In this episode, I dive deep into how overwhelm is actually a safety mechanism for our brain. I explore why we default to feeling overwhelmed when facing challenges or stepping outside our comfort zone. The key insights include understanding that overwhelm is our brain's primitive way of protecting us from perceived danger, which can prevent us from taking action. I share strategies to break through overwhelm, such as:Recognizing it as a defense mechanismBreaking tasks into manageable stepsPrioritizing what matters mostSetting boundariesCreating space for rest and recoveryThe episode provides practical advice for business owners on managing multiple roles, avoiding burnout, and reframing overwhelm as a signal of growth. My goal is to help listeners transform overwhelm from a roadblock into an opportunity for personal and professional development.Want more?

Time is slippery—especially when you're standing in midlife, looking both forward and back. Today Meagan and Sarah continue unpacking one of the most elusive and shape-shifting concepts we wrestle with: time. How do we imagine the future, how do we plan for it (tarot cards, anyone?), and how does our relationship to longterm planning and future-casting change in our forties? We explore the common traps we fall into when envisioning what's next, the lessons that still haven't quite landed, and how midlife has reshaped our goals, timelines, and even the way we dream.

In this episode, I explore the concept of leverage in your business, focusing on strategic time management and maximizing efficiency through automation, delegation, and smart decision-making. Using practical examples, I demonstrate how business owners can optimize their time by targeting warm leads, choosing the most effective social media platforms, and prioritizing outreach strategies. The key is asking, "Where will I get the most leverage?" rather than spreading efforts thin across multiple channels. I emphasize that strategic thinking prevents overwhelm and helps entrepreneurs make more impactful choices by focusing on existing networks, identifying high-engagement platforms, and being intentional about time allocation.

Modern society loves the concept of ‘saving time' – but at what cost? There's nothing wrong with streamlining and efficiency, but today Meagan and Sarah push back against the notion that time-saving strategies – and products – unilaterally bring more calm to our days. Instead we look at ways to think about shifting time to our advantage, batching tasks and opting out to free up schedule space, simplifying rather than optimizing, and finding our own peace with our relationship to time.This is Part 2 of a three-part series about Time running this spring.

In our hustle-driven culture, the idea of intentionally slowing down might seem counterproductive. But what if the key to achieving your goals isn't about working harder, but working smarter? After years of coaching entrepreneurs and navigating my personal business journey, I've discovered a powerful truth: consistent, intentional action beats sporadic bursts of energy every time. Rushing doesn't get you to your destination faster—it often creates more obstacles.Think about building a business or pursuing a personal goal. When we try to skip steps or do everything at once, we spread ourselves thin and compromise quality. Instead, focus on one bridge at a time. Complete it fully before moving to the next project. The secret is creating margin in your life. Build white space into your schedule. Make decisions purposefully, not from a place of panic. Track your progress differently—maybe it's hours invested rather than immediate financial returns. Remember, personal growth can't be rushed. The roots grow first, often invisibly, laying the foundation for future success. Your current circumstances are the result of past actions, so trust the process.Slow down. Breathe. Progress intentionally.  Free Resources:Sign up for the FREE mini-course - Your Most Productive WeekFollow Amanda on Instagram

In today's information-saturated world, we're constantly bombarded with content from social media, news, podcasts, emails, and more. But what if the key to productivity and personal growth is being intentional about what we consume? This week's podcast explores the power of setting constraints to protect your time, energy, and attention. The core message is simple: not all input is created equal, and you have the power to filter what enters your mental space. Start by asking critical questions about your consumption: Does this content support my current season of life? Does it help me grow, learn, or relax? Do I feel better or worse after engaging with it?  Practical strategies include:Limiting social media usageMuting or unfollowing distracting accountsRestricting news intakeFocusing on one podcast, book, or course at a timeUnsubscribing from unnecessary emailsThe goal isn't total deprivation, but intentional selection. Replace mindless scrolling with activities that truly serve you—journaling, walking, or simply being present. Remember, constraints aren't restrictions; they're tools for clarity, better decision-making, and reclaiming your focus. By curating your inputs, you create space for what truly matters. Are you ready to be more intentional about your consumption?  Free Resources:Sign up for the FREE mini-course - Your Most Productive WeekFollow Amanda on Instagram

