Are you constantly busy but never feel accomplished? Farra Trompeter, co-director, and Kishshana Palmer, author, discuss Kishshana's book, Busy Is a Four-Letter Word: A Guide to Achieving More by Doing Less, what it means to work smarter, not harder, and offer practical insights for how personal development is professional development

In this energizing episode of Transform Your Workplace, keynote speaker and author Peggy Sullivan delivers a much-needed wake-up call for today's overwhelmed professionals. Sharing insights from her book Beyond Busyness: How to Achieve More by Doing Less, Peggy explores the hidden costs of glorifying busyness. Through heartfelt stories, she challenges leaders to rethink their priorities and model healthier, more intentional work habits. If you're a leader who feels stretched too thin, this episode is your invitation to lead differently — listen in and discover how doing less can help you and your team achieve more.   TAKEAWAYS Busyness is often mistaken for productivity but usually leads to poor quality, low energy, and burnout. Time poverty—lacking time for what matters—is a widespread challenge among professionals. Overstuffed schedules and constant multitasking reduce effectiveness and increase mistakes. Email and communication overload are major distractions that hinder meaningful work. Chronic busyness contributes to loneliness, disengagement, and health issues. Leaders who model intentional time management set a healthier tone for their teams. Eliminating low-value tasks is essential to creating space for high-impact work. Happiness is found in everyday micro-moments, not in achieving big milestones.   A QUICK GLIMPSE INTO OUR PODCAST 

1 "They're all at that party without me… I've got such bad FOMO." The fear of missing out, or 'FOMO', is what you might feel when you aren't present when something exciting or enjoyable is happening. This anxiety is rife in the age of social media, where we're exposed to an avalanche of updates about other people's holidays, social events and achievements. Many find themselves comparing their lives to others', forgetting that social media is often a smokescreen, where we only see the highlight reel and a veneer of perfection. 1“他们在没有我的情况下都在那个聚会上……我有这么糟糕的FOMO。” 当您不存在激动人心或令人愉悦的事情时，您可能会感到害怕错过或“ FOMO”。 在社交媒体时代，这种焦虑盛行，我们接触到有关他人假期，社交活动和成就的雪崩。 许多人发现自己将自己的生活与他人进行比较，而忘记了社交媒体通常是烟幕，我们只能看到精彩片段的卷轴和完美的单板。 2 As an antidote to this constant pressure, many are embracing 'JOMO' – the joy of missing out. According to Svend Brinkmann, author of 'The Joy of Missing Out: The Art of Self-Restraint in an Age of Excess', the difference is that where FOMO gets us to worry about things outside of the present moment, JOMO brings us back to the here and now, encouraging us to enjoy life offline with people we truly care about. Embracing JOMO means switching off outside noise and focusing on what really brings us happiness. So, how can we stop FOMO from rearing its ugly head? 2作为对这种不断压力的解毒剂，许多人拥抱了“ Jomo” - 错过的乐趣。 根据“错过的喜悦：在过度时代的自我遏制的艺术”的作者Svend Brinkmann的说法，不同之处在于，Fomo让我们担心当下之外的事情，Jomo将我们带回这里和现在，鼓励我们与我们真正关心的人一起享受生活。 拥抱Jomo意味着关闭外部噪音，专注于真正带给我们幸福的原因。 那么，我们如何阻止FOMO抬起其丑陋的头？ 3 In her book 'The Joy of Missing Out: Live More by Doing Less', Tanya Dalton suggests making a list of activities that bring you joy and displaying them somewhere obvious to remind you to include them in your day. She also suggests a regular digital detox and carving out time for self-care, whether that's a warm bath, a solo nature walk or your favourite movie. Kristen Fuller, a physician and mental health writer, says it's about being intentional with your time. This involves scheduling activities which are important to you and practising saying "no" to people if you feel like their request will have a negative impact on you. 3 Tanya Dalton在她的书《错过的喜悦：通过少做更多的生活》中，建议制定一系列活动，使您感到高兴并在某个地方展示它们，以提醒您将它们包括在您的一天中。 她还建议定期进行数字排毒，并为自我保健赚取时间，无论是温暖的浴缸，自然漫步还是您最喜欢的电影。 医师和心理健康作家克里斯汀·富勒（Kristen Fuller）说，这是关于您的时间有意的。 这涉及安排对您很重要的活动，如果您觉得他们的要求会对您产生负面影响，这对您来说很重要。 4 A 2019 article by Ana Jorge, published in Social Media + Society looked into the experiences of people who purposefully disconnect from social media. Some of them felt they were living more mindfully, and that the disconnection allowed them to be more creative and productive. About JOMO, one participant told researchers, "I don't have to be everywhere, I don't have to be with everyone and I don't have to know everything." Perhaps it's time to unplug and try living life in the slow lane. 4 Ana Jorge的2019年文章在社交媒体 +社会上发表，研究了故意与社交媒体断开连接的人们的经历。 他们中的一些人觉得自己的生活更加思考，并且断开连接使他们变得更具创造力和富有成效。 关于乔莫（Jomo），一位参与者告诉研究人员：“我不必到处都是，我不必和所有人在一起，也不需要一切。” 也许是时候解开插头并尝试在慢速道路上生活了。

