Podcasts about boss moms

There's something every mom needs, but no one is talking about it. It's not more sleep (though that would be nice). It's not better time management. It's validation. Motherhood shifts everything. It changes how we see ourselves, what we want, and what we believe is possible. And in the process, many moms start to feel lost, stuck, or even question whether they still have dreams of their own. If you've ever felt like you're procrastinating, self-sabotaging, or just spinning your wheels, this episode will help you understand why—and what you can do about it. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why having kids creates an identity crisis no one prepares you for The real reason you keep procrastinating (and it's not just time management) Why your kids and your partner can't give you the kind of validation you need How starting a business becomes a journey of self-discovery The secret to getting unstuck and actually moving forward Why community, collaboration, and connection are essential for moms in business If you've been feeling behind, struggling to take action, or wondering if success is even possible for you, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence you need. Tune in now and let's talk about what it really takes to build something amazing—without losing yourself in the process. Join the Boss Mom Community Want support from women who get it?

Balancing motherhood with running a business can make it feel like you've lost sight of who you are and what you truly want to achieve. It's easy to get caught in the cycle of self-doubt and second-guessing, especially when marketing yourself doesn't come naturally. It's tough to juggle the demands of both roles, and sometimes it feels like you're not doing enough in either area. Finding a way to embrace both your business and your personal identity can take time, but it's about allowing yourself room to grow and figuring out what works for you. Dana Malstaff is the founder and CEO of Boss Mom, a business and movement that has been empowering moms to find their voice, purpose, and financial independence for over a decade. She is also the host of The Boss Mom Podcast. Today, Dana talks about her mission to rewrite the Boss Mom book, which was originally published in 2015. She shares her research findings that many women start businesses as a way to rediscover their identity after becoming mothers, often making decisions not based on financial viability, but on the need for appreciation and validation.

In today's episode, Krista and Dana dive into the all-too-relatable concept of being a "single married mom." What does that mean? It's that feeling of navigating family life, raising kids, managing a home, and even running a business solo—even if you technically have a partner. If you've ever felt like you're carrying the weight of it all by yourself, you're not alone, and we're here to unpack what this experience is, why it happens, and how to find support that truly helps. Topics Discussed: The Reality of Being a "Single Married Mom" Why so many moms feel like they're parenting and running a household alone, even with a partner. The complex realities of balancing motherhood, business, and life responsibilities solo. Creating Systems Without Feeling Robotic How setting up simple systems can be a lifesaver in managing family logistics. Why these systems create breathing room for deeper connection with family and partners, helping us focus on what really matters. Why Paying Moms for Their Work Isn't the Solution Breaking down the idea of assigning monetary value to stay-at-home or working moms. The real “pay” we need: feeling valued, seen, and connected with our partners and families. Shifting from Keeping Score to Building Connection How true partnership is about collaboration and appreciation, not keeping score. The role of community in helping us feel understood, especially when navigating feelings of overwhelm and burnout. Communicating Our Needs with Our Partners The importance of understanding and sharing our love languages to build supportive, balanced relationships. How finding the right support and having honest conversations can make partnership more fulfilling. Boss Mom Plus – A Community for Real Support and Connection Discover how Boss Mom Plus offers a safe space to discuss the challenges of motherhood, business, and relationships with like-minded women who truly get it. Key Takeaways: Being a “single married mom” isn't about fault or blame; it's about finding ways to feel supported, connected, and valued in the relationships we share. When we create manageable systems for the essentials, we open up more space for meaningful moments with our family. And ultimately, having a community where we can talk openly with other moms helps us build stronger relationships at home.

The internet is packed with funny and relatable videos about how hard being a mom is. What's harder for moms to find are real solutions to their problems. That's why a lot of moms feel like they're stuck with no way to make things better. Boss Mom is going to change that. We want to gather real information about what moms need and use it to create helpful tools and resources. Why do moms need a lot more than relatable and funny content? How can we help moms find support and actual solutions? In this episode, I talk about how we're planning to help moms get noticed, and introduce a new social networking app just for moms.   "Sales and marketing is the hardest part about what you do. Like you love being an expert, you love helping people, but getting seen and building authority is the harder part, so we want to make that easier." -Dana Malstaff   3 Things You'll Learn in This Episode   -How data can help you succeed Boss Mom is gathering important info to change what success means for moms, from handling time to family life.

