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

How To Maximize Your Website Launch

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

A 6-Figure Client from Their Website
In this episode, Kristin shares a major client success story (a 6-figure client booking!) and highlights the key takeaways we can all learn from this big win. She emphasizes that a website is like a storefront and digital business card in the online space, and even if most of your business comes from referrals, people will still look you up. Kristin also discusses the benefits of using website templates instead of custom websites, explaining that templates can be customized to fit your branding and messaging. She then outlines key elements of a successful website, including clear messaging, legibility, and a professional vibe. Finally, Kristin reminds listeners that building a business takes time and that each client can contribute to its growth.

Other People's Opinions About Your Dreams & Goals

Other People's Opinions About Your Dreams & Goals
During Christmas time in the midst of a conversation with a family friend, I mentioned how I wanted to work the same amount of time I work now and make WAYYYY more money. She laughed a little like as if wanting to say "well, wouldn't that be nice!". Her reaction to this was like I was a bit crazy and it's not possible. Then I gave her real life examples of people creating exponential quantum leap type growth in their business. Women I follow in the online space tripling their business's income in a year. Women making multi-millions of dollars working part time hours with their kids. I could see her mind starting to open up and shift a little bit more. It can be easy sometimes to buy into other people's opinions about what we want to with our life. I'm sure you've been there at some point where you open up to someone about an idea or goal you have: whether it be creating a new business, switching careers, making more money, working while raising kids, travel dreams, lifestyle dreams. And their reaction or comments about what you've shared creates a bit of doubt or deflation in you. When this happens we can sometimes second guess ourselves, lower our dreams and expectations, or feel a bit frozen in indecision. Sometimes people sit for so long on big ideas or changes because of the doubt that was instilled in them from others. First I want you to remember - no one else can actually do this to you. No one else actually has the power to make you doubt yourself, to feel deflated, or to make you second guess yourself. We are in control of taking outside information in (other people's opinions) - and deciding what we want to do this that information. And so in this episode I want to share a few useful perspectives on how we can approach receiving opinions from other people about our goals and dreams that are not in our favor.

Create Goals that Really Stick
Welcome to a brand new year! It's that time when many set new intentions/goals for the year, and get excited about what's to come. As I've been going through my own goal setting and future visioning process for this year, I've felt called to share more of how I'm approaching this with you all. The traditional way people approach setting their goals for the year would be to write down a list of what you want to achieve for the year (however long or short). This is typically a simple and to the point list of changes you'd like to make, and what you'd like for your life to look like in the future. Listen to the full episode to check out the tips for working with your unconscious mind with goal setting. If you want to learn more about how to actually implement this for yourself.... Join me for the Aligned Goal Activation Workshop! After going through my own goal activation process, I've been feeling pulled to share this with you in a very practical and actionable way! Here's what this workshop will look! DAY 1: Chose your aligned goal(s) for this year DAY 2: Write a detailed visualization of your goals incorporating subconscious language (using NLP - bringing in all 5 senses) DAY 3: Create your Vision Board - templates for phone background, printable, & laptop background DAY 4: Have a plan for what to do next moving forward Sign up for this LIVE workshop here: https://checkout.kristinrichards.co/aligned-goal-workshop-live/

What it Actually Means to "Act as Your Future Self"
12/19/2023
What it Actually Means to "Act as Your Future Self"
The phrase "acting as your future self" is used often in the personal development space and is a key part of manifesting our goals and dreams. In manifestation "like attracts like" - so the more we show up as that future version of our self NOW, the faster we will see that dream show up in our reality. Seems pretty simple, but I see a lot of misconception about this happening. And so as we are about to close one year and enter into a brand new year, with new goals and visions for our life, I thought it would be a great time to dive deeper into this. First of all - when we say "like attracts like" - how this REALLY works with manifestation is your beliefs and self image (how you see yourself) attract situations with the same beliefs and vibration of that self image. It's less about what you are DOING - and more about who you are BEING. What are your beliefs? What are your attitudes toward things? What do you assume to be true? What are you emotions/thoughts/feelings about something? How do you see yourself? You can be taking all the actions "acting as if" - but if the underlying belief systems don't match up with whatever it is you're manifesting - it will either not come, or when it does come you will subconsciously push it away. This is when self sabotage starts to take place. Someone beliefs don't match up to whatever it is they've received (money, success, peace, love, etc) - so even if they "want" that thing so badly - if their inner beliefs aren't aligned they will sabotage the situation. This may look like spending all the $ they've received, starting fights in a relationship, creating more chaos in their life, etc. The first step here is to dive into your BELIEFS surrounding whatever your goal is - and then we can get into the "acting as if" actions part of the process.

