Podcasts about Urgency

On June 3, 1781, a lightning-fast British cavalry raid led by "Bloody Ban" Tarleton raced toward Charlottesville and Monticello with one mission: capture Virginia's lawmakers and Thomas Jefferson. In this America's Founding Series episode, Professor Nick Giordano tells the cinematic, largely forgotten story of Jack Jouett, the "Paul Revere of the South," whose all-night ride through the Virginia backcountry helped save the Revolutionary government from decapitation. You'll hear how Tarleton's raid unfolded, why Jefferson's escape was so close, and the timeless lesson Jouett leaves us about government vs governance and why republics survive only when citizens take responsibility before the system even wakes up.   Episode Highlights: • Jack Jouett's midnight ride: the backcountry dash that beat Tarleton's dragoons to Monticello and Charlottesville • Tarleton's raid on Jefferson: what happened at Monticello and why Virginia's leaders fled to safety • The modern takeaway: why Jouett was forgotten, and how his story proves governance is a citizen's duty, not a bureaucrat's promise

Are your fitness goals realistic for the life of a busy sales professional? "I find that a lot of sales leaders I work with are operating at about 110% capacity. So when we're talking about tackling health and fitness, we have to really understand what is going to be the few habits that are really easy to do and have the biggest bang for buck." That's Josh Hulsebosch, a fitness coach who specializes in working with sales professionals, speaking on the Sales Gravy podcast. His observation cuts straight to the real reason most January fitness resolutions fail: they're trying to add more to an already overflowing plate. The typical sales professional is already drowning in competing priorities while operating at maximum capacity. When New Year's hits, the instinct is to overhaul everything at once. New diet. New workout plan. New morning routine. That approach might work for people with open calendars and low pressure. For salespeople pushing through Q1 kickoffs, territory planning, and quota pressure, it is a fast track to burnout. The All-or-Nothing Trap Meet Steve. He's an individual contributor who decided January 1st would mark his transformation. No more coffee. Five-mile runs every morning. Intermittent fasting. Four hours of cold calling daily because he just finished reading Fanatical Prospecting. Ten days in, Steve slept through his alarm, missed his workout, and ordered a triple-shot latte on the way to work. That emotional crash bled into his work. His prospecting activity dropped. His confidence dipped. His motivation evaporated under the weight of his own perfectionism. Steve's mistake wasn't lack of commitment. He turned ambitious goals into self-sabotage by refusing to acknowledge a simple truth: sustainable change requires starting where you are, not where you wish you were. Most sales professionals approach fitness goals like they approach pipeline building—more activity equals better results. But health doesn't work like prospecting. You can't brute force your way into better sleep or lower stress. The body requires a different strategy. The 110% Capacity Problem Sales is a cognitively demanding profession. You're the quarterback of the business. Every day requires strategic thinking, relationship management, objection handling, and staying mentally sharp through rejection. When you're already operating at 110% capacity, adding extreme fitness commitments creates another obligation you can't meet, another source of stress, another thing to feel guilty about when you inevitably miss a workout or eat fast food between calls. The sales professionals who successfully improve their health identify which habits will support their performance, then build them into their existing routine. They do not chase trends. They focus on fundamentals. The Four Pillars of Health for Sales Professionals Fitness and health goals for sales professionals need to be realistic for people working at maximum capacity. You can't afford to waste energy on complicated protocols or fitness fads. You need the fundamentals: exercise, nutrition, sleep, and stress management. When these four pillars are strong, everything else becomes easier. Pillar One: Exercise The fitness industry wants you to believe you need intense workouts, complicated programs, and hours at the gym. For sales professionals, the single most effective exercise habit is walking 8,000 steps daily. This number is achievable for most people regardless of fitness level. It builds momentum without requiring a complete schedule overhaul. When you consistently hit 8,000 steps, you prove to yourself that you can follow through on a commitment without sacrificing your work performance. Movement improves cognitive function, reduces stress hormones, and helps