The concept of trading time for money is familiar, but it's also limiting. There's only so much time in a day, and if your income is directly tied to your personal efforts, your earning potential is capped. To break through this barrier, you need to think beyond your own hours and start leveraging other resources. In today's episode, Kristen provides practical guidance and the real truth on how to break through the third paycheck plateau. She focuses on increasing your impact in ways that aren't directly tied to your personal time. One of the most effective strategies for doing this is building a team. Let's look at a few highlights: Kristen discusses how scaling your efforts means increasing your impact in a leveraged and scalable way. This isn't just about working harder; it's about working smarter. It's about more than just adding members. It's about expanding your impact by bringing in people who want to build their own businesses. The truth is, you don't need to be an expert to help someone get their first customer. Leading by example is often enough. Without investing effort into building a team, you're not fully leveraging your business. By building a team, you're creating a sustainable and scalable business model. You need to get people into your team. You need to leverage this business through building a team. This is the key to breaking through the paycheck plateau and scaling your business to the next level.    Discover transformative strategies for network marketers in our exclusive 90-day membership and online course.

There is a lot happening and shifting within the network marketing space right now. Big changes are leaving people questioning the future of network marketing and their own roles within it. Kristen is here to provide support and clarity about what's going on in the industry, bringing you this special bonus episode.   In this State of the Union replay, Kristen discusses the changes we're seeing and offers encouragement and insight. Kristen continues to instill what is possible in this business model, reminding us all that there is still hope for the industry. It's normal to feel vulnerable, to have questions, and to feel a bit unsure of what's coming next.   Let's look at a few highlights: This is hard, and we all feel it. Whenever we see a company change their model to an affiliate model, we ask, "What does this mean for my company?" It's important to remember that network marketing is not going anywhere. Even as companies pivot, your most valuable assets remain intact: your email lists, your personal brand, and the skills you've acquired.  Tough seasons are part of any business journey. If you're losing faith in the network marketing business, now is the time to rebuild your belief. Focus on what's possible and where the industry is heading.   Be the person who talks about the future and inspires others with a vision of where we're going. It's not about ignoring the challenges but about charging through the storm with determination and resilience. Network marketing offers countless opportunities, even in times of change.   By focusing on your strengths and staying positive, you can navigate these shifts and come out stronger. Stay hopeful, stay confident, and remember, you have the tools needed to succeed.

  Are you feeling stuck in your network marketing business, watching your income become stagnant despite your hard work? Welcome to the paycheck plateau, a phase every network marketer will face at some point. If you haven't encountered it yet, it's only a matter of time. In today's episode, Kristen talks about how to recognize the warning signs, addresses the first paycheck plateau, and shares strategies for getting back on track. Let's look at a few highlights: The paycheck plateau occurs when your income from network marketing stagnates after an initial period of growth. This is a natural part of the business cycle. Your content should go beyond asking for sales. Focus on how you can serve your audience and add value to their lives. Be deliberate with your content. Expand your network by connecting with people outside your immediate circle. Adapt your marketing strategies to the changing market dynamics. What worked initially may not work now. When you've exhausted your hot leads and find yourself struggling to maintain momentum, it's time to shift your approach. Stop relying on the same customers and broaden your audience to expand your customer base. The solution is simple yet powerful: you need to network beyond your immediate comfort zone.   Discover transformative strategies for network marketers in our exclusive 90-day membership and online course.

