Pascale  --------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT --------------------- Episode 347: Self-Discipline Secrets - Discover 6 Powerful Habits To Achieve Any Goal   Hello, wonderful listeners! It is Pascale Gibon here. I am so thrilled to be your host for episode 347 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. I hope you are ready to dive deep into a crucial topic today - discipline. Yes, the sometimes difficult-to-achieve but oh-so-powerful quality that makes the distinction between those who achieve lasting success and those who stay stuck spinning their wheels.   You see, when we examine the lives of truly successful people across all walks of life, one striking commonality emerges - an incredible level of self-discipline. These high performers refuse to let distractions, momentary discomforts, or fleeting moods derail them from their chosen path. Instead, they cultivate laser-like focus, develop habits of persistence, and hold themselves to exceptionally high standards.  You might have a worthy ideal or goal. So today, I will share six powerful ways to strengthen your self-discipline muscle. Think of it as a workout plan for your willpower! How exciting!   Let us start: Pillar #1: Develop Intense Focus  In this chaotic and distracting world we live in, it is all too easy to have our attention shattered into a million little pieces. But the road to results requires laser-like concentration on what matters most. Try time-boxing techniques like giving yourself a 5-hour distraction-free window to get things done or commit to a daily "Power Hour" where you pour all your energy into your highest leverage activity. Keep the big picture in mind always.   Pillar #2. Become a Creature of Supportive Habits Repetition paves the path to mastery. Just look at legends like Picasso, Michael Jordan, or Janet Jackson, whose stunning artistry flows effortlessly thanks to thousands of hours of diligent practice. Read that book again that is most impactful to you. One of my mentors, Bob Proctor, read the book by Napoleon Hill, “Think And Grow Rich” every day for over 50 years. Listen to that course repeatedly. Etch the habits of excellence into your neurology through persistence and consistency.     Pillar #3. Be Unstoppable   There is no such thing as 'discipline' without consistency. Prolific achievers like author John Maxwell, who wrote over 100 books, do not park their talents. They just keep going and experience lasting success. Let go of the stop-and-start approach that leaves you with numerous unfinished projects. Keep going and do not give up until you have crossed the finish line.   Pillar #4. Organise Like a Boss Let us face it - chaos breeds more chaos. If you want to be more disciplined, start by getting organised. Map out your year in advance.  You get things done when you anticipate the activities you wish to carry out daily. Keep a physical diary that lays out your daily priorities. As the saying goes, "What gets scheduled gets done." So anticipate and schedule your ideal reality in advance.   Pillar #5. Adopt Self-Commandment   True self-discipline requires issuing clear and unwavering directives to oneself and then following through, no matter what. It is about maintaining a high level of self-awareness to notice when you drift off-course and immediately course-correct when necessary. When you commit to a goal, you do it without excuses, ifs, ands, or buts.   Pillar #6. Cultivate A Growth Mindset  More than anything, lasting self-discipline flows from an unstoppable growth mindset. It is the determination to expand and evolve, to embrace failures as data points, to persevere through adversity, and to keep climbing higher. Nurture this mindset by committing to daily personal development through reading, exercise, meditation, and more.    To get started, follow the 20-20-20 rule. Every day, discipline yourself to spend: 20 minutes of reading or listening to a personal development book, podcast or course 20 minutes exercising 20 minutes of practising mindfulness through meditation and prayer   To improve your results and experience success, I invite you now to take some time to ponder these six pillars of self-discipline:   Pillar #1: Intense Focus Where could you apply more focus to get better results?  Pillar #2: Supportive Habits  What habits need strengthening through repetition?  Pillar #3: Become Unstoppable What endeavours require you to stay more consistent?  Pillar #4: Get organised How could a better organisation support your success?  Pillar #5: Adopt Self-Commandment Which commitments are you not following through fully?  Pillar #6: Cultivate A Growth Mindset What steps can you take today to tend to your growth mindset?     You can do this. Take purposeful action, one disciplined step after another, and I guarantee you will improve your results. Besides, your confidence will skyrocket.    I look forward to connecting with you next Monday. Until next time, live disciplined! I am sending you lots of love and light.