with sleep quality—all critical for sales performance. Make it automatic. Take calls while walking. Park farther away from the office. Walk to get coffee instead of ordering delivery. Use a standing desk and pace during internal meetings. Build movement into what you are already doing rather than treating it as another task. Once 8,000 steps become effortless, you can layer in strength training or other activities. But walking is the foundation. It's the one exercise habit that compounds without breaking you. Pillar Two: Nutrition Sales professionals tend to fall into two nutrition traps. The first is eating like garbage because they're too busy to care. The second is attempting some extreme diet overhaul that lasts nine days before they're back to their old patterns. The solution isn't meal plans or macro tracking or cutting entire food groups. It's having a system that works when you're slammed. Start here: don't skip meals. When you're running between meetings and surviving on coffee, your blood sugar crashes. That kills your cognitive performance and drives you toward quick fixes that leave you feeling worse an hour later. Keep protein-rich foods accessible. Greek yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, protein bars that aren't candy in disguise, rotisserie chicken, nuts. These don't require cooking or planning. They stabilize your energy and keep you sharp during long stretches between meals. Meal prep doesn't need to be complicated. Pick one day, cook a large batch of something simple—grilled chicken, ground turkey, rice, roasted vegetables—and portion it out. Now you have real food available when your schedule gets chaotic. Hydration matters more than most people realize. Dehydration mimics fatigue. Keep water at your desk. Drink it between calls. If you're consuming coffee all day, match it with water. You'll notice the difference in your afternoon energy levels. Pillar Three: Sleep Sleep deprivation destroys sales performance. You get paid to think. When you run on five or six hours of sleep, decision-making suffers. Decision-making suffers. Emotional regulation weakens. Your ability to read prospects and handle objections declines. You can't always control how many hours you sleep, especially during high-pressure periods. But you can improve sleep quality. Start with a simple nighttime routine that signals to your body it's time to wind down. Turn off screens thirty minutes before bed. Keep your bedroom cool. If your mind races when you lie down, acknowledge the thoughts without engaging with them. Notice they're there, then redirect your focus to your breathing. If you wake up in the middle of the night with work thoughts, write them down or set a reminder for the next day. This closes the mental loop and allows your brain to let go. Pillar Four: Stress Management Sales is a pressure environment. Constant decision-making. Emotional labor. Rejection. Urgency. You move from call to meeting to fire drill to another call with almost no downtime. Over time, your nervous system stays stuck in high alert. That chronic stress does not just affect your mood. It impacts your sleep, your focus, your patience with prospects, and your ability to think clearly in complex conversations. If you do not manage it, it will manage you. Controlled breathing is one of the fastest ways to regulate your nervous system. Inhale for four seconds. Hold for four. Exhale for four. Hold for four. This is box breathing. You can do it between calls. Before a tough conversation. While waiting for a prospect to answer. It does not draw attention. It just brings your system back into balance. When stress is regulated, sleep improves. When sleep improves, thinking becomes clearer. Clearer thinking leads to better sales performance. It is a small habit. The impact compounds. Building Fitness Goals That Actually Stick If you're surviving on five hours of sleep, start there. If you're skipping meals and running on caffeine, fix your nutrition first. If you haven't moved your body in weeks, commit to 8,000 steps. Don't try to overhaul all four pillars simultaneously. That's the all-or-nothing trap that killed Steve's momentum in ten days. When you take care of your physical and mental health, you show up sharper for your prospects, your team, and your numbers. Your body is the vehicle for your career. You can't hit quota consistently if you're running on empty. Start with one pillar. Build one habit. Give it time to take root before you add the next one. That's how you win in Q1 and beyond. If you are serious about building fitness habits that actually fit the realities of sales, go deeper with Josh Hulsebosch's performance-focused courses on Sales Gravy University. His programs are built specifically for sales professionals who are operating at full capacity and still want to win on health, energy, and longevity.