Misconceptions About Working with a Designer
12/06/2023
Misconceptions About Working with a Designer
#1: You can get started designing right away. - Most designers are booking a certain amount of time in advance, there is usually a waiting period to get on their calendar. - There is also prep work needed before being able to get started anyways, so this wait time comes in handy. - The prep work may include: brand design, copywriting, finalizing your programs or business concept, collecting materials, photoshoots. #2: A designer provides the writing for the website for you. - This is a totally different skillset! It's like going to an apple tree expecting to pick apples AND oranges. - Unless the design agency has an in-house copywriter, the client is expected to provide the writing for their website. - You can choose to write this yourself, or hire a copywriter. - This is the biggest pieces of the prep work, BEFORE you begin designing, and why the wait period to get started is really helpful. #3: You should wait until you have everything together to find a designer. - Because there typically is a waiting period to get on a designer's calendar, if you want until you have EVERYTHING ready to contact a designer - you are going to be waiting even longer to launch your website. - It's best to get in touch with a designer when you're in the earlier planning stages. - Having this conversation will also have you more easily prepare what's needed for the project. #4: The designer handles everything and you can have almost no involvement. - It is 100% true that hiring a designer WILL save you tons of time/energy since they are doing a lot of the heavy lifting for you. - BUT - you are needed as an active participant in your project to create a successful result and launch. - Beyond the prep work period, once the project begins the clients is needed for revision feedback and any missing items needed to complete the project. - The biggest project staller will be a client who doesn't create the time to be present and involved in their project. #5: Providing feedback when you don't like something is a "bad" thing - Our #1 goal is for you to LOVE your brand and website! - We are here to do whatever we can to help accomplish that, so we WANT to know what you honestly think - Revisions is part of the process - Sometimes things flow easily with minimal feedback, and other times it might take a little bit more to get to that desired end result - We want to better understand your taste, so we can make whatever adjustments we need to create your vision

3 Easy Ways to Make Your Brand Appear More High-End
Imagine you're meeting your blind date for the first time. You haven't spoken to them before, seen them before - this is the first moment you're having any kind of interaction with them. Before you begin speaking, you take in their appearance. Their face, their build, hair, clothes, how they carry themself, if they make eye contact, their small mannerisms as they approach you. These first few quick moments are creating an immediate reaction in your body and how you interpret them. You may feel yourself lean in more, perk up with interest, smile, get the warm tingleys because you are liking what you're seeing!! You may on the other hand feel some hesitation, slightly cringe, doubt, draw back, feel some sort of level of disappointment. Now as we know, looks aren't everything! You may find even if you weren't attracted to their appearance initially, their personality has changed that for you and you see them in a new light. They become more attractive to you overtime. But you needed to stick around long enough to allow that to develop. Now, why am I telling you about dating when we're talking about high end brands here?! First impressions matter, and they happen within seconds. And in the online space, oftentimes people aren't sticking around longer to learn more about if they are less than impressed with that first impression. So we want to make those first seconds count. If you want your brand to be perceived as a high-end brand (therefore attracting clients who are ready to invest at a higher price point for your offers), there are a few easy ways you can create that first impression.

Going Slower & Deeper in Business
Over the past few months I've been in a slower phase personally in my business due to our big move and sorting out our childcare schedule. And while I haven't been outwardly producing a lot (though my team has been killing it on the design side!) - I've been really going inward and digesting so much. Slowing down in life and busineess allows you to go deeper vs. going fast and spreading yourself wider. In the process of spreading ourself wider, if we don't have our roots in deep to begin with we could end up over worked, spread too thin, and burnt out. Ive been reflecting on things like: What my company's values are and why we're here How we can better live our company values - which translates into What the future looks like for both Girlboss Designer & my coaching business In this episode I go into detail about all of the above and why I am so fired up about what's to come for the future of both companies (design business and coaching business) One of the people in the online space I've really been diving into hard these past few months that I talk about in this episode is Andrea Crowder, she has a brand called the Unruley Entrepreneur. Her approach to business and her focus on working with your subconscious has really been resonated deeply with me and I've been soaking it all up!

