    182. Content Entitlement

    182. Content Entitlement

    The content we consume and create on social media platforms has become an integral part of our daily lives. We are constantly bombarded with content from all corners of the internet. Whether we are the creators or the consumers of this content, there are two distinct categories that many of us find ourselves falling into. 
     
    In today's episode, Kristen unpacks creator content entitlement and consumer entitlement. These categories often lead to frustration and unmet expectations, but with a mindset shift, we can find a newfound approach to content creation and consumption.
     
    Let's look at a few highlights:
    Content creators often crave validation through likes, follows, and shares, which can sometimes breed a sense of entitlement. Success in content creation requires patience. Consistency, quality, and quantity are vital, but instant success is rare. Embrace a giving mentality on social platforms. Engage with others' content just as you'd like them to engage with yours. It's a mutually beneficial approach. We often expect free access to content, from advice to entertainment. While this expectation isn't inherently wrong, it can promote passive consumption without reciprocation.
    Content entitlement comes in two forms, and it's crucial to recognize which category you might fall into. Whether you're a content creator or a consumer, clarity in how you use, create, and consume content is essential. Reframing your mindset, understanding the effort required, and fostering a culture of support rather than entitlement can lead to a more meaningful social media experience.

    181. The Bridge of Consumer Trust

    181. The Bridge of Consumer Trust

    Social media serves as a vital tool in the realm of social selling. Still, it frequently raises questions among social sellers about the optimal strategies and how to navigate the constantly shifting terrain. Social selling is more than just offering products—it's about constructing a sturdy bridge of trust. 
     
    Kristin explores the essential strategies and invaluable insights that can pave your way to success and ultimately impact your social selling business through the power of social media.
     
    Let's look at a few highlights:
    It's not just about selling but building a relationship based on trust and credibility. One common mistake in social selling is focusing solely on your products. Trust goes beyond that. It's about positioning yourself as a reliable source of information and assistance. Share your knowledge, experiences, and insights. Trust isn't given; it's earned. Multiple referrals are your path to building trust. One good referral sets the bar for your credibility. When customers have a positive experience, they return again and again. Offer solutions to problems, share valuable content, and engage in meaningful conversations.  
    Social selling is about more than products; it's about building trust. By focusing on converting, engaging, and sharing valuable content, offering examples, and leveraging the power of referrals, you'll build a bridge of consumer trust that strengthens your relationship with your audience. Trust is the currency of social selling, and with patience and authenticity, you can watch your social selling business thrive.

    180. Unlikely Places

    180. Unlikely Places

    During a recent walk, Kristen came to a profound realization as she stumbled upon a flower pushing through a crack in the concrete. This flower persevered against all odds, and it got Kristen thinking about the remarkable places, especially in her business journey, where she's experienced growth against all expectations. Like that resilient flower, our personal and professional growth often emerges from the most unlikely circumstances.
     
    Consider the moments in your life, especially in your business, where you've experienced significant growth in unexpected circumstances. These are the times when you discover your inner strength and tenacity, breaking through barriers that might have seemed impossible.
     
    In today's episode, Kristen:
    Challenges you to think about the environments that try to stifle our progress and ask yourself a crucial question: What aspects of our circumstances can we control and change? Encourages you to ask yourself: How badly do you want to achieve your desired outcomes? Your commitment and determination are the fuel that propels you forward. The stronger your desire, the more resilient you become in the face of adversity. Reminds you to embrace each season, knowing that even the most unlikely places and challenging times can yield beautiful growth.  
    As you navigate your life paths, remember that your growth often occurs in the most unlikely places and seasons. Embrace resistance, take control of your environment, and persevere with determination. You may be surprised by the lovely things that can bloom within you, even in the unlikeliest of places.

    179. Going Alone

    179. Going Alone

    In life, especially in entrepreneurship, we often face the challenging question: "How do you keep going when your friends and family don't support what you're doing?" It's a question that resonates with many of us at various points in our journeys. We feel like nobody is cheering for us, and there is no one in our corner. It can be an isolating experience, but it doesn't mean you're truly alone.
     