How can you reclaim your power in a job that's just “good enough”?It turns out The Perfect Job isn't nearly as common as the LinkedIn posts would have us believe. Most of us spend our working hours in a job that's okay but far from perfect. The good news is that you can thrive in a just-okay career if you embrace the art of “leading yourself.” In this episode, I sit down with Elizabeth Lotardo to talk about this very concept, which doubles as the title of her new book, Leading Yourself. Elizabeth has spent years helping people at all different stages of their careers discover the potential that awaits when they stop pursuing perfection and begin taking charge of the job they're already in.Learn to maximize the job you already have by uncovering:The reason we feel like we're failing if we aren't holding out for the perfect job;Why it can be empowering to “give up on the dream” of getting a paycheck from our passionHow small changes in your day-to-day can make a huge difference;And when you might need to phone it in before you fall apart.Related Links:Leading Yourself: Find More Joy, Meaning, and Opportunities in the Job You Already Have (Despite Imperfect Bosses, Weird Economies, Lethargic Coworkers, Annoying Systems, and Too Many Deliverables) - https://bookshop.org/p/books/leading-yourself-elizabeth-lotardo/20999467?ean=9781394238705&next=tElizabeth's website - https://www.elizabethlotardo.com/Follow Elizabeth on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethlotardoDrop the Ball: Achieving More by Doing Less by Tiffany Dufu - https://bookshop.org/p/books/drop-the-ball-achieving-more-by-doing-less-tiffany-dufu/8440970LEVEL UP: a Leadership Accelerator for Women on the Rise - https://www.bossedup.org/levelupBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/

If you're feeling overwhelmed by your schedule, struggling to make time for yourself, or stuck in the cycle of constant busyness, this episode with Peggy Sullivan is for you—learn how to break free, take back control, and start living with more intention.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/peggy-sullivanIn this episode of Even Tacos Fall Apart, Peggy Sullivan joins us to break down the high cost of busyness and how to take back control of our time, happiness, and mental health. Peggy is a keynote speaker, author, and consultant who's spent years researching the effects of busyness and helping people escape the never-ending hustle. Her book, Beyond Busyness: How to Achieve More by Doing Less, lays out a simple but powerful three-step “busy busting” methodology that's already changed lives.We kicked off the conversation with Peggy's mantra: “I am enough. I have enough. I got this.” She created this saying for herself, and it serves as a reminder that we already have what we need to succeed—we just have to believe it. We also talked about her personal passions, including hot yoga and cold plunges (which, honestly, sound like a nightmare to me, but she swears by them!).Peggy explained why so many of us struggle to prioritize self-care. Society glorifies busyness as a status symbol, making us think that being overbooked equals being successful. We also get a little rush of adrenaline when we cross something off a to-do list, even if that thing wasn't important. That's why busyness becomes addictive. But here's the kicker—research shows that 75% of Americans feel overwhelmed by their schedules and don't know how to slow down, and 64% skip basic self-care (like eating meals and getting enough sleep) because they're “too busy.” Worse yet, 76% of those who identify as overly busy aren't even happy.So how do we break free? Peggy shared her three-step busy busting process:Subtraction: Cut out low-value activities that drain time without adding anything meaningful. Doom scrolling, email rabbit holes, and unnecessary multitasking are some of the biggest culprits.Mojo Making: Replace that busyness high with intentional happiness rituals. Whether it's savoring a piece of chocolate, taking a walk, or making time for a real connection, small moments of joy add up.Values Vibing: Align your decisions with your core values. Peggy's research identified four values that lead to a fulfilling life: human connection, energy management, growth, and authenticity. When you prioritize these, it becomes easier to say no to the noise and yes to what truly matters.We also talked about the long-term mental health impacts of busyness—like forgetfulness, burnout, and strained relationships. Peggy shared a wake-up call from her own life: after working late one night, she accidentally ate her cat's food instead of her own because she was too exhausted to notice. That moment made her realize just how much her busy lifestyle was costing her.Peggy left us with some solid advice: Try the alternative. Cut one or two things that aren't serving you and see how it feels. No one she's worked with has ever regretted slowing down and making more space for what truly matters. She encourages everyone to stop letting busyness steal their joy. Life is richer, healthier, and more meaningful when we step off the hamster wheel.

Class is back in session, ladies!    Once again, Sarah's sharing study notes from her graduate courses at Concordia University Irvine's Townsend Institute for Counseling and Leadership. In this episode on focus and productivity, drawn largely from Michael Hyatt's Free to Focus: A Total Productivity System to Achieve More by Doing Less, she covers how to:    STOP. This is where we Formulate, Evaluate, and Rejuvenate.  CUT. This is where we Eliminate, Automate, and Delegate.  ACT. This is where we Consolidate, Designate, and Activate.  “Putting some of these concepts into action has helped me so much with focusing my work and productivity – and letting go of the ‘hustle-productivity-do-all-the-things-at-once' culture,” says Sarah.   “We stress ourselves out about doing 'all the things' and just need a reminder that it's okay to not do 'all the things.' We aren't called to do that. We're called to serve each other in love because we are forgiven children of God, and that in itself gives us a lot of freedom.”  Connect with the Lutheran Ladies on social media in The Lutheran Ladies' Lounge Facebook discussion group (facebook.com/groups/LutheranLadiesLounge) and on Instagram @lutheranladieslounge.

