“Work life balance is obtainable. The most important thing I have found is the willingness to prioritize, maybe more important than that is to accept the implications of that prioritization.” James Sudakow, the Principal of CH Consulting, thought that his business would be a one year experiment and then he would return to Corporate America. Nearly ten years later, he has written multiple books and put his own words into action in his business. Listen in as James shares with Kim his realization of his need to give up growing his business, figuring out your boundaries and sticking to them, and how documenting a day in a life can help you manage your life and work balance.

It’s been said to me on more than one occasion by a coach or a mentor that I might be the type of person that’s more afraid of success than I am of failure, and honestly, when I heard it I would think, “That’s ridiculous. I want to own my own business. I want to be my own boss. I want finally lose the weight. I’ve always wanted these things – I’m not afraid of success.” But you know what? I think I might be afraid of success!! I was reading an article about the fear of success in INC magazine by James Sudakow called “Why the fear of success is holding you back more than the fear of failure.” And the point that he makes is quote: “Success means change (even if it’s the change you always wanted) If you try something and fail, you go back to what you knew. You may not be happy about it, but you go back to your comfort zone. If you try something and succeed, you head into uncharted territory. Things are different. Things change.” Wow. And since I quit my day job for my side hustle, I have been in totally uncharted territory. Not having a steady paycheck coming in every two weeks is uncomfortable for sure. So then I got to thinking about this more – like, who do I have to become to get what I want? So here are all the thoughts that went through my head: What bad habits do I need to change? What do I need to give up? Am I willing to actually change? And what’s going to happen if I do get what I want? Will my relationships be affected? What do I have to do more of that I’m not doing now? What do I have to let go of? Will I have to be more firm and direct and risk that people won’t like me? Will I have to learn to say no and risk hurting people’s feelings? Will I have to have uncomfortable conversations about money? Will I have to fire people? Maybe I’m afraid to build a team because I don’t want to have to fire people, but I need a team to be able to grow. And I even think about it when it comes to success with my weight. It’s like if I lose weight and then people actually notice and say something to me, it’s like my secret is out. I can’t hide anymore. The secret that I’m 40 pounds heavier than I need to be will be out because people never say anything to you when you’re overweight (at least they don’t to me), but when you lose weight they say something like “Wow, you’ve lost a ton of weight.” Then I’m totally mortified that they noticed I had a ton of weight to lose… Which sounds crazy, I know, but what it boils down to is a fear of success and caring too much about what other people think. So what do you do about being afraid of success? I can tell you what I’m doing about it. I’m writing down all of my fears. All of them. Related to my weight, to success in my business. I’m doing a total brain dump of all of them into a Google Doc. And then I’m answering the questions. I’m literally putting one fear on every line of a Google doc, bolding it, and then answering the question. Writing the alternate storyline. Facing my fear of success. I’m facing them head on, and I’m coaching myself through them. I’m talking to myself as if my best friend came to me with all of the same fears. And then I’m reading them, every single morning to remind myself of what’s possible, that I’m capable of handling the success I’ve always wanted. So if you’re afraid of success in any area of your life, I invite you to do the same – and let me know in the Facebook group – what’s your biggest fear of success? Let me know and I’ll help you reframe it!

July 26, 2017 Stupid Stuff James Sudakow, Patient Care Donna Bak and Built for Growth John Danner

We've all been the new person at a company, trying to get our footing in a new role and within a new industry. It can be a lot to take in, particularly when each company has its own set of acronyms and internal jargon they frequently rely on. "Think out of the box," "I'll ping you," "let's be sure to bake that into the process," "we should avoid any tissue rejection on this specifically," - the list goes on! We're all guilty of it, and we're all likely aware of how confusing it can be for a newcomer. So why do we keep using workplace jargon? James Sudakow, consultant, speaker, and author of Picking the Low-Hanging Fruit...And Other Stupid Stuff We Say in the Corporate World joins Brandon Laws in a conversation about conversation and what we can all do to clarify our communication.

James Sudakow, the author of the book Picking the Low Hanging Fruit, is this episode's guest, and Mike and he talked about the language people use in the corporate world. Every organization or group got acronyms, buzzwords, or phrases that is used on a daily basis. On this episode, James and Mike discuss how these can benefit organizations – but sometimes cause disconnect in communication. James also reveals some buzzwords that he thinks people should stop using by the end of the year, and how an individual can shift away from the habit of using such words. Let's "open the kimono" on this episode and learn about: People's intentions when they choose to use big words (8:20). How to stop this practice in organizations firmly entrenched into such kind of language (13:25). James' list of buzzwords that people should retire from use by the end of 2016 (2:16), and the most obscure phrases he's heard (29:28). An open letter James wrote on his blog tackling the ridiculous lingo being used in the corporate world (15:39). The probability of grandiose language masking larger organizational problems (17:19). How acronyms initially intended for efficiency can quickly spiral out of control (20:28). One small thing an individual can do that can result in a shift from the practice of using these kind of words and phrases (22:54).
