Now, maybe that doesn't work for the next person. Maybe, you know, one of the people who came to me, maybe they don't have that kind of faith in God, maybe they don't have that kind of relationship. Maybe they don't have that kind of trust. Maybe, I don't know. All I can do is say, This is what worked for me. I handed it over, I've had people say, How do you even hand it over? What does that even mean? I can tell you what it means to me, and I can tell you how I told my kids how I taught them how to hand it over in situations that was too much for them.  (4:18)

•    What is your definition of giving up? Because you still have to go on... You still have to wake up every day. You still have to put one foot in front of the other, is it rolling over and letting whatever happen take over and beat you, or is it to rise above it and create a plan and recreate something more than you had before? So what would you choose? We've talked about the 90-day plan and we've gone into detail with it, I've provided a download for it on my website as well, this isn't just for building a business plan, it can be for anything, any goal you have, it is a road map to a goal, now, there are a lot of people, especially entrepreneurs. When you think goals, you think of business goals... Well, that's how we operate. However, guess what? There's more to life than business. (6:45)

Here's another thing that I feel is really, really important, when I say, don't dwell on the negative things of the past, learn from them, make sure that you don't repeat any behaviors or repeat things fall into traps.  (13:44)

It most likely is not gonna be necessarily something that you want, it may be something that you already have for me, it's my deck, it's my backyard, it's my sanctuary outside where I'm able to get in touch with myself, I'm able to sit in that quiet.

]]> 72-Starting Over ~ Life Edition Kristina Sjolund 00:20:49 Welcome back to the Unleashed Podcast, I am your host, Kristina Sjolund. A couple of weeks ago, I did a podcast on how to start over, what would you do if you had to start over? If you lost everything. Now, that one was about business, because it is a real fear, there’s a lot of people, especially over the last year, who have had their businesses collapse, especially brick and mortar businesses, It’s a tough time right now. And for many people, they have lost everything and they’ve had to start over, and because a lot of times my podcast is about business, because I really am thinking about business all the time, it’s sort of one of my languages. It was really the focus of that previous episode. This week I want to focus on personal loss. Now, I can’t and will never speak to something that I’ve not experienced, you’ll hear me speak about my story, how I got through the challenges that I’ve been through, and I can only hope that you find something in my story that can help you.

•  We go through our lives and we have these dreams, we've got these expectations of our lives, and we sit here and we wonder, how do we get there? How do we reach this goal? Now, believe it or not, there are some people who don't have those kind of visions, those kind of dreams, but most likely those people aren't listening to this podcast. Because they just, they don't have visions like you do. You have visions of something that you want to happen in your life, you've got a place, you've got somewhere that you want to go...a goal to get to. (02:16)

•  That's the kind of world that we live in now, everybody labels and the world of social media is vicious. Social media, it has helped a lot of people. It's helped me. If I didn't have social media, I wouldn't have been able to reach the people that I've been able to reach to build my business and create the connections that I've had that have moved me forward in my life. But I'll tell you this, that social media can be just as vicious, and what I want you to do is break the chains of that, I don't want you living in the chains of the labels. And I don't care who it is, I don't care if it is your family, your friends, your spouse or your kids. (04:11)

•  If you're listening to this, I hope that you are a believer. I am a believer, I have faith, I know that God is real, I know that. I will tell you something, we have been blessed beyond measure in my family, and I know why, I know why, I don't live by somebody else's labels, I don't live by somebody else's judgment, I'm only judged by one, and that's not even me. Even though sometimes I sit here, and I might make judgments about my pictures and stuff like that, but that's not truth. (5:28)

•  I'll never forget that. I am mad that I did believe it, but also it drove me to be more... It drove me to be more than that. It drove me to be something that I was told that I couldn't be successful. But whose idea of success are we living up to? Is it our idea of success, is it somebody else's idea of success? Because let me also tell you this, that once you reach a level of success, you're then criticized by a lot of the same people who told you that you couldn't do something, who told you that you couldn't do just that, and then you did. (8:09)

•  It doesn't even take money, your faith is free, your faith and your belief in yourself is free. It doesn't cost you anything to move forward, you've got to take action though, if you want to be successful in any way. If you want to be able to pay your bills. Okay, that to me, there's a success right there. If you can pay your bills with comfort and still be able to breathe and enjoy your family later on, that to me, my friends, is success, winning. Continue winning. I love winning. (10:32)

This week, I am sharing an encore presentation of a very popular episode. Listen to a different tips and ideas that have helped me, because I figure I'm the regular old person... Okay, well, I'm not old, we're only as old as we feel we are, but I'm just a regular old person. I am no different than you, or the next person down the street, and I wanna make sure that what has worked for me gets passed along to be able to work for somebody else. Because we're all kind of the same, we're navigating through this same crazy world, we have different things that come at us, we've got different things that God has presented to us, different situations, maybe something that I have gone through is something that you're going through right now. And whatever helped me, just might help you as well. Listen in... Hello and welcome back to The Unleashed Podcast. I'm your host, Kristina Sjolund.

Listen in... no full 71 045ebaec-70df-47d7-bdf4-f2626baa59a1 70-What Would You Do If You Lost Everything? •   So it's something that you're going to have to keep going back to, it's the map. It's what you do. It's kind of like throwing spaghetti against the wall, you can just kind of go with things any way, but you're going to really want to have this foundation and do this every time with every business that you build. (4:38)

•  What type of business is it, and why does it exist? So your mission statement, or your mission statement is your business's reason for existing, and what it represents. So if you think about Tesla, Tesla, their mission statement is to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy. Tesla and Elon Musk, they've got their vision and they're working towards it every single day. The dude doesn't stop...he literally does not stop. (7:39)

•  You have to set boundaries. So I won't sacrifice my important time with my kids, all time with my kids is important. Right? But I remember there was our 20-year class reunion, and I was supposed to go... I hadn't been... I think I missed my 10 year, and I was supposed to go to the 20-year. I was really looking forward to it, but my daughter had a race, she raced quarter midgets, and I was like, Man, I really don't want to miss this race because she gets really excited about it and everything. Okay, so I did not go to the reunion, and thank God I didn't, because that was her first race that she won that day, had I gone, I would have missed that. (12:32)

•  So, you're going to use social media, messenger, posts, groups, wherever you're going to have your contacts, share posts and whatnot. You can use phone. Now these, these are just five ideas, these are not set in stone, if you've got other ways to be able to do it, write those down. Whatever it is that you're going to be launching. These are just ideas. Alright, so phone, where you're going to use your phone for texting, person-to-person voice calls, communication apps such as Marco Polo, that's like a video texting service, voice texting, but your best way is to have an actual live conversation. (17:51)

•  While you're building that up and dripping in and the social media design, map out your messages. So I had in the beginning, I had eight podcast subjects, eight subjects that I wanted to speak on, and then I just started mapping those out, I started creating the message for each of those, and then go ahead and work on strengthening your business plan because the stronger your foundation, the better. And the stronger and longer it's going to be around. Don't feel the need for it to be perfect, you just need it to be there. You've got to just have that vision to start with, and remember why you're doing it. (24:10)

And today, I want to talk about something that happened in an interview. I was asked this question, What if you lost everything today, and you had to start over from scratch? Well, my initial reaction is, I would put my nose to the grindstone, I would be hitting it, whatever it is, and I wouldn't stop. I would have my blinders on, I would be grinding hard. Right? Well, that is really easy to say, but there's more to it than that. Then I really start to think about the details and the mapping out of everything, if you want to have something with longevity and you want to make something that's very impactful, that's going to build a foundation and stick around, you're have to map it out.

(02:43)

•  I don't believe that my parents believe that I could do anything, they believed in who I was as an individual, and I think that this was probably the most instrumental thing, that for me, because they didn't ask me to be my brother, they didn't ask me to be in those things, and my daughter said it to me the other day, which is awesome. I said, Be yourself, always. (04:48)

•  It was desperation, it wasn't like an entrepreneurial spirit, it was like, we got free lunch at school, so we are got five tickets for free because we didn't have enough money to be able to get lunch, and then me and my brother would sell them and then we would buy the kind of lunch that we wanted. (8:24)

•  I want to write it like I talk... When you read the book, and my take on this, I like when you read a book, it's like we're having a conversation like and I may not win a A in  how to write a book, but that was me, it came from my voice, and so I had wanted to do it for so long, and then my wife literally said, Why don't you shut up and go do it. (11:49)

SHOW NOTES:

•   First of all, I want you to share your story with everybody who's listening, because I feel like there's a lot of people who see very successful people, and they think that those people just have always been successful. They've always had money, or they've always been in that top percent, and I want you to share where you came from, where your situation when you decided, I'm not going to stay in this place.(03:27)

•   Because I feel like it's similar to where I grew up, I never really knew anything outside of go to school, get a job, work your way up, do everything you can to impress your family, make them proud of you serve, serve, serve. I was raised in the church, and I just tried to always follow the rules, so I think the turning point for me was when I followed all the rules, and life still tanked that I knew something had to be wrong with the rules. It's kind of like what's going on in the world right now. Everybody's just wondering and following a set of rules that they stood by for so long and they don't realize that sometimes they need to find their own. (05:11)

•   It was everything I knew and believed in, so I was determined to make it work. So, I got involved with network marketing, and I was officially the worst human they'd ever seen, I was so afraid and so broken down, and I sucked at sales. I knew nothing about sales, I was doing phone TV, internet as electricity, I was disconnecting people's phones, I was screwing it up, royally. People are like, we've had this phone over in our family for generations, I'm like, Well, isn't it nice to bring in the new year with new, and they're like, No, it's not. And I was like, I'm really sorry. So I was really, really bad. Even my mentors who were some of the top 10 in the world, I think it was just a gift they were given to me, were like, Honey, you're not great at this, like maybe you should seek other avenues and work on this on the side for the next decade and see if it'll work. (09:20)

•   I really think I build their bravery enough to where they're brave enough, and we can have this conversation, the pin drop. And I'm like, I can build a business around that. So it's really helping someone be confident enough in that inner idea for a moment, and if they give me a moment, I can lay out a plan and a strategy for almost everything. Because my life was like three kids on my own having to do everything school, sports, house, everything, and I had to be so strategic in my every move that I can see someone's strategy from a mile away. They're like, it's the how I've got, it's the what that I need your help with.  (16:17)

•   You've got the ripple effect. But a big one, and I feel like there are... How do I phrase this? So now I watch your Friday night lives and your posts and everybody, and all of the comments, and I think because I know you, and that it's not that I take it for granted, but I know how special you are, and not just me but to me and my girls, and I see all of those people who see you and you're such an inspiration to them, and I know that you inspire them so much and they just want to be in your presence.

(4:20)

• They're dealing with financial fears and ramifications, what's going to happen with the housing market, there's just so many different things, and I think that's one thing that I've been able to really find us that hope, and I just want to encourage everybody today that... Number one, there is hope, there's hope for you in your situation, there's hope for you no matter what, if God can take me from where I was a broken strung out meth addict, shooting up at 19 years old, weighing 122 pounds. And it introduced me to an encounter with Jesus, a real tangible encounter, and it took me where I am today; to a stable father, husband, servant, entrepreneur that can help do something from my generation. There's absolutely no reason you can't do it for each and every one of us. (5:25)

• It was something that maybe you didn't have growing up, so that's something that we call grace, and there's a reason that that's important today is because you have received grace, Kristina, I have received tremendous grace, we are both products of grace and transformation, and that very idea is why, I felt moved to start finding ways that I could do something to touch a generation. (6:36)

• We're building, or we just built a 41000 litre water tank in an area within Tanzania, and near that school, in the vicinity of the region that has never had fresh water before, now, the fresh water itself is a massive impact, they literally drink water out of three massive holes that are dug in the ground, when it rains, but keep in mind, it's a drought area, so it doesn't always get rained, so water is limited. Water is dirty. So this water thing that we're building, I want the help of some of our supporters and some of the local business community is a life-changing thing. (16:17)

• You know what, not everybody is called to go to Tanzania and build a water source, but not everybody is called to go down to South America and do a bunch of work down there, but you know what we've got? We've got a humanitarian mission field every day when we walk out the front door, and if we can just be intentional about encouraging somebody, lifting somebody up, finding a need and filling it. And I know that sounds so cliche, but it's really true. Gotta look beyond ourselves, and sometimes in our greatest trials, in our moments of grief and struggle financially or with COVID or whatever it might be, I think that sometimes the key is stopped fighting for yourself and release that and begin to fight for somebody else.  (22:17)

You know what I do? I struggle with it because it's obviously quite confronting, so you have to find a way to communicate with people that suits them, that they'll hear it. (3:08)

•  What's a big goal? Whether that's health, business or other things, and then map it out and don't even worry about it. Like your goal is there, if you follow this plan, you will get that all you need to do is check off these boxes every day, every week, every month, and that will be yours in the time that we allocated.    (5:37)

• Start to become very self-aware, and know the layer of that is a lot of people don't trust themselves to know what's good for them, for themselves. So it teaches you self-trust and you start to make decisions and say what you follow through on and what you've done it, and you can start to listen to yourself a little bit better, so it actually works on many layers.  (10:53)

•  So I think that this is an accumulation of my mindset strategies from, I played basketball for a really long time, so knowing how to last the longevity of a game, or what happens when you're down, and what happens when you're out? How do you protect your lead? How do you gain momentum? How do you get to where you need to be by the end of the third quarter?   (14:35)

• So my job is to come in and go, Well, let's just strategize, how can we make that model? What if we strategize that so you could sit on the couch and be with you girls and not think, I've got a 100 things to do. It doesn't sound sexy, what I do isn't sexy, and it's not hard to understand. But it's challenging and confronting.  (19:44)

Ready? Listen in... no full 66 a273ed6a-db1c-488e-972d-f223d8aca9b6 65-Network Marketing: How to Know if it's Right for You •  You are going to people with a solution, and I am really big about being a product of the product, I'm not going to go out and sell something to somebody and not know about it, I'm no going to sell something to somebody just to put some money in my pocket,  and I'm not  going to be a product of the product. I am going to share my story with someone, I'm going to share what this did for me. And in hopes of being able to solve an issue for that person, I'm hoping that this can do for them what it did for me, and that goes for the product and for the opportunity. (4:45)

•  So these are the things I want you to ask yourself, did they look down on that person who they bought that Tupper Wear, Or that Pampered Chef item from... So what makes you think that they're going to look down on you? You're just trying to make something better. You are doing what it takes in order to better your financial position, you should be applauded. And someone who is not applauding you should be ignored, you should not put any merit to what they are saying.  (9:12)

•  No, not even talking about the financial aspect of it. I'm talking that I am friends with some of the best people on the planet, and I am blessed with their friendships. People all over the planet. I've got friends in England, I've got friends, one of my good friends is in Australia. I mean, people are all over the place, but most of all, it can give you freedom, it can give you so many different types of freedom, it can give you the time freedom... That is the biggest thing for me. Time freedom, where I am able to spend time with my kids. (16:19)

•  My concentration was on my kids in my business, books, you're going to be wanting to read or listen to books... Whatever works for you. Whether you like the audible books, oh my gosh, there's so many of them. There are so many of them, you're going to want to be reaching out to people, you're going to be wanting to grow your network of contacts, you're going to be wanting to meet new people all the time. You've gotta be growing your network at all times, you're gonna probably be putting in more hours than what you expect. Because there are a lot of people who get into network marketing and they think that it's just going to happen, they think that they can be home with the babies and not have to do anything. You've got to put in the work.   (18:56)

•   There are going to be some obstacles you're ging to have to overcome, you're going to have to figure out the urgency with this, what is your why? How fast do you want to get your goals?  What are your goals? Keep them in mind, keep them in the forefront of your mind all the time. And most of all, you're going to have to be coachable and you're going to have to learn a lot... I know, I did. I remember when I first started this, I thought I knew because I had been in other companies before, when I started with this one, I thought I knew everything, Oh my... was I wrong. So that really makes me laugh thinking about that, I'm like, Wow, yeah, I have come a long way in my knowledge, so it's going to take a lot, it's going to take dedication, but you absolutely deserve it.  (20:39)

I mean, people are all over the place, but most of all, it can give you freedom, it can give you so many different types of freedom, it can give you the time freedom... That is the biggest thing for me. Time freedom, where I am able to spend time with my kids. (16:19)

•  My concentration was on my kids in my business, books, you're going to be wanting to read or listen to books... Whatever works for you. Whether you like the audible books, oh my gosh, there's so many of them. There are so many of them, you're going to want to be reaching out to people, you're going to be wanting to grow your network of contacts, you're going to be wanting to meet new people all the time. You've gotta be growing your network at all times, you're gonna probably be putting in more hours than what you expect. Because there are a lot of people who get into network marketing and they think that it's just going to happen, they think that they can be home with the babies and not have to do anything. You've got to put in the work.   (18:56)

•   There are going to be some obstacles you're ging to have to overcome, you're going to have to figure out the urgency with this, what is your why? How fast do you want to get your goals?  What are your goals? Keep them in mind, keep them in the forefront of your mind all the time. And most of all, you're going to have to be coachable and you're going to have to learn a lot... I know, I did. I remember when I first started this, I thought I knew because I had been in other companies before, when I started with this one, I thought I knew everything, Oh my... was I wrong. So that really makes me laugh thinking about that, I'm like, Wow, yeah, I have come a long way in my knowledge, so it's going to take a lot, it's going to take dedication, but you absolutely deserve it.  (20:39)

]]> 65-Network Marketing: How to Know if it's Right for You Kristina Sjolund 00:23:06 Network Marketers, this one is for you. I typically don't talk a whole lot about network marketing, at least not for a full podcast, I do talk about network marketing because it is another business. I don't care what anybody thinks about it. It's business, it's an income, and I wanted to talk today about some of the things that hold people back, maybe it holds people back from joining a network marketing company, maybe it holds people back in growing that business. But regardless, we're going to talk about why people, in network marketing, don't make it. And also some of those reasons of why people don't join. If you join network marketing and you think that it is a get-rich quick type of thing, you are going to find out really quick that that's not how it is, it is not that way. And there are people who are afraid to join a network marketing company because maybe they're afraid of what others might think, and I'm here to tell you that, first of all, don't let something like that hold you back from doing it because if I had done that, if I had walked away, I would not be in the position that I am in today. Network marketing, direct sales, whatever you want to call it, is something that completely changed my world. Learn more. Listen in... Network Marketers, this one is for you. I typically don't talk a whole lot about network marketing, at least not for a full podcast, I do talk about network marketing because it is another business.

