who he is today, a man of incredible self-awareness of both the good and the bad, his strengths and his shortcomings and above all, his values rooted in his family.  Michael David has chosen to use his turbulent experiences to help other men navigate the ups and downs of adulting, and ultimately, to find themselves.  All men (and women) can benefit from listening to his story, notably how the secret to healthy relationships starts with doing the tough love work on the inside.  Favorite Quote from Micheal: "You can't put much in a clenched fist."  Follow Michael for more insights and all information about his businesses: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mdcbizminister/ 

How do you feel about your 40s? Kris Macc wanted to let those feelings be known by interviewing women all over the world about it. If you've already hit or passed 40, you'll love the title of her new book, No Approval Needed. Women in their 40s are unapologetic. You stop caring what others think since you are who you are, for better or for worse (hopefully, mostly for better). I loved discussing vulnerability and self-awareness with Kris and hope you enjoy it and check out her amazing book, No Approval Needed.

When we feel stuck, we often do nothing. We ignore our intuition. We repress our feelings. We numb ourselves and keep ourselves distracted by busy-ness. This can go on for a while but if nothing changes, sooner or later, there are side effects and there becomes no choice but to face your true feelings, even if they scare you. The good life is a myth and many of us mistakenly follow society’s norms to define it instead of asking ourselves what we truly want out of life. This is the story of my wake up call, that led me to develop The SASSY Method, a self-help program for stuck people.

To understand how to get to real happiness, you have to first 'wake up'. This means self-awareness that something is 'off' and the acknowledgment that the outward metrics you have always relied on to determine your happiness are flawed and you must stop pretending. There must be something more to life! At first, 'waking up' can feel like depression because you feel an emptiness and a deep void that doesn't make sense. But it is just a sign that you not living aligned with your true inner values. This is the very beginning of the journey. In this episode, I share my personal story of 'waking up' to discover there was something missing in my perfect life. I get really personal. It took a lot of courage to share all this with you but I want to be vulnerable because I am only human and I think my story may help someone who is in a similar situation to 'wake up' too.

Super excited to announce the launch of my podcast, The SASSY Method with Krista Mollion, and let you know how this podcast will be different and why it is worth listening to!