Register for "A Night with Teacher Tina" on January 28th at 7:00 pm CT HERE!!Do you ever feel like you're not living in the moment? It's probably because you need to “Do Less.” And doing less isn't what you think it is- I'm not telling you to quit everything you're doing or do the bare minimum. It simply comes down to living in the moment you are in presently, allowing yourself to enjoy the now instead of worrying about what happened 5 minutes prior or whatever task you have ahead of you. The concept of doing less can actually take you more places because- once you master this skill- you'll feel less burnt out, less stressed, and more satisfied with yourself. Trust me when I say this isn't something you learn to do overnight- in fact, it's still something I'm working on after years of practice! I've seen a drastic change in my mental health and overall happiness by doing less, taking a step back, and reminding myself to be present and calm. The truth is, no one can work at full efficiency 24/7 without reaching a breaking point so my best advice to dental hygiene students is to master how to do less.

If you audit your time and where you're spending it, are those areas productive? I guarantee you, 100% of the time, it's not. In fact, only 20% of our time is actually spent on productive work. We need to flip the ratio to make 70% of our time productive.” “Business is personal because it involves people.” “What's ordinary to you is magic to other people.” “Actions speak louder than words. People want to be shown, not told.” “The more you affirm someone, the better it is for the relationship.” “The best leaders I've ever known have been the ones who, when something goes wrong, take the blame, even though they're not at fault. And when things go right, they pass the praise on, even if they were the one who did it right.” BOOKS MENTIONED: The Five Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts by Gary Chapman (https://a.co/d/eR7Gpkd) One Word That Will Change Your Life by Jon Gordon (https://a.co/d/guS9X66) 10x Is Easier Than 2x: How World-Class Entrepreneurs Achieve More by Doing Less by Dan Sullivan, Dr. Benjamin Hardy (https://a.co/d/cKuQfF5) Keep Your Love on: Connection, Communication and Boundaries by Danny Silk (https://a.co/d/6rSfk4e) PODCASTS MENTIONED: The Ed Mylett Show (https://tinyurl.com/TheEdMylettShowPodcast) Tell Us a Good Story with Kevin and Stephanie Mason (https://tinyurl.com/TellUsAGoodStoryPodcast) USEFUL RESOURCES: https://marriedentrepreneur.co/  https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertfukui/  https://www.linkedin.com/in/kayleefukui/  https://www.instagram.com/thrivingintandem/ https://www.facebook.com/robert.fukui  https://www.facebook.com/kaylee.mullerfukui https://www.thetandembook.com/ “Tandem: The Married Entrepreneurs' Guide for Greater Work-Life Balance”  (https://a.co/d/2lxzGrg) Thriving in Tandem Podcast (https://tinyurl.com/ThrivingInTandemPodcast)  CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://thejohnhulen.com  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen  Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/johnhulen   LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen     YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA  EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/ 

Hello dear listener,As you know, the lunar cycle helps us pay attention because it's always changing. Lunar tracking shows us how to find our own rhythm and energy amidst the fluctuations. It reminds us that we don't have to fix ourselves - and can actually help us feel empowered to be more in-season with where we are at currently. On today's episode I have the pleasure of speaking with published author and coach Vanessa Wright about ways to feel empowered and flow with life's challenges and how pausing can lead to transformation. She shares about how her practice of lunar tracking and purposefully seeing joy supported her through perimenopause to menopause, and the lasting effects this had on her creativity and view of cycles and seasons.In our conversation Vanessa describes her experience of returning to her ancestral lands in Italy and a powerful Moonstory that marks a major turning-point in her journey. Moonstories are what I like to call the moments in our lives when the presence of the moon was witnessing us at a pivotal crossroads. In these moments, we can feel like we are actually not alone and may receive new insight to continue on our path. I loved what she shared and I hope it inspires you to notice your own Moonstory moments. We muse about the reliability of the moon - especially when things can feel unmoored or like everyone else is relying on us and we need something that can hold us - in this case during big life initiations like menopause. This is a great episode for moms and people in caretaking roles who want to feel more inspired to find five minutes a day to connect with themselves to reduce stress and invite more awareness and magic. There are some incredible insights we shared about not having to do it “right” with the moon, but being curious and noticing patterns to sense our own energy. Join us as we explore practices that are replenishing, but aren't always the same - as we cycle through different stages of life. Vanessa is a certified life coach, writer, seasoned homeschooling mom, and speaker dedicated to empowering midlife mothers through her FLOW method. She helps women reclaim their energy, creativity, and joy by fostering sustainable self-care practices. In this episode she gives us a glimpse of her FLOW self-care method and the benefits of awareness at each stage of life.Feed your body, mind, spiritLove yourself and lean into your season of lifeOwn your time and spaceWeed out what's not working and welcome something new. Vanessa is a former contributor to the popular The Homeschool Mom blog. Since 2017, she has served as the special projects and content associate at Big Life Journal. Vanessa loves journals, stickers, pens, 80s/90s music, and reading five books at a time.

