Hey Goal Digger, Kimberly here. Welcome back to another episode. We are going to talk about what to do if your team's not doing anything, you know what I'm talking about. So whether or not you've built a big team, have a small team, maybe have your first recruit that's not doing anything and you're scratching your head going, "what am I doing wrong?" We're going to get into that in more in this episode. But first, a listener review: "I've been following and learning from Kimberly Olson for almost two years. As I struggled from PTSD and many issues, this woman has been the kindest soul showing me how I can take back my mind and strive to succeed. It hasn't been easy, but you can tell she shows up every day with a 150% quality. She shows her passion and drive to truly want to help. She's a must-follow and you must take her courses.
They're unbelievable how much value she has given to the cause. She is so amazing". Well, thank you so much. It's an anonymous, what's it called when no one knows who you are? Anonymous, right? Well, either way. Thank you. I appreciate it. And if you didn't know, you can leave a review on any platform that you're listening on. Yes. We now have a way to get all of them, so thank you. Okay. So we just, my team and actually all the way up the chain, like I think it was one of my mentors, I know for sure it was his biggest month in the 20 years he's been in this industry. But our team had our biggest month and I was thinking a lot about that. Like why, what was the difference? And we also had, I think, 50 rank advancements and just a lot of wins.
Right? A lot of amazing things. I maxed out on one side of the comp plan, myself. So it was really great. And I was thinking about that, like, what was it? You know, what was the difference? So this is what I will say to you. And this isn't exactly easy to hear sometimes, but it can allow you to get back in the driver's seat and take control. So if you're feeling at a loss at this point, or you don't know what to do to get people going, this will help you. Okay. So first off you can't force people to do things.

Kimberly Olson:
Hey, Hey, Goal Diggers, Kimberly Olson in the house for something special today for you. We have a guest interview, we're going to talk about how she built it with Patti Whiteye. So without further ado, I'm going to bring on Patti Whiteye. She's someone that just caught my eye right away. She's been a Goal Digger, someone that I've known for quite some time. We have a lot in common, but she was just one of those people that we had a chance to talk on the phone one time, and I was like, "Ohhhh!" It's just so refreshing to connect with other women that are operating at the same level, have huge goals, want to impact, want to just make great income as well, but just goes after it. And I really believe that success leaves clues. Welcome on Patti. We're so excited to have you and hear about you and your journey and your success. So let's just take it back a minute. So I know you've been in the professional career space for a long time. Tell us a bit about your career, your corporate world. And then when did you get into entrepreneurship? Can you kind of bring us up to speed a little bit?
Patti Whiteye:
Sure. Yeah. It's my story is really long. I'm going to give you a really shortened version of it. I started teaching in 1991, High School math teacher. And, when I met my husband, I quit my job and moved to be with him where his job was. And I had a hard time getting back into teaching 'cause they weren't hiring. So we actually owned our own karate studio for 10 years. And then I got back into teaching and when my kids all left, I have three children. They're all gone away, I have two boys in the Marine Corps and a daughter who goes to school in Florida. And when they left, I really felt that whole empty nest thing. Like really empty. And I started with my company because of the products. I actually just, I had no clue that this could possibly be something for me to do. And I started the products. I really loved them. I'm like, "you know what? I'm going to look into this some more". And I realized that this is way bigger than helping people with products. And so I set a goal that I wanted to retire from my teaching career and I was able to do that in January.
Kimberly Olson:
Congratulations! That's such a huge thing, because so many people talk about it and you don't hear it as much as we'd like to. So when you do cross that milestone, we need to stop and celebrate that. We need to say it can be done with hard work, tenacity, just keeping your eye on the prize. It can be done.

All right, Goal Digger, welcome back to another episode. In this episode, I'm going to give you the top algorithm hacks that can totally 10X your engagement. When it comes down to it, your engagement is everything. Your algorithm. Really understanding the algorithm and how to beat it is going to allow you to get in front of people. If you're not getting in front of people and people aren't seeing your content, even if it's awesome, then you're not going to have people to talk to. Right? So that's literally the name of the game. So if you want to grow your business or your online presence, then this episode is for you. First, we have a listener review, "easy to implement and easy to follow. I follow you on all your platforms, and I'm just amazed at all you have to offer. I love learning from you and have done so much for my business in the last few months.
I love that your podcasts are short and simple and easy to implement right now. Thank you for everything. You're truly an inspiration. I'm so thankful for everything you've given me. Jennifer K". Thanks, Jennifer. You're so sweet. I appreciate it very, very much. So I'm going to give you guys five awesome ideas for algorithm packs. So I'm sure you know this by now, but just in case, algorithm is basically kind of the rating that your account gets. So there's many things that can boost your algorithm or give you a higher algorithm rating. But what you want to think about is you - like the longevity of your account, for example. You want your account to have a high algorithm rating. It's dictated by the social media platforms themselves. We're mostly gonna talk about Facebook today, but what I share with you can definitely translate over to Instagram and other platforms.
So what we want to do is we want high algorithm. What this means is when you post something, if you have a high algorithm rating, it tells Facebook, "Ooh, we like her content. We like her profile overall. We like how she's showing up", and it will take your post and share it and put it out in the newsfeed in front of more people. So if you and I post the same thing and I have a higher algorithm rating, then my content is going to be seen by more of my people than yours. So if you've ever posted something and it had like two likes and no comments, and you're like "WTH?", that's why.

