Do you wake up in the morning with a deeply unsettled feeling that there's something more you should be doing? As you're headed into work for the day, do you have the urge to turn the car around, but feel stuck by the fear of what might happen if you tried to change things?   Today, Blake explains why so many people who aren't happy in their lives tend to choose the certainty of misery over the misery of uncertainty. This type of inaction leads people to stay in situations where they're unfulfilled rather than choosing to create the change they so desperately need.    You'll hear why people choose the certainty of misery, and what it is that makes us so uncomfortable with the unknown to begin with. She shares real-life examples of what it looks like to choose misery, and how finally letting go of your attachment to certainty allows you to open up to new opportunities for guidance.    It's time to let go of the certainty of your misery and get the resources you need to create the change you want & need!    What You'll Learn: Why we're uncomfortable with uncertainty (1:53) How to know if you're choosing the certainty of misery (3:17) What it means when you can't solve a problem in 48 hours (4:47) The myth of a black and white approach to change (9:33) Identifying where you are on the path to change (13:22)   Favorite Quote: We as humans are so uncomfortable with the things that we don't know that we will literally stay in circumstances or situations that we know are making us miserable, that we know won't get us where we want to go for fear of what that unknown actually might be. Until we begin to [question whether what our brain is telling us is true or not], we're always going to be trapped in this cycle of believing that it's safer to be miserable than it is to actually create change in our lives.   Additional Resources:   Rather than hoping the grass will be greener, identify what the RIGHT next step is.  We can help you do just that.   Get clarity on where you are on your journey to career fulfillment, where you're headed, optional paths to get there, and the right next step to take.   Start your complimentary, Personalized Career Fulfillment Plan by going to www.thebridgetofulfillment.com/plan   Want free resources to set your job search up for success?

We're all guilty of it and as technology advances, our attention is the number one thing under attack by the second, minute, hour, and day as we are bombarded with countless notifications, interruptions, and bullsh#t that make us less productive.  The average person only gets about 6 hours of work done per day.  A common theme for many people is how to maintain focus and productivity. Last week, Producer Andre' asked a few questions in our Facebook Group and one that stood out was:  “How do you maintain focus?” Today, Steve Taylor, Jason Graybeal, and Producer Andre' share how they each do battle with maintaining focus. Andre' shares his high diagnosis of ADHD at 21 years of age, and what he does daily to keep himself focused. Steve and Jason deep dive into the impact of distractions and how it affects productivity in their personal lives and at work. Jason breaks down the importance of managing your time well as Steve chimes in on what activities are costing you hundreds if not thousands of dollars simply by not setting rules for yourself.    What You'll Learn: Why getting control over your focus starts with limiting distractions How to limit distractions at home and at work  The impact that being distracted has on your work performance and the cost to business when you can't focus 3 Things Andre does to keep himself on track hour by hour every single day The number one concern Jason has with his children as they mature Time buckets and how not focusing on the right activities will take money out of all of them Why Jason hires a lawn guy and the practical reasoning behind it How to create 2 days in one day and the schedule you should follow  When to know you're most productive and how to leverage it to your benefit Structuring your day and how to hold yourself accountable  Why turning off your phone is a good thing to do daily Time blocking  25-30 minutes is the maximum amount of time a human being can focus on one thing  How to break out of distractions with maximum impact And much more!      “The way I describe my mind is if you have your computer open and you have 30 tabs up and you're clicking between all of them and you're not doing anything on each page, but you're hammering through all the tabs……click, click, click, click, click…..that's what it's like all day in my head.  Without structure and lining my day out the day before and lining my week out, the week before, I'm not as productive as I could be.  Having structure and bullet-pointing my day out almost by the hour is the number one way that I stay focused.” -Producer Andre' Allison   How To Get Involved:   Jason on Instagram Steve on Instagram No Bull Business & Brews on Facebook Get Jason's #Best Selling Book:  See and Seize: Lessons From Merging and Acquiring Agencies and Assets   How To Get Involved: Find Jason on Instagram & Facebook.