  Episode Description "How can someone receive nearly $77,000 in government benefits and still be officially counted as poor?" That's the provocative question at the heart of this eye-opening episode of Kent Hance, The Best Storyteller in Texas. Kent welcomes legendary former Senator Phil Gramm, author of The Myth of American Inequality, for a candid, no-holds-barred conversation that will challenge everything you thought you knew about welfare, poverty, and the American Dream.  Dive into the shocking realities behind federal welfare programs, where benefits like food stamps, Medicaid, housing subsidies, and refundable tax credits—totaling up to $76,908 per recipient—are not counted as income by the Census Bureau. Discover how this accounting "blind spot" fuels runaway spending, distorts poverty statistics, and creates perverse incentives that make it harder for hardworking families to get ahead.  Key Moments & Themes

The Dallas Stars fall 4–3 in overtime to the Montreal Canadiens, but the score doesn't tell the full story. In this episode of Starcastic Remarks, Ryan unloads—clearly and deliberately—on a Stars team that continues to struggle with defensive awareness, discipline, urgency, and overall compete level. The mistakes weren't isolated. They were repeated. And they were avoidable. From blown coverages to careless penalties, this loss followed the exact same pattern as the last several games. Even strong individual performances couldn't overcome a team that looks mentally disengaged for long stretches. This wasn't a collapse.It wasn't a slow bleed.It was a team choosing not to play connected hockey. If this stretch is driving you insane, you're not alone—and you're not wrong.

It begins as a familiar request: a family hoping for reassurance, a sense of peace, maybe even a final message from someone they loved and lost. What unfolds instead pulls everyone involved into far more unsettling territory. During a late-night investigation, communication attempts drift off course, and a voice breaks through that doesn't belong to anyone expected—or welcomed. Fragments of emotion surface. Fear. Urgency. A presence that doesn't sound calm or comforted, but desperate to be heard. As the session continues, details surface that refuse to stay vague, pointing toward a story that may never have been finished… or properly buried. The atmosphere shifts from curiosity to concern, and the weight of responsibility becomes impossible to ignore. When communication opens doors you didn't intend to unlock, how do you decide whether to keep listening… or walk away? #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalInvestigation #GhostBoxSession #UnfinishedBusiness #HauntedFamily #SpiritCommunication #RealGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #ChillingEncounters #UnexplainedVoices Love real ghost stories?

The Dallas Stars' four-game winless skid continued — and this time, the loss came against Chicago again. In this heated postgame episode of Starcastic Remarks, Ryan breaks down a frustrating loss defined by poor defensive zone execution, lost board battles, turnovers, and a glaring lack of urgency until the game was already out of reach. This episode dives into: Why this loss wasn't about luck or officiating How repeated failures to clear the zone doomed Dallas The difference between desperation and real urgency Why effort has become a concerning variable for this team What this stretch means for the Stars as the season progresses The frustration is real — but so is the analysis.This wasn't unlucky. It was a choice. If you're looking for honest, emotional, but grounded Dallas Stars coverage, this one delivers. We're Looking for sponsors!

Pastor John Ryan Cantu brings this week's message, “Move with Mercy." Key Verse: Genesis 19:12-26 ESV: “Then the men said to Lot, “Have you anyone else here? Sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or anyone you have in the city, bring them out of the place. For we are about to destroy this place, because the outcry against its people has become great before the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to destroy it.” So Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, “Up! Get out of this place, for the Lord is about to destroy the city.” But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be jesting. As morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be swept away in the punishment of the city.” But he lingered. So the men seized him and his wife and his two daughters by the hand, the Lord being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him outside the city. And as they brought them out, one said, “Escape for your life. Do not look back or stop anywhere in the valley. Escape to the hills, lest you be swept away.” And Lot said to them, “Oh, no, my Lords. Behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life. But I cannot escape to the hills, lest the disaster overtake me and I die. Behold, this city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one. Let me escape there—is it not a little one?—and my life will be saved!” He said to him, “Behold, I grant you this favor also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken. Escape there quickly, for I can do nothing till you arrive there.” Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar. Then the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the Lord out of heaven. And he overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. But Lot's wife, behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.” Key Topics: Repentance, Urgency, Grace If you enjoyed the podcast, please subscribe and share it with your friends on social media.