Kimberly Olson:
Welcome back to another episode of The Goal Digger girl. My name is Kimberly Olson, and I'm super excited to share with you a special guest. I know you have all heard me talk about her many, many times, one of our Goal Digger coaches, one of my business besties, just an amazing mompreneur, Chaitali Desai. Welcome on!
Chaitali Desai:
Hey, hey, thank you so much for inviting me. I love it!
Kimberly Olson:
So excited. Oh my gosh, I was telling you before we started recording, it's like we're moving in so many different directions that we have to schedule a podcast to actually see each other and catch up.
Chaitali Desai:
I know, I'm looking forward to our retreat so we can all just kind of breathe and say, "Hey, I'm me and you're you" and finally meet.
Kimberly Olson:
Right. And if you guys listening and you've been in our challenges or in our programs, Chaitali and I have never met before. So I mean, it's just crazy the power of social media and I can't wait to hug you. I'm super pumped. So for those that are new to you, do you mind sharing a little bit about who you are, what you do and a little bit about your entrepreneurial journey?
Chaitali Desai:
Sure. So I'm Chaitali Desai, I am a corporate wife and a mom of two. And for the longest time, my main focus was my family. We moved so much because we are a corporate family that my main "job" was to make sure everyone was settled in wherever we were. And since we were overseas for so long, I was just engrossed in like learning where we were in the countries and just all of that stuff. Then upon coming back to the US, I was like, "Oh geez, I need to do something". 'Cause my kids are getting bigger. So I started looking in the online space because for sure, no matter where we lived, there was always wifi, always internet, even up in the Bush when we were on Safari you still were connected. So I was like, "okay, I'm going to start to go this path". And slowly I entered network marketing, I was introduced to you. And fast forward, here we are today on a podcast. Still, I can't believe how I'm getting to help people. 'Cause that's one of my core values and then never in a million years, did I think this was what it was going to be, but I'm a loving it. The business, coaching, the strategy, just being able to use all of my colorful background and certifications and just helping people continue to grow. It's amazing.
Kimberly Olson:
I mean, I just see you just evolving and shining and it's, it's been so much fun to get to know you and work with you.

Hey, Hey Goal Digger. Welcome back to another episode. Kimberly Olson here. First we have a listener review and then we're going to dive into the behind-the-scenes of how I really run my day. So this listener is Shop With Michelle and she says, "motivating podcast. Thank you so much for your genuine approach to helping people. You share such good content with a relatable and motivational message. I learned so much every time I listened. You are awesome". Thank you so much, Michelle. That's very sweet. I appreciate it. And just so you guys know, if you went back to my original podcast, I used to live stream them on Instagram. I don't prepare notes for these. When I interview people, obviously we have an outline, but these solo ones, I purposefully created the structure for the podcast that way, because I wanted it to really be like you and I were hanging out, you know, having a conversation. Obviously it's one way, but one way dialogue.
But my idea around it was if it was unscripted, then it could have that natural feel to it. And that's my goal. So I appreciate you saying that and y'all wherever you're listening, please leave a review because we have a way to find all of the reviews now, which we didn't have that capability. And we're actually coming up on our three year anniversary of The Goal Digger Girl podcast. I just realized that - I think we started in April or May of 2018. So I'm going to have to check that out, but throw it in your stories and say, "so happy to share and celebrate a three-year anniversary". And give me a tag and I'll give you a shout out. So I thought it'd be cool to talk about how I really run my day, because I'll never forget the first coaching program I was in.
The girl that was running it, she said, "okay, now I'm going to run through my day. Like, what do I really do?" And she went through and I was like, "Whoa!" There was so much that she did, but it was also kind of an eye-opener of, this is what it takes to, and at the time I don't think she was quite at seven figures, but she was definitely at multiple six figures. Well on her way to seven. So she was having huge success in her network marketing company as well, which was why I was coaching with her at the time. So it really helped me a lot, and I thought it would help you as well. So I'm just going to kind of share with you exactly how my day goes.

Kimberly Olson:
Awww. That is so cool.
Natalie Dreger:
We got separated for 34 years with no contact. And within 12 hours of reconnecting, he asked me to marry him.
Kimberly Olson:
I think you have a book coming. 'Cause that's like an amazing story.
Natalie Dreger:
I do have a book coming out that covers all of that. I am beyond blessed and it's such a cool story. But yeah, so I've been in the fitness industry for quite a while and I actually started that journey as a single mom of 14 years.
Kimberly Olson:
Wow. Okay. So you had your two kiddos and they're pretty far in age, but you're also very young. Like you're - the math isn't adding up. I mean, you're very young. So you had your first child when you were pretty young and then raised that child by yourself?
Natalie Dreger:
Exactly. I was, you know, I could have been a statistic. I was a 16 year old high school cheerleader. And the tables were turned a little bit and I raised him by myself.
Kimberly Olson:
Oh my gosh, Natalie kudos to you. That's incredible.