Daneen West is a Cisco Customer Success Executive, mother of three, and Brain Health Coach. For the past 21 years, Daneen has worked for Cisco Systems, designing, and leading industry award-winning talent development programs  After years of being on the verge of burnout, she is professionally more resilient, energized, and mentally sharp than decades earlier because of discovering brain health, where all the power is to up-level your life. Certified through the NeuroLeadership Institute and Amen Clinics, Brain Health has transformed every area of Daneen's life, and she is compelled to provide the opportunity for others to ease anxiety, boost focus and finally work on their sleep struggles. Daneen's Brain-Boosting checklist is a great resource to discover practical tips to heal, protect and grow the brain (See below). Memorable Quotes: “So as parents, if we have that intuition like that, something's wrong, check it out. And if the first doctor may not, if you don't resonate there, you're not being heard. Keep pursuing it.” “It's not a badge of honor to stay up all night. Right. Our culture sometimes will make you feel that way or sleep when you're dead. But there's so much that we've learned now around sleep. That's because it is the only way that our brain detoxes every night.” “As you're walking through this journey, you're going to come across ideas, thoughts, music, books, people and they're going to feel right or they're not. I'm going to encourage you to trust yourself. Just because it works for me doesn't mean it works for you.” “What makes the brain work is what you put in your mind, what you put on your body, what you put in your mouth.” What You'll Learn: Why brain health is important and how to pursue a healthy brain through small lifestyle changes. This Episode Includes: Daneen first started looking into brain health when three different doctors diagnosed her son with three different issues: sensory processing, ADD, and Asperger's. After a long journey of searching, Daneen finally came to the realization that brain health was at the root cause of her son's health situation. Daneen found the Brain Balance Program which revolutionized the way she viewed brain health for herself and her children. She believes her health journey is a forever resource which she now shares with others through her coaching program. Robin reminds the audience that health is layered and that there are many factors that can influence brain health. Daneen shares that the first step to supporting brain health is getting good quality sleep. Getting sleep is how the brain detoxifies itself from neurotoxins incurred throughout the day. Daneen shares a few more steps to supporting brain health in children like eating enough healthy fats and getting energy out early in the morning through jumping ropes or jumping jacks. Sleep is one of Dr. Robin's three non-negotiables for a well life. Daneen encourages parents to model the health behavior the would like to see in their children. Daneen and Dr. Robin both agree that small steps are the key to success when pursuing a healthy brain. Three Takeaways From Today's Episode: Practice getting good quality sleep each night this week. Add enough healthy fats to your diet to support your energy levels and brain health. Do 50 jumping jacks with your kids before they head off to school in the morning to help them release energy and feel encouraged through exercising together.

Alexandra Gamarra, co-founder, and CEO of Clowd Work, talks about building the MVP, finding their first customers, and navigating their product-market fit to achieve growth. Listen in for more insights.  Cloud Work is a fully automatic time tracking system for organizations that need to track, manage, and report time. Through this system, users can keep their projects on track and budget. It comes with an automatic employee time tracking software and various features like reporting timesheets and screenshots. Alexandra Gamarra, the CEO, talks to Geordie about her story.  What You'll Learn Why did Alexandra choose to work with a remote team? Why Alexandra and her team were keen to find out what their employees were up to How Alexandra and her team improved their product to make it saleable to other companies Why did Alexandra sell her eCommerce business? How much did Alexandra sell the eCommerce for, and how much did they invest in the software development venture? Why Alexandra and her team redeveloped their software Challenges Alexandra faced during the MVP's beta testing phase  Importance of determination and patience in entrepreneurship  In this Episode  Alexandra kicks off the podcast by narrating her story to let listeners understand why she founded the platform with the help of her co-founder. If you are an aspiring entrepreneur, this section will help you understand how much effort you should invest in building a successful entity.   Alexandra could not afford employees in the UK as a startup, which pushed her to hire a remote team from Colombia, paying lower salaries. She was convinced that the team would make her competitive, but that did not happen. Instead, Alexandra struggled with productivity issues, with the team unable to finish tasks on time. Alexandra mentions how she could not figure out why the team was not delivering while her competitors were more productive even though their workforce was costly. At some point, she thought about doing away with the remote team and hiring someone in the UK before her husband intervened. Listen to the podcast to find out how her husband reacted to the idea.   Even after investigating the team, Alexandra and her husband could not identify the problem. Her husband decided to hire a software developer to develop a system to help them understand what was going on. Alexandra says that was the initial version of Clowd Work. The software could be installed in an employee's computer regardless of location. They could then rely on it to track what their employees were up to. Was the software effective? Alexandra says the software helped them solve a huge problem. Listen to the podcast to understand their findings.   Alexandra later informed her team about the software, which became the wake-up call she had wished for. The team became so competitive that the company could not stop growing. According to Alexandra, the company surpassed the $ 1 million daily turnovers in less than one year.   From their software's success, Alexandra and her team felt that other companies with remote employees would gain major benefits. However, they were overly busy at the eCommerce business to think about expanding. At the suggestion of Alexandra's husband, they decided to travel the world and see if they could run the business on the go. They did, and it turned out to be successful.   Alexandra talks about how they sold their eCommerce business to focus on software development. They would later work with a renowned global accelerator, who played a major role in the business growth. Alexandra and her team had to redevelop their software to make it saleable to other companies. Listen to her extensive explanation on why they invested in software, and the features they added to improve its performance. If you are thinking about venturing into the software industry, you cannot afford to miss this insightful section. Covid-19 was a blessing in disguise to Alexandra and her team because that is when they found product-market fit after a long time of struggling. She discusses the challenges they went through in the podcast. What lesson has Alexandra learned along the way? She says, had she heard her users more, they would not have spent lots of time and money developing features that users were not asking for. Alexandra also mentions that free demos are not valued everywhere, and sometimes they can be a time-wasting approach that bears no fruit.  Resources  Clowd Work Alexandra Gamarra LinkedIn  