What if you could create mind-blowing improvements in your performance and life with minimal effort every day? In this episode, we introduce Kaizen—the Japanese philosophy of small, consistent improvements that has fueled massive success in industries like manufacturing.

Lean Thinking: Banish Waste and Create Wealth in Your Corporation. Simon & Schuster, 2003.Kaizen is closely associated with Lean management and Six Sigma, frameworks widely used to reduce waste and improve efficiency. For more on these, consider reading Lean Thinking by James Womack, which gives an in-depth look into how these concepts can help businesses grow and thrive.Einstein's Quote on Compounding InterestThe attribution of the quote “Compounding interest is the eighth wonder of the world” to Albert Einstein is widely debated, and there's no definitive evidence that he actually said it. Whether or not Einstein said it, the principle behind it is incredibly powerful. By making small, consistent improvements—just like compounding interest—you can see exponential growth in almost any area of life.Compounding Interest and 1% Daily ImprovementIf you improve by just 1% every day, that adds up much faster than most people expect. Over the course of a year, those 1% gains can compound into something like 37 times better performance. While this example simplifies things a bit, the principle of compounding is key here. It's about getting a little better each day and letting those gains multiply over time.Pareto Principle (80/20 Rule)Sanni, Anthony. The 80/20 Way to Productivity: Do More by Doing Less.