Welcome back, Goal Digger, to another episode of The Goal Digger Girl podcast. We're so excited to have you listen in today because we're going to talk about why you may want to stop trying to recruit and instead focus on customer building. And I know I got your attention on that one, right? So keep an open mind. 'Cause I think this is going to actually take some pressure off and it is still going to help you rise above, reach your end goal of making a successful online business work for you. But first, a listener review. So it says "Great podcast". This is from Lefty822. It says, "Awesome motivational podcast. Kimberly gives great tips and tricks to get your business going as well. She also has great guests to learn from. Go listen". Oh, I just love that. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Yeah. For a really long time, I just recorded the podcast was actually, I would go live on Instagram.
I would do the recording from that, and obviously it was mostly myself. And then one day I was like, you know what? I want to include interviews because I am such an advocate of collaboration and I feel like we can learn from others. So if you haven't noticed, every other episode is an interview, which is kind of fun. So thank you for the review and you can actually leave a review wherever you're listening to the podcast and we're able to populate those. So please leave a review. It means so, so much to me. So let's first get into why you may want to stop trying to recruit. So the reason why is I actually recently did an affiliate marketing webinar around this, and I did a lot of research going into it. And what we found is that through the research, the experts say in this field, in this space of network marketing/direct sales, that the average person, well, out of all the people recruiting, trying to enroll people, only 20% enroll someone.
So, that's not that many, right? One out of five. And of those, half enrolled a second person. So you're looking at about 10% of people are going to enroll at least two people. So that's a really small number.

Hey, Goal Digger, Kimberly Olson here for another episode, and this is going to be a special money mindset edition. So I think you're going to be really excited. And first we have a listener review from Portia she's one of our rock star Six Figure Breakthrough Business Academy students, and she says "Kimberly's coaching program and amazing coaches are the total package! I've gained so many valuable jewels. I've learned how to brand myself and work my business on social media, using easy duplicatable systems and tools. I've leveled up to the top 2% of my direct selling company and have cultivated a millionaire mindset". Oh, well, geez. We should dedicate this episode to you, Portia, because this is what that's all about. I love hearing that it just lights my heart and we do have an amazing, incredible coaching staff. And make sure you check the link in the show notes for upcoming challenges and special events that we have going on.
So. What we're going to talk about is the close relationship between your mental health and your mental wealth. If, like most people, you've heard about the amazing platform Clubhouse and I had a notification that someone invited me to come into a room. So I came in, and it was all these rockstar female entrepreneurs that are just crushing it. And the topic was mental wealth, and I had never heard that term before. So once I started thinking about it, I'm like, that's actually a really, really great way to describe the health that we have when it comes to our relationship with money, but also us making sure that we are thinking about it. We're proactively being- it's our money consciousness. So we're making sure we're thinking about it. We are asking the Universe for it. We're taking God-led, what do I call it?
Inspired action is how I always describe it. Or divine downloads, whatever you believe in. But it's really honoring that and being okay with it, and seeing the world as abundant, and knowing that you will be blessed and blessed and blessed. That's always the intention is that we are blessed multiple times over. So how does mental health impact mental wealth? Well, a lot of times when I talk to entrepreneurs, obviously I'm in the network marketing/ direct sales space and I'm a coach. So it's that realm. But a lot of times when I talk to them, they really, really want that breakthrough in their income. You know, they want to hit the rank advancement. They want to get the car bonus. They want to be able to quit their job or retire their spouse. And they're stuck. And they're like, I'm doing all the things.

Kimberly Olson:
Hey, Goal Digger. Welcome back to another episode. This is Kimberly, and I'm super excited to share with you my journey to my first Ted Talk, and what I learned in the experience, but also just some thoughts around it. And lot of you asked me and messaged me so I thought that'd be really cool to share that with you. First, a listener review comes from Lauren Martens. Lauren says "I'm a total fan girl of Kim! She's overcome so much and shared knowledge for FREE that will get your business growing and making money! Thanks so much for helping me overcome my anxiety of getting out of my comfort zone and kicking some booty". I love it, Lauren. That's awesome. And if you'll leave a review, just make sure to tag me so that way I can connect with you on that. Thank you, so appreciate it.
So the Tedx Talk, When I did my vision, I updated my vision board last year. So not 2020, about 2019, I made a vision wall actually. So the way my office was, I had paper roll all the way along the whole back was like a brick wall. Some of you probably recall that brick wall. And I used half of it to make a vision wall because- a vision board, because why not? Right. There's so much space. So I was grabbing images, printing things off, and one of them was a Ted Talk. So I cut my face out and put it on the person that was standing on the stage. And I remember when I did it, I thought, well, I don't know. It was just this feeling like I had to be this like professor at a University or a lawyer.
I don't know. There's just this feeling around it. Like, it was very like out of my reach, but just like what are vision boards for? You still should put stuff on there that you don't know how you don't know when, but it's just a goal, a dream that you have. So I put it on there. Well, when I was talking to my friend, Christina Whiteley, she said she could connect me with some people that that's what they do.