It's easy to be fully committed to your business when everything is going smoothly. But what about during the stormy seasons when sales don't come as easily? How do you stay strong and put in the hard work even when it's tough? The market has changed, and things are not the same as they used to be. Scarcity in the market creates new challenges. This is the time to dig deep and find your grit. Imagine if you could crush it during a hard market—what kind of skills could you develop, and who could you become? Let's look at a few highlights: When the market is tough, it pushes you to think creatively and strategically. You're forced to hone your skills, sharpen your focus, and develop new strategies to overcome obstacles. What if it's not going to get easier? This new reality requires resilience and adaptability. Learn to work hard when it's hard. If you're in a storm, stop waiting for it to pass. Embrace the challenges, commit to your goals, and find ways to thrive.   Remember: change is inevitable in business and it's not always going to be easy. So, if you're feeling the weight of these changing times, use it as motivation to redefine your approach and embrace a new normal that sets you up for sustained growth and achievement.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the constant decision-making, juggling business tasks, and the never-ending responsibilities of motherhood, you're not alone.   Balancing business and motherhood means constant decisions I have to make and the feeling of always being behind. That's why it's important to find real advice and true connections in a world full of repeated ideas.   So, how do we decide which option to take when we're overwhelmed with choices?   In this episode, join me as I open up about what it really means to be a Boss Mom. I invite you to reflect on your own experiences and consider what truly resonates with your lives and values.   "I want a business that is scalable no matter where I am, that ebbs and flows with how my life is going to ebb and flow." -Dana Malstaff   3 Things You'll Learn in This Episode   -Balancing Business and Motherhood The flexibility of running a business can actually lead to more disruptions. How do you manage the unique challenges of being a mom and an entrepreneur?    -The Importance of Genuine Connection In a world full of repeated content, how do you find real advice and true connections?   -Building a Supportive Community BossMom+ can provide the support and advice you need to navigate the complexities of life and business. Why is it important to have a home base for moms building businesses?   

Have you ever felt like your business is on cruise control, where the excitement and motivation that once drove you have faded? This stage is what's known as the "danger zone," and it's a place many of us might find ourselves in without even realizing it.    The concept hit home for Kristen during a conversation with her fitness coach about her current state in her fitness journey. What became strikingly clear is that this danger zone is not just limited to fitness—it happens in business too. Let's look at a few highlights: The danger zone is a point in your journey where you're no longer driven by pain but haven't yet established a new goal to chase. It's human nature to avoid pain more than to chase desires Your business begins as a solution to this pain, but what happens when the pain is alleviated? Without a new goal, you risk entering the danger zone. Without the drive to move forward, complacency sets in. You might think there's an endpoint where you've completed your journey, but the truth is, the work never truly ends. Understand that growth often comes with discomfort. Be willing to put yourself in situations that challenge you and push you out of your comfort zone. Every entrepreneur reaches a point where the journey feels mundane and less exciting. It's normal, but it's also a signal that you need to push yourself further.   The danger zone is a reality for many business owners. It's where you might feel tempted to relax and coast, but it's also where you risk stagnation. Kristen encourages you to move out of the danger zone, find the motivation that will drive you to the next level, and achieve your goals. Don't let complacency take hold.

As entrepreneurs, we've been tricked into believing that a successful brand is all about having the perfect strategy or the best marketing techniques. So we work tirelessly, pouring their heart and soul into our businesses, only to feel disconnected, overwhelmed and burned out on marketing. Have you ever wondered why, despite your hard work, your business isn't growing as you hoped? The reality is that nurturing genuine connections and creating a loyal community takes more than just effort—it requires a deep understanding of your audience and a commitment to authenticity. In this episode, I share my journey of building a strong and connected community over the past decade. I reveal the proven ways that have helped me foster a sense of belonging among my followers and also talk about the mistakes I made along the way. "You can't help everybody, sometimes the people that need you the most don't have the bandwidth to do and implement what you want to teach them. You can't build a profitable business on the people that need you the most." -Dana Malstaff 3 Things You'll Learn in This Episode -Separate Yourself from Your Content If you don't take your content too personally, you won't be afraid to share your ideas and connect with others. How do you create a separation between your content and your identity? -Help Those Who Are Ready We want to help the people who need us the most but you can't build a business on people in survival mode. Who should we focus on instead? -Share a Common Goal When people believe in the same goal, they work better together. How do you tap into what you and your community want to change in the world?  

Are you the person who's constantly looking back at what your business once was? Wishing for the days when making a sale felt effortless, when your warm market connections seemed to be enough? The truth is, things have changed.    In today's episode Kristen delivers the hard truth about tapping into your cold market and asking the crucial question… are you still bought into this business, even knowing it's different, hard, and outside of your comfort zone? Let's look at a few highlights: Wishing for the old business creates resistance to your now. If you compare the present day team and business to the past, we are in a different landscape. One of the significant shifts in network marketing is the transition from warm market messaging to cold market engagement. The people you once relied on—friends, family, acquaintances—might not be enough to sustain your business anymore. If your customer base isn't yielding the same revenue, it's a sign that you need new eyes on your products. It's not enough to show up only when you're desperate or feeling scarcity. True success comes from being consistent, no matter the circumstances. Buying back in means embracing the changes, adapting your strategies, and continually selling yourself on the value and potential of your business.   Let's be real: this isn't your old business anymore. The landscape has changed, and clinging to the past won't drive your success in the present. It's time to decide—are you in this business or not? Are you ready to stop making excuses, adapt to the new reality, and put in the work?   The future of your business depends on your ability to evolve. It's time to stop dwelling on what used to be and start building what can be. Get out of your comfort zone, engage with the cold market, and commit to your business.   Join the Content to Conversations 7 Day Challenge for Social Sellers now and learn how to post to your followers to create awareness, curiosity, and desire---which will lead to more conversations.