Alan Versteeg, an engineer turned sales management expert, initially approached the sales world with skepticism, but soon turned it into a thriving career by applying the engineering principles of cause and effect to sales and sales management. This success led him to co-founding Growth Matters, where Alan and his team have developed over 2,000 sales managers across 45+ countries and diverse industries.  Known for his candid and light-hearted approach, Alan's passion for the sales profession shines through in his insightful talks, leaving audiences engaged with his wisdom, expertise, and memorable one liners.  Questions · Now, could you start by sharing with our listeners a little bit about your journey, how it is that you got from where you were to where you are today. · Can you share with us maybe two overarching themes that you try to help sales professionals master in terms of their mindset, to get them to where you need them to be in order to master their sales? · What are some barriers that you believe a lot of salespeople face, why it is you believe they're not successful? · Now, Alan, could you also share with our listeners, what's the one online resource, tool, website or application that you absolutely can't live without in your business? · Can you also share with our listeners maybe two books that you've read? It could be a book that you read recently, or even one that you read a very long time ago, but it still has had a great impact on you. · Could you also share with us what's the one thing that's going on in your life right now that you are really excited about, either something you're working on to develop yourself or your people. · Where can listeners find you online? · Just want to ask you as well, Alan, in your experience, in the journey of your lifetime, if you have a quote or saying that during times of adversity or challenge, if for any reason, you got derailed. Do you have a quote or a saying that once repeated or just remembered it helps to get you back on track? Highlights Alan's Journey Me: Now, could you start by sharing with our listeners a little bit about your journey, how it is that you got from where you were to where you are today.   Alan shared that he started as an electronic engineer, it wasn't his fault, he grew up watching Airwolf Night Rider and MacGyver, so he thought that's what he'd be doing. Unfortunately, he lost his dad when he was quite young, he was about 12 years old, but he was an engineer, so he thought that'd be a good thing to do. But he was doing it for about 3 years after graduating, and he read a book called You're Born an Original, Don't Die a Copy by John Mason, and he said, “If you passionately hate what you're doing for more than 2 weeks, you need to stop,” and he'd been doing it for two years. And a friend of his suggested he goes into sales, which he then tried and please if your listeners don't drop off now, but he got asked to leave his first sales jobs, but it was frustrating. As an engineer, he believed in cause and effect. He believes that there's things you do that get you certain outcomes. He was doing everything they told him to do, but he couldn't find a way to get through, he'd be good at his product, he was passionate to what he was doing, but he wasn't able to succeed.  And then he worked under a manager, he said to him, “Alan, is sales a job or a profession?” So, he knew the right answer, the right answer was, it's a profession. And he said, “Well, how hard did you study for this profession?”  And then the penny drops, and from there on out, been a passionate reader, 50 to 60 books a year, generally related to psychology, self-development and sales and over time, realized that the big change in sales is sales management, and that's a short view of his journey to where he was and how he got here.   Mindset Needed for Sales Professionals Me: Now you deal with a lot of sales professionals, and I can imagine it starts with their mindset. Can you share with us maybe two overarching themes that you try to help sales professionals master in terms of their mindset, to get them to where you need them to be in order to master their sales?   Alan stated that it's a great question, and it speaks to the tone of your podcast. So, the first mindset they have to own is that “Selling won't help, but helping will sell.” That the sale is the reward for an intent to create value. And that's the starting point when we realize that we are service orientated, that we're there to drive value into the client's business or life, that there's something specifically we're trying to do, that were truthfully customer centric it's not just a word, and we realize that selling won't help, but helping will sell.  You'll find that salespeople do really well. There's a wonderful book called Selling With Noble Purpose: How to Drive Revenue and Do Work That Makes You Proud by Lisa Earle McLeod, and it shows the research behind the top performing sales professionals globally sell with that noble purpose, with an idea to serve. So, it's definitely one of them.  The second one is probably an extension, he said to sales professionals, “If you believe in the product you sell and you believe it can add value to the person you're serving, then it would be borderline negligent to avoid offering them that value.”  Many salespeople, specifically today are fearful of cold calling or proactive sales calling or reaching out or picking up a phone or speaking to someone, and they take on a very much non-human sales approach, as opposed to going, “I believe, with certainty and conviction that what I have to offer will make their lives or their business easier, and I'm here to help, and helping will sell. So, I'm going to depart from that point.”  And what you find is doing that, apart from that point, the skills, the body language, all the risks that start to develop quite naturally, but often we avoid that, we try to train the skill, but we avoid the mindset.   Barriers To Overcome as Salespeople Me: So, once you tackle their mindset, now you have to ensure that what they're selling, as you mentioned before, is actually helping the customer and adding value to the customer's life. What are some barriers that you believe a lot of salespeople face, why it is you believe they're not successful?   Alan shared that he thinks the big barrier specifically in professional selling is conviction of the value proposition, and before that is clarity. And he'll give a couple of examples.   When he speaks to business leaders, they often say to him, “You know what Alan, the challenge with our sales teams are they just don't understand our value proposition.”  And he says, okay, great. What is your value proposition? And they struggle to articulate it. Now, if you think about this, why is it that entrepreneurs can sell quite effectively without ever having been trained in that skill, and the reality is they have clarity and conviction of their value proposition. He thinks with many sales professionals, we're teaching them the product, we're not teaching them the impact it has on the customer's life.  Once we buy into the impact, once we have the conviction, selling is a natural part of how we are as humans and Dan Pink wrote that book To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Moving Others.  And his (Alan) example is we have a brand over there, it's called Woolworths, it's a high-quality brand, high quality food brand. And if you said to anyone, “But why shopping in Woolworths? They're so expensive.” They dive into a defense, without being paid by this company, they will sell very hard the value of doing that.  The same could be said for someone who's an Apple phone fan. And he can continue, once we have conviction of something, the ability and need to persuade is actually quite natural. So, he thinks what's missing from an individual's perspective is that conviction of the mindset.  From a corporate, it's the fact that we speak about customer centricity, but none of our measurement metrics or meetings actually align to that.   Me: Now, I found that in a lot of organizations, they're heavily sales driven, right? I find it as a customer service trainer when companies hire me to come in and train their team, especially the leadership teams in customer service, or even customer experience design or customer journey mapping, there's a lot of emphasis that I hear them talking that they have these exorbitant sales targets to meet on a month to month basis, and with these targets that they have to meet, they don't have as much time to give to customer centricity or to give to the experience, because it's all about meeting the target. How do you strike that balance as a salesperson? What would be your recommendation?    Alan shared that there'd be two components. The first would be at an organizational lens, speaking to what you're saying. He thinks organizations have forgotten that when you take care of the customers, the number takes care of itself. So, we are so focused on the month, on the quarter, on the year, we're not focused on the value, and that's a shift that needs to happen.  But practically, the way that shift happens is in the account planning process, when we start treating our customers and accounts and saying, what is the value we're delivering. Many companies go, what more can we sell them? What's the white space we can sell into? What does that look like? And that's the big organizational.  From a salesperson's perspective, the only thing you can do is you need to figure out how to allocate your effort. And the way he says that is you have to beat everyone equally but handle them differently. You have to segment your customers, otherwise you can't take care of the ones that need to be taken care of, and your competitor is going to snatch them up. And in any sales business, he's ever worked with, if you lose, and it's generally about 10%, if you lose about 10% of your customers, you lose about 90% of your revenue.  But organizations are just focused what's the next sale, what's the next sale, what's the next sale? And what happens is, we're putting two barrels on the truck, and three barrels are falling off the truck because we're not focused on the customer service.  And we almost see it as something separate, and it's not. The way he articulates this is there's a thing called the value gap, it's the gap between what customers expect and what they experience. And it is everybody's job in the organization to close that gap.   It's not, “Hey, sales go set the expectation. Hey, service go and deliver against that expectation.” It's an organizational mindset that we exist to close the gap between the customers expect and what they experience.  And he thinks their leadership needs to start realizing that taking care of customers, the numbers take care of themselves, and that talking to a spreadsheet or talking to a CRM system or talking to data doesn't change people's behaviour.  So, leadership needs to take a different perspective on this and going, what is it we do now that lays the soil in the seeds for the numbers we need?   App, Website or Tool that Alan Absolutely Can't Live Without in His Business When asked about online resource that he can't live without in his business, Alan shared that right now ChatGPT. He thinks that we are negating its value in sales if we're using it incorrectly. So, he'll give you a context.  As salespeople, we need to be creative and optimistic, and we're not fans of admin. So, the good news for sales professionals is a lot of our admin is going to be replaced by technology, but that's going to leave a lot of sales professionals wanting because what do you do with the time that you used to spend putting your data. But he really leverages the tool to shorten his learning curve, understanding a customer, understanding what the challenges are, understanding key things. It's a tool to summarize, it doesn't replace him as it shouldn't, it enhances him.  And he was listening to one of Yanique's earlier podcasts, you talk about the human-to-human connection, and there's this thing now where we talk about human-to-human selling. And he's like, well, if you think human to human selling is new, then you haven't been around for millennia, because that's what it is. It's a human-to-human task enhanced by technology. But right now, if he talks about probably 60% to 70% of his time is given back to him because he knows to leverage ChatGPT.   Books that Have Had the Biggest Impact on Alan When asked about books that have had an impact, Alan shared that that's a tough question with all the books he read, but he's going to give one that he always recommends. The first one is called The Slight Edge: Turning Simple Disciplines into Massive Success and Happiness by Jeff Olson, and the premise of the book is that simple disciplines practiced consistently over time, lead to a life of greatness, and simple errors in judgment made consistently over time, lead to a life of blame. There's no Hollywood moment, there's not one big movement, they're just simple disciplines. Look at any leader, any sports hero, any person who succeeds in their profession, they practice the disciplines. So, there's definitely one that guides his life.  And then the other one is a book called The ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth About Extraordinary Results by Gary Keller, and it's really about forgetting this construct of work life balance and finding out what's the one thing I can do such that by doing everything else is easier or unnecessary. And it talks about this work life counterbalance, and how you just keep the things that matter, you don't make them extreme fluctuations and the things that don't matter can be extreme. You can be heavily buried in a work project for three months, but during that time, don't forget your health, your family time, the things that matter. Just tone it down a bit, not all the way down. Those are two books, he'd say, personally, really drove him.  As a business professional, recently read that 10x Is Easier Than 2x: How World-Class Entrepreneurs Achieve More by Doing Less by Dan Sullivan, wonderful resource for anyone that's listening, that is an entrepreneur or business owner, 10x Is Easier Than 2x.   What Alan is Really Excited About Now! Me: Now, Alan, could you also share with us what's the one thing that's going on in your life right now that you are really excited about, either something you're working on to develop yourself or your people.   When asked about something that he's excited about, Alan shared that he's recently moved to a smaller coastal towns that's been really good for him personally, but the big thing happening for him business wise, is there's a very large global brand that they've managed to secure that's 10x'ing our business, which is a plan they had based on that book that he's read, and starting to see how that effort, energy and focus is paying off, is really rewarding. When you read a lot of books, you can get sometimes caught up in the story and not in the action.  And what's really great to see, in a proud moment for their business, is now really starting to take on some recognized global brands who are looking at effectively three guys from South Africa and saying, “We want to partner with you to do this.” So, it's a proud moment that's come, your overnight success is the longest night of your life.  But really what it's been powerful is seeing the practices that they put in place now starting to bear fruit. And when you say, take care of the customers, the number takes care itself, it's actually quite prolific, how?  And you know this, he's preaching to the converted, but when you understand that the only thing that matters is how customers experience you, then everything else becomes a lot easier, because their ability to grow is because they just have a track record where they phone a customer, and they love what they've done with them. And that doesn't mean it's easy to scale, it's still hard to scale. But he thinks that'd be the big thing right now, is seeing how by applying certain principles, you can stretch your own mindset, stretch your own goals, stretch your own vision for your business, and really start to play where you always believed you can.   Where can listeners find Alan online? LinkedIn – Alan Versteeg   Quote or Saying that During Times of Adversity Alan Uses When asked about a quote or saying that he tends to revert to, Alan shared that he has quite a few, but one of his favourites, because of its depth is, “How you do anything, is how you do everything.” And the reason that's so important is it's easy to be in a good mood when times are good, it's easy to be of a good character when times are good, it's easy to be a pleasant person when times are good, but when things are challenging, that's where your character gets tested.   And how you do anything, is how you do everything. And he says to leaders all the time, Richard Branson said it so well, “The best way to take care of your customers is to take care of your employees.” Because the minute you take care of the employees, the customers feel that. And it's because how you do anything, is how you do everything.  You can't be polite to your customers but rude to the person waiting at you at a restaurant or trying to help you at the airport. Airports are so fascinating because everyone complains to people who are really just trying to get you somewhere safely and within strict guidelines that people, they don't treat people well.  And he believes that how you do anything, is how you do everything. And in challenging times, that tests you, can I remain of good spirit? Can I remain a good demeanor? Can I remain patient as a person when things are difficult? Can I maintain my faith?  Because it's easy to maintain my faith when things are great, it's difficult when you're in the lion's den, and that's for him, a quote that just guides him and says, just remember, they still shape your character, this is a test of your character and a bad day for the ego, is a beautiful day for the soul. It's time to grow.   Me: Well, thank you, Alan, so much for hopping on this podcast and sharing all of these great insights with us. It was very insightful to understand your perspective as it relates to sales and customer service, and to reinforce a lot of what we do talk about on this podcast, Navigating the Customer Experience as it relates to ensuring that the customer experience is not just managed effectively on the outside, but it needs to start on the inside. And you said it beautifully when you gave Richard Branson's quote that if you take care of your people on the inside, and they'll definitely take care of your customers on the outside. So, I think it was a really great conversation and I just really wanted to extend our deepest gratitude for your participation in our conversation today.   Alan shared an extended thanks to Yanique and the work she's doing in this space. One of the things that he definitely picks up in everything Yanique shared, the customer experience is not a thing, it's a culture and when we actually realize this, everything becomes easier, because it seems obvious, it does take a lot of work, as you know, it's a profession. But when companies understand it, the only reason we exist is to create value for customers, then the customer experience is the report card.

