A 6-Figure Client from Their Website
18m · PublishedIn this episode, Kristin shares a major client success story (a 6-figure client booking!) and highlights the key takeaways we can all learn from this big win. She emphasizes that a website is like a storefront and digital business card in the online space, and even if most of your business comes from referrals, people will still look you up. Kristin also discusses the benefits of using website templates instead of custom websites, explaining that templates can be customized to fit your branding and messaging. She then outlines key elements of a successful website, including clear messaging, legibility, and a professional vibe. Finally, Kristin reminds listeners that building a business takes time and that each client can contribute to its growth.
Other People's Opinions About Your Dreams & Goals
34m · PublishedDuring Christmas time in the midst of a conversation with a family friend, I mentioned how I wanted to work the same amount of time I work now and make WAYYYY more money.
She laughed a little like as if wanting to say "well, wouldn't that be nice!". Her reaction to this was like I was a bit crazy and it's not possible.
Then I gave her real life examples of people creating exponential quantum leap type growth in their business. Women I follow in the online space tripling their business's income in a year. Women making multi-millions of dollars working part time hours with their kids.
I could see her mind starting to open up and shift a little bit more.
It can be easy sometimes to buy into other people's opinions about what we want to with our life.
I'm sure you've been there at some point where you open up to someone about an idea or goal you have: whether it be creating a new business, switching careers, making more money, working while raising kids, travel dreams, lifestyle dreams.
And their reaction or comments about what you've shared creates a bit of doubt or deflation in you.
When this happens we can sometimes second guess ourselves, lower our dreams and expectations, or feel a bit frozen in indecision.
Sometimes people sit for so long on big ideas or changes because of the doubt that was instilled in them from others.
First I want you to remember - no one else can actually do this to you.
No one else actually has the power to make you doubt yourself, to feel deflated, or to make you second guess yourself.
We are in control of taking outside information in (other people's opinions) - and deciding what we want to do this that information.
And so in this episode I want to share a few useful perspectives on how we can approach receiving opinions from other people about our goals and dreams that are not in our favor.
Create Goals that Really Stick
25m · PublishedWelcome to a brand new year! It's that time when many set new intentions/goals for the year, and get excited about what's to come.
As I've been going through my own goal setting and future visioning process for this year, I've felt called to share more of how I'm approaching this with you all.
The traditional way people approach setting their goals for the year would be to write down a list of what you want to achieve for the year (however long or short).
This is typically a simple and to the point list of changes you'd like to make, and what you'd like for your life to look like in the future.
Listen to the full episode to check out the tips for working with your unconscious mind with goal setting.
If you want to learn more about how to actually implement this for yourself....
Join me for the Aligned Goal Activation Workshop!
After going through my own goal activation process, I've been feeling pulled to share this with you in a very practical and actionable way!
Here's what this workshop will look!
DAY 1: Chose your aligned goal(s) for this year
DAY 2: Write a detailed visualization of your goals incorporating subconscious language (using NLP - bringing in all 5 senses)
