Season 1
Procrastination has big impact on your life, but shows up in small ways, and for most of us, we battle it every day. Today, I’m going to share how I kick procrastination to the curb. Tolerations are tiny annoyances in your life that you've avoided dealing with. Examples: A loose knob that bothers you every day when you open the door. Receipts piling up on your counter, in your car, in your purse. Not setting up auto-pay on a bill. A monthly subscription you need to cancel. Unpacking boxes after a move (4 months ago). A closet full of clothes you don't wear…you get the picture.Each of these little things on their own are not a big deal.But when you have a bunch of them, it causes strain, stress on mindset that weighs you down. So, I’ve adopted a philosophy I call Radical Responsibility. Practicing Radical Responsibility is about showing up for your life in little ways that prove to yourself that you can handle your business. One of the things I reminded myself of often when I started my new business in real estate was, "If it is to be, it is up to me." The hard truth when you start a business is that one is coming along to do this thing for you. Eventually, you can hire people to handle things, but day one - it’s up to you to take action and move things forward. My Challenge for You Today: Kick start a new practice of taking Radical Responsibility in your life by having a “Million Dollar Day.” Here’s how it works:THE MILLION DOLLAR DAYImagine your wealthy aunt offered to pay you a million dollars to complete in a single day what you’ve been procrastinating on for decades...Could you do it? Step 1.) Make a list of everything you’ve been procrastinating on & a note of how long you’ve been procrastinating each one...Step 2.) Pick a day to complete your Million Dollar Day (preferably within the next week)Step 3.)

I’ve been digging deeper over the past few months on this concept of the “Upper Limit” problem that Gay Hendricks describes in his book, The Big Leap. He describes some very specific behaviors that made me feel both seen - and SO called out! See if you relate to any of these behaviors that may actually be “symptoms” of you hitting your upper limit…Most common upper limit behaviors: Worrying Blame and Criticism Getting Sick or Hurt Squabbling Hiding Significant Feelings Not keeping agreements Not speaking truths to the relevant people (talking to someone else about it instead) Deflecting (Brushing off compliments) From the Book: The Big Leap by Gay HendricksMy Challenge for You Today: Make a commitment to keeping an attitude of curiosity and joy while learning about your upper limit behaviors. Say this sentence in your mind: I commit to discovering my upper limit behaviors, and to having a good time while I’m learning about them. When you notice yourself doing one of the things you are becoming aware is an upper limit behavior, shift your attention to the real issue: expanding your capacity for abundance, love, and success.

Most business owners spend more than 50% of their time doing low income-producing activities, so they are not earning what they would like to be in their business. In today’s episode, we discuss what to do to value your time - and value yourself - so you start making more money in your business. What is the cost of doing $25 per hour activity when you’re capable of $1,000 per hour? In a year, if you generated $1,000 per hour for 20 hours per week, you would make over $1 million more than if you keep doing $25 per hour tasks for that same 20 hours. This is a MILLION reasons to prioritize your priorities in your business! Time blocking is simply deciding in advance when you will make time to move your action items forward to accomplish your goals. One of my best secrets to avoiding interruptions and getting things done: make appointments with yourself, then honor those appointments. Treat yourself like a highly paid professional and keep your appointments with yourself. My Challenge for You Today: If you struggle with finding the time to focus on high-value activities, do this: For two weeks, track where your time is going every 15 minutes. Then, look back and see where large chunks of your time are going and identify 2-3 things you could delegate or eliminate in order to free up at least an hour per day to work on your goals and have more income-producing activities each week. Over the course of a year, this will create the equivalent of over 6 whole 40-hour work weeks to get it done!

I’ve struggled with organization since I was a kid. I rebelled against rules and systems or having to clean or organize my stuff. As I’ve matured and my goals have increased, I’ve grown to love and rely on systems and creating spaces that support my goals. I can’t be who I used to be if I want different results in my life! In this episode I share tips and strategies for setting up your physical environment and calendar to support your intentions for getting things done. Let’s talk about systems for: Physical office space Getting ready Morning Richuals Notebooks Mail Files Bags To Do List Time Blocking Electronic files Books I mention in this episode:How Not to Be a Messie: The Ultimate Guide for the Neatness Challenged by Sandra Felton (published in 1999 - it’s an oldie, but a goodie) The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo My Challenge for You Today: If you work from home, or have an office - set yourself up for success by organizing your space for maximum productivity. Create Zones for working and for your morning routine. Keep ONLY the things you need close at hand. Get rid of visual clutter. Face your desk away from the wall and towards a window for good energy. Have a place for your papers. Eliminate what you don’t need - archive your old paperwork in a place that is not in your immediate view.

Change is inevitable - things are getting better, or they’re getting worse. The BAD News… Most people wait for something to blow up in their life before it’s painful enough to make a change. Example: your boss does something awful - so you finally quit that job. The GOOD News… I don’t have to wait for things to get REALLY BAD before I make changes in my life or my business. The Formula for Change says that there is something just as powerful as dissatisfaction with your current situation. It’s CLARITY of VISION and FIRST STEPS. On today’s episode, we dig into how to get true CLARITY. If you want support on your journey to grow your business, register for my free workshop for Women Entrepreneurs.
