    Takeaways from My Recent Wins

    Takeaways from My Recent Wins

    In this episode, Kristin shares three recent wins in her business and her biggest takeaways from each that you can apply to your journey.
     
     
    The first win is a 40% increase in business revenue in 2023 compared to 2022. The second win is the transition of a team member from part-time to a full-time salaried employee with benefits. The third win is the purchase of one of Girlboss Designer's website templates by Manifestation Babe for their latest venture - Manifested Adventures.
     
     
    The main takeaways from these wins are the importance of focusing on money management, not basing the future on the past, small steps forward can lead to big accomplishments that feel normal, and realizing that people you admire are in closer proximity than you think.

    How To Maximize Your Website Launch

    How To Maximize Your Website Launch

    The time has finally come when you're ready to share your brand new website to the world, how exciting!
     
     
    Maybe you're a brand new business or you've redone an existing website. Either way, it's so much fun to show off your new website to everyone.
     
     
    I want to give you some tips to help maximize this, so you can get the most out of this really exciting moment to increase your visibility and leads for your business.
     
     
    I've broken this down into two parts.
     
     
    One part will be talking about tips for maximizing your website launch for a brand new business. And then I also want to touch on if you're an existing business doing a relaunch of your brand or website, how to maximize it for you.
     
     
    There are definitely a lot more tips for the brand new business because there's just a lot more going on here. Like it's a brand new business. You're revealing it for the first time.
     
     
    Someone who's established, who's relaunching their website. They've already kind of been building that audience over time. People already know who they are. It's a little bit of a different situation, but I do want to touch on both. And we're going to start with the brand new business.
     
     
    FOR A BRAND NEW BUSINESS
     
    Begin building your social media and audience ahead of time vs waiting until the website is done
    Begin your email list ahead of time (add existing personal and professional contacts)
    Have a way to capture emails easily on the site when it goes live (freebie) - the launch will be the most high-traffic time
    Get your audience excited with a lead up & maybe even sneak peeks
    SHARE big time everywhere when you're ready! (email list, all socials, mailable card etc)
    Ask your friends and family members to share
     
    FOR AN EXISTING BUSINESS DOING A RE-LAUNCH
     
    Have a way to capture emails easily on the site when it goes live (freebie) - the launch will be the most high-traffic time
    Get your audience excited with a lead up & maybe even sneak peeks
    SHARE big time everywhere when you're ready! (email list, all socials, mailable card etc)
    If you're changing your business name with this launch - start talking about the transition ahead of time

    A 6-Figure Client from Their Website

    A 6-Figure Client from Their Website

    In 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

    Other People's Opinions About Your Dreams & Goals

    During 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

    Create Goals that Really Stick

    Welcome 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)
    DAY 3:  Create your Vision Board - templates for phone background, printable, & laptop background
    DAY 4:  Have a plan for what to do next moving forward