When people feel heard, they feel known, valued – and this is desperately needed in our modern culture. It is, perhaps, an even deeper need for women in powerful leadership positions. Others listen to accomplished, successful women for the express purpose of acquiring knowledge for their own gain. But who truly hears and sees the strong, powerful women, herself, who is dispensing said knowledge? Out of this reality comes the wisdom that all need to be truly seen and heard. To not be is quite lonely. As women especially, we naturally possess the ability to listen and alleviate this need, if we are intentional to sharpen our skill. Leaders who do so will draw others to themselves who are at the same level, which is both desirable and mutually beneficial. Through this episode, I hope to ignite in you the desire to awaken the deep, pure magic of being a leader who truly listens and sees. What You'll Learn Why we typically feel unheard Pursuit of knowledge Self-focused society The magic of listening Connect with people at the same level Hold others in high value Some proofs you're truly listening Cultivate being listened to yourself Find people who see and hear you I love and appreciate reviews from my listeners on iTunes!

We tend to be organized, especially as a society. Structured, linear thinking is expected and natural. This leads to us believing not only do we know what will happen but also why. And therefore, we believe we have control over things. This control thought-pattern then breeds a constant stream of how. How are we going to do this, how are we going to do that? But what if not investing all our energy into the how frees us to lean into belief? Frees the magic of the creative process and fuels success for our vision? Let's recapture the what we've been kissed with through embracing the magic of NOT knowing how. What You'll Learn Why we lose the magic Vision getting lost Not knowing the how An example from my life Absolute clarity, without any idea of the how Loving what you do releases the magic Lean into joy Commit to being more of you The missing piece How versus the energy of truly believing More than just tactics Worry robs us Increased capacity Release your need to know Ways the how generates more easily Nurture what you've been kissed with Refuse anxiety triggers Be healthy, thriving, open, free Achieve through proper work THERE'S STILL TIME!

Do you love it so much you want to shout it from the rooftops and share with people what makes it so great? If not, you've got to do some reflection on what's keeping you from feeling that way because that's where visibility comes in.”“Even if you're a personal brand, you are not your business. When you can accept that it's a very freeing moment because it gives you permission to fail and know that it has nothing to do with your value as a human being.”Discussed on the Show:Kylie's Free WorkbookMore about Kylie:Kylie Hodges is the founder of Coach in Demand - where she works with talented coaches who want to turn their under-earning, overwhelming business into a client and money magnet.

