Personal standards not only directly affect the level of peace and happiness you have within your life, but they also directly affect the results you get in your professional life. Not having or setting low standards leads to below average results for most people. It comes through in everything they do. By raising your personal standards, you increase your level of personal peace and happiness and you gain an edge over others in life and in business, which helps you stand out from the crowd of mediocrity.

So many women entrepreneurs come to me struggling with their confidence and this has got to stop. Business is tough enough and the last thing you need to be doing is struggling with confidence every day. In this episode we begin a series of understanding how to use commitment, courage, and capability to ultimately grow your confidence.  

In this episode I want to talk with you about this thing called FOMO, or "fear of missing out," its a real phenomenon that is becoming increasingly common and can cause significant stress in your life and your business. 

In this episode we talk about something I call Busy Avoidance. This is when you are being busy just in an attempt to avoid doing other more important or productive things that you know you should be doing to move your business forward.  I’m also going to share with you a few ways that all this business could be toxic to your business and how it could be hindering you from achieving the business growth you desire.    

I know that I'm not the only one in business who has ever suffered from self- doubt, spiraling thoughts, or overwhelm. As a coach who has studied CBT for many years, I just knew there had to be a way to stop the spiraling and get my thoughts under control. Today I want to share with you exactly what I did to stop the thought spirals in hopes that it will help you if ever you feel like you are caught in a thought spiral.

Today we're going have a quick chat about goals- you know how I love to talk about goals. I think I like to talk about it so much because it’s so much fun to think big and to believe for more. But today I also want to talk to you about two main culprits to destroying your dreams and goals. They are two words- Shame and Guilt.

Today I’d like to talk to you about committing to belief. This is something I struggled with for many years. That is until I realized what the problem was and how to solve it. The problem for me was that when I set a goal or decided that I wanted to achieve something really big I didn’t actually believe that I was the person that could achieve that goal. All that changed when I changed my belief and in this podcast, I explain how to do that for yourself.      

One of the most important things you can do as an Entrepreneur to help you boost your business and your earnings is to work on developing a positive self -concept. Often we limit ourselves, our earnings, our business development, and our overall success potential, just by what we think we are capable of and by believing the image we have of ourselves.

Have you ever felt the need to help someone who has helped you in the past? This is known as the law of reciprocity. It is one of the many different marketing and sales techniques that you can use to gain new customers and clients.

It’s incredible how much of our time is spent doing things that aren’t really productive. Now we may “believe” we’re spending our time on the things that matter but the truth is lots of time is wasted. At the end of the day there seems to be no time for ourselves let alone for building our dream businesses. Today I want to encourage you that there is time. The time is there, it’s just likely being stolen from you by things that don’t matter in the big picture. We call these things Time Thieves.

Failure is one reason why most people don't attempt to become Entrepreneurs or the reason why they quit prematurely. But what I want to offer you is that the place of discomfort is exactly the point where you will experience a breakthrough. It means that you’ve taken a step in creating something that will evolve you. So, what I want to encourage you to do is to set your goals high but be prepared for the fear that will inevitably arise and create a plan in how to handle that fear.

Whether it’s being stuck in your business or in your personal life it’s never a fun experience. And it’s worse when you start comparing yourself to all of the other entrepreneurs around you who seem to “have it all together.” Its natural for you to feel like everyone is moving forward while you remain stuck in the same place. But being afraid to make a wrong decision and staying in the confusion trap leads you nowhere. Making a choice can often lead to more success.

In this episode we discuss leading with authenticity. How being inauthentic is exhausting whereas, when you allow yourself to be truly authentic you can commit yourself to excellence in everything you do. When you’re authentic you’ll have more energy and ability access to your own creativity to constantly be pushing the envelope and raising your standards.  Being authentic allows you the luxury of settling and you’ll be less likely to  believe the lies and excuses your own mind offers up.

Well, it’s that time of the year where everything is about setting new goals such as setting career goals, life goals, and of course business goals too. There was a time, not so long ago, where I lived by goal setting and I have focused a lot of energy on teaching others to do the same. Today I share with you a secret. I found something that is way better to help you achieve whatever it is you want to achieve. It’s called Setting Intentions.

In this episode we talk about creating positive psychological momentum in your life and in your business. Because many entrepreneurs are feeling burnt out, stuck in a rut, depressed or lacking in the energy and drive that they may have started out with in January of 2020. We’ve been through a rough 2020 and we could all use some positive momentum going into 2021!

