Being efficient in your day-to-day tasks helps you improve your productivity, minimize costs, increase efficiency, and streamline processes. Whether it be tracking your website traffic, sending e-commerce reminders, posting to social media, generating leads, or converting more sales - there is technology available to help you execute these recurring tasks. “Business automation is not just a luxury; it is a necessity in today’s competitive environment,” says Sathvik Tantry of FormSwift. Where to start? If you find yourself performing the same monotonous tasks day in and day out, find a system or business tool to make you more productive in this area! In Branding Bites Podcast Ep 87, I share my top 12 business tools for efficiency. (link in bio) While it might be pricier to implement automated processes initially, it will save you money and increase your business efficiency in the long run!! 😉 
🚫 You DO NOT need to be empowered! Girl, show up and stop asking permission! While most women use the term "empower" to help other women be stronger and more confident, especially in controlling their lives and claiming their rights – if you really dissect the meaning, I don’t think ANY WOMAN needs to be given authority or permission to do something. Empower: verb give (someone) the authority or power to do something. You don't need someone else to give you the okay to speak your mind, start a business, or sit in top positions within a company. All you need is an opportunity!!! ...then show up, and you do you! 
I cry when I watch Shark Tank.😭 It's inevitable... every time I listen to the painful, challenging journey that entrepreneur has had up until their TV debut I cry. Why? Because I can relate to every word and feel each tear they shed. I've cried them too. I've given up for short times. I've yelled and cussed. I've been disappointed. I've lacked confidence in my skills. I've wasted time and money. But every time I awake in the morning, I believe in myself to try another day. God didn't get me this far, only to go this far. I know that to my core. How do I know that? I have the experience, skills, and STORY that's relatable to you and my clients.... just how I relate to those Shark Tank entrepreneurs. So that's why I share it as much as I can! Last week I had a new client send me this message that reassured my belief... "I interviewed an embarrassing amount of people to help me with these tasks, and I just loved your confidence, enthusiasm, and strategy. I also love that you've done this yourself. I feel uneasy about hiring someone who's not doing what they're going to promote for me." @corebrandmarketing Your story matters. Believing in yourself matters. ❤️ Always remember that. 
How much POWER are you sitting on that you aren't doing anything with? 😏 Yes, YOU! The one who got up today, got everyone off to school and out the door, and put herself last. 👉 Have you ever took time to sit quietly to recognize the power YOU already possess? The power that's so covered up in layers of self-doubt and fear you haven't seen even a glimpse of it in decades. You still have it.... it’s still there, just waiting to come alive. 💯 Let this be the encouragement post for today that you stumbled upon that was meant for you to hear. Get out your shovel 😘 today is the day you start to uncover the power, skills, talents, and experiences that can HELP so many people. 
It's this simple. LOVE what you do and who you serve and you'll never complain about work ever again. 😉 
Celebrating Mother’s Day in Key West isn’t so bad! 😎🌴 wishing all you mamas the best day and year ever!! 👏 
Don't do it alone. I'm stubborn 😜 so I know 'joining anything social' can be a big trigger of anxiety for you. But don't worry - we aren't pairing you up and making you do a presentation to the class! 😆 The Social Note is for YOU! ✨ The woman who has been piling up the courage to DO SOMETHING MORE. Something with MORE: ⭐ purpose and fulfillment ⭐ heart and healing ⭐ stability and safety ⭐ focus and optimism ⭐ time-saving systems ⭐ passion ⭐ time freedom For years I was hesitant to JOIN MEMBERSHIPS because I thought they were all the same. But they aren't... So why did I create a membership? It's pretty simple... I know I have SO MUCH value to offer a woman looking to start, strengthen or scale an online business. I have 20 years of experience in this space. Yes, I have kick-ass online courses and Yes, I have 1:1 consulting and creative services for content marketing and sales funnels. BUT what was missing was the MIDDLE - a place where I can teach and get more personal with my clients... but on a much more affordable level than working 1:1 with me. Many women have what it takes mentally to build their own business but they need a helping hand to lead them along with the right systems, tools, and features as they build their own brand. That's what this membership does! It gives you a mix of an online course and working with me 1:1. I took what I loved most about memberships and created MY OWN membership style. In the meantime, ditching the content overwhelm and repetitive noise. You are your biggest investment. But the question remains, are you willing to invest in yourself for $25 a month? Inside The Social Note membership, you'll find accountability, a support system, a business building framework, and women who've gone through similar experiences as you! Ditch the negative nellies - sit at the table with women who GET YOU! Your next step is to join us while our membership doors are still open for just $25 a month!

Do you know what I DISLIKE most about memberships for women? All the NOISE. 😆 I don't know if it's the introvert in me. The fact that I can't stand fluff. Or that I'm a straight-forward 'give me what I need to know' so I can put my head down and work kind of entrepreneur. But most memberships (especially ones in over-crowded Facebook groups!) don't work for me. ❌ I don't have time to read a zillion questions or comments or enough time or patience to sit through LIVE hour-long, weekly zooms. That may be the membership style for you - but it's not my type. I've learned this, I know this about me, and that's why I'm setting the record straight... The Social Note Membership is NOT that kind of membership. • I love courses but I also love getting to know the trainers on a personal level. • I appreciate real and honest stories of struggle. • I appreciate being surrounded by women who are there IF and WHEN I need them. But most of all - I want the trainer to KNOW ME, SEE ME, and HELP ME. 😉 (if I ask for it!) Inside The Social Note, you're gonna learn BUSINESS. I have 20 years of business-building experience under my belt... and that's not counting @jennydoesgrace! I know what it takes to start, strengthen, and scale. I also know MARKETING is key to success... it's why content marketing is a huge part of what we cover in our Success Path. Yep! 🙌 You read that right. Not everyone who comes into The Social Note will be at the same stage. That's why we've developed our exclusive Social Note Success Path designed to streamline your entrepreneur journey and help move you forward to make progress. We check in on YOU with personalized texts - which means you can text me at any time! (only if you want, that is) So if you aren't joining The Social Note because you think you'll just be another member in the mix - you are sadly wrong! I try to get to know every member so I know how to serve them best! Try us out! It's $25/mo but only through May 4th. The 'old Kristin' would leave that price forever - but the 'new Kristin' knows her worth and extreme value she brings - the regular price will eventually be $97 a month.