Revenge bedtime procrastination is something most perfectionists struggle to stop. When you're not planning properly as a perfectionist, you put more business tasks on your to-do list than you have time to complete. Because you want to be productive, you put pressure on yourself to get everything done. But then you don't know what to do first… You end up working on a random business task until it's 80% done (and then get distracted by something else) or you do nothing at all. All the while, you're feeling guilty that you're so far behind. You're thinking about all of the things you should be doing that aren't getting done (like posting consistently on social media). And you're trying to catch up on all of the life admin your past self has delegated to you. Every day has an undercurrent of overwhelm, panic and stress. And with every unproductive day that passes, it only gets harder to trust you'll get everything done. You're burned out from all the stopping and starting. And you're beginning to wonder if you'll ever change. But then comes bedtime. You promised yourself you'd get to bed on time but you knew you wouldn't. But why would you? The hours past bedtime are the only guilt-free time you get to yourself. In the still of the night, you can relax and unwind. Nothing is expected of you. The pressure is off. And you have the promise of a more productive tomorrow. Here's the thing - a bedtime alarm or better nighttime routine won't stop revenge bedtime procrastination. Revenge bedtime procrastination is a symptom of a bigger problem. Because you haven't been planning properly… You're putting too much on your to-do list You don't know what's important and what isn't You can't trust yourself to follow through on your plans You're trying to catch up on everything your past self put off You're not getting clean rest during the day When you start planning properly, revenge bedtime procrastination will stop.

There are courageous things you need to do to build your business that you might never feel excited about… like pitching yourself as a guest on one of your favourite podcasts or posting on Instagram when you've been getting is 17 likes or publishing your sales page when you're still working on believing that your product is worth the money.

Fear is a natural part of life. However, our fears don't always represent the truth. Many times, they're just beliefs that we allow to hold us back. If your fears are based on misbeliefs that you're telling yourself, then you are allowing them to drive your decisions, your thoughts, your time, and ultimately, your future. Today, Blake reveals the true origins of our fears and explains how they are often based on lies we tell ourselves. If you're ready to get past your fears and truly create the life you want, it starts with understanding that not everything your brain tells you is true. Fear is simply your brain reacting to the uncertainty you feel. But YOU hold the power to shift your fears and change your life. Today, you'll learn which of your fears might be holding you back, and how you can gain control over misbeliefs. You'll hear the most important questions to ask yourself if you're ready to move forward, and why making friends with the fears you carry is so important. What You'll Learn: Why you're already more powerful than you give yourself credit for (0:31) Questioning what's really holding you back (1:27) Making friends with fear (2:50) A powerful, revealing question to ask yourself about fear (4:31) Favorite Quotes: “Fear is tied to feeling powerless, but you aren't powerless. You have the ability every day to make decisions that can move you forward, closer to what you want.” “Unexpected things have likely come your way in your life, things you hadn't planned for. And somehow you figure it out, you adapted, you survived, and you are still here.” “People always act in accordance with what they believe to be true about themselves and their environment. So, what misbeliefs or lives are you telling yourself that are holding you back from your dreams?” Additional Resources: Rather than hoping the grass will be greener, identify what the RIGHT next step is.