Would you describe yourself as a wantrepreneur? Or do you know someone who is a wantrepreneur? The term "wantrepreneur" refers to someone who desires to create their own business but hasn't been able to get started. Wantrepreneurs have fresh and creative ideas but lack the courage to take action and risks. In this episode, we discuss the barriers that might hinder you in your transition from a wantrepreneur to an entrepreneur and the strategies that can help you avoid them.Let me share with you why you might be stuck in the wantrepreneur stage:You find yourself fearful to either start your business or scale it to the next phase or the next big step. The best way to start conquering your fear is to write down the things that you're fearful of if you were to start your business or if you are deciding to take your business to the next level.You fear being judged by others. It's important to understand that the reason they have something to say about you is that they're projecting their own insecurities about starting a business on you or they don't have the ability to help you with this path in life that you've decided to take.You don't know where to start. Do the right thing by seeking out podcasts and YouTube videos, mentors, and other resources to help you expedite your trajectory toward your goal.You lack capital or funding. Start your business with your own money first. Don't borrow money from others to experiment because you should be confident enough to use your own money to start.Don't forget to hit the bell and subscribe to my Youtube Channel!Send us a DM on Instagram at @bossitclubRemember, you got this!XOXO,Sophia A Team Dklutr Production

Many of us mistakenly believe that starting a side hustle while juggling a nine-to-five job is impossible and that we cannot successfully manage both responsibilities at the same time. It is not necessary to burn the boats right away. Keeping your nine-to-five is vital, not just for supporting your business but also as a safety net in case your side hustle or business fails. It's better to have a side hustle than to jump all in when starting a business.Let me share with you why you start the side hustle:Side hustles give you an extra income stream different from the one you get from your 9 to 5 job. Hence, even if you run into difficulties with your job, you won't completely lose your source of income. A side hustle will give you extra income to supplement your income as the cost of living has increased substantially!  Start a side business in an area that piques your interest. You are given the opportunity to do something that brings you joy while also continuously relying on your main source of financial support. The extra income that you earned from a side hustle is just a bonus!Don't forget to hit the bell and subscribe to my Youtube Channel!Send us a DM on Instagram at @bossitclubRemember, you got this!XOXO,Sophia A Team Dklutr Production

Progress is not always linear; there are times when we need to step back before striving again. Setbacks are a natural part of the process of our success. We need to grow, learn, and improve. So my mantra has always been "Two Steps Forward One Step Back." But how do I define this in the context of business?This mantra sets realistic expectations and maintains a mindset of making room for improvement.It helps in navigating the ups and downs of business with grace and strength.It makes us realize that setbacks are okay. Remember, business is a marathon, not a sprint.

Passion is not enough in achieving success. You also need a productive mindset to help you set goals. But how do we cultivate that productive mindset? Let me share with you three strategies that can help in establishing success and optimizing our productivity.1. Set up the night before. Planning the night before can help create a systemic routine for our day-to-day needs. When we plan ahead, we ensure that the things we need are ready and in place. Even the smallest details that are often overlooked can be properly attended by planning the night before.2. Identify your priority to-do list and categorize what should be done for the day and the others that can be accomplished for the succeeding days. You cannot finish everything within a day, so it's important to also schedule your tasks and see which can be accomplished in a short period of time and which needs more thorough work.3. Assess the day you just had. Looking back on how your day went helps you to see an overview of the completed and missed tasks from your to-do list. This allows you to review your performance for the day and see what needs to be improved. Also, you may work on rescheduling your missed tasks and do the necessary adjustments needed to accomplish all your deliverables.