Have you ever had someone join your team, only to quickly realize that this business model wasn't for them? Kristen has been noticing a significant issue: the stickiness problem. This has become a common theme in the social selling industry. But why do so many people come in and exit just as quickly?    In today's episode Kristen dives into the reasons behind this problem and explores ten strategies to improve retention and help your team members stick around.   Let's look at a few highlights: Stickiness refers to the ability to retain new team members effectively. It's about how many people join your team and how many actually stay and thrive. Kristen emphasizes that addressing these issues requires strategic changes in how leaders bring people onto their teams and support them once they join Consider what shifts you need to make in your approach to help people stick to your team. What questions can you ask during the vetting process? How can you better support new members in their initial days How can you work with new team members to adjust their expectations and recognize smaller, incremental successes rather than expecting immediate, large wins?   Not everyone is cut out for social selling, and it's crucial to differentiate between those who are serious about the opportunity and those who are merely wishful thinkers.   Remember, it's your team too. There is work you have to do to keep the "right" team members. Reflect on these points and consider the shifts you need to make to ensure you're attracting and retaining the best people for your team. What questions can you ask to ensure you're bringing in the right people and setting them up for success? The success of your team starts with your leadership and the standards you set.

In today's episode, Kristen is sharing her literal 2am thoughts that couldn't wait until the morning. These thoughts stem from recent conversations and a growing frustration with the smoke screens we encounter daily on social media about business.    It's easy to get caught up in the glamorous look of entrepreneurship—the posts promising effortless passive income and ultimate time freedom. But these visions are grossly exaggerated. They present an incomplete picture of what success in the online business space actually looks like. People are falling prey to these promises, naively stepping into spaces without understanding the pain and frustration they might face.    Kristen is here to tell the radical uncomfortable truth about business. The reality is, the hard parts of business have been minimized in the narratives we're fed.    Let's look at a few highlights: People are quitting too soon because they believe there's an easier path elsewhere. But the truth is, there is no “easier” when you aim to achieve big and impactful things in business. Growing your pain tolerance is a crucial part of being an entrepreneur. Pain is an inseparable companion on the journey to success. When you choose to tackle hard things, pain will always be there. Learn to unpack your relationship with pain. What is it bringing up for us? Most importantly, what is the pain trying to teach us? It's not about finding an easier path but about facing the challenges head-on and growing stronger through them.   So, next time you're scrolling through social media and see those posts about effortless success, remember this: the true path to success is paved with persistence, resilience, and a whole lot of grit. Let's stop running from the pain and start recognizing it for what it truly is.

As the temperatures rise and summer sets in, many business owners find themselves tempted to hit the pause button on their business. Kristen's heard it time and again "summer is crazy, and I have to slow down my business." With vacations, kids home and outdoor activities, it's easy to see why entrepreneurs might want to slow down. But here's the truth: your present actions will shape your future results. In today's episode, Kristen delivers an important message. Slowing down during the summer months can have lasting repercussions on your business pipeline and long-term growth. Let's look at a few highlights: The mistake many business owners make is failing to grasp the connection between present actions and future outcomes.  Your audience relies on you to be reliable and present. By staying the course, remaining consistent, and actively engaging with your audience, you lay the groundwork for long-term success.  Building a sustainable business means working diligently in every season, not just when it's convenient.   If you've convinced yourself that summer isn't the time for business growth, it's time to rethink your strategy. Don't sell yourself short by taking your foot off the gas pedal when the weather gets warmer. Instead, embrace the season as an opportunity to build, nurture, and thrive.  So, don't hit pause. Keep pushing forward, and you'll reap the rewards in the months to come. Join Kristen at the Summer of Success May 20-22 at noon CT each day. Learn how to work your business during a busy season.

