We Are Family! Meet Ken Kinstle!

Many of you know that my husband and I ride. Bikes. Motorcycles that is. Harleys to be exact. We love the freedom of hitting the open road and just being. It's a wonderful feeling. One of the other benefits of being a "biker" is that you have family wherever you go. We are all part of one big community of people who value freedom to live life on our terms. So it's no surprise that this month's Success Story and I hit it off almost immediately. He's a fellow biker!  Meet the newest member of MY biker family - AND co-founder of our new venture Bikerpreneurs - Ken Kinstle!

1. Ken, tell us a little about yourself.

I am a business owner, and entrepreneur. I am the founder of Wellness and Wealth Builders. I am always working to help others with their personal wellness or building their legacy income. You will find me sometimes in the lead or sometimes in the group serving and learning how to serve better. Always helping others create new ways to wellness and success and having fun doing it.

2. Tell us about your business.

Welcome to a whole new world of opportunity, rewards and satisfaction! Our goal at Wellness and Wealth Builders is to help people everywhere achieve greater wellness – both in their physical lives as well as their financial ones. As a pioneering global company, we’ve created a unique opportunity where individuals like you can benefit financially by simply sharing this vision and mission with others.

3. Why did you start your own business?

To build a legacy and a legacy income for my family in the future. I am a serial entrepreneur..lol. I have been since I was a child!

4. How did you choose this particular niche?

I am in three niches now. The wellness niche presented itself to me in 2006 and it was a business decision that started me there. Crypto was added because I have fallen in love with digital currency. I love numbers and the blockchain model and its derivatives are fascinating to me. And travel because I love the ocean and love to travel!

5. What do you like most and least about being your own boss?

It's ironic that you ask this question. What I like best?  Time freedom! So much so, that I recently closed down my brick and mortar businesses because of what I like least - the ridiculously long hours and low rewards.

6. What personality traits and skills are needed to run a business?

All you really need are persistence and patience. All the other skills necessary can be learned.

7. What has been the most difficult part of being an entrepreneur?

Patience, lol! I still struggle with that one!

8. Do you have any resources that you have used to build your business that you would recommend?

Two things that you almost never find on the "recommended resources list". Successful mentors. People who are where you want to be and are willing to help you get there. And a mastermind group. Think of it as a study group like you had in high school or college. Both of these are critical for ANY DEGREE of success.

9. Do you have any tips to share on promoting yourself?

Be transparent and honest… engage with people!

10. What other advice would like to share with someone starting their own business?

Find your passion and pour yourself into it. I know that may sound trite but it's true. You have to be passionate about what you are doing or odds are you will quit at the first bump in the road.
11. How can we contact you to learn more about your products and services?

5 Smart Self-Esteem Builders

It’s easy to talk about rebuilding your self-esteem. But it’s hard to know where to start. There are so many suggestions and ideas out there already. What’s the first thing you should do? How about trying one of these exercises…

Argue with Your Inner Critic

The mean girl in your head is hard to live with. Instead of accepting everything she says as truth, start jotting down what she tells you. Spend a few days collecting these notes and it won’t be long before you have a few.

When you’re in a good head space, pull out these thoughts. Then write what’s really true beneath them. For example, the inner critic might say: “You’re so stupid!” You could write something like: “I taught myself how to install a new floor from YouTube tutorials!”

If you have trouble with this exercise, ask a friend who’s supportive to join you. She may have more insights that will help you see yourself clearly.

Stop Comparing Yourself

Comparison steals your joy and your confidence. It’s not healthy to continually compare yourself to your friends, celebrities in the media, or even your past performance. You are enough right now. Remind yourself of this truth whenever you get caught up in the comparison trap.

Limit Your Time

Think about each person in your life. When you’ve finished a conversation on the phone or left a get-together with them, ponder how you feel afterwards.

Are you encouraged and energized? Are you pumped up and ready to face a new challenge? Or do you feel hopeless and blah? Are you questioning your life choices? Or doubting that you can improve your family/home/career/etc?

It’s not our friends’ jobs to make us feel upbeat all the time. But if you notice you always feel worse after talking to a particular family member or friend, try to limit your time together. You’ll be happier for it and your self-esteem will grow, too.

Make Time for What You Love

One of the best ways to improve your self-image is to do more of what makes you happy. Make a list of activities that feed your soul and make it a priority to do one thing from this list each day.

Tackle a New Challenge

Although it can be difficult, tackling a new challenge is a wonderful way to boost your self-esteem. You don’t have to dare yourself to climb Mt. Everest tomorrow but what if you tried the local rock-climbing wall?

You don’t have to learn how to code a website from scratch but what if you tried posting to Blogger? Creating a series of small challenges and getting them done can inspire you and be a reminder of just how awesome you are.

Building your self-esteem is a process. You won’t get it done in an hour or even in a day. That’s because you’re re-writing how you view yourself. There will be ups and downs on your journey toward better self-esteem but don’t give up. You can do this and you’ll be happier for it!
