When we were younger most adults asked “What do you want to be when you grow up?”

My answer was always the same “A writer”.

I had a little notebook that I carried around and wrote stories and poems in. When I was eight years old I crafted my first children’s story, The Magic Bean. I used glue, wallpaper and stickers to make a tiny, “published” book that I gave to my mom.

Believe it or not, I was a very quiet child. I would hide behind my parents when they had visitors, and I kept mostly to myself. It didn’t help that my older sister and brother would play games together and say, “Sorry this is two player game” and leave me out. So while they played, I sat nearby and I wrote in my notebook.

Well, I’m all grown up now and that knack for telling stories came in handy. Today I travel all over Canada telling my stories on stage in front of thousands.

My sister recently asked if she could come to one of my speaking events and I replied “Sorry, this is a one player game”

Last month I celebrated 21 years in business. Let me say that again, 21 years in business. Its still hard for me to comprehend.

The first couple years were tight, I made almost zero profit and I was struggling. I lived with my parents. I operated from their spare bedroom with milk crates for a chair.

Back then it was the thought of failure that fueled me to succeed. It would push through hard times and hard conversations. I jumped on any opportunity that came to me I went to every networking event to promote and grow my business.

I build relationships, I build connections, I built confidence. I built a company. I started sharing my trials and challenges in front of audiences. You know that saying “Go Big or Go Home?” Well I learned to “Stay Home to go Big”

Twenty-one years ago, I was a young entrepreneur trying to figure it all out. Today, I am proud to still be here, still growing, still learning, and still building.

And I’m not finished yet.

Small businesses typically write off between 1% and 3% of their total annual credit sales.

If your stats are higher then you dont have a customer problem, you have a policy problem.

At almost every event where I do “the jump,” someone in the audience yells: “IS SHE OKAY?!” or “GET A MEDIC!”

The jump is planned part of the act. It’s a bit dramatic and ridiculous. And I now have an official thumbs-up signal for the organizer, so they know I am ok.

At one event, I heard the organizer yell back to the crowd: “She’s fine! Calm your horses!”

My highest jump so far happened at a high school event where the students completely lost it. They were cheering, clapping, hooting, whistling, and by the end, they gave me a standing ovation. It was also the event where I jumped onto mats made of foam duct-taped together because, apparently, aggressive mice had eaten the actual crash mats the week before I arrived. I can’t make this stuff up.

My physiotherapist is so invested in my speaking career; he follows me online and books me in when he sees how high I’ve jumped.

The jump is more than a stunt; it’s the physical version of the message I share on stage.

Sometimes in business, leadership, life, and reinvention, you have to leap before you feel completely ready.

In this keynote moment, I share the story of my weighted blanket combined with the hilarious antics of nephew, Jax and how it turned into paranormal ninja comedy.

Sometimes, the simplest things end up giving us the best material!

Serving divorce papers was not exactly part of my original business plan.

In this clip, I share one of my early-career stories about being asked to serve divorce papers, and getting chased out of a house in the process.

You would never know how nervous I was right before this performance!!

My heart rate was 135 bpm. My muscles were tightening so badly that I was actually hitting my quads with my fists, trying to release the tension. My student assistant looked at me and asked: “Krista… are you okay?”

Then my walkout music started and I couldn’t back out. She tapped me on the bac, said “You got this” and then pushed me on the stage…

The second I walked out and saw the size of the audience, something shifted. The nerves disappeared. The anxiety lifted and I realized its exactly where I belong.