When we think of CEOs of companies, our initial assumption is that they are very busy people with no time available for socializing. Sometimes, we even wonder how they manage to spend time with their families, friends, and hobbies. But what if I told you that if you want to be a CEO, there is a way to avoid that lifestyle and still have a life outside of this endeavor? In this episode, I have Dr. Jim Schleckser, founder of the CEO Project. We discuss how to achieve work-life balance and effective leadership. He emphasizes the Theory of Constraints, time delegation, schedule control, and workplace autonomy. Tune in and optimize your time now! --- Listen to the podcast here: Achieve More by Doing Less with Dr. Jim Schleckser  Welcome to Action's Antidotes, your antidote to the mindset that keeps you settling for less. Perhaps you're out there thinking, “Okay, I want something more, maybe I wanna try to move up some levels at my organization or I wanna start something on my own and be the CEO of my own company,” but then you're looking at other people who are high level CEOs or even other C-level and director-level executives and thinking, “I don't wanna be this busy. I don't want this lifestyle. I don't want the lifestyle where I don't have any time for my family, I don't have any time for my hobbies, I don't have any time to just relax and chill and enjoy myself,” and that can be a real daunting possibility here because you're thinking yourself, “Okay, I still want to be in charge of my own destiny a little bit or I still want to be something more than just a cog in a machine so how do I get there without giving up my entire life and not having a life outside of this particular endeavor?” And that's where my guest today, Jim Schleckser, who is the founder of The CEO Project, also a podcast host as well as a bestselling author who wrote the book Great CEOs Are Lazy comes into play here. ---   Jim, welcome to the program.   Thanks for having me, Stephen. I appreciate it.   Well, thanks for hopping on because I'm sure this is on a lot of people's minds, right? You know, an important person, whether it be rising to the top of the company you're already a part of or starting your own company and once you get somewhere, you're going to have a lot on your plate. What inspired you to start The CEO Project?    A number of years ago, I was doing acquisitions. I worked for a corporate entity and one of our strategies for growth was to buy companies. And I remember these two founders that I was about to buy their company for, I think it was $6 million, I'm like, man, oh man, these guys are not as smart as me, they don't work as hard, they've got four weeks of vacation every summer. I'm like, my gosh, I'm so much smarter than them, I go, wait a minute, I'm about to give them 6 million bucks and they get four weeks of vacation every year. I go, what's wrong with this picture? And at that moment, I said, look, really, for the same level of talent, you get a very different, meaning better outcome in terms of lifestyle control, economic outcome, and so forth, by running your own business. And at that point, I said, okay, that is the path I'm on. That was a decade at least before I jumped out and started my own business.    So you observed these guys start their own business and have way more autonomy over their lives and decided you want that. What did you experience when you first made that observation? Because you said there was some time of a gap between the two. Was there that similar anxiety of like, okay, how am I going to get there, that type of thing?    I had a plan, maybe just there was another element that drove it. I was a member of CEO peer groups for a long time as I ran various companies so this is a mastermind group that helps you think through your problems. So I was a member of one and I saw that people that were founder, entrepreneurs and same profile, better time control,