Listen in... no full 65 95b481db-2ca2-4848-bee6-a208f6960785 64-The Power of POSITIVE SELF THOUGHT! •    Alright, so we're going to talk about I Am statements today. Because I Am statements are uplifting for you, they just make you feel good. They might seem silly at first, if you're looking in the mirror and you're saying, I am beautiful, or I am perfectly made. I have beautiful eyes. My hair looks fantastic. I love my stretch marks. We earned them, right? If you're a mom, those are tiger stripes, your stretch marks are tiger stripes, these are ways that you've got to turn things around. I am powerful. (3:26)

•    Whatever it is, that repetition starts to make you feel good. There's the emotion at first, it's uncomfortable, but then it makes you feel good, that positive feeling. So be mindful of those thoughts and those ideas that you're planting in your mind because those seeds that you're putting in there, if you give them enough cultivating, if you give them enough to grow on, they're going to start sprouting. (5:40)

•    Because once you start thinking positive about it, you're going to feel accepted by you. And you're really the most important to be accepted by. Who cares if somebody else doesn't accept you, you have all the power within you, and you're the most important, you're also in charge of how you feel every single day. You're the one who has all the power over controlling how you feel, and if you feel good about yourself, nothing else is going to matter if you feel empowered, if you feel impactful. (6:59)

•    So write it out, it's going to make more of an impact. And then if you want to make it your background on your phone or your screen saver or whatever, do that, so that it's always there. And, if you don't know what to write here, in fact, I'm going to read some examples for you. So, if you write it out, you're making that physical activity and it's making that impression in your mind. (8:57)

•    So I want you, each and every day, write down at least six I Am statements. I want you to write those down, I want you to repeat them each day out loud, don't just write them, and then that's it. You need to be talking to yourself when you're driving. If you're driving to work or driving to pick up your kids, if you're in the pick-up line at school, wherever you're at, I want you to be saying these things to yourself and don't be embarrassed about it.

Let's get started... no full 64 e4bbe42a-2c0f-4dec-8062-5f4e6d0ae0b5 63-Neuro Feedback with Becky and Kelsey Bingham What is Neurofeedback?

Research has emerged showing that the brain is not fixed but is instead very plastic and adaptable. After serious injury, people are able to relearn how to walk, talk, and reason. Brain scans show that neighboring regions of the injured brain have assumed new roles formerly performed by the injured regions. Neuroscientific research has proven that the brain can change.

Many neurological disorders of the brain are indicative of brain dysregulation, and similar research into Neurofeedback has shown that brain activity can be modified to alleviate symptoms of these and other disorders in a safe, accessible, and cost effective way.

Neurofeedback is a proven, non-invasive, non-medicated and permanent solution for ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, and more. Neurofeedback works to dramatically reduce the symptoms of these disorders, leading to more consistent, focused, and successful work, school, and social performance. Working with their physicians, many of my clients have dramatically reduced and even stopped taking medications.

 

SHOWNOTES:

•  I'm a registered nurse with a Master's degree in psychology, and so to me, I was like, Well yeah, we go to the medication, let's go do the stimulants, and we did that. It took three, maybe four different medications because each one of them made him so sick, we finally found one and it did the job, he could focus, he was able to function in school, and then we went to the yearly physical and found out that he'd stopped growing, so one of the side effects of stimulants can be a decreased appetite, and in his case, it severely impacted his ability to grow normally. (4:32)

•  I'm not at all anti-medication, but I just felt like I was empowering people to go and accomplish what their life dreams were, it's like if I can help them get their brain working well, then they can do the hard work and accomplish what they want, so that kind of jumped me into it. (6:21)

•  Neurofeedback, at its core is a learning process, so it is based on operant conditioning, which is the idea that if you reward behavior, then that behavior is likely to continue. And so the neuro-feedback we are able to track brain waves in real time, and we are able to essentially give your brain a cookie every time it's doing something that we want it to do. We have different parameters based on what we see in a brain map, which I'll talk about in a second, but we are able to reward your brain when it is doing what we want it to do.  (12:49)

•   I just feel for people, I just feel for them because this has been an overwhelmingly stressful event and it's been essentially a chronic event that has gone on a year. And all changes all the time, there's no consistency, it's that lack of control and appropriate concern on all different levels, whether it's your own health, whether it's your job, this is a profound experience, and certainly people are having different levels of that experience. (17:24)

•  We see a lot of kids who, with the pandemic, we're seeing a lot of behavior issues that are cropping back up. Some of the behaviors were done and gone, then they had improved with training, and now there's a little bit of a regression because of all the stress, but in general, we do tend to see a lot of improvement with kids with our feedback training at a base level. Whatever they're coming in with, usually ADHD or a learning disability of some kind, often they respond better to neuro feedback.  (23:07)

Let's go... no full 63 08cd31ec-6419-4cfe-b907-30b26c4cee02 62-Unleashed Leadership Part 3 Level 3 •  When I say level, I mean ranks, because most of you already know that I am in network marketing, and my team is very, very large, and some of them I don't even get to know, which is depressing for me because I love being able to build those relationships, I love being able to work with those people. So, that's the way I think that level three is so fun, and it's really the most, I guess the most gratifying, if you will, because of those relationships, because of the excitement, because of the momentum, and when you see people growing. And oh my gosh, it really is the best when you see people coming out of their shells and coming into their potential. (3:55)

•    If you truly want to go to the higher levels of leadership, you're going to have to learn those skills there, and really, to be frank, you simply have to produce. There's no other way around it. You have to learn these skills, so now you've got credibility, you're in a position now that you've actually set a standard for others on your team, and you bring clarity, you've gotta bring clarity and a reality to the vision of your organization. You have to have a vision for it, you gotta tell them clearly what the goal is of your team as a whole. (8:58)

•   Put the time and effort into the momentum makers because they can make a huge impact on your organization. Now, these are the momentum makers remember? Okay, so get them out in front. Let them be heard. And this is going to piss some people off because, the people say it all the time, Oh, will you give attention to those people? We have to hear those people. Yeah, because these people have created success at various levels, and we want to make sure that everybody sees different levels of success, and that lets other people know what their potential can be.  (15:41)

•   So even though the achievement becomes easier, the leadership itself does not become easier, right? Now, this is something that is really important to remember, because productivity can make you think that you're a great leader, when really you might not be. All great leaders are productive, however, your personal success... What I mean by personal success, your own success is your own achievements don't always translate to team success, so what do you do for others? That is what the leadership is about.  (19:59)

•   And remember this, it also includes you, you are part of that team, you are the leader of that team, so know where you fit, know where your strengths, your abilities, your gifts, find out where they can contribute to all of the others. But also learn from the others and where they can contribute as well, because they're going to be able to, when they're building that camaraderie with themselves are going to be able to build that familiarity, they're going to be able to build that team atmosphere and those friendships.

This is our part three of our leadership series, unleashing your leadership. So the last few weeks, we have been talking about the different levels of leadership. And there are five levels of leadership, they go in this order, positional leadership, which is the very entry level of leadership, level two is permissional leadership. that's where you're building relationships, and people follow you because they want to.

Let's dive into level 3... no full 62 79f1c18f-3464-473b-ba15-1c26b8157744 61-Unleashed Leadership SPECIAL EDITION!!! Part 2 • It's a level of leadership based on results, people follow you because of what you've done for the organization, whether you're in a brick and mortar. You've had results. And people are impressed by that. People like that, and they want to be part of it. The level four is people development. People follow you because of what you've done for them, and they feel valued. (3:01)

•  We talk about growth on here all the time, bettering yourself, and those greater skills are going to be required, some risks, you're going to take risks because that's what leadership's about. Everybody takes risks, and some risks you're going to win, and some you're going to fail. But that can't allow you to give up, and I don't care what level you're at. I don't even care if you're not in leadership, you can't give up when you fail. Every single skill, every single risk is going to help you grow. (6:27)

•  The problem isn't that they don't have the ability to... It's a choice, and it's an attitude that can be changed though. I mean that can be changed, you have to want to grow, you just have to choose to grow, so if they make the choice to improve and grow, then they're not going to have any limits. So it comes down to this, choices matter. Don't think that you have to be stuck there forever, because you don't have to. You just have to make the choice to want to grow and change your attitude about it, I feel like, and also your mindset, because if you feel like you don't have it in you to move further, you have to work on that, you have to choose to work on that. (9:42)

•  Now, keep in mind that if you think that you're leading, but you don't have any followers, you're just taking a stroll, Okay? I want you to think about that, because if you think that you're doing a great job at leading, but you don't have anybody leading, who's there to lead, nobody. So, you've got to start connecting with people and you've gotta dedicate yourself to continuing your own development, so that you gain followers and then dedicate yourself to growing them as well, that's so important, because that's the part where people start to feel valued, that's the part where the relationships start to grow and flourish, and there's trust being built. (13:42)

•  I want to talk about one of the most important things to focus on and level two; it's to become aware of the uniqueness of people and learn to appreciate their differences. We talked about each person has a different personality, they have different communication languages, they've got... Maybe somebody doesn't like all the attention, but then there's somebody else who needs that constant validation, learn their different ways, that uniqueness of their languages, the uniqueness of their personality, the uniqueness of their needs. So some people... And this might sound silly to you, but I can guarantee that it's not silly to somebody else, because there are people who don't know how they can make these people at this level feel valued, there's questions that you can ask yourself as far as your followers go, what three non-business things do you know about this person?

]]> Wed, 24 Feb 2021 14:00:00 +0000 thrive206@icloud.com (Kristina Sjolund) https://unleashed-podcast.simplecast.com/episodes/61-unleashed-leadership-special-edition-part-2-Gpiqik4q • It's a level of leadership based on results, people follow you because of what you've done for the organization, whether you're in a brick and mortar. You've had results. And people are impressed by that. People like that, and they want to be part of it. The level four is people development. People follow you because of what you've done for them, and they feel valued. (3:01)

•  We talk about growth on here all the time, bettering yourself, and those greater skills are going to be required, some risks, you're going to take risks because that's what leadership's about. Everybody takes risks, and some risks you're going to win, and some you're going to fail. But that can't allow you to give up, and I don't care what level you're at. I don't even care if you're not in leadership, you can't give up when you fail. Every single skill, every single risk is going to help you grow. (6:27)

•  The problem isn't that they don't have the ability to... It's a choice, and it's an attitude that can be changed though. I mean that can be changed, you have to want to grow, you just have to choose to grow, so if they make the choice to improve and grow, then they're not going to have any limits. So it comes down to this, choices matter. Don't think that you have to be stuck there forever, because you don't have to. You just have to make the choice to want to grow and change your attitude about it, I feel like, and also your mindset, because if you feel like you don't have it in you to move further, you have to work on that, you have to choose to work on that. (9:42)

•  Now, keep in mind that if you think that you're leading, but you don't have any followers, you're just taking a stroll, Okay? I want you to think about that, because if you think that you're doing a great job at leading, but you don't have anybody leading, who's there to lead, nobody. So, you've got to start connecting with people and you've gotta dedicate yourself to continuing your own development, so that you gain followers and then dedicate yourself to growing them as well, that's so important, because that's the part where people start to feel valued, that's the part where the relationships start to grow and flourish, and there's trust being built. (13:42)

•  I want to talk about one of the most important things to focus on and level two; it's to become aware of the uniqueness of people and learn to appreciate their differences. We talked about each person has a different personality, they have different communication languages, they've got... Maybe somebody doesn't like all the attention, but then there's somebody else who needs that constant validation, learn their different ways, that uniqueness of their languages, the uniqueness of their personality, the uniqueness of their needs. So some people... And this might sound silly to you, but I can guarantee that it's not silly to somebody else, because there are people who don't know how they can make these people at this level feel valued, there's questions that you can ask yourself as far as your followers go, what three non-business things do you know about this person?

• If you don't step out of that position and into the next level, and that's what I want to bring to you today, okay, so like I said, if your vision of success, if you're starting an organization or you are going to, or you already own a company, or maybe you're a network marketing, or you're putting a team together, you've gotta become a leader, you've got to get good at leadership. And if you can't lead well, you're not going to be successful, if you don't lead in a way that is inviting or inspiring to others. (4:22)

• If you own a company and you hire some employees, you have become a leader, and you are in that position of leadership, but however you got there, it doesn't mean that you have to stay there in that positional leadership. Right, but it's the only level that doesn't require the ability or the effort to achieve because anybody can be appointed to that position. (7:27)

• You are in network marketing, but they follow you because of what you've done, they see your results, productivity and momentum happen at that point, some people stop at level too, but if you're a person who... You're about action. You're driven by results. Level three just happens, okay, so you get things done, you make things happen, and that all fires up the people who are in your organization, and you gain influence, you gain credibility, and so much positivity flows at that level because of that growth, because of all that positive momentum. (10:26)

• Level five leaders build level four leaders, they build those level four leaders who are creating more leaders within the team, and you talk about a layered leadership... That is exactly what this is. It is layered leadership. (17:35)

Today I've decided that I'm going to do a three-part series on leadership, because I feel like whether it be in a brick and mortar store in corporate America where maybe you're in management and looking to move up, or you're in network marketing or an online business where you are building an organization or a team, one thing that we lack, you can find courses, books, you name it, you can find any kind of training on sales, how to sell anything, but there's not a whole lot on leadership. I found over the last few years, I have struggled with what to do, how do I lead? How do I lead a group of people? Because my organization had been built to a degree that I never expected, so I needed to step up and be a leader, so I couldn't find any courses or training that really clicked with me as far as leadership went and since this comes up over and over, and I always want to help people grow, and if something has helped me grow into my leadership...

•  Last week we had talked about self-awareness and listening to people who can give you constructive criticism, this is another part I wanted to touch on this again, and I won't go all into it, because we did just talk about this, but you do have to listen to anyone and everyone who can give you constructive criticism and advice, but here's the thing, do you respect that person? Do you look up to that person who's giving that to you, who's giving you that constructive criticism? Those are the people who you want to keep. (4:52)

•  It's okay to feel that fear, but don't show it, I don't show it, because then it's going to give it power. you don't want it to have power over you, so when you're the most scared, that is when you need to move the fastest, seriously, kind of like that whole kick in the gut thing, that's what you need to work on most. (7:24)

•  I'm a huge communicator. You cannot get past any sort of conflict or conflict management or anything, you can't have a properly functioning relationship with anyone without communication, and we talk about balance and the importance of balance, but it's almost impossible to find balance. You just really have to make the time and spend the time in all the places, it's time management. (11:07)

•  There's going to be people who are celebrating you, but there's a lot of those haters out there, they don't like to see somebody that's from their place, their town, their neighborhood, their family... Everybody's got that same... They're from the same place. When you find that success that they didn't work for, they didn't even look for, they don't like that. Don't let those people hold you back from what you want. (17:22)

•   It requires that understanding of what you are good at and what you suck at, and once you embrace that, you've gotta go in on all of your strengths, go all in. Okay, let you go on in on that because you're going to take that, you can grow with it, you can grow other people, you can bring that strength to others and help them grow. (2:21)

•   So when you accept the shortcomings, that is when you're going to start to excel, you're going to accept those shortcomings, you're going to be like, Okay, I'm not going to waste my time trying to master that, I'm going to take what I'm good at and I'm going to run with it. (4:37)

•   That's what I learned, is that I had to learn how to be honest and in a constructive way to help other people grow. But in doing that, I also was able to create a safe space for others to be able to come to me, and I could be honest, and they could tell me in a way that was constructive to me. (7:27)

•    Master your craft, okay? So, once you figure out self-awareness, I'm telling you, you're going to be unstoppable, once you figure it out, your strengths and you embrace the fact that you've got shortcomings, you will not be able to be stopped. You take that, you unleash that and you grow. (10:45)

SHOW NOTES:

•    One of my favorite things that Wayne Dyer says, we talked about this a little while ago, is that in rejecting something you know nothing about is like the ultimate form of ignorance. And so any time I hear a strategy, or I hear something that could educate me more on something that I know nothing about, then I'm very open to it. (5:26)

•     And then I started researching that, I learned about the infinite banking concept, which is what we're gonna talk about today, and how you could have safe money strategies that have paid dividends for 10, 60 years, even through the Great Depression. (8:03)

•    There's many ways that it works and many benefits, so when you think about life insurance, you think about, Oh, it's only going to benefit you when you die. And with the types of policies that I believe in, you have living benefits and you have access to that money, so this high cash value, early early high cash value dividend policy is... It's a wealth-building strategy. (12:02)

•    So the key factor is the uninterrupted compounding interest, and that is how you build wealth, that's how you build legacy wealth, and how you can teach your kids how to not get trapped in the world of going out and borrowing money and paying cash for things and all of that. You can teach your children how to take control of their finances and to have that financial freedom, true financial freedom. (20:33)

•    And I'm not here to convince someone that it's the best thing for them because it may not be for them. They may not want to use it like I do, they may want to have more risk, I don't want any risk because I have made a lot of mistakes. I used to work for a financial company years ago, and a lot of people's money was tied in the stock market, and people will come in and write 100,000 checks, and then the next week it would only be 20,000 and it just made me sick to my stomach.

And here's another thing, what if you're in the business, or maybe you're just interested in helping other people change their lives, would you tell them to adjust their goals? Would you tell them to tamper down their goals because of the people around them? No, you're going to tell them to adjust the people that they surround themselves with, right? Because those people can limit them, their energy and attitude is contagious. (6:24)

•  There are 10 things and I want to go over these. We'll kind of break each one down a little bit, but most is going to be pretty self-explanatory. But there's oftentimes that we need reminders, I do, and that's why my personal, my self-growth, I have to remind myself of things all the time. So number one is self-confidence, okay? You have to have a level of self-confidence. And because there are going to be people who are around you that are going to try to bring you down, you have to be strong. (9:30)

•   That is business. You have to have that commitment, okay? Your business is your baby. Love it. Grow it. Nurture it. Alright, sounds corny, but it's true. Last, but definitely not least, you need to view uncertainty as an opportunity, the year of Covid 2020, that was a year of opportunity in so many different ways,. You talk about businesses, there were a lot of businesses, brick and mortar businesses that went out of business, there were a lot of them that actually grow because they pivoted... They were ready for it. (20:01)

]]> 56-Stop Adjusting Your Dreams to Fit Others Kristina Sjolund 00:22:58 Hello and welcome back to the Unleashed Podcast, I am your host, Kristina Sjolund. I know that we've talked about it before, but these things come up often, and there's a lot of times where we will have to remind ourselves of things that we need to fight off. There are little challenges that we come up on, and it doesn't matter how long you've been in business, how long you've been living your life, it doesn't matter what area of life we come across, sometimes we forget how to meet them head-on because maybe we've got a whole bunch of other things that are going on and it may be slips our mind. But there's something that comes up, it's adjusting your dreams and your goals and your ambitions, adjusting them down to make other people feel comfortable. Let's dive into this, ready?

But there's something that comes up, it's adjusting your dreams and your goals and your ambitions, adjusting them down to make other people feel comfortable. Let's dive into this, ready? no full 56 b133ffa1-df5e-4c8f-a07f-7948d42ace78 55-Is It REALLY Worth It? SHOW NOTES:

•  So these are different things that need to be done on a regular basis, but it's the consistency that is so important to reaching those in-between goals in order to reach the big goals. And if you've got different streams of income, maybe you got a network marketing business, maybe you've got a podcast, maybe you've got a course, maybe you've got a brick and mortar. If you have more than one of those things, then you've gotta have a goal for each one of those particular streams of income, and then break them down, you gotta break those down into those smaller goals and activities. (3:26)

•  One of my goals this year is to encourage leadership, so I told you that I'm starting some courses, but overall, I really want to focus on leadership now in small business, in the small business world. There's not, in my opinion, there's not enough focus on leadership. Oh, I start treading into this area because I get hate mail, but we're taught as children, we memorize things, we're not necessarily taught leadership, leadership is more of an elective. (5:06)

•   I want them to feel, when they are done talking to me, I want them to feel better, more valuable. I want them to feel amazing, and I want them to feel like they can bring that to somebody else and be able to bless somebody else's life the way that I just did theirs. Another thing that I have to ask myself every day, What am I doing to be my best?  (8:55)

•  I'm telling you it's priceless. While it costs money, but what you get from it, you can't put a dollar amount on because it continue, it's an investment. And the interest, if you will, that grows on that investment, I've made way more money than what I have invested because of what I invested. Does that make sense? So success, It's not exactly easy. It takes hard work. We talk about it, It takes hard work. It takes courage. I mean, you're talking... your time, consistency. You're going to have frustrations. But you've gotta be dedicated.