Jessey Kwong, CEO, and founder of REI Conversion talks about inventing the idea, building and funding the MVP, and bootstrapping from zero to 30,000 MRR. Listen in for more details. REI conversion is a SaaS company that helps users automate and systematize their land buying business. Jessey Kwong, the founder, and CEO started off as a vacant land investor before upgrading his operations. He tells Geordie about his journey.  What You'll Learn Why did Jessey's first WordPress theme flop? Why the current 50/50 equity split agreement between Jessey and his partner complicates planning Lessons Jessey has learned from the 50/50 equity split How Covid affected the business In this Episode While being a vacant land investor paved the way for Jessey's success in the land investing business, he no longer focuses on the venture. Instead, he is scaling REI conversion to meet growing customer demands. Jessey says his digital background came in handy to help him develop websites fast. At some point, he helped other people build their websites, and before long, he realized that more and more people wanted websites to market their properties. Launching his website played a core role in helping him scale and systemize fast.  After helping various people build their websites, Jessey and his team saw an opportunity to create a product. However, the process was not short of challenges. Jessey says their premier WordPress theme flopped, forcing them to go back to the drawing board, where they redesigned everything and focused on marketing. Jessey explains why their WordPress theme was unsuccessful in the podcast.  Jessey talks about meeting his fellow investor, who was already using a system he had developed for his land management operations. He explains how they partnered in improving the user experience and user interface for the whole system. The team faced various challenges along the journey but later launched the CRM part of the system in mid-2020.  REI conversion, Jessey says, has multiple products, like CRM and marketing websites that help investors systemize and streamline their businesses. Get detailed of how Jessey and his partner split the equity.  Launching a product can be exciting, but predicting how people receive it can be difficult. However, Jessey and his team were lucky to have an existing user base making it easy for them to tap into their audience who were already using their themes. In their first month after launching their MVP, Jessey says they had up to 20 new users coming through their email lists, a Facebook group, WordPress, and lots of feedback. That number grew over the months, and at the end of their first year, they had approximately 200 users. They are planning to double that number in eighteen months.  Taking up investment can open many doors for businesses, and Jessey and his partner are contemplating it. At this point, Geordie talks to Jessey about the cons of taking up investment and why opting for a business accelerator could be a better option. Are you bootstrapped but considering taking up an investment? You do not want to miss this insightful section of the podcast. It will open your mind, helping you to understand why bootstrapping is a good idea regardless of the challenges involved. Business can be challenging, and every entrepreneur can benefit from the mentorship that business accelerators offer.  Jessey says they have figured out that their CRM is incapable of doing everything. As a result, they are considering various integrations in the future to expand their business. For example, they want to venture into a different market like the housing sector. However, Jessey feels like they still have a lot to do in the land industry. Currently, they are focused on adding the most value to land investors.  Mastering the art of marketing takes time. What did Jessey and his team do differently to increase conversions? They partnered with a prominent influencer in the land investing space who guided them on land investing. They formed an affiliate relationship with the influencer, who had a massive email list, giving them a big running start. Jessey and his team leveraged the influencer's authority to build their user base and an email list.  Content is also a powerful marketing component, and Jessey says they have benefited from running podcasts and webinars. If he had a chance to turn back the hands of time, Jessey would plan for the future, prepare for scale, have a planning structure, and define his standard operating procedures Resources Jessy Kwong LinkedIn Rei Conversion   

Episode #207. What's the best way to start off the new year? I keep going back to an exercise I walked through in our Best Quarter Ever workshop and today I'm excited to share it with you here. If you've ever found that a vision board doesn't quite get you to your goals or you just really need an extra boost of inspiration, this one's for you!In This Episode You'll Learn:Why a vision board can get you in a state of disconnectThe visualization exercise to get you more in alignment How to manage the negative feelings around your goals A backward way to look at your goals for a big mindset shiftFavorite Quotes“A vision board is all about the things that you want. It's acknowledging that you're in a state of want and lack. That resistance is not helping you get there any faster.” “In 2020, my word of the year was ‘No'. I'm very sorry and yes, I have a lot of regrets about that. So I'm not doing anything like that this year, but I'm feeling the good year energy, and I hope you are too.”“What were you feeling after achieving your goals? Were you feeling excited? Were you feeling proud? Did you wonder if it would ever happen again or feel overwhelmed? Sometimes when we have our best month or best quarter ever it brings up negative things too.”Discussed on the ShowGo-To Gal's 200th Episode

As 2021 comes to an end, and with the nostalgia of the holidays here, it's very easy to fall in line with society and do what they do.......make resolutions. But here's the truth about resolutions..............they're bullshit.  And so are the "Resolutionaries" who like to make them.   They make resolutions to:  Get in better shape by working out and eating healthy Make more money but don't do anything to increase their work performance  Be a better friend even though they can't stay accountable to their family  Improve their romantic relationships without keeping a regular schedule of date nights and doing the things that originally landed you in a romance We're not here to make fun of anyone looking to better themselves.  We're here to provide some insight into what you need to be mindful of during a time where: 1. There are tons of holiday parties 2. Tons of parties 3. Food  4. Alcohol In this episode, Steve, Jason, along with Producer Andre share some personal stories related to intentions set on improving each one of these areas by doing one simple thing.  Doing the work starting today.  What You'll Learn:   Why starting your resolutions is important to start today What happened when Steve started working out after not having done so after 5 years Burnout The double-down failure of disappointment over missed resolutions Why it's important to go all in when you even think of something you want to do How visiting 2-3 more customers a day will increase your sales The impact of working out during the holiday season and mitigating slovenly weight gain Stupid rules people make for themselves during Christmas How not truly believing what you're saying can cost your credibility  Why making goals is more powerful than setting resolutions  How partnering up with one of your employees can create multiple streams of revenue  Power moves that grow your entire staff, enhance team building, and improve retention  Andy Frisella and his "Andy Grams" And much more!