That vision for tomorrow demands something from you today.” “We live in a world of convenience, but when it comes to getting better, convenience is out the window.” “Getting better is not going to be convenient. It's just a requirement that you show up and do the work every day.” “When everyone's looking for the shortcut, the work is the shortcut.” “Share your stories. You never know the impact that message might have, whether it drives revenue or not.” “Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% your attitude and how you respond to it.”  “Show up each day with gratitude and say, how can I steward this the best way possible?” “Your circumstances plus your perspective determine your experience. If you want to have a better experience, have a better perspective on whatever is happening around you. You get to choose your perspective on that thing, and it will be good or bad, not because of what it is, but because of the way that you view it.” BOOKS MENTIONED: 10x Is Easier Than 2x: How World-Class Entrepreneurs Achieve More by Doing Less by Dan Sullivan (https://a.co/d/eD5Kh9R) The Power of Moments: Why Certain Experiences Have Extraordinary Impact by Chip Heath and Dan Heath (https://a.co/d/h03kZtO) USEFUL RESOURCES: https://www.deshazo.me  https://www.bebetterleaders.com https://www.intothestormbook.com https://www.keepchoppingwood.com https://www.instagram.com/kevindeshazo https://x.com/kevindeshazo  https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevindeshazo/  https://www.facebook.com/kevindeshazospeaks/ https://www.youtube.com/user/kevindeshazo "Into the Storm: How to Turn Adversity Into Your Advantage" (https://a.co/d/fNfXnKX) "Keep Chopping Wood: An Ordinary Approach to Achieving Extraordinary Success" (https://a.co/d/fZljRly)  CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://thejohnhulen.com  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen  Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/johnhulen   LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen     YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA  EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/