I am your host, Kristina Sjolund, and I appreciate you taking the time out to listen to in today. On last week's podcast, I had some questions about goals, we talk about goals on this podcast all the time. I am very goal-driven, I'm very results-driven, My goals don't necessarily change every day, but I add to them, and I do have daily goals that I work for. What I really want to cover today are the questions that had come in last week about making your goals measurable. It's a result. Maybe you're looking at a particular dollar amount that you want as an income this year, let's talk about creating that result. Are you ready? Hello and welcome back to The Unleashed Podcast.

• So maybe you have all sorts of ideas, maybe you just have one or two, but they’re huge and maybe they’re really scary. So, we’re going to break them down, so they’re not so scary, okay? Because they don’t have to be scary. I know that it can be, because even with I bought my boyfriend a workout system to put in the garage, and I picked up the instructions, I’m like, Oh my gosh, there’s so many things to do, but when you break it down and do it bit by bit, and you map it all out, it’s not so scary now. (2:58)

• Timeframes are important. Now, if you don’t reach your goal by the time frame that you give yourself, do you give up? No, you just adjust your time frame, you just adjust that deadline, and adjusting the deadline doesn’t mean it’s a failure, it just means it’s an adjustment, okay? So, don’t feel defeated when you don’t reach those deadlines, but work your ass off in order to hit those deadlines. (5:42)

• You can think of so many different people who will benefit from whatever you have, it’s not just you. That’s what I was thinking earlier today, I was like, Oh my gosh, how many people would this help out? So the list, you can be unstoppable, I’m telling you right now. As I was writing this, writing the notes out for this podcast today, I was all excited because I’m like, Oh my God, this is so much fun to be able to map things out and help. You can tell, this is my jam, this gets me all excited. (9:28)

• Let’s just say that right now, it’s going to cost money. When we talk about the food truck, it’ll cost money, right? But we’re also going to turn a profit with the ideas that we come up with along the way. You’re going to sacrifice going out with friends. There will be a lot of times where there are people who are going to be upset. Maybe you won’t go out with them because you’ve got things to do that involve achieving your goals, maybe you miss out on some parties or some dates. Do you know that saying, live like nobody else does now, so that you can live like nobody else can later? (11:02)

• So first, we talked about social media in the five different ways on social media. Now we talk about referrals, referrals are going to come from business connections, in group trainings, like I’m part of, my gosh, how many groups am I a part of? I have no clue. But I can do in-group trainings, and in those, I can be a guest in some of those and create more connections through that. Again, podcast interviews, I can get referrals through those online shares, if somebody shares the post, somebody shares the marketing for it. And also sponsors or speaking engagements, so sometimes I can get sponsors on my podcast or speaking engagements on stages. (18:50)

SHOWNOTES:

• In order to help other people grow. In order to help us grow, but then that also feeds into helping other people grow. These talents are given to us to make an impact and make the world better, that's how I live, that's how I always want to make an impact. And I think of my words, like sometimes you hear me on the podcast and my words, because of the fact that I don't read a script, my words are always in my head, and I want to craft my words in a way that are going to make an impact on you. So, I guess this is my time where I'm going to say my apology for stumbling over my words a lot, but at least you know, it's from the heart. But anyway, we're all happiest when we're progressing, and when we're progressing, when we're making that impact, that helps us in growing because we're also growing other people. (3:26)

•  Make it your goal to bring value to other people with your gift, leave people better than what they came with, leave them with wanting more, leave them with wanting more of you and more for themselves. If you do that, you've made a deposit in someone's life, they're one step closer to using their gift to impact the lives of other people, and that's what I think most people who listen to this podcast, that's what their goal is to impact the lives of others, right? It's sort of a ripple effect. (07:05)

•   This podcast, my voice, has been heard by thousands of people. Did I ever think that would ever happened? My goal was to reach people, of course, but not only that, it's reached across the globe. It's been heard in Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Ireland, Germany, Bosnia, India. When I started looking through this list of countries, I thought, Do I even know people there?  Australia. I do, one of my good friends is there, but I'm like, How did it reach there, it's because somebody found value and shared it... I made a deposit and that deposit grew into reaching more people. So to look at that and realize that reach, it makes me excited to do even more. (8:19)

• It's just going to come down to that. You're going to unleash your abundance. You're going to unleash greatness You're going to unleash your brave. You're going to unleash all the things that you've got inside of you that are just screaming to get out, so that you can live your best life and your family can live their best lives, and the lives that you deserve.

SHOW NOTES:

•  If you sit on the sidelines or you don't even get out of the locker room, what makes you think that you're going to win? You have to get in the game. You've got to play the game. It's life. So turn that around. That wins. It's going to build your strength. And it's gonna build your strength past what you ever thought that it could ever be. (04:56)

•  I don't care what challenge it is in your life. If it involves another person, why hold onto the grudge? Why would you hold on and give that person your power when you can turn that around into fuel for you to be a better person, to be more than what they thought you could be and more than what you thought you could be. (06:24)

•  I was challenged to come out of this cocoon that I had been in. I was given the opportunity to do something more than what I was, being as a stay at home mom or as a housewife. I had something to share. I had a message I had things to accomplish. And you know what else? I had people that I didn't know at the time, but I had people that I was going to help get their wins. (06:54)

•  I've been in some mastermind groups with people whose success would make your head spin, and the best part, not one of those people considers themselves a victim. None of them. They have had terrible things happen in their lives. It's when we're all getting to know each other and we're sharing our stories. What created you? (10:39)

•  One of my mentors had said it to me, and I didn't get it at first, it took me a few minutes. But who loses if you don't win? Your win can affect so many people because here's what I want you to think about. My win has probably touched you because if it didn't, you wouldn't still be listening to this podcast right now.

If you sit there and accept that crap, that's all you're going to have. So why would you want to settle for that? Especially when you're made for so much better. You deserve so much more. So take your challenge and that's exactly what it is, it's a challenge. Take it and turn it into a win.

SHOW NOTES:

•  If you sit on the sidelines or you don't even get out of the locker room, what makes you think that you're going to win? You have to get in the game. You've got to play the game. It's life. So turn that around. That wins. It's going to build your strength. And it's gonna build your strength past what you ever thought that it could ever be. (04:56)

•  I don't care what challenge it is in your life. If it involves another person, why hold onto the grudge? Why would you hold on and give that person your power when you can turn that around into fuel for you to be a better person, to be more than what they thought you could be and more than what you thought you could be. (06:24)

•  I was challenged to come out of this cocoon that I had been in. I was given the opportunity to do something more than what I was, being as a stay at home mom or as a housewife. I had something to share. I had a message I had things to accomplish. And you know what else? I had people that I didn't know at the time, but I had people that I was going to help get their wins. (06:54)

•  I've been in some mastermind groups with people whose success would make your head spin, and the best part, not one of those people considers themselves a victim. None of them. They have had terrible things happen in their lives. It's when we're all getting to know each other and we're sharing our stories. What created you? (10:39)

•  One of my mentors had said it to me, and I didn't get it at first, it took me a few minutes. But who loses if you don't win? Your win can affect so many people because here's what I want you to think about. My win has probably touched you because if it didn't, you wouldn't still be listening to this podcast right now.

]]> 52-Encore Presentation of Stop Whining and Start Winning Kristina Sjolund 00:15:56 Welcome back to the Unleashed Podcast. I'm your host, Kristina Sjolund. I want to thank you for being here today and tuning in. I am so blessed to have you as part of my audience today. To finish off season one, I am sharing with you an encore presentation of Stop Whining and Start Winning . So what makes us, what builds our character? What causes us to grow? Well, you know what kind of things make us better people? What makes us want more? What creates the kind of person that we are? Challenges. Things that happen in our lives, things that happen to us. We learn how to deal with these things. We learn how to get past these things. This is what makes us grow. How many times did you come across struggles growing up, whether it be through your elementary years or your teenage years? What kind of crap got handed to you and what did you do with it? Did you sit there, lay down and take the loss and wallow in your sorrows? Most likely, if you're listening to this podcast, the answer is going to be no. You didn't sit there and let the crap happen and just not take it as a growing opportunity, not take it as some way to move forward in your life. Welcome back to the Unleashed Podcast.

I know that a lot of us that have experienced those doubts, but you gotta get rid of them. Do you settle for maybe just a couple hundred dollars a month, but you really want, in your heart, you really want a few thousand dollars a month? The couple of hundred dollars a month, hey, that works. But most people are going to want a little bit more, they're not going to turn it down. When I started my side gig, my goal was about 500 bucks a month, maybe 1000, that was my first goal, but what I needed was much more than that.

SHOWNOTES:

•    Too many people are afraid of being successful, they're more afraid of being successful than they are a failure, it's really easy for us to accept failure, it's what we're conditioned for, we're conditioned for mediocrity. We're conditioned for failure, we're conditioned for just enough and just getting by. We're conditioned for paycheck to paycheck, we are conditioned for mediocrity, it's the whole try factor, you either do it or you don't. There really should be no try, either do it or you don't. (2:43)

•  If you listened to the podcast with Danelle Delgado a few weeks ago, her motto is, who loses if you don't win? If my friend Sheila wasn't determined to win, I'd still be losing right now, I might be winning a few things here and there, but I wouldn't be in the place that I'm in now. Who loses? If you don't win whose life can change because of your message, your product, your solution? I think that you're way more valuable than what you know, that determination is a strength, you've got to own it, find that determination, make sure you are determined to win. (06:30)

•   You've got something that somebody needs. You bring value to somebody. It's a network of people or maybe it's, for myself, each week I'm on this podcast, I'm just like, okay, just one person. If I could reach one person and flip a switch for them, give them an aha moment, give them whatever they need, whatever it takes to get over a hurdle, to get past an obstacle, to just conquer a challenge is in front of them. Just one person. I'm good. But I know that there's more. I know that there's more people that need to hear you. They need your message, they need your solution. (9:32)

•   You might not be fully aware of your value to other people, and that's okay, that's perfectly okay. But who's missing out by not hearing your message or not knowing of your product, of not knowing what your solution is to the issue or problem that they have? It goes back to who loses if you don't win? (11:20)

Today I want you to say, Enough, I've had it. I'm done with this and now I'm ready to move forward. I'm ready for my ascension, I deserve better. We have to make the changes in order to create that better life we desire.

SHOWNOTES:

•   We were just driving today and my daughter was like, Man, look at the sky, it looks like God painted it, it's beautiful. Live in gratitude for everything, you need to be thankful for on your journey, the entire journey. I know that there were times back when I was in the struggles of my finances, you know, you don't feel thankful for it, you don't feel grateful for any of the mess that you're in, but it's part of the journey, it's part of you making those changes to say, Okay, I'm done with this. (4:40)

• I didn't like the way that I was feeling because it made me feel like I sounded like a victim, and I don't like that mentality. So, I took that and I made a lesson out of it. So, I want you to make a lesson out of it as well, I want you to make sure that you say, I'm done with this, I'm not going to be a victim anymore, I'm going to go forward, I'm going to grasp my ascension. And we're gonna go. (07:25)

•   I need to bring that message to people, because when you get into that mode of poor me, or you  grasp the negative, when you find or you start to go into your downward spiral, because I know that a lot of people do this because I used to. I used to and I hated it. You know, you stub your toe or you drop your papers or whatever it is that goes wrong, your day doesn't have to continue going wrong, so don't allow the things that all of the things that around you happening, don't let those bring you down and control your mindset. (8:46)

• Make sure that you embrace those obstacles because those are going to make you stronger. But you know what else comes along with all of that? There's more things to expect, you're going to expect laughter, fun memories, friendships. Just in the past year and a half of working with my Mastermind group, some of the people in there, every single one of them, they are amazing people. But the friendships that have been made and the caliber of people, that is what I mean. Nothing can beat it. We all push each other, we lift each other up when someone come across one of those challenges. (14:08)

• It's a really interesting story. A lot of people come and ask us, Hey, so were you in the military? Were you in the police? Now, we have an interesting, interesting background as to how we got started in this. So, I grew up around firearms and it was something that I had gone out with my dad with and my grandpa, and when Becky, who's one of our instructors and also my wife, she had grown up on a ranch where the firearm was a tool, it was something that was used regularly. (3:34)

• So, I've got these guys, they don't even like it, because it is scary, because you know what guns can do, you know that the guns don't do it themselves, they don't pull their own trigger, that is the misconceptions. I guess that is the message that I want to hear from you is, what do you think is the first part of getting past that fear so that you can be, so you can have that confidence and that fluent usability with a weapon? I think it comes down to education, which is kind of a broad subject, broad term, but what we've seen, for my own self, my own skills, as I've been introduced to new guns, as I've been teaching these classes, as I've seen all of the women that have come through our classes, really the biggest fundamental is education about how the gun works and what will make it fire, what won't make it fire, how to load and unload safely, and that foundation of the safety rules. (9:56)

• We absolutely love her for the courage that she showed, these experiences here where people are breaking into their homes, they're hiding, they're hiding behind one woman who looks very nice, very well dressed up, that is in front of the peoples camera here, and they've got two other people that are hiding behind the door... Or hiding around the corner or something like that. Waiting for you to open up your door trying to help a well-dressed woman that's on your doorstep. And then once you open up the door, they try to push through and they've got spray paint, they're trying to blind you, or even fire arms, and they're trying to get in. (16:03)

• They always give me a bad time, but they know, they know they always leave that seat available for me that's facing the door, But we went into this one restaurant once about a year or two ago, and I sat with my back to the door. But there was a group of police officers who were sitting, and I was facing the police officers, and the girls said, What's wrong, you're not sitting facing the door? And I'm like, But I'm facing them and if they move, like if something happens, they're going first, so I'm always that thinking forward. (30:50)

• They get started with self-protection, and some of them, like you said earlier, are interested in overcoming their fear. We've had people say that, Hey, I've always wanted to try this, but I've been afraid to do so. My husband has firearms, I've never liked them, but I would never have come here except for someone was robbed or even killed a mile from my home. And so people are facing their fears, like Kelsey said, people are seeing some violence around them, that they are realizing that they are powerless to stop on their own. And they're seeing that in some cases, the emergency services are powerless to stop, and so they're saying, I need to protect myself against the violence. (38:03)

SHOW NOTES:

•   First of all, I want you to share your story with everybody who's listening, because I feel like there's a lot of people who see very successful people, and they think that those people just have always been successful. They've always had money, or they've always been in that top percent, and I want you to share where you came from, where your situation when you decided, I'm not going to stay in this place.(03:27)

•   Because I feel like it's similar to where I grew up, I never really knew anything outside of go to school, get a job, work your way up, do everything you can to impress your family, make them proud of you serve, serve, serve. I was raised in the church, and I just tried to always follow the rules, so I think the turning point for me was when I followed all the rules, and life still tanked that I knew something had to be wrong with the rules. It's kind of like what's going on in the world right now. Everybody's just wondering and following a set of rules that they stood by for so long and they don't realize that sometimes they need to find their own. (05:11)

•   It was everything I knew and believed in, so I was determined to make it work. So, I got involved with network marketing, and I was officially the worst human they'd ever seen, I was so afraid and so broken down, and I sucked at sales. I knew nothing about sales, I was doing phone TV, internet as electricity, I was disconnecting people's phones, I was screwing it up, royally. People are like, we've had this phone over in our family for generations, I'm like, Well, isn't it nice to bring in the new year with new, and they're like, No, it's not. And I was like, I'm really sorry. So I was really, really bad. Even my mentors who were some of the top 10 in the world, I think it was just a gift they were given to me, were like, Honey, you're not great at this, like maybe you should seek other avenues and work on this on the side for the next decade and see if it'll work. (09:20)

•   I really think I build their bravery enough to where they're brave enough, and we can have this conversation, the pin drop. And I'm like, I can build a business around that. So it's really helping someone be confident enough in that inner idea for a moment, and if they give me a moment, I can lay out a plan and a strategy for almost everything. Because my life was like three kids on my own having to do everything school, sports, house, everything, and I had to be so strategic in my every move that I can see someone's strategy from a mile away. They're like, it's the how I've got, it's the what that I need your help with.  (16:17)

•   You've got the ripple effect. But a big one, and I feel like there are... How do I phrase this? So now I watch your Friday night lives and your posts and everybody, and all of the comments, and I think because I know you, and that it's not that I take it for granted, but I know how special you are, and not just me but to me and my girls, and I see all of those people who see you and you're such an inspiration to them, and I know that you inspire them so much and they just want to be in your presence.

SHOW NOTES:

•   First of all, I want you to share your story with everybody who's listening, because I feel like there's a lot of people who see very successful people, and they think that those people just have always been successful. They've always had money, or they've always been in that top percent, and I want you to share where you came from, where your situation when you decided, I'm not going to stay in this place.(03:27)

•   Because I feel like it's similar to where I grew up, I never really knew anything outside of go to school, get a job, work your way up, do everything you can to impress your family, make them proud of you serve, serve, serve. I was raised in the church, and I just tried to always follow the rules, so I think the turning point for me was when I followed all the rules, and life still tanked that I knew something had to be wrong with the rules. It's kind of like what's going on in the world right now. Everybody's just wondering and following a set of rules that they stood by for so long and they don't realize that sometimes they need to find their own. (05:11)

•   It was everything I knew and believed in, so I was determined to make it work. So, I got involved with network marketing, and I was officially the worst human they'd ever seen, I was so afraid and so broken down, and I sucked at sales. I knew nothing about sales, I was doing phone TV, internet as electricity, I was disconnecting people's phones, I was screwing it up, royally.

She has been my mentor for just a little over a year, but has also turned into one of my favoritest friends, and I just love her. I wanted to bring her to everybody who listens, because here's one thing that I want everybody to understand, is that this podcast would most likely not exist if she hadn't have popped into my life. I know that Unleashed would not be the name of it, because when we were in Cabo, we were talking about the podcast, and she said, Oh my gosh, Kristina Unleashed. And we were like, bingo, that's it. That's it. So I am here to introduce to you my wonderful, beautiful favorites friend, Danelle Delgado, and she is going to share her brilliance with everybody who is listening to us today.

•  You're my leader now, right? Whatever it is, I'm in. I wasn't going to question anything, and I honestly I'm not positive, but I know that he heard me. I know that he heard me. This wasn't even part of my notes of what I was going to talk about, but clearly, this is what somebody needs to hear right now, because otherwise it wouldn't have come up. (06:45)

•  So, what I want to express today is that faith, you reaching inside, you reaching down deep down in your soul and bringing out that faith, bringing up that trust, and knowing you're going to be brought to wherever God wants you to be in your life. (09:59)

I am your host, Kristina Sjolund, and I am so excited to have you here with me today. Today I'm gonna go into faith. Some people may get uncomfortable with that, but probably the majority of the people who are listening to my podcast, they're not afraid of it. So, we're going to go into it because I feel like right now, there are, especially people in the northwest, not just in the Northwest, but the entire West Coast. Several of us are going into another lockdown. How angry does that make you? I'm angry, I don't like that. I'm not a fan, and you can disagree with me, but that's okay, because... That's okay. But I really wanted to touch on today was faith, belief and success, because I believe even when we first started going into these whole shut down things across the country, we talked about different ways that you could flourish through it, you could grow through it.