Staying committed can often be the difference between success and failure. Kristen wastes no time in driving home this point, emphasizing the need for dedication to your business. But why is consistency so crucial? It's simple: trust. Building trust with your audience is paramount, and trust is forged through consistent action and delivery.   In today's episode Kristen explores how to revamp your business in just 90 days, focusing on the vital importance of commitment and providing value to your customers. However, commitment goes beyond simply chasing a paycheck.    Let's look at a few highlights: Kristen challenges us to look for non-monetary victories. It's about cultivating a "keep going" mentality, refusing to be deterred by setbacks and obstacles.  Ask yourself what does commitment look like for you? Unpack the driving force that propels you forward even when the going gets tough.  How can we authentically connect with our audience and meet their needs?   Commitment is more than just a mindset, it requires action. Kristen encourages us to commit to specific goals and strategies, whether it's through consistent social media presence, delivering valuable content, or nurturing relationships with our customers. It's about showing up consistently, day in and day out, and delivering on our promises.   And, remember that true success is not measured solely by financial gain.   Join Kristen at the Summer of Success May 20-22 at noon CT each day.

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.      Discover the power of reaching your ideal audience effortlessly with The Audience Accelerator' a game-changing 30-Day content strategy plan that will revolutionize your online presence through targeted marketing strategies and expert guidance.    Grab it for $27  https://kristenboss.com/the-audience-accelerator/   Learn how to grow your cold market inside the Social Selling Academy.

Navigating the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship, particularly for Boss Moms, involves constant shifts, uncertainties, and tough decisions. One of the most daunting challenges is the pivot – transitioning from a known, successful path to something uncertain.   It's not just about the business; it's about the emotional turmoil that comes with it. Doubts creep in - Will the change be worth it? What if it fails?   Contrary to popular belief, us moms don't have it all figured out so where do we go from here? How do we overcome the fears that come with a pivot in business?   In this episode, founder of Mother Like a Boss Kendra Hennessy joins me to talk about the emotional components of pivoting when owning a business, the ups and downs in entrepreneurship and how she took her in person business to the online world.   It feels really scary to leave something behind that is successful for something that is unknown. -Kendra Hennessy   3 Things You'll Learn in This Episode   -Is change necessary? How do we ‘shed our skin' to step into a new phase of who we are and what we want to become.   -The explanations behind our reasoning Why don't we have to justify our reasoning to those around us?   -Letting go and moving on Is it okay to grieve a part of our life that may be over?

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. Did you hear?

As moms, we're bombarded with advice from all angles - including successful men.  Should we really be taking advice from them?   Their success is undeniable, and they may make really great points, but can they truly understand the intricacies of motherhood? This dilemma leaves us torn between wanting to benefit from their wisdom and doubting if it truly applies to our lives.   How can we stop dismissing advice from successful men outright and adopt a more discerning approach?   In this episode, I talk about whether or not we should take advice from successful men as Boss Moms, how to identify the nuggets of wisdom that they share and when exactly we should heed their advice.   If people don't fit in with your belief system or moral compass then you're not going to want to take their advice no matter who they are. -Dana Malstaff   3 Things You'll Learn in This Episode   -Generalized marketing Do we need to listen to people who don't resonate with us?   -Everyone can add value How do we take the approach of learning from different angles?    -When to not take advice How do we figure out when advice is just not fit for us?  

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.   Listen to Liz's Podcast Plucking Up To learn more (and shop!) about Sseko Designs head over to their website   Did you hear?

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. Kristen and Scott's candid conversation reminds entrepreneurs that firing oneself from specific roles can unlock greater creativity and growth. As they redefine success through the lens of entrepreneurship, the journey becomes not just about business but about making a meaningful difference in the world.   Listen to Episode 184:  10x is Easier than 2x with Dr. Benjamin Hardy   Did you hear?

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.   The Social Selling Leadership School is OPEN!

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.   The Social Selling Leadership School is OPEN!