This is the second episode of a two part series where I'm sharing the top 13 self-leadership books that have changed my life and the trajectory of my business. If you haven't already, go back and listen to last week's episode! It's linked below. Now, I talk about this a lot, but as coaches who are truly committed to our own craft, we can only go and grow with clients to the degree that we are willing to evolve with ourselves first. I understand that if I haven't had an insight or a breakthrough in my own personal journey in a specific area, then I will never see or be able to reflect that same gap in a client. In this episode, I'm sharing some of the top books that have helped me unlock new insights, deeper learnings and levels of self awareness and spiritual development in the realm of relationships, overcoming resistance, and money mindset. Again, if you pick up one of these books, I'd love to hear from you! I truly believe that these books have the possibility to change your life, and I hope you enjoy them.    Topics: The reminder that it doesn't require anyone else in our lives to be different in order for us to create a different experience of life Why shifting your relationship to habits is the number one key that will support you in creating consistency and other lessons from Atomic Habits  Learning to recognize the synchronicities and similarities of your desires and how they are aligned to connect the why with the want using insights from Worthy Knowing that we continually upper limit when we're committed to our own growth and how to overcome them using resources from The Big Leap Why The Four Agreements is one of Catherine's favorite, most highly recommended books and the importance of not taking everything and everyone so darn personally  How Drop the Ball teaches us to (re)design the partnership/marriage that we want, that works for both parties  The necessity of tuning into your body's knowing and internal wisdom to increase trust in yourself for easier decision making from The Body Keeps the Score How Living Nonviolent Communication shows us that we have to first connect with ourselves and our own tragically unmet needs to create authentic intimacy in our relationships   Episode Resources: Listen: 13 Self-Leadership Books that Changed My Life (Part 1) Listen: Dreaming and Manifesting for Sensitive Empaths Living in a Loud World Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones by James Clear Worthy: Boost Your Self-Worth to Grow Your Net Worth by Nancy Levin The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level by Gay Hendricks The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom by Don Miguel Ruiz Drop the Ball: Achieving More by Doing Less by Tiffany Dufu The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel van der Kolk M.D. Living Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg   Connect with Catherine: Apply to join the free Unbounded community, a vibrant group of empathpreneurs who are passionate about supporting each other on our entrepreneurial journeys.  Website LinkedIn Instagram YouTube Sign up to receive my weekly digest on empathic entrepreneurship and hear from voices committed to spreading this message, sent straight to your inbox every Friday since 2016, here.    Work with Catherine: Interested in working 1:1 with a certified coach on Catherine's team, or joining her in one of her premium mastermind programs?

In this episode, I sit down with Kelly Noonan Gores, the talented writer, podcast host, and director of the transformative documentary HEAL. Kelly shares her journey of personal growth that followed the creation of the documentary, emphasizing the profound influence of beliefs on our reality. We dive deep into the importance of aligning the conscious and subconscious mind for true healing and explore the intricate mind-body-spirit connection that plays a crucial role in our well-being. Our discussion also touches on the impact of childhood programming, the limitations within the medical industry, and the significance of being true to oneself in relationships. Tune in to discover why honoring your inner truths and embracing authenticity are vital steps towards a more fulfilling life journey. Kelly Noonan Gores has been working in entertainment since she was seven years old. In 2012, she transitioned from acting and started Elevative Entertainment with the intention to create conscious media that informs, empowers, and inspires. She is the writer, director, and producer of the 2017 award-winning feature-length documentary Heal, and, due to the film's popularity, wrote the companion book. To continue the conversation around healing, consciousness, and personal transformation, she founded and hosts The HEAL Podcast.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Molly McGrath discuss:Approaching hiring from a different perspective. Training your employees to be intrapreneurs and take control of their jobs.How recruiting and communication are changing in the legal industry. Making it about steps in the process, not dollars and hours. Key Takeaways:Before strategy, you have to have the courage to take the first step and move forward. Hiring changes your ROI for yourself and for the new hire. Hiring doesn't mean paying their yearly salary upfront. Look at the ROIs and see how things will change.The days of putting up an ad and waiting for people to interview are over - you need to be recruiting.When you hire, it's not just the attorney. Everybody's KPIs shift. Follow the model of: teach, show, do, go, grow. If you do it right, you can on board and be hands-off within 30 days. "If you're doing it yourself, you're better off not even doing it at all. It is shark-infested waters out there, and by and large, my most successful plate placements are all poaching." —  Molly McGrath Read more from Steve at Above the Law: AboveTheLaw.com/tag/Steve-Fretzin/ Thank you to our Sponsors!Ready to go from good to GOAT?