SHOW NOTES:

•     It's not an easy thing to talk about because our debt is a private, it's almost a private entity of the household, and when we think about it or we talk about it, it's one of those things that we wanna just put under the rug, but consumer debt and household debt has risen to the highest level that it's ever been this year, and I know that people feel hopeless. (1:57)

•    The start of the deception when it comes to money and how people think that money works and how our banking system works and how a fractional banking system is... I mean, some people don't know this, but your money is not in the bank, there's a fraction of your money in the bank. If everybody went to the bank and said, I want to get all my money out of here, you wouldn't be able to do it, and even though it's your money. (4:33)

•    We're in the age of social media where the highlights, the highlights are what people share on social media, and there are people that start to feel bad about themselves if they don't have enough. Or if they look a certain way, like all of these things, and when they see other people with things and the cars, and they're wanting to fit in or be looked up to... Does that make sense? Yeah, and then what happens is, because they don't feel good about that, they need the instant gratification, and they go and buy with money that they don't have, to impress people that don't even care. (6:19)

•    The average person has less than $3000 in their retirement account, and people say, Oh well, you know, I can think about that later, or it's in my 401k, or I've got it in this or whatever, but... do you really know exactly how much you're going to have when you retire? When you're ready to retire, and is it going to be enough to support what the statistics say? That you need money for medical bills, you're going to need it. (12:50)

•    Same number as last time, 512-270-2037. you can text the word DEBT to that number, and it will send you a quick financial quiz, and that quiz, it's just going to give you a little, I guess, a little eye-opening view as to some of the things that we might talk about. But then also, we can set up a time to do a free analysis based on that questionnaire, I'll be able to determine if someone would need a financial analysis, and then from that financial analysis, that's how we know if you qualify for the program.

• You don't ever want to give up. Because when people start their businesses, these things don't happen overnight, and most likely, it's not going to happen in your first month. You might, in some network marketing companies, in your first month or so, you can earn bonuses, I did. It actually changed the trajectory for me, I earned bonuses within my first couple of months, I earned a car bonus, which was definitely helpful in my situation. (03:10)

• I don't care if it's a brick and mortar business, if it's an online business, if it's a boutique business, if it's a mobile business, if it's network marketing, you have to stay consistent in your actions. You have to be taking action every single day, because if you give up or your consistency breaks down, you don't get results. (05:35)

• Whatever your product, your brand, your label, whatever it is that you want out there, you need to make sure that you get it out there enough to where people picture you when they hear that word. Many of you know my business, I'm a Thriver, I have my personal Thrive business. When people see Thrive, people that I'm connected to, they think of me because I've done that job of reaching out and putting my name on that. (08:08)

• The CEO was talking to us, and this was in the very beginning. I was very new to it, and I was also very new to being a single mom, and I'll never forget how he said, If you want to get to the top, you're going to have to sacrifice time. You're going to have to sacrifice time with your family. You're going to have to sacrifice. (11:13)

SHOW NOTES:

•     It took me a really long time to get because I thought if people in my organization aren't working, it's gotta be my fault, it's not your fault. And there's another thing that's called the speed of the leader determines the speed of the team, not necessarily because there are people who are doing things on their time frame, there are people who are more confident than others, but you cannot be responsible for what those other people do. (3:35)

•     And this is something that is really, really, really important for you to know. And even in corporate America, same thing, there are people who are comfortable where they're at. Maybe they're at a desk and they are a receptionist and they don't want to do anything more than just that. But then comes a time when they are ready for more, they want to take on more responsibility, they want to grow, they want to advance in their career, and they're going to take steps in order to move forward. (6:10)

•     You stay in your own lane, don't worry about what those other people think of you, don't worry about it, because you are advancing in a way that you can, in the way that you're comfortable with. As long as you're doing it legit, as long as you are doing it in a way that you are helping other people grow, you are helping other people develop, that's where you're going to get the respect. (8:33)

•    And if somebody doesn't wanna build it, if somebody doesn't want to advance, it doesn't make you a bad leader, it just makes them not ready. Maybe it's not their cup of tea, maybe they're not ready to be a leader, but you can be a leader to them and everybody who is connected to them. (12:17)

•   There are leaders who don't want to talk to their team or they talk in a harsh way. They talk in a way that's demeaning, they talk in a way that makes other people feel bad, and they don't want to be part of that organization. They make them want to walk away from it. Why would you want to be part of an organization if you have no support or you've got somebody who's being rude to you? So I try to be the best listener and the best communicator that I possibly can, because that's really important. (16:41)

SHOW NOTES:

•     It took me a really long time to get because I thought if people in my organization aren't working, it's gotta be my fault, it's not your fault. And there's another thing that's called the speed of the leader determines the speed of the team, not necessarily because there are people who are doing things on their time frame, there are people who are more confident than others, but you cannot be responsible for what those other people do. (3:35)

•     And this is something that is really, really, really important for you to know. And even in corporate America, same thing, there are people who are comfortable where they're at. Maybe they're at a desk and they are a receptionist and they don't want to do anything more than just that. But then comes a time when they are ready for more, they want to take on more responsibility, they want to grow, they want to advance in their career, and they're going to take steps in order to move forward. (6:10)

•     You stay in your own lane, don't worry about what those other people think of you, don't worry about it, because you are advancing in a way that you can, in the way that you're comfortable with. As long as you're doing it legit, as long as you are doing it in a way that you are helping other people grow, you are helping other people develop, that's where you're going to get the respect.

Whether you be a manager, team leader, whatever you, whatever your title may be, really building a team and having leadership and leadership skills, it's across the board. You have to have some sort of leadership skills, but also there's something that's really important that I started thinking about today, and I said, you know what, I want to bring this to you guys. Let me just start out by saying that leadership can be really scary, because if it's not something that you're used to, or maybe you're used to just being the leader of your family, maybe you're used to being the captain of the softball team or something like that when you were younger.

SHOW NOTES:

•    So once you start implementing those small steps, 15 minutes, half an hour earlier, eventually within maybe a week, you can start getting up at 5, 30 or 6 just like you wanted to, and then you do that, and if you consistently do that for, let's say, 30 days or 45 days, you're going to create a good habit of getting up early. (4:11)

•    I don't want you to set yourself up for failure with doing something, just like with that hour-long exercise, and it might be too much for you, maybe you're too tired after even just 10 minutes, you can go with my friend Amanda's four-minute workout. So we're talking about these habits and starting to grow them small. (7:59)

•    You need to be adding connections every day. What I would recommend is each day, add one friend, just one friend, that's all you have to just one connection, maybe it's from a group, maybe it's from a networking group, maybe it's a group that you're in... we're all in a ton of groups, but you need to start building those connections. (8:58)

•    If you don't do it, if you don't follow through with your task, I don't consider that necessarily a failure. It's just practice. And then you start over, and when that 30 days, when you hit that 30 days through your win, there's your win. So those are my three tips for your creating good habits and implementing good habits. That is keeping it small so that they're achievable and they're not a turn off, it's not something that's overwhelming for you. (16:55)

•    Especially if you're working from home. It's really easy to fall into a trap of bad habits, it's easy for those good habits to kind of be set aside every once in a while. Maybe you let something slide, don't do that, because then that habit can then you're replacing a good habit with a bad habit and not just going backwards, you don't wanna do that, you want to be moving forwards at all times.

•     If it's something that's going to move your business forward, you need to do it, you need to hold yourself to it, you need to commit to it and just do it. Or, if it doesn't fit with you, then you don't do it, but there's no maybe. (4:16)

•    If you bad-mouth someone else, or if you... Let's talk about competition. This is what I do not like at all. Most of you know I'm a network marketing. You know what, I think we've got the best product. We've got the best product in health and wellness. Now, there's other health and wellness companies, do I think they're less than? Well, they must work for someone, because if they didn't, they wouldn't be our competition. Right? So I'm not going to say bad things about that company, I'm not going to say bad things about other people, because I'm a big believer in what comes around, goes around. (7:13)

•    What better teacher than somebody who can teach from their experience. Okay, let me see. I relate better when somebody has experienced something in their life and overcome it, and they can teach me from that experience. Not just something that... How do I say it? Not just something that they've read about, they actually experienced it. So when you have these skills, when you have experienced these things and overcome these challenges and you can be like, You know what, let's talk personal trainers, which I'm probably going to get some backlash on this, but I want you to hear me out. So when I am working with a personal trainer, if they've not experienced my setbacks, my challenges, maybe my eating habits, if they haven't experienced that, and then overcome it, if they did experience it, then they're going to help me overcome that.

I want to share with you a story about this woman who helped me, I didn't even know her, and it has stuck with me ever since.

SHOW NOTES:

•     It's not an easy thing to talk about because our debt is a private, it's almost a private entity of the household, and when we think about it or we talk about it, it's one of those things that we wanna just put under the rug, but consumer debt and household debt has risen to the highest level that it's ever been this year, and I know that people feel hopeless. (1:57)

•    The start of the deception when it comes to money and how people think that money works and how our banking system works and how a fractional banking system is... I mean, some people don't know this, but your money is not in the bank, there's a fraction of your money in the bank. If everybody went to the bank and said, I want to get all my money out of here, you wouldn't be able to do it, and even though it's your money. (4:33)

•    We're in the age of social media where the highlights, the highlights are what people share on social media, and there are people that start to feel bad about themselves if they don't have enough. Or if they look a certain way, like all of these things, and when they see other people with things and the cars, and they're wanting to fit in or be looked up to... Does that make sense? Yeah, and then what happens is, because they don't feel good about that, they need the instant gratification, and they go and buy with money that they don't have, to impress people that don't even care. (6:19)

•    The average person has less than $3000 in their retirement account, and people say, Oh well, you know, I can think about that later, or it's in my 401k, or I've got it in this or whatever, but... do you really know exactly how much you're going to have when you retire? When you're ready to retire, and is it going to be enough to support what the statistics say? That you need money for medical bills, you're going to need it. (12:50)

•    Same number as last time, 512-270-2037. you can text the word DEBT to that number, and it will send you a quick financial quiz, and that quiz, it's just going to give you a little, I guess, a little eye-opening view as to some of the things that we might talk about. But then also, we can set up a time to do a free analysis based on that questionnaire, I'll be able to determine if someone would need a financial analysis, and then from that financial analysis, that's how we know if you qualify for the program.

• Text - WEALTH: 5122702037

 

SHOW NOTES:

•    One of my favorite things that Wayne Dyer says, we talked about this a little while ago, is that in rejecting something you know nothing about is like the ultimate form of ignorance. And so any time I hear a strategy, or I hear something that could educate me more on something that I know nothing about, then I'm very open to it. (5:26)

•     And then I started researching that, I learned about the infinite banking concept, which is what we're gonna talk about today, and how you could have safe money strategies that have paid dividends for 10, 60 years, even through the Great Depression. (8:03)

•    There's many ways that it works and many benefits, so when you think about life insurance, you think about, Oh, it's only going to benefit you when you die. And with the types of policies that I believe in, you have living benefits and you have access to that money, so this high cash value, early early high cash value dividend policy is... It's a wealth-building strategy. (12:02)

•    So the key factor is the uninterrupted compounding interest, and that is how you build wealth, that's how you build legacy wealth, and how you can teach your kids how to not get trapped in the world of going out and borrowing money and paying cash for things and all of that. You can teach your children how to take control of their finances and to have that financial freedom, true financial freedom. (20:33)

•    And I'm not here to convince someone that it's the best thing for them because it may not be for them. They may not want to use it like I do, they may want to have more risk, I don't want any risk because I have made a lot of mistakes. I used to work for a financial company years ago, and a lot of people's money was tied in the stock market, and people will come in and write 100,000 checks, and then the next week it would only be 20,000 and it just made me sick to my stomach.

SHOW NOTES:

•    One of my favorite things that Wayne Dyer says, we talked about this a little while ago, is that in rejecting something you know nothing about is like the ultimate form of ignorance. And so any time I hear a strategy, or I hear something that could educate me more on something that I know nothing about, then I'm very open to it. (5:26)

•     And then I started researching that, I learned about the infinite banking concept, which is what we're gonna talk about today, and how you could have safe money strategies that have paid dividends for 10, 60 years, even through the Great Depression. (8:03)

•    There's many ways that it works and many benefits, so when you think about life insurance, you think about, Oh, it's only going to benefit you when you die. And with the types of policies that I believe in, you have living benefits and you have access to that money, so this high cash value, early early high cash value dividend policy is... It's a wealth-building strategy. (12:02)

•    So the key factor is the uninterrupted compounding interest, and that is how you build wealth, that's how you build legacy wealth, and how you can teach your kids how to not get trapped in the world of going out and borrowing money and paying cash for things and all of that. You can teach your children how to take control of their finances and to have that financial freedom, true financial freedom. (20:33)

•    And I'm not here to convince someone that it's the best thing for them because it may not be for them. They may not want to use it like I do, they may want to have more risk, I don't want any risk because I have made a lot of mistakes. I used to work for a financial company years ago, and a lot of people's money was tied in the stock market, and people will come in and write 100,000 checks, and then the next week it would only be 20,000 and it just made me sick to my stomach.

SHOW NOTES:

•    It was miserable, I would weigh myself every single day and just beat the crap out of myself. Anything that happened, I was a self sabotager, which most of us are. I had major body images, I'm 54, and at 235 pounds, that's a big size for a girl. And it's just like I said, I wouldn't talk to people. I was very negative, which if you know me now, I'm on the polar opposite of that. I was very negative. And my brother is the one who, he opened a gym and he knew how miserable I was, and he said, You know, you really should come in and work out, just super open, and I said, No, no, I'm not getting bulky because every girl thinks that they're going to get bulky, but most people that I train, don't want to be. (3:40)

•    I was a girl who just never worked out, I never... Like I said, I couldn't run the mile in high school, I couldn't... I couldn't even do that. And like I said, now I can run a half marathon, I can run... And it's one of the reasons I became a trainer is because the gym truly changed my life. And I feel like the gym is just a tool for me to get to people, to teach them how to really change their way, because anybody can work out, that's why people fall off, because anybody can work out. It goes so much deeper than that. (6:22)

•   You build a relationship with somebody and you tell them everything. I mean, you just do. And so I know the perfect time inside of the workout when they're exhausted, they're struggling because they're already broken down and in a vulnerable state, and I'll hit them with a question that is very personal. I've had people cry during workouts like, Why did you do this to me? And they say, I just came here to work out, and I say; No, you didn't come to me for that. (10:00)

•   It's life-changing for them, it has been for me as well, because I didn't have that, I didn't have somebody to help me. And so for me, that's why I became a trainer, I'm like, this changed my life. I can help people change their life through fitness, it just happens to be through working now. It's not just the working out, it just happened to be my avenue to help people, like my way of getting to people. (15:03)

•   I compare it to taking care of your car. Everybody loves their car. If you don't put gas in your car, what happens? It doesn't run. If you don't give your body healthy foods and exercise for a human body, and I'm not saying go balls out like I do, but I'm saying a human body has certain needs, it just has to have it to thrive. It just needs basic nutrition and basic exercise, and of course, keeping your mind clear and feeding it and doing all those things.  The cars the same way, if you don't give it good gas or if we don't change the oil, what happens... It breaks down. (19:27)

Sometimes when I read her... when I read her posts, I'm like, Yes. Because she tells it like it is. That's my kind of person. This is my friend, Tanya Morehead. And she's going to tell her story. She describes herself to me as a typical girl growing up overweight, angry, unhappy with herself. I think a lot of women, even men for that matter, have this issue, and she has changed.

SHOW NOTES:

•  I tell my kids, they'll have a good day at school. They'll come home and then something bad happens. I'm having a terrible day. No, you're having a crappy moment, that's all. So, if you have all of the power within your mind to be able to redirect that energy and create a positive outcome, you've got to raise that vibration level, you've got to raise that energy level. We've got to do that in order to function at higher levels, because we have control over our lives, we've got control over our energy. (3:28)

• They're looking for growth, they're looking for getting that higher level, their drive, their determination, all of that, that's what I want to be around, that's what I want to be surrounding myself with, and that's why I tried my best to surround myself with as many people who are driven like that as I possibly can. Because that energy is contagious, that vibe, I pick up that vibe and then it raises me to a new level. I love that feeling. That's what makes me go. That's what makes me grow. That's what gets my creative juices flowing. We have to do these things in order to get to that higher level. (6:21)

•  Change the people that you interact with and change the people that you have conversations with. If there's somebody that you have conversations with who brings you down and they don't lift you up, limit your time with them. I'm not saying to cut them off, but I'm saying, Limit your time with them. (10:24)

•  I don't like to offend people, I like to make people think. But I know that I can gauge a conversation. If it looks like arguing, I'm like, alright, I'm out because it doesn't do anything, it doesn't do anything. But I'm going to respectfully take a step back, take my positive energy and redirect it somewhere else with something that I'm passionate about. Don't submerge yourself in that because it'll just keep spiraling down and spiraling down, and then you get pissed and then you're angry and then, guess what? Then you're the person in the office, or you're the person at home, that brings that negative energy and makes everybody else miserable. We don't like that, right? (14:28)

•  I want to hear from you. I want to know, what raises your vibe? And what are you going to do this week in order to raise it? Because it's contagious. We want everybody, but if we can collectively raise that vibe, I think there's going to be more happiness in the world. You know what? I don't think that, 'Oh, what can I do?' You can be something huge to somebody without even knowing it. If you go out and you raise your vibe, you might touch maybe 10 people. Then maybe those 10 people, touch another 10 people...it's that whole pay it forward thing. (23:08)

I'm not going to lie, when I jump on to Facebook, it brings me down a little bit, so I have to forcefully change my algorithm, I have to go in and I have to comment, I have to seek out people who lift me up, who raise my vibe, who make me feel good, they raise my spirit. So I have to seek those people out and I have to interact with them, I have to comment on their posts, so that Facebook starts to show me the things that I really want to see, the things that make me feel good. Because what's on social media right now, I don't know about you, but sometimes it's not a place that I really want to be. This is just me personally, I've been limiting my time, I have turned off my TV, I might watch some alien shows, because those are fun to watch, right? But what I really want to get across is that energy is so contagious, and you know how when you're, maybe you're at work and one person comes in, they have a really crappy attitude, that attitude weighs off on everybody, and one person can poison an entire unit, or an entire department. They can poison an entire team. I've been on sports teams before where one person comes in with a really crappy attitude and they ruin it for everybody, and it just throws off the vibe for the entire team, and so that energy that's around us is also contagious, we are contagious as well.