Trust the science. 😜 Alright, I understand. You don't like to feel 'uncomfortable.' But what if I told you the reason you're feeling stuck in life and business is that you are too comfortable. By being in your daily routine, you aren't improving your production, creativity, and learning in the long run. What this means is your routine is dulling your sensitivities. You are tuning out much of your life by this comfort zone you live in daily. It's science. ⚗️ There was a study testing the memory of participants. When you mix repetition with new information - you trigger the release of dopamine, nature's make-you-happy chemical from a unique region of the brain that is only activated when you see or experience entirely new things. 😮 My friend 🚗 stop driving the same repeat route day after day! Embrace a new path, put yourself in unfamiliar situations, experience new things, and above all, get uncomfortable! Spark creativity; leave your comfort zone so you can grow and benefit from that discomfort. How? @jointhesocialnote Our doors are closing in a few days for new members, and I don't want to see you stay zoned out any longer. You have too many experiences under your belt to serve others with. My co-creator @jennydoesgrace and I are helping women every day, just like you, step into their uniqueness to build a lasting business. Don't stay comfortable - you have TOO MUCH to offer others. Get uncomfortable with us! LINK IN BIO to join us today before it's too late! jointhesocialnote.com

Girl stop letting the (un)support of others derail you! This isn't their calling - they don't get it. And that's okay. Because you don't get them.

I bought into the hype. I didn't start that business with my own product story. I gave in to the pressure of profit. 😔 So when I came across this quote from Steve Jobs, I immediately sunk into my chair. "Unless you have a lot of passion about this, you're not going to survive. You're going to give it up. So, you've got to have an idea, or a problem or a wrong that you want to right that you're passionate about; otherwise, you're not going to have the perseverance to stick it through. I think that's half the battle right there." I didn't have a passion for my former direct sales company, so I gave it up. 👎 I didn't wake up every day and want to talk about the products. 👎 It took me months to gain my own story around the products to share authentically. 👎 It didn't bring me true joy. 👎 I wasn't building a purpose-driven business. 👎 Many parts felt yuck and pushy. So why would I stay with it for eight years? ❤️ I was building women up!!!!! Even though that business wasn't the final stop for me, God set me there to have honest conversations with women who lived in a mediocre bubble because they didn't have the confidence to kick fear to the curb. I was empowering women and pouring all the confidence I could into them. Five years into that business is when I started feeling the pull to do other things. I tapped into passions and skills I didn't realize I had until others began complimenting me on them. When I look back, I realize I was trying to make them passionate about something I wasn't even passionate about myself. #leadermistake But what I do know now is WHEN YOU CHOOSE PASSION over profit, you have no lack of motivation. You may need a jolt in the butt from time to time to kick fear to the curb to gain more confidence, but when you are stepping into your God-given talents and interests, you live a life with purpose with REAL FREEDOMS. In this instance 👉 giving up was the best business decision that I have ever made! I share these raw feelings because I know many of you feel stuck in your social selling space. I'm not telling you to quit. But maybe it's time you gave attention to those compliments you've received 👉 @jointhesocialnote 
Something was off. 😔 When Jenny and I met at a leadership retreat a few years into our network marketing journeys - we were raising our hands to learn everything we could to take our respective businesses to the next level. Year after year, we'd set new title and income goals with the belief that these would bring us the happiness and freedoms we wanted in our lives. At the time, we both had young children, and staying home with them while earning a respectable income was our top priority. Jenny had stepped away from a demanding corporate career, and I a male-dominated beverage marketing one. But instead of obtaining fulfillment, all we found was a moving finish line. Although we did see glimpses of financial success, we never attained our true purpose until we started listening to God. Although Jenny and I were immediately were drawn to each other based on our love of all things creative, we quickly discovered that our connection was much more profound than creative ideas. ❤️ We recognized we had a passion for stepping into our own purpose and helping others do the same. It was a deep drive to serve the underdog, the people who felt lesser than - but also knew they had something special. That is where it all started, and it is nearly impossible for us not to collaborate and share all that we learned over the past several years with you. We've been continually stepping out into faith and trusting in the path God has been leading us along. And although network marketing is still a part of our lives, it's not the purpose of it. We've discovered our (individual) callings by reflecting on our life experiences and pivots, and we can't wait to offer this same gift of "becoming" to you inside The Social Note Membership. 🙌 The DOORS ARE NOW OPEN for new members! This is the last time we will be offering our grandfather pricing of $25 per month with no enrollment fee. (Ends May 4th) We are serving women who want to step into their uniqueness, go from feeling frustrated and defeated to developing their brand in a humble, confident, and impactful way to offer others value.