In this episode we talk about self-indulgent emotions. The kind that feel comfortable to us or the kind of emotions that we spend more time in than we would like to, but they don’t give us the results that we want In our lives or in our business. Find out why we so often sabotage ourselves with Self- indulgent emotions what you can do about it to stop it.

Today we talk about something that seems harmless enough but in fact it often delays your progress toward achieving personal and professional success. Our desire to want things now referred to as instant gratification, is a powerful force. Waiting is hard, and we all have an innate desire to have what we want when we want it, which is usually without any delay. When we don’t get fulfillment, our psychological response is anxiety or tension and this can very negative impacts on our life and business.

Self-rating is an automatic habit for most of us. We also live in a world where people-rating is the norm, so others are unlikely to help us change. But it's not impossible. Here are some strategies which will help you be more aware when you are rating yourself or others so you can stop limiting yourself and others.

Today I have a quick podcast for you on the difference between feelings and emotions.  The reason knowing the difference between the two is so important is that it will help you identify and change the corresponding negative behaviors associated with the feeling or emotion more easily which will of course be life changing!

When you set a goal your brain will come up thoughts and with all the reasons why you can's achieve your goal. I call these barrier thoughts. It will provide you with a detailed list of thoughts that act as barriers to achieving your goal. But once your recognize these barrier thoughts you can turn them into the very strategy and the roadmap to helping you achieve your goal. 

In Today's episode we talk to you about a self-defeating addictive behaviour that too many young entrepreneurs find themselves wrapped up in when trying to market their online businesses.   It’s a really sneaky trap- that usually starts out as a logical tactic to gain business attention from prospective clients and to get some traction but trying to gain others' approval is never a good strategy. 

In today’s episode we’re going to unravel a topic that I find so fascinating as it relates to the human mind and how it affects our journey to achievement of any dream or goal. Whether it’s in your life, in your relationships or working on your business the intent is NEVER to undermine yourself or your attempts at happiness, growth, love, wealth or success. Today we’ll explore several ways in which people self-sabotage their own journey to success.

You are either intentionally creating your reality in your life and your business or you are unintentionally creating your reality. That means everything you care about, your relationships, your love life, your friendships, your business, your financial life, parenting – absolutely everything you care about you are unintentionally creating results every day.

It doesn’t matter who you are, there are things you want in life that require you to take action. If you don’t take action, then its likely the law of diminishing intent will take affect. And over time, your intention and motivation for taking action will diminish.

Today I have a special episode for you- I’m going to share with you a Listener question received through my Ask Angie Anything portal. I’m calling this episode- Compare and Despair as I offer advice to a listener who finds herself feeling defeated and stuck in the gap between where she is and where she wants to be in comparison to others.

Is it possible that what we truly desire and what we are pursuing with all our energy and all our passion in building a successful life and business, is it possible that our “desire” is running smack dab into the wall of the opposing force of our own beliefs? Could it be this unseen battle between our desire and our beliefs that is the very thing that is keeping us stuck and draining our energy?

In this episode, we explore how confirmation bias drives us to always prove our beliefs and how that process causes different people to see a different set of realities based on the same set of facts. Tune in to find out what you need to do in order to overcome confirmation bias in the way that helps you get what you want and achieve your goals for life and business.

Success is not learned it’s earned.  A lot of people need to know exactly how to do something before they do it, so they don’t fail and feel bad.  They try to learn how to do something so they can avoid feeling negative emotions which keeps people stuck in over analyzing and in being perfect. That’s great when you’re an employee but entrepreneurship is a completely different game.  

Most people I've talked to and that I’ve worked with have an aversion to being seen on social media - they feel exposed like their lives are on display - they feel very vulnerable.  Social media can be a very scary place and networking or marketing and the idea of selling on- line can be very intimidating and in order to allow yourself to be vulnerable and put yourself out there you must first feel safe you have to feel a certain level of safety

Neural pathways are the biological result of your habitual thinking, feeling and acting. The problem occurs when you find yourself having been engaged in negative patterns of thinking, feeling and or acting. This negativity forms pathways that you may be self-sabotaging your efforts toward success. The good news is that you can begin training your brain to create new neural pathways. These new pathways get stronger with repetition until those new behaviors become wired in as your new normal.

In this episode I ask you to consider the topic of Comfort Addiction- What it is? Why it may be sabotaging your success? And if you are willing to step outside of it? Because for us to grow into the next level version of ourselves we are going to need to be willing to be okay with being uncomfortable.