What are a few common pitfalls for entrepreneurs and how can you avoid them! 1. Not Enough Money! Many first-time entrepreneurs will give up as they need capital to start their business and then a steady income to manage daily expenses.  My suggestion is not to quit your stable income right away and start your business as a side hustle. I personally started Also Sophia.2. Afraid of Competition! Many quit or never start their business because they are scared of other businesses as competition. If you can reframe competition in business as a great way for you to refine your product or service to meet the challenge to solve your customer's problem better than any other business, then business competition can be seen as a game. This will help improve the products offered by businesses and prevent monopolies. 3. Afraid of Failure! Many do not start to give up as they are afraid to fail. If you can reframe to look at “failures” as lessons. Then, make sure you assess the “failure”. Was the goal too unrealistic and do you need a few smaller goals before the big goal? Or did you not set yourself up for success with resources? Look analytically at the “failure” and draw out the lessons.4. No Support! Feeling alone on the entrepreneurship journey can make it harder to navigate all the potential ups and downs if you do not have a supportive family or community. My suggestion is to find a group of like-minded individuals who will understand your drive to pursue a business. Remember, it may not be fair to your family and friends to support you if they do not have any experience in business and may feel overwhelmed by the risk. Remember, if you have a vision for your business, you have everything in your power to make it happen. And no one else can really tell you otherwise!  Check out our episode on goal setting for the new year here Successful Goal Setting in 2023!Remember, you got this!Sophia A Team Dklutr Production

It's January 2023 and it's time to talk about goal setting! What is the significance to January 1st? It's just any other date, right? Yes.. it is … but culturally, we have used the first of January as a starting point to frame our goals. Here are a few tips on how to make sure you set your goals up for success in 2023! Look to your North Star to guide you in your goal setting. What is the real reason you have committed to keeping your goal? It is helpful to align your goal with something other than money alone. Aligning your goal to an external cause will help keep you inspired to push forward when goals take longer to accomplish.Connect your goal to an already established routine. For example, if you want to take daily walks in 2023, the act of putting on your running shoes after your last daily meeting will help you move towards that goal of daily walks. Breaking down your goals into tangible single steps like putting on your running shoes, will help you move towards your goal. No schedule your small bit size steps into your day to bring you even closer to executing your goal!You will have days when you will need a break and may miss a day. Be kind to yourself and let yourself have some grace BUT get back on track! Tap into your North Star again and this will help propel you back into action. You should not let “getting off track” as an excuse to give up! Stop procrastination in 2023- check out my best secrets to prevent procrastination: How to Stop ProcrastinatingRemember You Got This!SophiaA Team Dklutr Production

Business takes patience and the “get rich quick” mantras do not work. Sorry…even if you make a quick win, can you replicate it again? Remember business may look easier on the surface than many would like to admit to! Here are a few tips to get you on the right track to help build your patience as you march through the entrepreneurial journey and not give up! Set expectations with yourself that the goal you have in mind might take longer to accomplish that you had previously thought. Remember, there are no “get rich quick” options and if someone is selling this rhetoric, they are likely trying to “get rich quick” off of you! Ask for help and delegate out tasks so you will not burn out on your entrepreneurial journey. Setting expectations with others as well, regarding delegated acts or boundaries will also help prevent you from burnout! This also applies to anyone who is working a traditional 9-5 too! How to Prioritize My To-Do List [AND Reduce The OVERWHELM] Tell those that you trust your big goals so you hold yourself accountable and start making micro steps consistently. I share an example from my personal story of telling close family and friends that I was intentional with our first product line getting into Walmart. Remember you got this and subscribe and follow!Find us on Instagram at @bossitclubXO,Sophia A Team Dklutr Production

You do not need to quit your 9 to 5 and it is ok to complete a side hustle! Do you agree or disagree?  Why do I believe this? Well… Running a business is like completing a series of experiments. You do not know what will work and what will not work out. By allowing yourself to continue with your contingency plan of the 9 to 5, you are allowing yourself the opportunity to experiment with what you like and what you dislike, what will work and what will not work, without feeling too overwhelmed and stressed. A founder example is Phil Knight who owned and founded Nike. Go grab the book by Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of Nike from Audible.Having a 9 to 5 job will allow you a stable income so you have less stress at the beginning of your entrepreneurial journey regarding cash flow. The reduced stress will allow you to become more creative in your business, as stress naturally hinders creativity and innovation. A stable income will also allow you to provide for your family and reduce the guilt that comes along for many when starting a new business. Working a 9 to 5 at the beginning stages of your side hustle will allow for decisions based on logic versus emotions, as cash flow will be more stable personally. You will not take on clients and customers that you did not hope for, and only provide products and services for your most ideal clients and customers.If you can manage your time and energy, you can definitely start a side hustle while working 9 to 5 and still have time for family and friends! And then, when you're ready and you know your side hustle can become the real deal… then burn the boats and jump all in!! Let me know what you think!