When most people think about a family farm, they think of a wooden house in the middle of a field with a few chickens, a couple of cows, and some corn and tomatoes growing. These days, that is more likely a  “hobby farm” since almost all commercially viable farms, including family-run operations, are high tech, sizable, and are extremely productive. They have to be to survive.  On this week's podcast, you'll meet a multi-generational farmer who will help us all better understand where our food comes from, the complexity of supply chains, and the challenges of survival as inflation sets in.  Learn Why growers earn just pennies per piece of product (like an onion)  How rising freight costs will affect all our food budgets soon Why it's impossible to start a family farm from scratch today The scale, scope and future of agribusiness  Links Shay's Tiktok Owyhee Foods ABOUT OUR GUEST Shay is the CEO of Owyhee family onion business.

Some call this a string of “Bad Luck”, but this couldn't be further than the truth. Sure, sometimes life throws us a curveball and we are left empty-handed. It just is what it is, but for almost every other time it all comes down to whether or not we were disciplined enough to have the money set aside for when it was needed.  On this episode of “Crushing The Day,” Drewbie sends a little reminder that if we seemingly run into bad luck while on this journey of self-improvement...it's because we didn't do what was necessary to have the funds set aside. No more excuses! If you are listening to this podcast, then you already know what you should be doing. Tune in to learn more if you are ready to do what it takes to level up.  What You'll Learn: Why saying you have “Bad Luck”, is simply an excuse for the lack of proper action.  How without discipline, the money we need will never be there when it's needed.  That when we are dedicated to staying disciplined, “Luck” will always be on our side.   Favorite Quote: “Your reputation is a million times harder to rebuild than your ego.”   —Drewbie Wilson   How to get involvedGo to the CRUSHING THE DAY website to get involved!

Some of us might think that the biggest challenges we face come from our competitors. When in reality, our greatest competition is actually ourselves!  Your ego can lie to you when it gets too big. You might even start thinking that you don't have to put in the work like you used to. This can end relationships, and ruin your good reputation. On this episode of “Crushing The Day,” we are reminded that the universe will humble the ego-driven individual and destroy our success if we aren't paying attention. Tune in to learn more. What You'll Learn: Why the ego is our greatest competitor. How we have a legacy to leave for ourselves and our community. That if we let our ego get in the way, then it will ruin our competition.   Favorite Quote: “Your reputation is a million times harder to rebuild than your ego.”   —Drewbie Wilson   How to get involvedGo to the CRUSHING THE DAY website to get involved!