•  And the message went on, and it was like people created that narrative, and they created the narrative of the sins of his family, and they created this story that wasn't even true. And there was another side of the story. It wasn't the parents, it was just because he was born blind, and we live this, this is kind of our lives sometimes, and the world side of a story. Especially the society that we live in right now, is that the world wants to blame shame and guilt, everyone, they want to find blame, shame and guilt in everything. Everywhere, all the time, right?(4:48)

•  I had to create a new narrative. I had to create my narrative because I knew that that really wasn't how my life was. So, when you break those changes, people are going to question that also. You know, they're going to say, you didn't achieve that. You know those haters that we talked about? It's like you got to get those out of your head. They'll let you know all the time. They'll try to bring you down.(7:49)

•  I will continue to accept the blessings that are thrown my way. I don't even know how you say that, because I don't want to say created, because I try to not say that I'm the one who created. But I'll tell you what, I am open to it. And it's so important for us to know what that story is. You don't need to convince anybody with any of the details, it's your story. And you lived it. (11:07)

•  You have to embrace your story because somebody needs to hear it. The details are going to be different though, like my details are going to be different than perhaps your details. And also, that's why the details don't matter. When I say I wasn't into drugs, maybe somebody was. Maybe you are a recovering addict, and maybe you're embarrassed of that, and you don't want to say that you were. But somebody else out there is, somebody is in that position, and that person needs to hear your story, that person needs to hear your story because that person needs to know that there's a way out. (15:55)

•  You can help them get out of that dark place. We're here on this planet to help other people naturally. It's human nature to help others, it really is. I know it's hard to believe right now, but it really, really is. It's in our nature, and that's why it's so chaotic now. Because somebody is trying to create a different narrative for us, and we need to fight against that. We need to create our own. So, know your story. Know the power of your story. And share your story.(19:48)

]]> 37-Going Against Their Narrative Kristina Sjolund 00:21:24 Hello and welcome back to The unleashed Podcast. I'm your host, Kristina Sjolund. I appreciate you taking the time to tune in today, if you are new, I especially welcome you. I hope that you get a lot out of this episode and that you come back for more, you go back into the search bar and you find previous episodes, and hopefully you can get something to move you forward in your life and give you more confidence, more Oomph, to get through your journey. Today I want to talk about going against the narrative. A narrative is a story, it's a story being told. And I'm not talking about the news, the media narrative, I want to talk about the narrative of your life. Maybe somebody at some point in your life framed your story in a way, they created a narrative, it's up to you to go against it, it's up to you to create your own story, to frame your story in the way that it needs to be told. Maybe it's an ex-spouse, maybe it's a parent or a family member, maybe they framed your story. They told you, you know your whole life, you're a loser, you'll never amount to anything. Trust me, these things happen and you have the power to change it, it's your story. Ready? Let's dive in and learn more... Hello and welcome back to The unleashed Podcast. I'm your host, Kristina Sjolund. I appreciate you taking the time to tune in today, if you are new, I especially welcome you. I hope that you get a lot out of this episode and that you come back for more, you go back into the search bar and you find previous episodes, and hopefully you can get something to move you forward in your life and give you more confidence, more Oomph, to get through your journey. Today I want to talk about going against the narrative. A narrative is a story, it's a story being told. And I'm not talking about the news, the media narrative, I want to talk about the narrative of your life. Maybe somebody at some point in your life framed your story in a way, they created a narrative, it's up to you to go against it, it's up to you to create your own story, to frame your story in the way that it needs to be told. Maybe it's an ex-spouse, maybe it's a parent or a family member, maybe they framed your story. They told you, you know your whole life, you're a loser, you'll never amount to anything.

SHOW NOTES:

•  I am incredibly blessed to be in the position that I'm in in my life. I am financially stable, I am financially secure, I don't worry too much. Even now, I feel like I need to hold back because I don't want somebody to feel bad. I don't want somebody to be offended by me saying that I'm in a great financial position. Am I proud of that? Hell yes, I am. And I should be. (5:33)

•   I'm constantly in a working and growth mode in order to move forward with my life. And every once in a while, something comes and gets me, so I'm not perfect in all of this, but I know that I have to have these conversations with myself on a regular basis to put myself in check. I know I've talked before about doing a self-audit... I do that. I do that sometimes. I'm like, 'Okay, well, what are you doing? Are you holding yourself back because of what other people are thinking? Or what other people are maybe doing, or not doing? Don't do that. Don't allow them to get in your way, because it really comes down to you. Especially if you are building a business of your own. (9:23)

•  I want my own freedom, but again, I don't fault someone else who does do that. But those people are going to say, 'Well, it's Friday night. Yeah, it's Friday night and I'm working, I'm working. There's people who go camping over the weekend, I'm working over the weekend. And I'm good with that. I'll take phone calls at 7 o'clock in the morning or 9 o'clock at night, whatever it is. And they're like, 'Oh, you're always working... Yeah, I am. Because I'm building an empire. My empire. My building hours are not eight to five. But I've got a lot of free time in between where I can fill that, I can do things. If I don't feel like taking a call at a particular time, then I don't take a call at a particular time, I'm open. I'm free.(11:54)

•  Oh, I've got a friend. I've got a friend who says she builds full-time families. How would that be? That's what I want. I want a full-time family, I don't want to be putting in the commute time. I'm not going to let somebody else's words hold me back. And, If I outperform people in my circle, I'm going to step into another circle where there's people who are out performing me, that are going to make me kick it up a notch so that I can perform better. (14:17)

•  When I started making my list, I'm like, Damn. Okay, okay, I killed it, I killed it. But you know what, I can do more. I've got to step it up. So I want you to keep that in mind because I know that if it comes up, especially if it comes up more than once in a week, there's a reason for that. If it comes up more than a week, you're going to hear me talking about it with you, because if it's that often out there, somebody else is feeling that as well... It's very common. (15:07)

SHOW NOTES:

•   Time management is probably one of the hardest things, especially for business people. When our kids are learning from home, they're not in school for six hours or seven hours. Whether it's in their room or in the dining room, or wherever you have them set up to be in there doing their online learning, then they're going to be in that area, but it's only going to be for two or three hours a day. It's not spaced out, there's not a PE class, there's not these things where everything is timed out in 40 minutes for a class, and a lot of it is recorded learning. (2:34)

•   So, what I have done is I have looked all over and done my research and found some things that I thought that I would share with you guys. We're going to have to be doing kind of like a double discipline in time. We're going to have to make sure that they are disciplined in their focus, and we're disciplined in ours as well. Because, hey, they're learning for us, you guys, they soak up everything. They are sponges, so we have to be that example. And if we don't discipline ourselves or anything, they're going to see that, and then they're not disciplined in their activities of what they're doing. So, while they're learning, it's time for us to work. (4:26)

•   I've told you guys that I have my gratitude journal. I keep my goals in there, I keep the 10 things each day that I'm thankful and grateful for. These are things that they should be doing on a regular basis, because the most successful people in the world do these things. Let me repeat that. The most successful people in the world keep journals with goals and things that they're grateful for, they start their day with what they're grateful for. (8:26)

•   So, this little garden that sits on my counter, it has a UV light and it's got these little pods with these dirt sponge things and the seeds go in these old dirt sponges, and I can grow whatever I want. So, downstairs on my kitchen counter, right now I have fresh basil. I have fresh thyme. I have fresh parsley. My Cilantro is just not coming up, so I don't know what's wrong with that. I've got Dill. These are things that I can grow in my house, obviously, I'm not going to be growing corn, it's not going to fit on my counter, but I can grow all kinds of herbs. Next, I'm going to throw in some cherry tomatoes in there. (12:45)

•  How many times do you go, 'Oh my God, I can't afford that right now?' I don't want my kids to live like that, I want them to have that emergency fund where they can take care of that, and then they build that emergency fund back up. I want them to save up money for the things that they want, the things that they need. I want them to be able to buy a car. I don't want them to have high interest rates, should they have to finance that car through the bank. If they can learn how to save enough money to pay cash for a car... Let's do it. (25:01)

SHOW NOTES:

•  If you have a product to sell, whether it is health and wellness, whether it's coaching, whether it's clothing, people want to know you, people need to trust who they are buying from, and trust nowadays is really hard to come by. (2:20)

•  When you start building that market, you need to make sure that people know you. I'm not talking about personal relationships, but they know you, you're not just putting a product out there, people need to know what you stand for, people people want to see it, share your life. (4:15)

•  People want to see you living, people want to see you being able to enjoy life. For some, it gives them permission to live louder, it gives them permission to live out loud, it gives them some sort of validation for wanting the things that they want. (5:49)

•  Let me tell you, I believe in people before they believe in themselves, all the time. My kids, my team, my family, it doesn't matter, I know that anybody's capable of overcoming anything. (8:05)

•  I promise, it's going to happen. It takes the execution, it takes the belief in yourself, it takes the vision. You write it down, you have your mission, vision and values all in place. It's time to get it out there, it's time to put yourself out there, it's time to attract the right team of people, it's time to attract the right network of people. And you will all grow. (10:16)

SHOW NOTES:

•  Most likely, you're not going to unfriend somebody, just because they think differently, you're not going to stand outside and chant out of their name outside of their home because you don't like the way that they think. You're not going to blast them on social media, because most likely you are a fair-minded person. You have an opinion, everybody is entitled to their opinion, but we have been conditioned in this society that you cannot speak your mind, and if you are a business owner, you have even less of a right to speak your mind. Let me tell you right now, that is not true. And you need people to trust you. (2:33)

•  How many of you guys have a My Pillow? Do you know how many I've got? I've got five My Pillows, and then two little ones, do you know why? It's not even that because they're comfortable. It's because I trust the guy. It's because I see him, I've read his story, I've listened to him. I trust that he has been upfront about his background, like you know his story, and he stands for everything that I stand for. (5:55)

•  It's Young and the Restless. So here I'm watching it and they had a daughter, young little girl. Maybe it was Victoria, maybe. I don't know, whatever. They had a young daughter. Well then, you know, I watch it for the summer, and then the following summer, just one year later, that little girl was a teenager and I'm like...What did I miss? So I am like, Holy cow. I don't know, I know that that's probably a stretch as mistress, but I'm like, Oh my gosh, what am I getting at... What am I getting myself into?They're the back stabbing, the women that are fighting over the men who are cheating, and there's a constant barrage of lies and things that make us not trust, that make us question everything that comes across our eyeballs. We need to not be that. (11:09)

•  Have you ever heard someone speak their mind? Have you ever heard someone speak their mind but get pushed back and then apologize because of the social media police? How many people do you know who have stood up for something that they believe in strongly, and then they come back and apologize for saying what they said or I shouldn't say saying what they said? Because sometimes, people do use really crappy wording, but if it's something that they truly believe in and they stand for, and then the social media police comes and says, you shouldn't think that way. And then they say, Oh, I'm sorry, I should have never said that. (15:16)

•  My kids know if I say no to something, they don't even... I'm not saying this to sound tough or sound like a bad ass or anything like that, when I say no, my kids know, don't ask again. But it's not that I've instilled in them some sort of fear, it's because I have instilled in them a respect. They respect my answer of No because I say yes to a lot, and when I say No, there's always a reason behind it, and they know that, and if they want to know the reason behind it, they don't even have to ask because I'm going to give them the reason. It's never, No, because I said so, I grew up with that. I didn't like that answer. (19:51)

You have an opinion, everybody is entitled to their opinion, but we have been conditioned in this society that you cannot speak your mind, and if you are a business owner, you have even less of a right to speak your mind. Let me tell you right now, that is not true. And you need people to trust you. (2:33)

•  How many of you guys have a My Pillow? Do you know how many I've got? I've got five My Pillows, and then two little ones, do you know why? It's not even that because they're comfortable. It's because I trust the guy. It's because I see him, I've read his story, I've listened to him. I trust that he has been upfront about his background, like you know his story, and he stands for everything that I stand for. (5:55)

•  It's Young and the Restless. So here I'm watching it and they had a daughter, young little girl. Maybe it was Victoria, maybe. I don't know, whatever. They had a young daughter. Well then, you know, I watch it for the summer, and then the following summer, just one year later, that little girl was a teenager and I'm like...What did I miss? So I am like, Holy cow. I don't know, I know that that's probably a stretch as mistress, but I'm like, Oh my gosh, what am I getting at... What am I getting myself into?They're the back stabbing, the women that are fighting over the men who are cheating, and there's a constant barrage of lies and things that make us not trust, that make us question everything that comes across our eyeballs. We need to not be that. (11:09)

•  Have you ever heard someone speak their mind? Have you ever heard someone speak their mind but get pushed back and then apologize because of the social media police? How many people do you know who have stood up for something that they believe in strongly, and then they come back and apologize for saying what they said or I shouldn't say saying what they said? Because sometimes, people do use really crappy wording, but if it's something that they truly believe in and they stand for, and then the social media police comes and says, you shouldn't think that way. And then they say, Oh, I'm sorry, I should have never said that. (15:16)

•  My kids know if I say no to something, they don't even... I'm not saying this to sound tough or sound like a bad ass or anything like that, when I say no, my kids know, don't ask again. But it's not that I've instilled in them some sort of fear, it's because I have instilled in them a respect. They respect my answer of No because I say yes to a lot, and when I say No, there's always a reason behind it, and they know that, and if they want to know the reason behind it, they don't even have to ask because I'm going to give them the reason. It's never, No, because I said so, I grew up with that. I didn't like that answer. (19:51)

Even last night, I got a phone call from a friend of mine who is a business owner, and she was like, Oh my gosh, everything that I wanted to say for so long. And I'm always afraid to put it out there, and we need to stop that. We need to own who we are, we need to speak our truth. If you don't know where somebody is coming from, if you don't know what their thought process is or what they stand for, if they even stand for anything.

SHOW NOTES:

•  So I shared it because I loved it. It spoke to me. It brought something out in me that felt powerful. Not that I was powerful. But it was a powerful feeling. (3:50)

•  Because I'll tell you what, my voice matters. When it comes to helping children, bringing attention where it needs to be, because if somebody else isn't doing that, those kids deserve that, we need to call out the people who are saying the things that they're saying, we need to call out the people who are doing the things that they're doing.(5:55)

•  Politics is too divisive. But let me tell you something, our health and children can bring us together. If we come together, we can make changes, we can change things, we have been silenced for so freaking long, our world has gotten out of control. And let me tell you, it's not going to take just one person to get us out of this, it's not going to be one person, it's going to take us collectively to come together and start making ourselves heard, we need to speak for ourselves, we need to speak for the voiceless.  (9:17)

•   One of the posts that I did this past week has been shared over 1100 times, and the people who are speaking on it, I go back and I'm looking at the comments on it... That people are like, Yes, this needs to be said. Another one of my posts, it's one of the posts that I made regarding business and what's going on and speaking out and using your voice, that's their strength, that's been shared nearly 100 times, and the comments, the friend requests, the follows... When I go back and I want to see what people think. I want to see what people have to say, because I want to be their voice. (12:50)

•  We all have to start fighting back because pretty soon are small businesses are gonna be no businesses, it's time to speak up, it's time to make your voice heard, it's a time you wanna live and least live on leash, it's time, it's time for us to all gather together, all speak our voices, we all need to stand up and call out what's wrong.

•  You are all of these many moving parts in order for the business to survive, but what was missing is, how do you hone in on what decisions to make for your business that propels your business. (5:36)

•   And it takes somebody that's been there to really help you navigate, is it for real, this feeling, or is this like a good decision for my business for the long run. And then it all depends on your goals too. (11:31)

•  It's really just about making sure that you are living a meaningful life for yourself, being honest with who you are and what you want. Because I think business is evolved also, you kinda start off with this plan of like, oh, my target market is only going to be this, and then as that success grows, you change as a person and then your target market changes as well. (19:50)

•  I think that the only models that we've been given as women primarily in the world of business are men, not that that's bad, it's just not how we naturally operate regularly, and I think that as we allow ourselves and give ourselves permission, right? Which is a big thing out there in the online world, is giving permission to succeed. (20:31)

SHOW NOTES:

•  And it really started with my mom, my mom wrapped us up with love, we didn't have the most traditional upbringing, but she wrapped us in love, so it almost gave us the rose colored glasses to our whole entire life, and the things that they constantly said, I've paraphrased now, but it's a phrase that I use with my kids, which is, I'm perfectly wonderful, made in the image of God. (02:43)

•  I don't believe that my parents believe that I could do anything, they believed in who I was as an individual, and I think that this was probably the most instrumental thing, that for me, because they didn't ask me to be my brother, they didn't ask me to be in those things, and my daughter said it to me the other day, which is awesome. I said, Be yourself, always. (04:48)

•  It was desperation, it wasn't like an entrepreneurial spirit, it was like, we got free lunch at school, so we are got five tickets for free because we didn't have enough money to be able to get lunch, and then me and my brother would sell them and then we would buy the kind of lunch that we wanted. (8:24)

•  I want to write it like I talk... When you read the book, and my take on this, I like when you read a book, it's like we're having a conversation like and I may not win a A in  how to write a book, but that was me, it came from my voice, and so I had wanted to do it for so long, and then my wife literally said, Why don't you shut up and go do it. (11:49)

•  It's like when they're out of sync makes things a little bit difficult and you have little challenges, and it's about adaptability, and when things start changing what we're in now, we need to adapt to the world. I don't like the whole new normal thing, it makes me a little bit crazy, but we do have to roll with it. (16:05)

SHOW NOTES:

•  I remember how my heart just sank. See, up until this point in my life, my mom had already been married four times, and there was actually boyfriends in-between. So for me, for the first 12 years in my life, things were always changing, getting used to new father figures, getting use to new schools, we moved over 20 times up to those point in my life. (02:54)

•  So on the most challenging day of my life, also came the greatest miracle of my life and for me honestly, truly, one of the case things that's ever happened to me is that the man who picked me up from school asked me to be his son, and so crazy enough, I went from being this wild and crazy kid to all of a sudden this wild and crazy pastor's kid, just like that. (06:57)

•  I didn't believe that kind of stuff at the time or seen a junior high in high school I was fine, see all it was, I compartmentalized all my pain, all my anger or my resentment, and I put in this tiny little box and put it in the very back of my mind. (11:38)

•  See, the thing was, is when my soul was when I got rid of the bitterness and the unforgiveness, and the resentment I had no idea that there would now be room for more love, more productivity, more focus or creativity more grace for myself, and others. More peace. You can't put a price on peace if that's all you've got. With more peace, it would be worth it. (18:21)

• And I felt peace and I felt strength, but it's what I believe God told me next that changed my life, forever. And it continued. And he said, Dean, I love Bob because I love Bob and there's nothing that Bob can do that can make me love him more and there's nothing that Bob can do that can make me love him less. I'm also with him, and I've also got his back and all of a sudden I remembered all the little lessons when you're in Sunday school. (24:26)

]]> 29-Encore: The Power of Forgiveness With Dean Eric Smith Kristina Sjolund 00:40:37 Hello and welcome to The unleashed Podcast, I am your host Kristina Sjolund and today I want to share with you an excore of a very special episode with you: My friend Dean Eric Smith, and you must leave the Eric in there because that's what sets him apart. He has a tremendously amazing message. I'm so grateful to have him in my inner circle, because the way that I met Dean is through my Mastermind group. His message that he has struck me in a way that I was like, "Oh my gosh, this message needs to get to so many people. It's so important to have this as part of our lives. It is another one of those F-words called forgiveness.