We've all been there – wishing for just a few more hours in the day to accomplish our goals. But what if the solution isn't more time, but better time management? The key to productivity isn't about having more hours but maximizing the hours you already have. More time doesn't guarantee progress; instead, focus and intentionality are your true productivity drivers. Start by auditing how you currently spend your time. Identify hidden time leaks like social media scrolling, unnecessary context switching, and over-committing.Then, get strategic about your approach:Prioritize ruthlessly: Identify your top 1-3 priorities each weekPlan based on your energy, not just availabilityBatch similar tasks togetherSet firm time boundariesProtect your focus timeThe most productive people aren't working endless hours – they're working smarter. They understand that 30 minutes of focused, intentional work beats three scattered hours of distracted effort. Shift your mindset from time scarcity to time abundance. Remember, you have enough time for what truly matters. It's not about doing everything now, but doing the right things consistently. Your time is precious. Treat it that way.  Free Resources:Sign up for the FREE mini-course - Your Most Productive WeekFollow Amanda on Instagram

Doing Less: The Counterintuitive Path to Success In a world that glorifies hustle culture, the most powerful strategy might surprise you: do less.As an entrepreneur and podcast host, I've learned that spreading yourself thin doesn't lead to success—focused, intentional action does. Imagine your energy as a finite resource. When you divide it across multiple offers, projects, or commitments, you're diluting your potential. By consolidating your efforts, you create space for excellence. Whether in business or personal life, the magic happens when you narrow your focus. This isn't about laziness—it's about strategic prioritization. For me, this meant reducing my real estate management from 10 hours weekly to just 5 hours monthly, freeing up crucial time for family and personal growth. It's about understanding your priorities and having the courage to say no to everything that doesn't align.Consider these powerful strategies:Reduce business offersAutomate repetitive tasksDelegate non-essential workProtect your time and energyThe most successful entrepreneurs aren't those doing everything—they're those doing a few things exceptionally well. It's about quality over quantity, depth over breadth. Your challenge? Identify where you can do less. Create margin. Focus on what truly matters. The results might just transform your life.  Free Resources:Sign up for the FREE mini-course - Your Most Productive WeekFollow Amanda on Instagram

Hey everyone! This week on Life and Listings Podcast, we're diving into a game-changer for your real estate success: your database! I hear it all the time—"I don't have a sphere of influence!" But trust me, you do. In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how to uncover and organize your contacts (from your phone, emails, even old address books!) into a solid database that can grow your business. Plus, I'll share some practical steps to build connections without feeling salesy—because relationships matter!   “We're going to start with a spreadsheet, and then we're going to start going through, what information am I missing on these people? Am I missing phone numbers? Am I missing emails? Whatever that is, then I'm going to start going through and I could start reaching out to some of these people, and this is a perfect way as a touch point to reach out”   Key Takeaways: You Already Have a Sphere of Influence (SOI) – Many agents think they don't have an SOI, but in reality, they do. Contacts are scattered across phones, emails, social media, and even old address books. Start by Organizing Your Existing Contacts – Gather contacts from various sources (phone, email, past invitations, etc.) into a spreadsheet before transferring them into a CRM. Segment and Update Information Thoughtfully – Don't immediately start cold messaging people. Instead, update missing details through natural touchpoints, like asking for updated addresses for holiday cards. Use Social Media and Playbooks for Growth – Your Facebook friends and local network can be a great source for your database. Plus, tools like the Sphere of Influence Playbook can help agents refine and expand their database effectively.   Connect with Jennifer Staats: Website: staatssolutions.com Staats Solution Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/staatssolutions/ Jennifer Staats Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jennifertherealtor LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/staatssolutions/

Transitioning from a structured 9-to-5 job to self-employment can feel like navigating uncharted waters. The freedom is exhilarating, but without proper time management, productivity can quickly slip away.The key to success? Strategic planning and intentional routines. Calendar blocking emerges as a game-changing technique that helps entrepreneurs stay focused and achieve their goals. By dedicating specific time blocks to different tasks, you create a framework that maximizes productivity while preventing burnout.Creating internal accountability is crucial when you're your own boss. Set clear working hours that align with your energy levels, and establish accountability systems like finding a buddy or making public commitments. These strategies help maintain momentum and keep you motivated. Routine is your secret weapon. Develop consistent morning and evening rituals that prepare you for focused work. Minimize distractions by creating a dedicated workspace, setting digital boundaries, and protecting your personal time. Remember, the goal isn't to become a productivity machine, but to work efficiently.By implementing these strategies, you'll create margin in your business and life, giving you the freedom to pursue what truly matters.Want to dive deeper?