What do you dream for yourself and your life? A hassle-free day at work, fewer headaches, or simply a weekend free from checking emails or responding to work-related text messages? Perhaps even a job you actually enjoy and feel energized by (or does that seem too good to be true)? Those goals are really just the tip of the iceberg of what's possible. For so many women, they're the goals we strive for on a daily basis.  But the truth is that most people don't dream BIG enough.  We tend to dream or set goals within the limits of what we know or what we've seen. But, there's a whole world that exists outside of what's known, and that's where real fulfillment begins to take shape and transform into something much bigger.  Today, Blake challenges you to consider the unknown: What if you dreamt a little bit bigger? If your goals include financial freedom, independence, career significance, and more time to enjoy life with your family, then what's holding you back from achieving it is the gap between what you know and what you don't know yet.  If all you know is hustle and unfulfilling work, then you're simply missing the pieces that can connect you to what's actually possible. Learn how to push past the fear and take the first steps towards transformation.  What You'll Learn: • Why most people aren't setting their goals high enough (1:50)
 • Blake's personal story of seeking change (3:29)
 • The potential future you could be sacrificing because of fear (6:32)
 • Challenge your beliefs about what's possible (8:52)
 • The first step on your path to transformation (11:09)
 Favorite Quotes: 1. “Most people's career and life goals are so much smaller than what they can actually accomplish.”
 2. “I had a lot of beliefs and a lot of perspectives that were keeping me stuck and trapped in a life, and a career that was far less impactful than I wanted it to be. My dreams and my goals were far too small.”
 3. “I have been able to accomplish things I would have never thought possible: Working 20 to 25 hours a week, being able to not work nights and weekends, being able to go to my kid's events, truly waking up energized and passionate excited about what I do every day.”
 4. “If there's anything in your life that you wish were different, or if there are things that you do because you feel like you have to or you should, or because that's the only possibility for your life, I want to challenge you that that's not true.”
 5. “Ultimately, that contraction of what you think is possible for you is actually the thing that's keeping you stuck.”
 6. “Every single day that you get up, that you're not living life to the fullest is another day of regret, another day of lost time, and another day that you're not able to be fully present with your family to really enjoy the life that you've been given.”

Do you have really big visions for your life? The saying is true, if your dreams don't scare you, then they're not big enough. For Lindsey, that dream was to be a Peloton instructor. She found herself obsessed with the instructor's ability to lift people up on the regular. She kept this dream in her sights and set out to manifest it into her life. She didn't just dream and wait, she took actual steps towards her goal. She emailed casting, and sent in photos and videos. Now, she hasn't realized her dream (yet), but that doesn't mean it wasn't without purpose. Being open to any possibilities that would come from her dream led her to where she is today. She was able to pinpoint what was attracting her to this role and that was lifting up others and inspiring them. That opened her mind to other possibilities and led her to say yes to hosting a podcast. It may not be executed the same, but the calling is still the same. Because of her willingness to dream she's realizing her passion, purpose, and calling, just on a different platform. What You'll Learn: Why your dreams should scare you. How to manifest your desires. Why you should keep an open heart and mind. How to pinpoint your passion. Favorite Quote: “Take a leap, do different things, find out what is causing your heart to flutter.” -Lindsey Hanlon

Steve Gross is the Chief Playmaker at Life is Good Kids Foundation. The mission at Life is Good is to spread and harness the power of optimism to help kids heal from the impact of childhood trauma. The way that they do that is by partnering with the frontline men and women who dedicate their lives to building, healing, and creating life changing relationships with kids. Memorable Quotes: “We have problems. We have challenges. There is suffering. But we can never lose sight of the opportunities that exist amidst the obstacles if we want to make things better.” “But just being alive, we are going to suffer. And when we're suffering, nothing soothes that suffering more than somebody seeing us, valuing us, and treating us with love and kindness.” “Our emotions are going to get the best of us from time to time, but when we become aware of it, we can take action to try to mitigate the response and to try to make things better.” What You'll Learn: Why kindness is so important to cultivate, how to use kindness to impact those around you, and how kindness affects children specifically. This Episode Includes: The origin and mission of the Life is Good Kids Foundation. Professionals who interact with children need to have a “kind human disposition” as much as their professional skill set. We will have suffering in this life but the power of optimism and kindness has the strength to get us through the suffering. Steve's father was the chief influencer in his life and continues to influence how he treats other people. Kind people are never unhappy people. Adverse childhood experiences, sometimes referred to as ACES, are overwhelming and frightening events that leave children feeling powerless. The most common are abuse, neglect, witness to violence, and severe household dysfunction. Almost every single human has some sort of childhood trauma. Childhood trauma can impact the way our brain develops. Kindness and love can soothe suffering. Getting to know others, seeing them, and truly valuing them means being curious and not judgemental. We can use the resources, privileges, and opportunities that we have to help others. Three Takeaways From Today's Episode: Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care. It's not about perfection. It's about connection. Practice changing your “I have to's” into “I get to's.” Mentioned In The Episode: No Hard Feelings by the Avett Brothers Life is Good Kids Foundation 31-Day Kindness Campaign Small Changes Big Shifts CityWide Facilities Solutions Connect: Facebook Instagram LinkedIn Twitter YouTube

Episode #200. Welcome to episode 200! What a perfect time it is to celebrate consistency.