KEYNOTES DISCUSSED:

•  I don't force people to listen to me, I don't force people to agree with me, and actually that's exactly what I wanted to talk about today on today's podcast, is your choices. Choose where you're going to spend your time. (02:53)

•  This monument is a monument that I think every president has gone to. I watched videos, I saw pictures of presidential candidates going there, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, George Bush, everybody has been to this monument. Now, it's all of a sudden. It's a disgrace. Well, back when I booked this trip, it wasn't a disgrace, and we were very much looking forward to this trip, and while we were on the trip, I make sure that my girls learn as much as they possibly can everywhere we go, and I want them to know all about it. (03:45)

•  It was kind of a dream trip just because, I mean, it's one of the biggest attractions in our country. When I went up there, there were people from all over the place, there were men and women, there were people of every race, every nationality, people who didn't speak English, people who spoke all kinds of different languages. There were people from all over the place. (7:17)

•  It's so amazing to me, that people, they argue their point on something on social media. They argue their point, like they're going to change somebody's mind. How do you change somebody's mind? Well, you change somebody's mind by being an example, you live the life that you want to live, live the way that you're going to live it, not for somebody else, and create an environment that the other person would want to have. But when you are somebody who is constantly doing that, and constantly arguing, it pushes the other person away.(11:32)

•  Let's go make a difference, we can be the change. It's as small as a thing that you can think of. If just 10 people, who are listening to this right now, goes out and does something good for someone, there's going to be 10 more people, and then they will do something in return. We can be the ripple effect. Can we do that? (18:49)

]]> 28-Let's Start a Ripple Effect Kristina Sjolund 00:22:40 Hello and welcome to The Unleashed Podcast. I am your host, Kristina Sjolund, and I'm going to chat a little bit today about something that we were experiencing... Oh my gosh, I was going to say, we've been experiencing it the last week, but we've actually been experiencing this for quite some time. We are going to chat about the cancel culture and also the social media constant fighting and arguing. How does it make you feel? How do you feel when... It is a constant battle? It's sucks for me, I sit there and I think to myself, I'm like, oh my gosh, I don't like to argue. I don't like to argue in person, I definitely don't like to argue on social media, it's a waste of time. You don't owe anybody on social media, you don't owe them your time. So, how are you going to spend your time? I would hope that you're going to choose your time wisely, you're going to spend it in areas that are going to benefit you and your family, and create growth for all of you. I see so much bickering and sometimes it makes me sad. So I have to check out. I have to check out of it. I know that we've talked about that before. This past week, I took myself and my girls, we all went to Mount Rushmore for the Fourth of July weekend. I booked it a few months ago, I think I might have booked it back in March. March or April. And I was so looking forward to this trip. It's somewhere that I had always wanted to go. The state, South Dakota looks amazing. It looks beautiful. I wanted to know all of the things. I love history and I can't wait to share with you about our trip. Hello and welcome to The Unleashed Podcast.

•  We go through our lives and we have these dreams, we've got these expectations of our lives, and we sit here and we wonder, how do we get there? How do we reach this goal? Now, believe it or not, there are some people who don't have those kind of visions, those kind of dreams, but most likely those people aren't listening to this podcast. Because they just, they don't have visions like you do. You have visions of something that you want to happen in your life, you've got a place, you've got somewhere that you want to go...a goal to get to. (02:16)

•  That's the kind of world that we live in now, everybody labels and the world of social media is vicious. Social media, it has helped a lot of people. It's helped me. If I didn't have social media, I wouldn't have been able to reach the people that I've been able to reach to build my business and create the connections that I've had that have moved me forward in my life. But I'll tell you this, that social media can be just as vicious, and what I want you to do is break the chains of that, I don't want you living in the chains of the labels. And I don't care who it is, I don't care if it is your family, your friends, your spouse or your kids. (04:11)

•  If you're listening to this, I hope that you are a believer. I am a believer, I have faith, I know that God is real, I know that. I will tell you something, we have been blessed beyond measure in my family, and I know why, I know why, I don't live by somebody else's labels, I don't live by somebody else's judgment, I'm only judged by one, and that's not even me. Even though sometimes I sit here, and I might make judgments about my pictures and stuff like that, but that's not truth. (5:28)

•  I'll never forget that. I am mad that I did believe it, but also it drove me to be more... It drove me to be more than that. It drove me to be something that I was told that I couldn't be successful. But whose idea of success are we living up to? Is it our idea of success, is it somebody else's idea of success? Because let me also tell you this, that once you reach a level of success, you're then criticized by a lot of the same people who told you that you couldn't do something, who told you that you couldn't do just that, and then you did. (8:09)

•  It doesn't even take money, your faith is free, your faith and your belief in yourself is free. It doesn't cost you anything to move forward, you've got to take action though, if you want to be successful in any way. If you want to be able to pay your bills. Okay, that to me, there's a success right there. If you can pay your bills with comfort and still be able to breathe and enjoy your family later on, that to me, my friends, is success, winning. Continue winning. I love winning. (10:32)

Okay, well, I'm not old, we're only as old as we feel we are, but I'm just a regular old person.

KEYNOTES DISCUSSED:

•  We talk about at least three things that we were grateful for that happened in that day, so that we can focus on. Even though there's chaos in the world around us, we can find three things that happened today, and it doesn't matter what it is, maybe they had fun playing with the dog and the dog made them laugh, or whatever it may be, we focus on three happy things that happened that day. And to end our day, we pray about the things that we're grateful for every single night. (05:03)

•  Some people think that fear is like an effective motivator, but it doesn't motivate anyone, it doesn't motivate anyone to grow spiritually or otherwise, it really just captivates you. And for a lot of people, it puts a strangle hold on you, it creates mental and emotional chains, like it grabs a hold of you and it does not let go. (06:21)

•  With faith comes power, and with fear comes paralysis. When you have faith in something, when you have a positive feeling about something, do you know how energized and exhilarated you feel? That's because you've got faith. (7:20)

•  We have to flush out darkness with light. The only way to do that is to focus on the light, the light is your blessings. The light is your positivity, the light is all of the amazing things that you have in your life, the light is your faith. If you're a spiritual person, if you're a faith based person, the light is your belief in God, your light is your belief in a higher power, that light is going to flush out any darkness and any fear that you have. So that is the only way that you're gonna do that is to focus on the light. Put your blessings and your positive thoughts in the spotlight, the easiest and fastest way to keep your focus on what is right and your gratitude, is to be journaling. (11:14)

•  If you do that daily for 90 days, see how your life and your outlook changes. 90 days, even 30 is going to make a difference. So, the 'I Choose Joy' journal that I use, it's a 90-day journal, and every 30 days there's a kind of a review of it for you to look back and see where you came from. Do it for 90 days. (12:06)

We're going to talk about the real, real... It's about to get real up in here, right? If my kids listen to this, they're going to be like, Oh my God, Mom. Are you kidding me right now? Nope, I'm not... We're talking about Deal with the REAL... Sometimes it's hard for people to have faith or hope when they're really overwhelmed with circumstances, especially right now, people are very emotionally charged, there's so much crazy going on. It's hard to keep up with. I know that for myself, I have to very much emotionally remove myself so that I don't absorb what is going on around me. I have to become an observer. I can deal with things. I can stand up for things. I can support people like in support causes. But if I get too wrapped up in it and get emotionally charged in it, it can really suck me dry, and I feel that that's going on a lot with many people. So many people focus on the negative things that it makes it really easy to lose hope. And when you've got outside circumstances as well as your inner circumstances in your life... It makes it a little bit more difficult, right? So we really have to focus on what is directly affecting us and how to deal with it so that we don't get overwhelmed. I've said many times before, what you focus on grows. This goes for fear, and it also goes for faith. It grows according to your words. If you speak out of fear, well, you're going to become more fearful, you're going to attract more negative circumstances, and even more so, you won't even be open to be able to see the blessings that you have in your life. When you start focusing on the blessings, you naturally start attracting more positive things, more positive feelings, more positive thoughts. Hello and welcome back to The Unleash Podcast.

•  I realized that I have a job and I make this paycheck, but I want to make more and it's not out of greed, it's out of wanting to have, wanting to be able to put money. I wanted a savings, I wanted a retirement, I wanted those things that I feel our necessities.  (04:11)

•  I was getting foreclosure notices on our house. I was getting shut off notices. I was trying to make sure payment arrangements with the power company, trying to figure out how I was gonna pay the water bill.  (11:37)

•  I'm an Esthetician by trade and I have been an Esthetician for 22 years now. Can you even believe that? 22 years. Holy smokes. (02:42)

•  I realized that I have a job and I make this paycheck, but I want to make more and it's not out of greed, it's out of wanting to have, wanting to be able to put money. I wanted a savings, I wanted a retirement, I wanted those things that I feel our necessities.  (04:11)

•  I was getting foreclosure notices on our house. I was getting shut off notices. I was trying to make sure payment arrangements with the power company, trying to figure out how I was gonna pay the water bill.  (11:37)

• My goal of that, I reached within my first month and a half, and that second full month I was able to get, I was able to get a car bonus, which was an extra $300, the auto bonus that we have, it's either $300 or $800.  (17:07)

•  Within my first three years, I received a seven figure earner award and was the highest paid single mom in my company and that was quite an achievement. It did not come with, it did not come without hard work. (20:59)

]]> 25-Encore: My Story - How it all Began Kristina Sjolund 00:31:37 Hello and welcome back to the Unleashed Podcast. I'm your host, Kristina Sjolund, and I thank you for tuning in today. Today I am going to be sharing an encore of my story. I wanted to reshare with you how I started my business, my journey which led me to where I am today. This is a little bit weird for me because I typically like to be talking about other people. I like to be lifting other people up. I love to be talking about business and business ideas, and everything. So for me it's a little bit, it's out of my comfort zone, but that's okay, right? Because we talk about getting out of the comfort zone, and great things happen outside of your comfort zone. So here I am. I'm jumping out of that zone.

SHOW NOTES:

•  I will say that I was actually impressed with as prepared for it I was. I have about a year's worth of food supply that if I ran out of what I have in my refrigerator, my freezer, and all of that, if I ran out of all that I would still have about a year's worth of food supply for me and my girls. (06:58)

•   I want you to make sure that you are empowered in the sense that you can take care of yourself should something happen. If crap hits the fan who's going to be able to take care of you? The last couple of weeks we've seen so much unrest and the police are tied up and trying to stop what's happening or protect businesses and protect people, we are in a position where it's going to take a longer response for anybody to come help us. (9:28)

•   I think it was each month, I was for several months in a row I was purchasing a three months supply for me and my girls. Now, you can do what is best for you, but I would suggest you check out some different places. I know that there's several different food brands out there. I can't remember. There's one in particular that I have seen at Cabello and those kinds of places. (13:57)

•   I know that a lot of you who are listening, and I'm putting myself in there, because I have gone through it before. But what we deal with sometimes is people mocking us, we deal with people talking smack, we deal with negative comments on social media, we deal with our family who looks at a side eyed, like what do you...Oh, and the eye roles and all of that. You guys, I felt like that and I even got that. When I was married he thought that it was silly for me to prepare like that, you know, I called it being prepared, and he called it crazy. (16:21)

•   I'm hoping that you take one step into doing something to get yourself and your family ready and make sure that you guys are safe, that you can protect yourself, that you've got it all handled, as much as you can, to the best of your ability. (20:15)

]]> 24-Yes, I'm Apocalypse Proof Kristina Sjolund 00:21:57 Welcome back to The Unleashed Podcast, I'm your host, Kristina Sjolund and I thank you for tuning in and listening to what I have to say. Now today, I'm going to talk about something that a lot of people don't really think about, and I know this because of what has been in my inbox, a lot of my friends know that I am, I'm not a prepper in the way that I'm overly prepared, really, I'm rather un-organized in a lot of areas, but I do like to be prepared for whatever is going to come. And you know maybe people think...Oh, the apocalypse and trust me, I have been made fun of and I have been mocked by family and my ex-husband thought I was nuts for wanting to have an emergency preparedness food storage set-up. And so I never followed through with that. I guess followed through isn't really the right word, but it's not something that I was ever able to really do while I was married. We had enough food in the refrigerator to last us probably through the week without having to go to the grocery store, but anything longer than that we were probably in some trouble. Now my question for you is, are you prepared? This sparked me for this topic this week as I was scrolling through Twitter, and I'm on Twitter actually quite a bit more than Facebook. I saw this question that somebody had posted on there, and I thought, Wow, that's really interesting where my mind went and the question was, "What's your best advice in four words or less?" Do you wanna know what my answer was? My answer was time travelers, skip 2020.That was my very first thing that I thought of was... If you're a time traveler do not stop at 2020, keep on going, find someplace else to go, because you're not going have fun. So what are you prepared for? Are you prepared for anything that comes our way? Welcome back to The Unleashed Podcast, I'm your host, Kristina Sjolund and I thank you for tuning in and listening to what I have to say.

SHOW NOTES:

•  I want you to get some of your time back I want you to get some happy back, and for you to realize that things really are better than they seem. It's confusing because we see one thing on TV and we see another thing when we go out into the real world. Have you ever noticed that? (04:33)

•  Do you know that working in your yard is the best way to become grounded? When you go out there and you're digging in the earth you're planting flowers, you're out there being grounded, you're in the ground. How many people get back to a sense of centeredness? You go out there and you feel productive when you do that. That is so important for us. (6:00)

•  I write things down, it has something...to me personally, it helps it stick in my brain, it hits me differently than when I'm typing it on my computer in my notes. So write it down, write in a book, write in a journal, write on a tablet. Maybe you want to do something for somebody else, maybe you want to help the neighbor, maybe there's an elderly neighbor that maybe can't work in their own yard, maybe you go work in theirs, maybe you go help them with that. Maybe it's even as little as helping your child with their homework, if they're still in school. (7:12)

•  I use the Calm App on my phone, and I go to the meditation section and I click on the sleep and it gives me all kinds of different options of sleep meditation. And it's soft music, there's one with the train sound, there's ocean waves, there's different options that it gives me...and I love them. I've done all of those different options and it walks you through with a voice. There's a person that's telling you how to relax each part of your body. And I'll tell you what, I am out within about two minutes. (9:16)

•  I want you to do something for yourself. This right here is so important for you, for your health, for your well-being right now. We've got to concentrate on that, we've got to take care of our minds, we've got to take care of our hearts. Okay, some people have hurting hearts right now, let's heal them. Healing yourself first.

We're going to talk about disconnecting and relaxing, taking some time for ourselves, because right now is such a crazy time in our world, and it doesn't seem to be settling down any time soon. And it feels like it is one thing right after another. And we go into a new month and we've got a new craziness, a new deadly bug, a new virus, a new whatever may come, and holy smokes, and people have really become disconnected from what they really need to be centered on. You need to be centered in yourself and screens have become an inescapable part of our lives. It's the biggest part. We spend more time on our phones and on our laptops. Maybe watching Netflix, especially during this quarantine. Oh, maybe have binge watched a new series on Netflix. So it's how we get our news, it's how we communicate with our friends and our family, and recently it's become nearly the only way that our kids can communicate with their friends. It's how they receive their education. Now, did you know that the average person, this will blow your mind, maybe not, I don't know, but the average person spends 10 hours a day in front of a screen. How many people do we hear say that they don't have time for certain things? They're too busy to work out, they don't have time to go for a walk with their kids or whatever. It might be, but those same people can be found on their phone or their laptop, they're replying to social media comments, maybe scrolling or just wasting time in front of a screen. So, disconnecting and unplugging, it's very healthy for you, and it's good for you. Listen in...

SHOW NOTES:

•  When you reside in the present things start to happen, connections are made, God puts the right people in our path. And if you're trying to move ahead of where you truly, are you miss what's supposed to be on your path, you miss your growth, you stunt your growth. So be okay with where you're at. If you have too many bills, you've lost your job, whatever it is, that might be where you are right now, but it doesn't mean that that's where you're going to stay. (05:09)

•  And when we're comparing ourselves to other people, we need to make sure that we remember that our path is our path. So your path isn't somebody else's path, and their path obviously isn't yours either, so don't compare yourself to anyone else because their path is different than yours. (8:03)

•  When I talk about winning, because I think just about every week on this podcast I talk about winning, winning in life. I was thinking about it, and I said, "You know what, when I talk about it, I'm not talking about the competition with others, I'm talking about competition with ourselves. (10:00)

•  Okay, so maybe you believe in a higher power, maybe it's not God himself, but there is a plan and you are not in control of the end plan, but you are in control of how you handle that which has been given to you. You are in total control of how you deal with the things that are brought to you, you are in control of staying on your own path. (11:14)

•   Every podcast that I record, every single week, I pray that it touches somebody. I pray that it falls on the ears of somebody that needs to hear this, that needs these words in their life. If that's you. I want to know, I want to know because I want to know that that happened to that one person, and if it's helpful to you. If you loved this, if it spoke to you, it's going to speak to somebody else because you're not alone. I want you to share it with somebody, tell somebody else about it. Here, I heard this today, I think it might help you out, and maybe we can spread that light all together. (13:03)

What I've been noticing lately, is a lot is competition with others, as far as where you're going and what you've been accomplishing. I feel it's so important for us to reflect on ourselves and where we're at, and reside in the present for ourselves because your day is coming. Every single podcast that I record, my goal is to touch one person, and open the floodgates for every person who hears it, who hears my words. And I also pray that this podcast is the one that people can't wait to share with everyone that they know. That's my goal. We've talked about this before, that I don't care if it's a million people or it's one person, I want to touch that one person's life where they can then use their light and light up other people. And I feel that that's really hard for us because if we don't know our relevance to others, sometimes we don't feel relevant to ourselves, we've all experienced it, whether you know it or not. Okay, let's talk about the podcast. If I don't know that I have touched somebody's life or made a difference in how they felt for that day, then I don't know that my words were relevant. My words mean something. I don't speak cheaply, I hope that makes sense I want my words to matter. I choose them carefully and I very much walk in faith each and every day, I'm so thankful for the blessings that I have in my life and I know that that creates a light in me and I can bring that to others. And the only way that I can really do that is through words. I want you to know that I want you to walk in faith, I want you to have faith that you are where you need to be. When you realize that you have the ability to walk and to be present, to be able to be present in the now.

SHOW NOTES:

•  The employer is looking for that connection to build a strong team, the stronger the connection they have with a person, the stronger their team becomes... And so they want more team members like that. How strong is a team where there's a lack of connection? It's not very strong. (04:17)

•  You have everything, you have a beautiful home, you have all these nice cars. Why would you even be interested in this? And do you know what his answer was to her? Time freedom. And his friends, his connections, the people who he had relationships with, all felt the same way. They have things, but what good are all of those things when you can't spend time with your family, and enjoy those things with your family? (8:41)

•  You don't know what's going on in their life. You don't know that that person who goes and works at a job every single day with a briefcase, they drive up in a high-end Mercedes and they seem to have it all. Maybe they're tired of going to that job every single day, maybe they're tired of putting in 12 to 14 hour days, maybe they're tired of not being able to take vacations, real vacations with their family, because they're constantly having to take phone calls. And if somebody says No, or turns you down, that's okay. (9:26)

•  Don't make up somebody's mind for them, because I'll tell you that some of my customers who have wanted to maybe, they didn't know enough about my product yet. But as they learned more about it, people's first reaction is, I can't afford it, or I don't have the money for that, I don't want to spend the money on that, but when they get to a point or they actually try it such as myself.

