In this episode of Small Business Pivots, host Michael D. Morrison, Founder & CEO of BOSS, sits down with Kristi Chaves, a seasoned business coach with over 11 years of experience helping service-based entrepreneurs grow and scale online the non-conventional way.

Kristi shares her journey of building her business organically without the “corporate safety net,” focusing on client retention, transformational coaching, and marketing that plays to your strengths. From overcoming mindset blocks to designing a business that aligns with your lifestyle, Kristi breaks down what it really takes to scale sustainably—without burnout, rigid rules, or chasing unrealistic revenue promises.

You’ll discover:

• Why clarity about your life vision is the foundation of business growth
• The early mistakes that kept Kristi “stuck” and how she broke through
• The role of mindset, nervous system regulation, and resilience in business success
• How to market to your strengths instead of forcing cookie-cutter strategies
• Practical insights for service-based business owners ready to scale beyond referrals

Whether you’re just starting out or feeling stuck after years in business, this conversation will give you a fresh perspective on creating a business that not only makes money but also supports the lifestyle you truly want.