Whether you've got a podcast or a platform you're posting on consistently, avoiding these 3 things will help you keep it up. Press play now to learn strategies for keeping your dreams alive.In This Episode You'll Learn:Why you shouldn't feel guilty if you're thinking about shutting down3 things to avoid if you want to keep things going in the long runHow to lean into a shift instead of pushing through an obstacleWhere to set boundaries with being driven by data Questions to ponder when re-evaluating your platformFavorite Quotes“It's great to celebrate milestones that are about outcomes. It's also great for us to celebrate the mile markers along the way, that are not based on the outcome of something but are celebrating the work.”“If you feel yourself getting bored with what you're doing, think about what you can do to make it more fun, get yourself re-engaged and tap back into that natural flood of energy you had when you first started doing it.”“There is no scenario where you're going to create perfection. It does not exist. If it's taking you a long time trying to be perfect, that's going to get in the way of publishing consistently.”

Today's topic is one that many clinicians have navigated, are navigating, or will navigate in the future. It's the idea of increasing fees with existing clients. I've seen this topic come up repeatedly in online groups for therapists, and I know it brings anxiety and confusion. Let's dig into it together! Our Featured Guests Kelly Higdon and Miranda Palmer Kelly Higdon and Miranda Palmer are therapists, private practice owners, and the founders of ZynnyMe, where they teach and train therapists to build valuable and gratifying businesses. Their year-long training program, Business School Bootcamp, is a super-powerful system that teaches therapists everything they wish they had learned in grad school about running a successful private practice. In this episode, Kelly and Miranda will discuss the idea that we are betraying our client if we increase fees, along with ways to work through that mindset. We will cover the nitty-gritty of how to communicate fee increases to clients with all the logistical nuances. Our conversation wraps up with simple scripts you can use during sessions to stay on track, be clear, and affirm your clients without causing feelings of abandonment. http://www.zynnyme.com/ (www.zynnyme.com)  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/starting-a-counseling-practice-with-kelly-miranda/id1398391639 (Starting a Counseling Practice Podcast) You'll Learn: ● Why the idea of increasing fees is intimidating even though many therapists are leaving a lot of money on the table ● Why increasing fees ties into mixed messages in our minds about our self worth and value ● How the cumulative effect of a sliding scale adds up to significant amounts over time and reflects bias that we usually guard against ● How automation in today's world allows us to avoid those difficult conversations ● Why the recommendation is to create a letter but have the conversation with the client in session; give them the letter after the conversation (or email virtual clients) ● Why the letter is a transitional object and shouldn't make excuses for the fee increase ● Ideas for scripting the notification letter and stating the fee increase ● The need for us to be honest with our clients to be able to continue providing great care ● The misconception that schedules and fees should always stay the same; these are unrealistic expectations! ● How to present workable options to clients without feeling like you're abandoning them ● Why clinicians have to do what it takes to care for themselves before they can care for their clients ● Highlights in the conversation with clients about increasing fees: ○ Own your emotions about it. ○ Let the client know the relationship with them is valuable to you. ○ Check in with the client's feelings and options moving forward. ● Why the window of notice should be long enough to prepare for termination or referral One of the questions I get asked all the time as a podcaster is “what podcasts do you listen or subscribe to?” This might surprise you, but there's really only one show that I absolutely have to listen to . . . every week. Actually, every day. Like, I'll literally drop what I'm doing (unless I'm with the family of course) and listen to each episode when it drops. The show is Tesla Daily, which is why I couldn't be more thrilled to have its host Rob Maurer on the show today! If you want a behind-the-curtain peek at how someone with over 100,000 YouTube subscribers produces a hard-hitting podcast every day, you're in the right place. Rob built this show from the ground up and incredibly, launched his first episode from concept to publish in just 48 – 72 hours. Even more impressive is how Rob's built a trust-worthy brand in such a crowded space. What does it take to keep up production with a daily show like this? Why does Rob do what he does and how did he get started? How do you combine an audio-first podcast with the power of YouTube? And what does Rob do... Support this podcast