    Let's look at a few highlights:
    When you choose growth, you attract those who value growth just as much as you do. You have the power to choose the kind of life you want to lead, and sometimes that means going it alone. If you surround yourself with people who adopt a victim mentality, you'll find it challenging to break free from that mindset. Ultimately, the decision to go after your dreams, even when it feels like you're going alone, is a choice to live a life of growth. Embrace the journey of going alone because, in doing so, you open yourself up to the extraordinary life you deserve. You might spend your energy trying to convince others of the validity of your dream. You're exhausting yourself, attempting to gain support and validation from those around you. It's essential to realize that as you evolve and chase your dreams, you've changed. Your perspective and priorities have shifted. But here's the thing: Your dreams are valid, regardless of whether or not others acknowledge them

    178. Desires and Priorities

    178. Desires and Priorities

    Have you ever caught yourself saying, "I really want..."? We've all been there. That longing for something, whether a new skill, a healthier lifestyle, a successful business, or more money in our savings accounts. Have you noticed that your actions often don't quite line up with what you say you want? Kristen shares her own experience with the struggle of desires and priorities.
     
    Let's look at a few highlights:
     We often think we want something, but our actions might reflect a different level of commitment. We often lack clarity; therefore, we lack action.  Often, you'll find that the barrier to prioritization isn't external—it's internal. It's not that you don't desire it, but you're hesitant to commit to the work it entails. Prioritization is based on values. Kristen emphasizes that what we value, we prioritize. It's easy to like an idea, but committing to it requires more. Sometimes, we are unwilling to do the work, so ask yourself, "Why."
    Embrace the stories, doubts, and vulnerabilities holding you back. Challenge yourself to explore why your desires aren't currently a priority and take steps to change that narrative. By bridging the gap between what you say you want and the actions you take, you'll discover a newfound consistency that propels you toward your goals.
     
    Why is this not a priority right now? What steps can I take to change that? Remember, when you make something a priority, everything starts falling in line. It's a powerful realization that can reshape your path.

    177. Achieving Success with ADHD

    177. Achieving Success with ADHD

    Too often, ADHD is used as a blanket excuse for not achieving success. In today's episode, Kristen debunks this narrative and reminds you that you do, in fact, have the power to redefine your journey and rewrite your story. The presence or absence of ADHD doesn't determine success but your dedication, effort, and willingness to adapt.
     
    In this episode, you'll learn:
    The journey isn't about overcoming ADHD but instead working with it. By understanding your creative processes and leveraging ADHD as a strength, you can unlock your full potential. Shame has no place in your journey. Your ADHD doesn't define your worth, capabilities, or potential. A crucial part of the journey is addressing the story that you can't have success because of ADHD. Instead, ask: Where is my natural productivity? How can I align my strengths with my goals? The power in exploring environments where you thrive and assemble a supportive team that understands your neurodivergent perspective.  
    By embracing your neurodivergent brain, understanding your strengths, and working with your processes, you can unlock a world of potential. This conversation is vital and empowering, affirming that a neurodivergent mind is not a barrier to success but a catalyst for growth, innovation, and self-discovery.

So glad I found this podcast!

So much value for network marketers!

I love this podcast and Kristen Boss! So much has changed in network marketing in the last three years and as someone who has been involved for 18 years I needed some guidance to navigate the new direction the industry is going. I am learning more about social media and building a sustainable business for myself and I love how she reminds me to calm my butt down! I signed up for her Social Selling Academy and it is truly an amazing asset to have as I continue to grow. Thanks so much for everything you do! ♥️

Lyan02 ,

Awesome Resource!

I’m currently enrolled in Kristen’s Recruit Reboot and it’s honestly so eye opening! I was led to her podcast by my sponsor and started with the Post COVID Effect episode and my mind is blown because it truthfully never occurred to that COVID was the big reason behind the success I had in 2020. It explained so much and has given me a renewed sense of what I need to do now. Looking forward to listening to more episodes for sure!