Hit Follow, Subscribe, and the Bell so you don't miss a thing!With so many dependents, time management is a skill that you can master!As many of you know, I have a booming side hustle Also Sophia LTD (on Walmart shelves currently), working my 9-5 currently and yes, I am a MOM! I'm not telling you all of this to brag, but to give you context on why time management is so important for me to manage the time in my day.Here are my best tips that you can put into action!Choose the best time to complete your deliverables that will align with your, energy level, attention, and creativity. For example, I will do high-priority deliverables that require a high level of attention between the hours of 10 am to 12 pm when my attention and energy are at the peak of the day. Segmenting your day will help you not only manage your time but also your energy level so you make the most out of the time that you have! “Remember, you own your calendar, your calendar doesn't own you”.Segment the days of your week. Chuck out your daily theme for the day of the week to help you get into the daily flow. For those who work from home, this would help you manage the time on the road, by completing all in-person meetings in one day (if possible). For example, I have all external community meetings on Thursdays and all internal meetings on Tuesdays and Fridays. This leaves Mondays and Wednesdays as office/catch-up days.Do a Daily Shut Down, where you close your browser tabs, organize files, and take your inbox to ZERO! This will help you segment your day so your “work life” doesn't run into your Home Life or social calendar. If there is an item that is not completed or a to-do that didn't get completed, I schedule time for this item into my calendar! Let me know what you think!

Do this for your business and personal as well! Follow the Predo's Principle! A small amount of your input will result in a larger amount of your output! This means 20% of your products or services will lead to 80% of your profits. Figure out the most profitable products and spend your attention elevating those products and liquidate or stop offering the rest!

Today let's chat about the 3 C's that every business owner should possess to better your mental health.  1st C - Consistency: It will take time to reach your goals and it is unlikely that you will find success overnight. If you do find success overnight, you are one of the few that will! Being consistent will allow you the time required to build a brand and community around your offer and this will result in better business success! One great strategy for accomplishing consistency is to establish small actionable goals.2nd C - Curiosity: If you have the capacity to be curious about your business, you will be able to create and innovate in your business. Curiosity will also allow you to be more open-minded and willing to experiment. You will need to innovate in your business for your business to continue to evolve and level up so curiosity is essential!  3rd C - Compassion: Being compassionate towards yourselves and others is essential for your mental health. You will make mistakes in business and if you can remind yourself that you are human, not only will you feel at ease to take risks and show up consistently, your mental health will be stronger!Remember to follow and hit subscribe!Follow us on Instagram @bossitclub and we will catch you next week!XO,Sophia A Team Dklutr Production

For a successful business, you need to focus on Money, Mindset, and Marketing! Today I share my thoughts on all three topics and why you need to ensure you're focusing on all three at once!Why do we want to focus on all three domains in business? Well if you don't make money in your business, it's not a business. How do you make money? Well, you need to sell your product or service. Sales only can occur if the ideal client or customer knows about the product or service. This is where marketing comes into play. Finally, the mindset of the business owner will always drive the business toward the ultimate vision and goal for the business. It is the owner's psychology that will dictate the growth of the business. If you have any doubts, check out Jeff Bezos and his relentlessness towards Amazon's ultimate goal! So you might be thinking... “Ok… well what is the easiest way to market”. Currently, the answer is influencer marketing through social media! This is the best Return On your Investment (ROI).Check out the free training here on how we made our product-based businesses Also Sophia blow up and hit Walmart shelves using Influencer Marketing -https://www.bossitclub.com/IMMEA few additional marketing options are collaborations and networking with other businesses. Remember, lead with the mindset that your ultimate goal or vision for the company will happen, and you are more likely to make this true as you will have fewer inhibitions to pitch and sell your product!Here are a few more great episodes:Episode 33 speaks to the metrics you should be measuring in your business Episode 82 speaks to the psychology of the business owner! You Got This! XO,SophiaA Team Dklutr Production