In today’s episode I’m going to discuss with you the Power in Positivity. Research is beginning to reveal that positive thinking is about much more than just being happy or displaying an upbeat attitude. Positive thoughts can create real value in your life and help you build skills that go a lot further than a happy disposition.

Today’s topic is called Permission to Sell.  In this episode I’m going to explain what it is, why it’s important. Then I’m going to share with you how you can get it so that you can increase your close and conversion rates. Permission based selling is a simple selling technique which hinges on salespeople reaching out with details or stronger engagement tactics only after they have received permission from the prospect to do so.

You’ve probably heard some variation of the catch phrase “see it, believe it, achieve it” and then rolled your eyes without giving it another thought. Many people will say these are merely words, and cannot help you, I wouldn’t disagree with them. See, believe, and achieve are only words, but when you take time to think of how you can apply them in your life in a sequence to go after your goal, I believe, they are essential to achieving your definition of success.

When you make a conscious decision rather than reacting to whatever is happening based on your pre-programming - you place yourself in control and you are literally choosing what you want to happen in your life rather than just letting your life happen to you.

Life is not easy and neither is entrepreneurship. That's why building belief in yourself and in your products and services is imperative. After all, if you don’t believe 125% in what you sell and how your customers will benefit, then there is no way you will be able to convey to your customer why they should invest in what you’re offering. In this episode we discuss how to build your business belief.     

Today I want to talk to you about Possibility Vs Probability and how you can use them both to create your Reality I began thinking about this topic recently as I was thinking about HOW people achieve goals. Believe me I spend a lot of time thinking about this and how to serve my clients and you my audience. I have studied this topic for years and have found my focus – My niche- in coaching on Personal Performance as it relates to Entrepreneurship

Learning to do hard things is a skill that you can develop just like eating your vegetables when you were younger. You can actually learn to do hard things in your business and reduce procrastination. And you may even end up enjoying the feeling you get from the great accomplishment of doing that thing you thought was so hard to do.

People pleasing is a common reality, especially among women business owners and it's a trap. When the desire to please others dominates your business, it's not pretty. It pulls you off course, causes unnecessary distractions and interruptions, and leads to the neglect of critical business development activities. There's a huge price to pay when business is driven by people pleasing.

According to researchers, people are terrible at predicting who they’ll  be in the future. The reason is simple: it’s because its far easier to remember the past than to imagine yourself in the future. In today's episode we discuss practical ways you can  start envisioning your future self so you can create the success you desire.

In this episode Angie shares with you a little technique called The Art of Detachment to help you navigate the stormy seas of life and business.

One of the main qualities of being a great leader is the ability to make decisions. And the ability to be decisive is a core development area for many emerging leaders, especially women. Learning to make good decisions is and art and a skill that can be practiced and mastered over time.   

We think we are somehow "in control" of our lives.  We act as if we are guaranteed tomorrow, as if our health will maintain, as if our employers will retain us, as if our investments will be safe. When the truth is we have no control over any of life's circumstances. However, through these uncertain times you can find a lesson to be learned that will help you grow as person. Learn to act “As If” life is for you and not against you, and things will become clearer and much easier for you.

We didn’t choose what we are going through now with the global pandemic. None of us did, and rarely if ever do we choose for bad things to happen to us and the ones we love. However, bad stuff does happen- and the fact is - When something bad happens you have three choices: You can let it define you, let it destroy you, or you can leverage it and let it strengthen you. The choice is yours.

The process of staying productive in times of any crisis whether it is personal crisis or global crisis is no easy task.  - People today are faced with more challenges than ever before- We have the obvious global concerns - and in addition to that most are living already pretty stress filled lives all of that can cause emotional overwhelm which can lead to depression. In this episode we discuss how to identify if you are experiencing emotional overwhelm and what you can do about it.

Many of us find ourselves with a lot  more time on our hands now, as many people are no longer commuting to appointments or for their day jobs and a lot more people are working from home - The result is we have more time but we' find ourselves confused as to what to do with all that time. There are so many things we can do with our time to advance our businesses.  Today we are going to start with - some foundational work and that is building your self-credibility  

During uncertain times and with all the impending changes that threaten our very lifestyle, I'm getting lots of questions about how to control the overwhelming anxiety that so many are feeling right now. Having the knowledge and understanding about why feel the way we feel and understanding the brain and how it processes bad news and how it processes fear, anxiety and uncertainty is empowering. Because once you understand why something is happening, you’re then empowered to do something about it.