If you've ever felt caught in the rear-view mirror of your business, constantly looking back at "what was," it's time for a change. Dwelling on the past doesn't contribute to your growth. Instead, fix your eyes ahead, embracing a future-focused approach that propels you toward success.   While the term "hustle" might evoke thoughts of burnout and excessive effort. In today's episode Kristen provides the essential reminder of what hustle truly means. It's about getting your head in the game, picking up your pace, and being ready to fully engage.   Here are a few highlights: The truth is, hustling isn't about mindlessly running in circles; it's about being future-focused. Complacency has become prevalent, it's essential to acknowledge that success isn't about things getting easier. It's about getting better at doing hard things. With success comes embracing grit, hard work, and the sweat equity needed to elevate your skills. Standing out requires a thoughtful and strategic content strategy. It's not just about selling; it's about providing value and building a community around your brand. If every time it gets tough, you find yourself searching for the easy way out, it's time to reevaluate your approach   Redefine hustle as a force that propels you forward, guiding you toward success through intentional efforts, hard work, and a commitment to continuous growth.  Entrepreneurship doesn't guarantee immediate returns; it demands consistent effort and hard work. Valuing hard work means understanding that shortcuts rarely lead to sustainable achievements.   Right now, as a new year has just begun and your team is feeling motivated, excited, and ready to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty…This is THE perfect time to take advantage of the high energy and get your team in momentum for 2024.

It happens to the best of us. But the good news is that there's a strategy that might help you out, and Kristen's here to tell you all about it. It's called creating a time inventory.

In this episode, I introduce you to Christa G. Christa is from a little town not too far from me; but about six years ago moved to Michigan from Georgia. Christa is married and has two children that are almost 12 and 16. Christa ended up hearing one of my interviews on the Boss Mom podcast around 2015/2016. She knew when they got to Michigan that she wanted to start a wedding planning business. She got the Friday Workbox® to keep her on track and organized before they moved. She now runs her wedding planning business full time! She's known for planning unconventional weddings that reflect the character of the bride and groom.  When Christa first found me, my kids were about her kids' ages. We laughed about having these humans that look like adults in our homes and how they take up more space, have opinions, and different food preferences. Christa has been such a proactive mom that these little adults do their own laundry and can prepare meals for themselves…even if it's just frosted flakes! We rabbit trailed to what I call “selfish” laundry. Christa mentioned that she'd like to see her son wash more than just a uniform he needs for his sports team. When Greg says he's going to do the laundry and I see only his jeans got washed; I give him a hard time saying “Oh, we're doing selfish laundry today?” Christa and I agree to just put a full load in the wash instead.  She plans her meals for the week when she processes her Sunday Basket® and then the family sees what she'll be making and what nights they'll have to fend for themselves. We kind of have this going on at my house except we all have cars and we all have money. So we are all shopping and not all of the food is getting eaten. I remember my mom doing the “refrigerator review” which meant she'd heat up all the leftovers the night before garbage day. Whatever didn't get eaten, she'd toss. This was one more attempt at that food getting eaten instead of wasted. The Woodruff's are a work in progress in this area!  Christa managed to get her home life running pretty smooth and then she focused on her business. She has learned to become a person of excellence in one area and then build on her skill set. Weddings look so different for each couple. I shared that Greg and I were married 6 months after Greg finally proposed, it took him three years. Christa shared that she eloped. She normally hears “you made this process so much more calm than I expected it to be.” Wedding planners are there to have your back. They will read through all the contracts, search for options for flowers or other items you need, and pivot when needed. This way the bride doesn't get lost in the weeds of the details. She offered some wedding planning advice: Get help planning your wedding. Ideally a wedding planner, but if not rely on your wedding party to help.  Your budget will depend on the number of guests you have attending. So to stay within your budget you may consider a smaller invite list.  Find a venue that fits your vision to prevent additional spending in order to transform the space.  Hot button alert!!  You wanna hear a good story about a good venue and contracts? I shared what happened to Organize 365® with the Savannah Center. You will not see me doing business with them! Christa shared how she had to fight for a couple when at the last minute a venue decided to have their ballroom renovated leaving them to deal with a less than ideal wedding. You bet Christa got that money back!! That's the blessing of a wedding planner.  Christa's advice is, “learn to be flexible, readjust when needed and not be so rigid in what you want to happen. But feel out what is supposed to happen and what feels right.”  EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® Friday Workbox® The Productive Home Solution® Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  On the Wednesday podcast, I get to talk with members of the Organize 365­® community as they share the challenges, progress, missteps and triumphs along their organizing journey.