Time for me to reveal a few of my scheduling life hacks! Trust me, if you asked my friends and family, they are surprised that I haven't forgotten to pick up my kids from school with all of the responsibilities that I have going on. This episode will tell you how I keep myself organized! Check in with myself regularly - I know what time of the day I do my best work. For me, I work best between 10 am to 2 pm…ask yourself what time of the day best suits your energy rhythm. Are there specific times of the day that you are more creative and will it serve you and your business to save “creative time” in your schedule? Organize my schedule the night before - I literally sit down at night, before the next morning start, and ensure I have studied my calendar to understand what to expect regarding deliverables and meetings. I will take my digital calendar commitments and copy these into my paper agenda to prime and prep myself psychologically for the next day Block my schedule to complete deliverables each day. One deliverable is actually answering all my emails. I will only complete 3 big items each day. To qualify a task as one of the “big 3”, the item must take more than 30 minutes to complete and require a greater level of attention to execute. And if you're a time optimist and underestimate the time it takes to complete a task, multiply the time by 2 when estimating your time block length.

Time to start talking about your mental health, specifically anxiety and how it shows up in your business!I want to provide you 4 tips on how to understand your anxiety and how it might be showing up in your business and how you then need to manage it! Tip 1: Acknowledge the anxiety. Ensure you understand that experiencing anxiety is completely normal and it is required for survival. Where it is not normal is when your anxiety is preventing you from experiences that you enjoy. The goal is to take your functional anxiety and channel it into your next project!Tip 2: Use your anxiety as your internal compass. Is your anxiety telling you to slow down, or speed up? For example, is your anxiety is high because you are fearful to take that next step in your career or business? Why is that? Do you need to understand more about the next steps, or prepare more before moving forward? What is the anxiety trying to tell you?Tip 3: Use your anxiety to drive you into momentum. If you're having a moment of high anxiety and you're unable to focus, then complete an activity you enjoy to release that high energy, such as going for a walk, listening to music, or working out. Once your energy or anxiety has stabilized, then use that energy to focus on that goal or task. Tip 4: Is your anxiety hindering your quality of life? Be honest with yourself and ask if your anxiety is preventing you from continuing with regular daily activities you enjoy? Do you feel that your anxiety could be coming from past experiences? If so, it is completely acceptable to have a mental health therapist who can professionally provide you with support! Remember, anxiety is a “normal” part of life and you may be facing an increased level of anxiety if you're jumping into a new experience such as starting a business! And remember, you got this! Head to bossitclub.com for more business support! XO,Sophia NoreenA Team Dklutr Production

How to start again in business? It can be so difficult if things don't work out the first time in business, or if you need to take a pause in business and you now need to “start again”.I want to share with you 3 tips on how to start over again in business so it's easier to hit “restart” or “unpause”. 1. Change your perspective of your business and look at it as an experiment. You will have a hypothesis, or educated guess, or what will work and then you will take action and test your educated guess. You will measure the results in your business, such as volume of sales, or conversion rate on your website and see what will work. Even if your experiment does not work, you have still gained valuable knowledge regarding what will work and what will not in the future. You can use the knowledge and experience from any past business or experiment and apply it to your future business strategies!2. What transferable skills can you take from your past experience in business or in other areas of your life, which you can apply to your present-day situation. A common skill that many of us may not notice is the ability to delegate tactfully to our family members and then use the same skill to delegate to team members. Look at different domains in your life and see what skills you can borrow and apply to your business. 3. Take a business break-in place from the start. Do not get all consumed by your business and place boundaries between your business and life's other domains. Be mindful of your time, energy and space and ensure you have boundaries for each domain. For example, ensure you have a space in your house that will be free from the “business” and work on your business when your energy is at it's best. Remember, it is completely reasonable to take a “pause” in your business or if required press “restart”. If you can reframe your perspective using these tips, you will feel more energised and ready to jump back into action!You got this!XO,SophiaA Team Dklutr Production