Creating Alignment as a Mom
I almost named this episode Finding Alignment as a Mom, and quickly changed it to Creating Alignment because let's be real - we rarely just "find" time to put ourselves first these days! I find it funny when people say "I just don't remember what like was like before having my child! I can't imagine life without them!". And I'm like, O I remember. And as much as I love being a mom and my son - that life was pretty damn good too! Gone are the days of naturally waking up, going about your morning as slow as you'd like, spending whatever time you need to get into a really good feeling place before beginning your workday. Beyond any scheduled calls, I used to flow throughout the morning and day, and create a schedule that best suited me. Maybe I'd throw in a meditation and journaling session before emails, or go get my nails done or a massage in the middle of a weekday. I let my intuition guide me and had so much freedom. I used share all the time about prioritizing your self care and your energy before others so you can show up as your best self. Then, I became a mom. I'll share a few ways I've found helpful when creating more time for YOU - to do the things that light you up and bring more alignment into your life in this episode!

How I've Changed

How I've Changed
Next week I'll be getting on a plane to move back to the States after living in Australia for almost 6 years. Whenever we have these big life changes where we're beginning a new chapter, it's fun to look back and notice how we've changed over the years. I moved here in my late 20's with just 4 suitcases that held my life, and a little bit of freelance design work to pay for the bare essentials. I'll be returning as a wife, a mother, a design agency owner. But so much more has changed beyond the titles and what's on the surface. That's what I want to share with you guys in today's episode. Growing a business also becomes a huge crash course in personal development. It requires you to expand yourself and get our of your comfort zone in ways you may not have otherwise done. Since launching/growing Girlboss Designer, I've gone further and further into the world of self development - much more than I had ever done when I had a "job". When I look back over my time here in AU, I've done SO MUCH development! From the more practical side with business and strategy programs - to the deeper internal work with mindset, subconscious work, deep healing and manifestation. Working on myself in all of these areas has changed not only how I view myself, how I operate in my life and the results that I see, but also how I interact with others and even my bank account.

I've compiled a list of our favorite tech tools and platforms and organized them by category. First we’re talking about Business Management tools (from CRMs, to calendars and tasks), then Finance & Legal (payment processors, managing finances, running payroll), then Websites & Courses (platforms for running both), and finally Marketing & Creative (email marketing, creating graphics, getting photos etc).

By the time we move back to the States in July 2023, I will have lived in Australia for about 6 years. First in a small coastal town called East Ballina, and then in Sydney (both in the city and now in the Northern Beaches). I’ll be sharing a bunch of fun tidbits about what life is like here, some comparisons between AU and the US, and address some common questions or misconceptions I hear! Then at the end, I’ll share a bit about learning the lingo. While we speak English here in OZ, there is a lot of fun Aussie slang that is so fun and some of them hilarious. I found after recording this that there were many more things I could have shared, so there is a Part 2 coming out next!

The Places We Used to Love

The Places We Used to Love
Do you have any places in the world that you at some point used to absolutely LOVE, and then you revisit them and that feeling is no longer there? You come back to that place to relive those moments a little and it feels different. The place itself may have not changed much, but you've changed. You've experience more. You've explored more. Have you ever felt this way before? This has happened to me a few times over the years, and I wanted to share in case anyone else relates. In this personal podcast episode I'm sharing my two places for me that I've had this experience with big time. Two places in the States that I used to be obsessed with and have so many fond memories of, and now it's just not the same.

Choosing Your Niche Market
Choosing a Niche market in business is essential for standing out in the crowd, and for making it clear to others what you do and who you work with.

And the more connection we can create with our ideal clients, the more they will trust us and be more likely to take action in working with us or making a purchase. In this episode, I'm giving you the rundown of what you need to consider when choosing your niche market. Want our Niche Market Cheatsheet? Go to to grab it for free!

Manifesting a Move to the States
It's a big announcement today, we are officially moving back to the States this year in July! After nearly 6 years of living down under in Australia, I'm returning back to my homeland to live. I arrived here in Australia back in 2017 with no business, dating my Aussie boyfriend and no idea how things were going to go. And I'm moving back with a design agency, a husband and a baby. In this episode, I take you through all the details with the big move: WHY we're moving WHERE we're moving to (it's somewhere I've never even visited before) and HOW I'm feeling about everything + a quick little back story about how I ended up living overseas in the first place in case you're newer to the podcast