•  Find your tribe and build that tribe. The stronger your tribe, the stronger your business grows. And then nurture it. That's the time to nurture it, to grow it, to keep it healthy, to communicate, whether it be three Zooms or calls strengthening those connections, and then growing more and building more connections and teaching those connections to build more connections. And that's going to ensure your growth, and those who choose to continue the growth will duplicate that and bring more connections, and your tribe will be built. (12:40)

SHOW NOTES:

•  The employer is looking for that connection to build a strong team, the stronger the connection they have with a person, the stronger their team becomes... And so they want more team members like that. How strong is a team where there's a lack of connection? It's not very strong. (04:17)

•  You have everything, you have a beautiful home, you have all these nice cars. Why would you even be interested in this? And do you know what his answer was to her? Time freedom. And his friends, his connections, the people who he had relationships with, all felt the same way. They have things, but what good are all of those things when you can't spend time with your family, and enjoy those things with your family? (8:41)

•  You don't know what's going on in their life. You don't know that that person who goes and works at a job every single day with a briefcase, they drive up in a high-end Mercedes and they seem to have it all. Maybe they're tired of going to that job every single day, maybe they're tired of putting in 12 to 14 hour days, maybe they're tired of not being able to take vacations, real vacations with their family, because they're constantly having to take phone calls. And if somebody says No, or turns you down, that's okay. (9:26)

•  Don't make up somebody's mind for them, because I'll tell you that some of my customers who have wanted to maybe, they didn't know enough about my product yet. But as they learned more about it, people's first reaction is, I can't afford it, or I don't have the money for that, I don't want to spend the money on that, but when they get to a point or they actually try it such as myself. I remember I thought, "Oh my gosh, I will never go a day without this in my life, I need this, I have to afford it no, I can't afford it, I have to afford it. (10:26)

]]> 21-Connections and Building Your Tribe Kristina Sjolund 00:14:09 Welcome back to the Unleashed podcast, I'm your host Kristina Sjolund, and I want to thank you for taking the time to listen in today. If you are building any type of a business, whether it's a brick and mortar, online or network marketing, you need to have a tribe, you've gotta have a team of people, and that goes for whether they are business building people, to employees, or even customers. So today, that's what we're going to talk about, and I guarantee that by the end of this podcast, you are going to understand the importance of connection. So when you are connecting, you are building relationships. That's what we need to do in order to create a customer base, create a team of employees, or create a team of business builders, if you're in a network marketing company. Now when starting a business, how do you make it grow, by building connections through relationships. Those relationships and those connections strengthen as you build a trust. And then how do you build that trust? They have to know you. So who are you? How do companies build a trust with us? They put a person as their spokesperson, Flo from Progressive to or even the guy Kenny, 'Can You Hear Me Now'. That character, those people, the companies create those characters so that we relate, and it's sort of, in a weird way, builds a trust. Because we relate to those people, and the company knows that. If you relate to those people, then you'll go and shop at that company. And I'm not saying to hire someone, because that someone is you. People want to know you, they wanna know who you are, what do you do? Share those things. I find that when I share something that's more on the personal side, and it's something that I believe strongly in, it creates a lot of engagement and that also draws people to you. But it also draws people away from you. It pushes them away because sometimes they don't agree with you. So unfortunately that happens, but there will be a stronger engagement with the connection of those people who relate to you. Listen in...

•  This is something that I feel is really important, and I know that I talk about writing things down a lot, but if you saw all of my writing pads, my notebooks, my journals, if you saw all of these things laying around my house, they are everywhere because, I will have an idea that I've got to write down. (02:41)

• I want you to think of the person that you want to be. Okay? Not a mentor, not an idol or anything like that. I want you to picture the person that you want to be, your goal. Where you're at in your life, where you are the most successful. You know, you envision yourself, think of that person that you want to be and how would that person respond to the activity that you're about to do?  (4:37)

•  You should be whatever business that you're in. And whatever income producing activities that you should be doing on a daily basis are what you should be doing daily. And those things, with that consistency, is going to create your momentum. But if you are doing self-sabotaging things and you have self-sabotaging behavior, you're going to stunt your growth.  (6:27)

•  Maybe you're not doing the things that you should be doing, or maybe you're not being consistent about it. Consistency is key, so I want you to think about that. Would that person that you want to become, if that person wouldn't do something like that, you shouldn't be doing it.  (7:33)

•  I know if I have too much stuff everywhere, I start to get panicky. I guess I just don't like that feeling. So then I'll just, you know, I've got to go through and I've got to get rid of the clutter and it makes me feel better. It makes me feel more relaxed. This is something that you need to think about. So if your space that you're working in isn't motivating you, you've got to change it up.   (9:04)

On today's episode we're going to talk about laziness or self sabotage, and I promise by the end of this, you are going to be able to stop yourself from getting in your own way and you're going to take the steps to move forward. You're going to know how to get through the times that you feel like you're lazy, but you're really in your own way. Do you have big ideas or you know these visions or goals, but you find yourself getting sidetracked by the latest binge watch on Netflix, or you get caught up in the social media scrolling? Maybe you don't work out because you've got the treadmill sitting there, or the Peloton bike sitting there, staring at you. But you just get sidetracked. There's other things that you want to do, but what if I told you that it's not out of laziness? You're self sabotaging. Self sabotage is a form of unworthiness. It's not doing what you should be doing because you feel like you're not worthy of success. And at some point in your life, somebody made you feel that way. You know why? I don't know why they did that, but what I can be sure of is that it wasn't you. That's their issue, not yours. In the limits that they've put on themselves, they often put on others, you know, especially when they're talking to somebody with ambition. So why do we let those things get in our heads? Why do we think that we're not worthy of more? Why do we get in our way? Listen in to learn more...

•  Support? Let me tell you about lack of support. You're going to have to reach deep down inside. If you've got a spouse, or parents, or friends, or whoever, that don't necessarily support you in the journey that you're choosing, you've got to stand up to them. you have to say, "Hey look, this is what I'm going to do, you're either on board with me or you're not. (4:07)

•  Like Starbucks. The flagship store is about 25 minutes from my house. It started, so small and it was great coffee, and look at what it is now. Because somebody started this little coffee shop and it grew, and then it was taken over and now it's literally world-wide. (7:06)

Yeah, they have the time to be watching binge-watching Ozark or Tiger King or whatever the new Netflix series is. They've got the time to do that. They've got the time to be scrolling through Facebook or making memes or whatever it is that they're doing, that screen time. I call BS guys.

SHOW NOTES:

•  When it comes to this situation, this crisis that we're in, you can either conform to the situation, and these are all outside influences. You are like, if you're watching the news all day, or let's say you are still at work or whatever, if you are watching the news all the time, you have outside influences that are coming at you, let me just tell you, they are telling you what they want. (04:05)

•  When all this passes, I still want to have meals with my family at home, every night around the table. And we share our thoughts for the day. I know that I've talked to you about, you probably get sick of it, but my kids and I, we talk about three things that we're grateful for and I'm not going to lie, it's harder for them to come up with three to five things because they're inside. Well, they go outside and hang out on the trampoline, but they're not hanging out with their friends anymore, they're not having that physical interaction, with their friends, so they have to look a little bit harder, and you know what, that's okay. (6:14)

•  We start realizing what we can really survive on, because we are taking the things that are actually meaningful that give us, we're taking the things that are actually meaningful to us and we put value in the things that don't cost money. We find value in our families, we find value in board games with them, we find value in the laughter that we all hear when we're around that board game, we find value in the conversations that we're able to have. Now, maybe there's less stress from work, maybe you have a little bit of stress right now, because you're not at work, but that family comfort, because your family is where the stability is. (8:13)

•  When you start really gaining that stability within, you're going to have more trust in the outcome because we don't have control over the plan right? But, we can control how we navigate through it. And again, it sounds easy, but it's really not, your mind is powerful, it's very, very strong, but you have to change your mind from what you know and loosen that grip, if your grip is, you know, I can't do this, you've got to let go. (12:30)

•  You need to change that mindset, you need to change your mind from what you know, and you have to work hard at that positive feeling, at the positive talk, the positive thoughts you need to pour in to yourself and then you're going to attract, and then you're going to be the beacon of light that others need during this time.

We have been talking every week for the past few weeks about this crisis that we're in, because honestly, let's face it, this is life-changing. I don't care who you are. This is a disruption in our lives that we've not ever had to experience before. And so a lot of people have trouble navigating through it.

And it's time to pick up the oars and start taking charge of what's happening so that you can have some control out of how your outcome will be once we get through this. So what I have noticed with a lot of my friends, whether they be personal friends of mine, or their contacts on Facebook, on Twitter, social media, people have expectations. Okay, we all have expectations. We have expectations of how our lives are going to go. We have expectations of what everybody expects, they have expectations of how their life is going to play out. Now, what happens when something comes along and disrupts your expectations? You're like...Oh no, you didn't have a backup plan. Well, this was different than any other time, right?

And it's time to pick up the oars and start taking charge of what's happening so that you can have some control out of how your outcome will be once we get through this. So what I have noticed with a lot of my friends, whether they be personal friends of mine, or their contacts on Facebook, on Twitter, social media, people have expectations. Okay, we all have expectations. We have expectations of how our lives are going to go. We have expectations of what everybody expects, they have expectations of how their life is going to play out. Now, what happens when something comes along and disrupts your expectations? You're like...Oh no, you didn't have a backup plan. Well, this was different than any other time, right? But I can tell you this, that it all comes down to how you handle every single situation.

SHOW NOTES:

•  You need to make sure that you're seeing those affirmations, you need to put this stuff into effect, you need to put it into action. We talk about this, we've talked about this many times before, when you have a plan, you can go ahead and have a plan all day long, but if you don't put action into that plan, where are you gonna go? You're not gonna go anywhere, you can put a destination into your GPS, but you are not going to get there if you don't go, if you don't get moving, it's worthless.  (07:38)

•  I don't know what the weather's like, where you're at, but go out with there's birds chirping, wherever it's quiet, whatever makes you relax and feel at peace, that's where you need to do this. You need to take that quiet time and visualize, just sit there, take that time in take a deep breath, visualize what you want. And you know what that's gonna do? That's going to clear your mind, it's going to clear a path for that plan to come through. You're going to feel so much stronger, so much more grounded where you can visualize that as attainable, because everything is attainable.  (10:33)

•  It doesn't matter, network marketing, whatever it is, you need to make connections in order to make sales. I want you to reach out and start making connections, building the relationships with the people that are going to be part of your tribe, the people who are going to be part of that journey. That's going to get you to the goal, and guess what? They're gonna have goals as well, and you are part of it, you are part of their journey as well, so it's time to lock arms with your tribe and grow.  (12:07)

•  I felt a shift in myself that changed some things, that changed the way that I think about some things, and a few things that I've done online lately. I'm like, "Wait a minute, "why wouldn't I do that?" And I want you to do that self-audit, and see what's holding you back and break that mold.  (12:47)

•  That phrase that popped into my head that I had to write across my notes in this meeting, "I'm not here for the people who want me to fail, I'm here for the people who I want to win."  (13:25)

]]> 17-Breaking the Mold to Unleash the NEW Kristina Sjolund 00:15:25 Hello and welcome back to The Unleashed Podcast, I am your host Kristina Sjolund and I thank you for joining me today. Today I want to talk about raising your vibration, I want to talk to you about how you're showing up and how to show up in a brighter light, how to show up stronger, how to show up for yourself and make a difference. Because really, that's exactly what all of us are here for. We are here to make a difference. Whether it's for yourself, your family, your friends, your network. I want people to grow. As I was in a Mastermind session, something popped into my head and I feel like I need to make a graphic, and this needs to be across my Facebook banner. I'm not here for the people who want me to fail, I'm here for the people who I want to win. Don't ask where that voice came from. I was like, "Oh my gosh. Where did this come from? This is so loud in my brain and in my ears, and I thought, "Holy crap, I hold myself back”. If anybody knows me personally, you know, I will call myself out, I totally hold myself accountable. I will call myself out and I don't care who I call myself out in front of, I'll call myself on my own crap. okay, I know that I've got my own BS that I got to deal with, and really the only place that I don't show up, really is online. I am figuring it out, I haven't quite...I think I have a few more things to really tighten up, but I'm getting to the point, especially this past couple of weeks. I'm like, "Man why am I holding back? I can jump on my podcast, I completely…I unleash. I don't hold back my thoughts, my feelings, because if I hold back my thoughts and feelings, I hold back from you and that's not what I'm about. I don't hold back with my kids, I don't hold back with my friends, but when it comes to being online, I'm always worried about offending somebody because every fricking body is offended by everything. Oh my gosh, are you kidding me right now? It doesn't matter what you say, or people may twist your words. I had it happen to me, and I'm like, "You know what, I don't think I should really care about that anymore. I'm showing up, as we talked about in a mastermind session a couple of weeks ago, what is your flavor of ice cream? Not what your favorite flavor is, but how you show up, what kind of flavor do you have, what are you as a flavor? We show up as vanilla online, and I'm not vanilla, I'm like a cherry Jubilee man. I have so much to say. And those who know me, those who appreciate me, want to hear what I say, you are the same. But I hold back how I show up, so as not to offend people. Then I show up as vanilla, but who am I attracting the vanilla? I want extra flavors, for myself and probably many of you do too. We need to increase our vibration, we need to increase the vibration in our thoughts, we need to think bigger.

SHOW NOTES:

•  Maybe these uncertain times. You are lashing out at your loved ones, you're frustrated with your kids, or whatever. We'll guess what? The energy right now, we're at like a boiling point, if you will. And for some people, they're not going to be able to psychologically get themselves out of that and see the positive side of this, whatever is happening. (02:56)

•  Are you going to allow it to take over your world? Or are you going to take advantage of this time to create something you see? I choose to totally come out of this thing busting through some doors, and making my presence known. (03:35)

•  I talk to so many people all the time about opportunities, directions that they can go in their business. We put business plans together, and I was like, Oh my gosh, there's so many people who are at home right now, they have the time to be able to do some things now where they used to not have time, when they were going to their job every day. They're in their car, they've got their drive time in the morning, they've got their drive time in the evening, they're tired when they get home.(05:45)

•  When you can create something that is a solution for other people, and maybe these aren't big problems, but if I saw somebody say, Hey, I'm gonna be cooking this meal and if you wanna know how to cook this and bring this to the your family's table, I'm gonna be doing it on Tuesday night at 7 o'clock. Those who want to join, it'll take us about an hour. I'd be like, I'm in, I'm totally down with that and I'm gonna join, and I'm probably going to share it with some friends and family, I'll be like, "Hey I'm gonna do this class on Tuesday night. You guys in... Why not? (09:30)

•  These are things that are easy, that are simple, that you can do. I mean, you can own this situation; grocery store runs for people in your community. Maybe they're scared to go to the grocery store, but you're not... Maybe they don't have a mask and you do. Five bucks, you know what, even in a non-pandemic if you're willing to do a grocery store run for me for five or 10 bucks, I am totally down with that. (12:19)

And I have to tell you that I had to go for a little drive before I recorded this so I could bring myself down a couple notches, because I know that if you come into something at a level of fire that people aren't ready for you're going to lose them, and I don't want to lose you. But today, I'm so excited that I can hardly even contain myself. I would imagine that everyone knows that we're in a shift, we're in a shift in our world that we've never ever, ever seen before. Right? You're probably feeling it. We're in a time of uncertainty, but like we talked about last week, you've got control over how you handle the situation. And today, through this whole thing, I've had this level of excitement that I'm like, "Oh my gosh, I cannot wait to see the outcome of this, I can't wait to see what happens in this because I love to see opportunity in everything, and I don't know how to explain it, it's just everywhere I look. I try to see where is this going? To take me, what can this do to help people, what kind of opportunity is in this moment? That's what I look for all the time. I'm looking to see growth everywhere I am, everywhere I go. I want to see growth. So in this time in history, because let's just face it, let's call a spade a spade, this is history in the making, they're going to have history books, not just a chapter. This is going to be an entire book in and of itself. And it could have sequel. I'm just saying... So for myself, I feel this level of excitement and sometimes I feel bad. I have to bring my level of excitement down a little bit because I know that there are people around me who are really nervous and they're really scared, and there's a psychological block that I feel a lot of people have in their mind and they've got to break down that barrier. They have to break down the barrier and see they are made for something more. Listen in...

SHOW NOTES:

•  So when I talk to you about dealing with these situations and looking at the positive part, you know me, I talk about gratitude. I talk about gratitude and your goals that you set all the time, and it's so important, and right now is probably the most important time for you. If you have not started it it's time to start it now.  (06:49)

•  I want you to write down five things that you're grateful for, and it could be anything you could be grateful for. Hey, especially right now. If your family is healthy, you better be writing that down, that you're grateful that your family is healthy, be grateful. That today was a beautiful day. When we sat down at the dinner table and we were talking about the things that we were grateful for, both of my girls, Danica and Whitney, both said I'm thankful that today was a beautiful day.  (08:31)

•  You know me and my lists, if you've listened to me for any amount of time, you know I'm a list person. These goals start to make you feel that sense of accomplishment. Oh my gosh, even me, I work from home, I've been home for the last couple of years, three years, I don't know how long. I work from home and now that my kids are home, it throws off my schedule, if you will. So I have to make sure that I really set myself time aside to be able to focus on them and help them with their school work, but I also have to set aside time for my own work, so I have to keep a schedule for myself.  (11:23)

•  This is a time where I want to take advantage, being able to strengthen, even though we already have a really strong relationship, I want to make sure that this situation brings us together. So it already has that negative tone to it. It's a pandemic, people or sick, people have died, their school, everything is up-ended. It's already got a negative undertone. I'd love to bring whatever positivity that I can do it.  (13:33)

•  I'm going to be putting together an accountability group, where we're going to be doing a consistency challenge, and we're going do this for 10 days straight. It doesn't matter if it's going to be in your business, or maybe in your home life, but somewhere where you need to be adding consistency and being able to do this every day. Maybe this group is just what you need.  (15:33)

I wanna thank you for joining me and for taking a few minutes out of your day, to hopefully get a little bit of inspiration in these times of uncertainty. And I think that probably everybody who is listening is affected by what's going on in the world right now. We have some craziness. We've talked about this before a couple of weeks ago, we talked about being the calm in the storm, and you know the more that I am on social media, and with my friends that I talk to, the more I've realized that not everybody really knows how to be that calm yet. There's too much uncertainty. There's family members, everybody's in their homes together all the time, and sometimes it's not that fantastic. We just got the notice today that the kids are not gonna go back to school for the rest of the year. That's a heart-breaking. In fact, I had a little shed of some tears because my daughter's in eighth grade, and this is her last year of being at her school that she's been at since 4th grade. They're not going to have their eighth grade graduation. They had to cancel their mission trip to Costa Rica. They are cancelling graduation. They have an outdoor education trip, that they go on, they have an end of the year party, they've got all of this stuff and what makes me a little bit emotional, these kids don't get to experience that this year, and now next year, they'll go straight into high school, and I know some of them will not be able to see any of those friends that they've grown up with. Maybe you have a senior in high school where there's no prom. Maybe they're trying to get into college on a scholarship and they're not able to play their last year of baseball or softball or track or whatever it is. I'm telling you, it's heartbreaking and in these times there's something that you can be certain of, and it's how you handle the situation at hand, it is going to determine how strong you come out of it. So what are you going to do with the time that you have at home right now, and what are you doing with it as far as your family goes? What are you doing with that time as far as your business goes? If you're a business owner, how you handle this now is going to determine how strong you come out of this, the growth that happens afterwards. And how you handle the situation in front of your family, with your family, is going to determine how they get through this as well. Here we deal with things as they come. Listen in...

