32: Becoming Boss with Kristen Boss
Kristen Boss has a name made for business. She is a Mindset and Business Coach who specializes in helping women build their influence and grow their business that deeply aligns with their purpose. Pivoting from celebrity hairstylist to boutique owner to business coach has given Kristen a unique perspective. When she asked herself - Is this what I was meant to do? - she thought to all of the deep conversations she would have with those in her chair and realized she had been coaching for years. Questions to ask yourself when you’re trying to decide what to do - What would you do for free? What energizes you? What do I love? What brings me joy? When you don’t feel comfortable charging, make it about the people you’re helping. Your customers are worthy of spending money on their own transformation. Investment in themselves is a gift to your clients. What creative solutions can I bring to the market right now? Her Facebook group is called Becoming Boss - Online Sales & Social Selling and it’s very active. She finds a lot of very successful women in her group asking - Is this it? Is this all? And what’s next? Instead of being spammy, she talks about how important it is to sell solutions to their customers problems. People always want to buy solutions to their problems. If people feel like they deeply know you and resonate with you, they’ll want to buy from you. Provide value and then they’ll want to show you how much they value. Kristen says, “Every business needs a purposeful platform that speaks to an ideal audience that gives them great value and positions themselves as a problem solver.” We all have a money story and to help discover yours, Kristen recommends the book, ‘Money: A Love Story’. The 3 things she suggests you look for are - What are your feelings around money? Do you have emotions around money? What thought is creating those feelings? Look at if it is fear or gratitude. What ways can you add more value and more impact where people would thank you monetarily? Find out what thoughts, feelings and beliefs you have around money. We discuss what thoughts and beliefs Kristen had around money and how she addressed them. There’s money shame, just like poverty shame and this made her feel uncomfortable and she had to work through those beliefs. Kristen feels money amplifies who you already are. Generous people become more generous. After working through her money stories, Kristen started working with a high level coach. Her new money story became “When I invest, I always make it back.” You have the power to create your own results. Self doubt can really bring you down. When you choose to put your money down, you’re saying you believe you’ll make it back and you believe in yourself. When you invest big in yourself you know you are the business owner who does this. It’s not an amateur, side hustle move, it’s a career move. Kristen’s definition of success is knowing she is living fully, with purpose and with impact. She always measures it by how many others she is helping. The three words that come to mind when Kristen thinks of the word money - neutral, abundant and available.