They have an outdoor education trip, that they go on, they have an end of the year party, they've got all of this stuff and what makes me a little bit emotional, these kids don't get to experience that this year, and now next year, they'll go straight into high school, and I know some of them will not be able to see any of those friends that they've grown up with. Maybe you have a senior in high school where there's no prom. Maybe they're trying to get into college on a scholarship and they're not able to play their last year of baseball or softball or track or whatever it is. I'm telling you, it's heartbreaking and in these times there's something that you can be certain of, and it's how you handle the situation at hand, it is going to determine how strong you come out of it. So what are you going to do with the time that you have at home right now, and what are you doing with it as far as your family goes? What are you doing with that time as far as your business goes? If you're a business owner, how you handle this now is going to determine how strong you come out of this, the growth that happens afterwards. And how you handle the situation in front of your family, with your family, is going to determine how they get through this as well. Here we deal with things as they come.

SHOW NOTES:

•  I remember how my heart just sank. See, up until this point in my life, my mom had already been married four times, and there was actually boyfriends in-between. So for me, for the first 12 years in my life, things were always changing, getting used to new father figures, getting use to new schools, we moved over 20 times up to those point in my life. (02:54)

•  So on the most challenging day of my life, also came the greatest miracle of my life and for me honestly, truly, one of the case things that's ever happened to me is that the man who picked me up from school asked me to be his son, and so crazy enough, I went from being this wild and crazy kid to all of a sudden this wild and crazy pastor's kid, just like that. (06:57)

•  I didn't believe that kind of stuff at the time or seen a junior high in high school I was fine, see all it was, I compartmentalized all my pain, all my anger or my resentment, and I put in this tiny little box and put it in the very back of my mind. (11:38)

•  See, the thing was, is when my soul was when I got rid of the bitterness and the unforgiveness, and the resentment I had no idea that there would now be room for more love, more productivity, more focus or creativity more grace for myself, and others. More peace. You can't put a price on peace if that's all you've got. With more peace, it would be worth it. (18:21)

• And I felt peace and I felt strength, but it's what I believe God told me next that changed my life, forever. And it continued. And he said, Dean, I love Bob because I love Bob and there's nothing that Bob can do that can make me love him more and there's nothing that Bob can do that can make me love him less. I'm also with him, and I've also got his back and all of a sudden I remembered all the little lessons when you're in Sunday school. (24:26)

•  I know that when I go outside and I start to work in my flower beds. I can't tell you how grounded I feel. I feel so in touch and I feel peace. I love that feeling. So if that's what it is for you, do that. If music is your place where you get back to the core of you do that. If it's reading, do it, whatever it is that makes you take care of yourself feel better.  03:54)

•  Maybe you're a healthcare worker, do something good for someone else but at a distance. Okay, maybe just send a note and say hi. Maybe send a text message or a chat message through Facebook or Instagram, do something nice that makes somebody else feel good.  (06:46)

• Because our kids are watching, our kids are watching how we handle stressful situations. If we handle it with grace and ease, they're going to be able to learn how to handle the really tough things in life with grace and ease. They're going to learn how to not get spun up and go sideways in a stressful situation, be that example and know that everything's going to be just fine. (10:19)

•  Let them know. Know that they mean something to you. But when you post on social media the things that you're thankful for, do you know that that spreads positive light you have to be the light, and you're going to shine a light on somebody else's life. (11:59)

• It's all going to be just fine. But when you have that goal in place and you are working towards that goal, you don't put it on hold you just keep on going for it. You're going to be one of the first out of the gate, and I can promise you that you're not going to regret the feeling of being consistent and never ever stopping that is going to be so incredibly rewarding for you. 14:43)

We are in some pretty testing times in our lifetime, aren't we? We are going through something, that I'm pretty sure most of us have never experienced before. It is very different. Sometimes for some people it's hard to function. It's hard to find your way. It's hard to be grounded. It's hard to for a lot of you out there. Maybe you're used to being away from your home working. Maybe you're a hiker, biker, camper, doing things outside of the home all the time, so being in your home right now, you are a little on the crazy side. So, I wanted to put together some things that will hopefully help people get through this. Right now, there's several people who are in the middle of a shelter-in-place order. There's a lot of people who maybe have that compromised immune system. Or somebody in your home has that compromised immune system, and you can't go out because of the fear of bringing something back in. I really wanted to share some ideas with you to be able to get through this in a positive and productive manner, and I feel that some of the things that I have here today, that I'll be sharing with you, are going to be helpful.

•  We're faced with a challenge right now and how we handle this is going to determine the end result. Okay? Not the big end result as far as an entire country or world or however you want to say it, but personally, how this is going to the end result for you personally, how are you going to handle this?  (03:47)

•  This is a situation that we've been handled and we're going to handle it. We're going to take it as it comes and we're going to turn this challenge into a win.  (04:50)

•  What we've talked about before so many times, is that challenges bring growth, and you've got options. You either panic and let that fear take control or you stay calm and control what you can. (05:48)

•  How they can capitalize on that vision that they have, and that passion. Why wouldn't you do that? Because not only is it helping you, but it's helping somebody else's well, because you've got a solution to their problem.  (09:39)

•  You know, just like the sailboat. Do you know if that sailboat is in the middle of a storm, you have to adjust its sales in the wind so that you can get to where you need to go?

We're in pretty uncertain times, aren't we? This is crazy, right? Well, what I wanted to cover today, it's really been weighing on my heart lately because I see so much fear and I see panic, and man, what's up with the toilet paper guys? Everybody's gonna react differently. But what I really wanted to reach out to my people and say is, be the calm in the storm. All right? What I mean by that is, I'm such a visual person, and I think of things being like, okay, you're in a burning building and you need to know which direction to go. And there's somebody who's panicking and freaking out and flailing. Or if there's somebody who's cool, calm, and collected, maybe they don't know exactly where they're going to go, but you can tell that that person is calm enough where they're not going to get rattled. They're gonna probably lead you or maybe create a team and find a way out. You need to be that calm, cool and collected person because you've got people watching you. Do you have kids? Those kids are watching you. I want to share with you my daughter's reaction. I picked my kids up from school the other day and through this whole ordeal, you know, this whole Coronavirus thing, I picked my kids up from school because our governor closed schools for six weeks. There's a lot of people freaking out about that and through this whole thing, I've told my kids, just relax. Make sure you're washing your hands. Don't be touching your face, use a napkin or your sleeve or something to open up doors, don't be sharing drinks with anybody. So I just kept telling them, just don't worry about it.

Today I promise, that by the end of this podcast, your going to have a better understanding of what you need to focus on in your life. This is going to be different then most of the other ones that I have done, let me share with you the inspiration of where this podcast came from. So in the past week, like I told you before, I get so many messages every week from many of you listeners, you've sent me these messages, that sometimes bring these tears to my eyes. I'm like, Oh my gosh, I have to look up because if I don't, these tears are going to drip down my face. The messages are amazing, of how they have touched you in some way, but two in particular this past week, and you'll both know who you are when you're listening to this. So, this friend of mine, she's a teacher, she brought my podcast to her students, she was telling me about these students and how they were stressed out because it's the end of the trimester and they've got their tests, and you know the anxiety of all of this. And I remember as a student, I know it was a really long time ago, but I remember as a student all of that stress, and I also have two young girls at home who they experience stress as well. Then I got another message from another friend of mine saying how she wants her daughter to be listening to this podcast, and she's I think about 13 years old, 14 maybe. And she says she wants her daughter to listen to it because she thinks that it would help her. Listen, I'm going to share her story at the end.

I am so blessed to have you as part of my audience today. I feel like you're going to have to be wearing your big girl, or big boy, panties today. I'm going to talk about, well, to put it blunt, stop whining and start winning. So what makes us, what builds our character? What causes us to grow? Well, you know what kind of things make us better people? What makes us want more? What creates the kind of person that we are? Challenges. Things that happen in our lives, things that happen to us. We learn how to deal with these things. We learn how to get past these things. This is what makes us grow. How many times did you come across struggles growing up, whether it be through your elementary years or your teenage years? What kind of crap got handed to you and what did you do with it? Did you sit there, lay down and take the loss and wallow in your sorrows? Most likely, if you're listening to this podcast, the answer is going to be no. You didn't sit there and let the crap happen and just not take it as a growing opportunity, not take it as some way to move forward in your life. So challenges, adversity, struggles, whatever you want to call it. If you sit there and accept that crap, that's all you're going to have. So why would you want to settle for that? Especially when you're made for so much better. You deserve so much more. So take your challenge and that's exactly what it is, it's a challenge. Take it and turn it into a win.

It's a risk, and maybe she's not going to start out selling a whole bunch of pies, but she's taking that risk because she's got kids to feed, she's got bills to pay and she's behind. So she creates that. She tells all of her friends, she tells her friends to tell their friends and she sells a bunch of pies.  (04:50)

•  So you see entrepreneurs, we write down our goals on paper, we write it on mirrors, on vision boards, we write affirmations on post-its, on the bathroom mirror.

When I talk to people about this, nearly 85% of the comments and the responses that I get all fall under this category, doing what you don't want to do. It's the hard part. It's the stuff that really sucks. It's that hard work. But as entrepreneurs, we know what we want, we know the outcome that we want, right? And we're going to do whatever it takes to get that outcome. Well, I don't know about you. I'm very results driven. I don't change my course very often. I definitely don't change my goal, my vision, whatever it is. I do whatever it takes to get there. I don't quit on it. We stay on course, we don't change that just because something's hard, because when you change, it's still going to take hard work. It's still going to take the same kind of work and the same kinds of things that you don't want to do to make it happen. But we might be afraid of the reactions of other people. We might be afraid of the negative remarks. There's haters out there. There's haters everywhere, and I think I've come to the conclusion that people on social media, you know, that don't have anything else to do with their lives, they just really are looking for something to complain about. They don't really want all of the peaceful rainbows and unicorns that they say that they want because they're going to seek out something that they don't like about somebody. They're going to seek out something that somebody's doing and they're going to try to take those people down. So make sure that you rise above that. Whatever you do, it's going to be a gamble and gambling takes risks, right? That's what it's all about. You are an entrepreneur who are going to take risks.

And they changed the subject 180 degrees, and they start talking to you about somebody that you don't even know? That's what I used to experience. Now, I just don't even share my ideas with those people that are in my life anymore. Entrepreneurship, yeah. It can be a lonely place if you don't find your community. It's kind of like being in a foreign country. I'm talking about before you find your community. It's sort of like being in a foreign country and not knowing the language. Like you can't communicate. There's a language barrier and then you kind of, you're walking along and you find this bar. You go into the bar and all of the patrons speak your language. You don't even want to leave because they get you. Like everyone's having a great time. They're hooping it up. Sharing their ideas, like attracts like.

]]> 05-That Dreaded F Word Kristina Sjolund 00:17:26 Hello and welcome back to the unleashed podcast. I'm your host, Kristina Sjolund. Today we're talking about the F word. The F word. How many came here thinking, Oh my gosh, is she going to say it? Fear. It's a different one. It's a different one, but it's just as bad. It's just as negative. It's just as bad. It's so negative. It's terrible, it holds us back. Everyone has experienced it. Everybody still experiences it probably every day, to a certain extent. Now what I ask is, when you were little, were you afraid? Were you afraid to walk? No. You just did it. You were learning. How many times did you fall down? You don't know because it didn't matter. It never held you back. You didn't care about falling. That was a form of failing, but it never held you back. It never stopped you from walking. You always got right back up and you kept at it and you never gave up. And then once you learned how to walk, you learn how to run. How many times did you bite it? How many times did you fall flat on your face? You don't know exactly. Your goal was just to run. So let's talk truth. We all have fears, but it's how you face it that makes all of the difference. So for some it's public speaking. There's failure and some people are scared of success. Like, what is that about? Maybe they're scared of success because they're scared of it reaching a level of success and then losing it. Who knows? Yup. They're scared of loss. What you should be afraid of is not growing. It's not moving forward in your life right now. If you're an entrepreneur, this is something that's very familiar to you. You see opportunity everywhere you go, but maybe your fears hold you back from it. Do you know what I was scared of? I was so scared of doing this podcast. It was my first one that I recorded. Do you know how bad I was sweating? And nobody was even on, because I was recording it. I didn't do anything live. I was so scared. Why? Do you know how many times a day I talk to people? Do you know how many times a day I work with people, whether it is helping them out in their business, growing their business? Today I worked with somebody building her business plan for 2020. Why would I be afraid of that? Okay, we're all afraid of something, and what we have to do is, we just have to push through it. Hello and welcome back to the unleashed podcast.

]]> 04-Who REALLY Deserves Success? Kristina Sjolund 00:13:29 Hello and welcome back to the Unleashed Podcast. I'm your host, Kristina Sjolund and I am really excited to share something with you today. Well, I'm always excited to share things, but there's something that really took a huge effect on the way that I ran my business quite some time ago. I think it's going on two years, and I think about it almost on the daily. And I thought, you know what, somebody out there needs this, somebody needs to hear this because if it affects you the way that it did me, it's going to push you forward and push you harder. And when I'm coaching somebody privately or in a group, I do this a little bit differently because I typically have you write this down and I typically would have you take the time to write it out, get the feeling into it, you know, like really, really, really get into it. And today, because we're doing this in the podcast, we're going to do it a little bit different. This is why I'm starting out with this, instead of like doing it at the very end. So here's what I want you to do, guys. I want you to think about that person who you feel deserves success the most. Who in your life deserves success the most? Who do you want to succeed more than anything? Probably your kids. Maybe you feel that way about your parent or your spouse. I want you to think about that. I want you to think of all of the things that you want for them. Now, think about that success for you. We were created for more. We need to be more. Every person has some kind of success brewing inside them. Hello and welcome back to the Unleashed Podcast. I'm your host, Kristina Sjolund and I am really excited to share something with you today.

• Every day you set new goals and every day you get to start over. It's a new opportunity to start over to make those goals attainable, to be able to start a path to where you want to be. (05:15)
• I'm always investing in learning more. I'm always on a personal growth journey, constantly. Personal relationship building, personal growth. Those are all these things that you need to keep. (8:09)

• Maybe it's the slightest of insecurities, but somebody said something to you that made you not so sure of yourself. So it's something you have to start forgiving, because whatever was said to you wasn't about you. What was said to you was them projecting their limitations or their negative thoughts of themselves. They were projecting those onto you. (19:11)

]]> 03-2020 Vision Clarity Kristina Sjolund 00:27:36 Hey there and welcome back to the Unleashed Podcast. I'm your host, Kristina Sjolund, and today we're going to be talking about clear vision, because you know why, we are in a new decade! It is 2020, and I want to talk to you about what that really means. Clarity, clarity in what you want to go for. We've talked before about vision boards. We've talked about setting your goals, we've talked about organization. These things are tools that help you see clearly. And I want to share with you this quote, and honestly I can't remember where I got this quote from, but it speaks so much volume, "Clarity is momentum that has no resistance". Think about that. Immediately my mind goes to, I'm a very visual person so when somebody explains something to me, I start picturing it. And if I don't understand something, I need to see it in front of me so that I can make sense of it. When I saw this, I was like, Oh my gosh, because it makes me think of murky waters, of you jump in a Lake that is, you know, it's definitely not the ocean. In the clear Caribbean ocean where you can see all the way down to the bottom, but it's that murky water. You can't see where you're going. So it's going to take a while. You're not very comfortable with it. You're not quite sure where to step may, I dunno what's in there, I don't know what you know, you can't see. So that clarity, you create a momentum with that and you can move forward through anything. You're in that clear turquoise water that you can see straight through. You can see the fish below, you can see your feet in the sand in there and you don't have to worry about not knowing what you're going to step on. You don't have to worry what's lurking below that water. Well, maybe you should have to worry about what's below the water, if you're not paying attention. Okay. You know what I'm saying? It's that clarity. You can move, you can move faster than what you're going to move if you're in that murky, muddy water, right? So you can create a momentum and it has no resistance because there's nothing holding you back. When you have your eye on the prize and you have your clear path forward, you've got your all made out, you're on it. So what I have learned with the different mentors and trainings that I have taken, I'll set three goals and I choose the who, when, why, what, and how...how I'm going to reach those goals. And so that's my clear path. And so I have that clear vision. I've mapped it out. Hey there and welcome back to the Unleashed Podcast.

•If you get caught up in doing the things that don't move you forward, and that really just holds you back because they don't do anything for your business, then your business and your life, neither are going to move forward and create the new you that you want to create. (02:01)
• You're going to have to do things, and you're going to have to do them for a long time until those neuro-pathways change,  causing you to want to do new things and get rid of those bad things.  (3:30)
• You've got to do those things on a daily basis. You've got to show up consistently. If you consistently do something for 45 days straight, even 30 days straight, you're going to create a new habit. (5:30)
• If I'm not doing those things, then I'm not moving forward. I'm not moving forward in my business,  I'm not moving forward in my life. I'm not showing my kids how to be productive. (08:00)
• Stop falling into the traps that keep you from moving forward and don't feel the need to prove things to people.

When you start thinking that, does it make you roll your eyes? Does it make you excited? I want you to really think about that for a second because that is something that so many people get caught up in the words of it, but they don't get caught up in any action to change it. So like I said, it sounds really great, but it's not as easy as it sounds, because if you don't change the habits that you had in the previous year that didn't move you forward, then how are those same habits going to move you forward in the New Year?

•So if you're an entrepreneur, you probably feel like you think differently than most of your friends, right? Well, we're wired differently. Ultimately, personal mastery is understanding how you think, why you do the things that you do and why you do them, the way that you do. (03:19)
• We see opportunity everywhere we see them. We see opportunity in so many things that others don't. Why do you think so many people look down on network marketing? Network marketing is an easy way for people to have successful businesses with little or no investment other than time and or product. (5:34)
• I set my goals and I got to be clear in my goals. And you've got to write your goals down. You've got to be able to see them, create a vision board, involve your family, do family vision boards so that you can create a goal oriented household. (7:46)
• Make sure that your goals are attainable. So what I mean by that is, I have short term goals, which are a one to three month goals medium, which is about six to nine months, one year and five years. Let's face it, if you have this huge goal to reach, but you don't have smaller ones in between, you're going to feel like it's never going to happen. (10:45)
• But when you take out the doubt and you take the emotions out of everything, you're going to have a blank slate where you're going to be able to create your roadmap and write down your productive activities and what you're willing to commit to. And there is your roadmap to your vision. (12:52)

]]> 01-Unleashing Personal Mastery Kristina Sjolund 00:19:29 Welcome to the Unleashed podcast. If you're looking for a no BS approach to building a successful business, then this show's for you. I'm your host,Kristina Sjolund, sharing an unleashed, real straight talk approach to life and business. So buckle up, put on your big girl panties and let's get started. So I've got a question. Have you ever had an idea that you just wanted to share with everyone? You were so excited about it that you could hardly even stand it or maybe you just knew that you had something special that could help other people advance, but you just didn't know how you could get it out there to anyone and everyone who needed it? Yeah, well that was me. I had a lot of friends telling me that I needed my own podcast. Other people told me that I should be a standup comic, but, no thanks. I don't think that I could be funny, like on the drop of a dime. So although humor is definitely gotten me through a lot of the crazy crap that happens in business, and the absolute insanity that can happen in life in general. I had a mentor who I now call a friend, said something that struck me. She said, Kristina, you have a unique way of handling life and different things that are thrown at you. I've not seen anyone handle it the way that you do. It's awesome. And I think you need to share that with others. So here I am sharing with you real life, real strategy, really handling what life and business throw at you so that you can win. Because let's face it, winning is best and it never ever gets old. And that growth and those wins are the path to personal mastery. Welcome to the Unleashed podcast. If you're looking for a no BS approach to building a successful business, then this show's for you.