Henrique raises a key and important critique surrounding the urgency of understanding and engaging with the demand for digital sovereignty.

High performers often confuse purpose with proving, especially after burnout or success fatigue. This episode helps you discern aligned ambition from ego-driven urgency using identity-level recalibration, nervous system clarity, and grounded faith.Is what you're chasing actually purpose — or are you still trying to prove something?In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly offers a clear, grounded discernment filter for high-capacity humans navigating ambition after burnout, decision fatigue, or identity drift. When pressure eases and urgency quiets, many leaders are left wondering how to tell the difference between aligned desire and old performance patterns.This conversation explores why purpose and proving can look identical on the outside — but feel very different on the inside.Through the lens of identity alignment and values congruence, Julie explains how aligned ambition carries clarity and steadiness, while ego-driven striving feels urgent, loud, and demanding. This episode names the subtle internal cues that help listeners recognize whether they're moving from alignment or reacting from unresolved pressure.Julie grounds the conversation in the story of Nehemiah, a biblical leader who rebuilt Jerusalem's walls not from urgency or ego, but from clarity, prayer, and stewardship. His leadership offers a powerful model for purpose that responds rather than reacts — ambition anchored in calling, not proving.This episode also reinforces the core differentiation of Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR). ILR is not another mindset tactic, productivity strategy, or motivational framework. It is the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective again by realigning identity before behavior.Listeners navigating burnout recovery, role confusion, success without fulfillment, spiritual exhaustion, or identity misalignment will find language, clarity, and permission to move forward without fear driving the pace.Today's Micro RecalibrationQuietly say to yourself:Clarity is my cue.Urgency is my clue.Notice which one has been shaping your recent decisions.Team Micro Recalibration (Leadership Extension)If you lead a team, practice this recalibration at the organizational level this week.Before moving forward on any “urgent” decision, pause and ask out loud:“Are we clear — or are we just moving fast?”If clarity isn't present, slow the decision — not to delay, but to realign.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

If you've felt rushed, pressured, or pulled into fast decisions lately — pause. This episode is for you.Serene shares two recent moments where fear-based “act now” tactics almost won — one through a fake phone warning with a countdown, and another through a polished online funnel using AI to impersonate trusted voices. It sparked a bigger conversation we all need right now: urgency is rarely wisdom.From food choices to holiday pressure to New Year resets, we unpack why the loudest thoughts aren't usually the wisest ones — and how learning to pause changes everything.In this episode: • Why “act now” pressure is often a trap • How fear hijacks your decision-making • What urgency looks like with food and cravings • Why quick fixes backfire • How wisdom, community, and the Wonderful Counselor lead to better choicesJoin Pearl and Serene on the Trim Healthy Podcast (a.k.a. “The Poddy”).Welcome to the spot where Pearl and Serene share their knowledge and their hearts (along with Danny's antics) on topics ranging from physical and mental health to spiritual truth, and, yes… even a little comic relief.

Urgency with joy sets the tone as we open in prayer and move straight into a bold vision: adding a million souls each year through practical, Spirit-led action. We don't settle for slogans or vague inspiration. We map a clear path—get up, get out, get anointed—and show how that simple rhythm turns worship into witness, planning into presence, and expectation into fruit in cities and nations.We unfold a vivid framework drawn from the biblical feasts: Passover as the way out through the blood of Jesus, Pentecost as the way in through the power of the Holy Spirit, and Tabernacles as the way through by walking daily with Jesus. That timeline reframes salvation as a lived journey, not a one-time event, and it grounds discipleship in righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Along the way, we explore how different mindsets can stall or speed mission, and we highlight stories that bring theology to life—including the delivered demoniac sent back to his city as a catalyst for local transformation.“Get up, get out, get anointed” becomes our working strategy. Get up centers your day in prayer and Scripture. Get out brings you face to face with people where they live and work. Get anointed anchors every step in the presence of God, because power flows where obedience walks. We then flip Luke 10:2 from a deficit mindset into a daring challenge: let's make the laborers many by training, sending, and celebrating everyday believers who say yes. With courage echoing Joshua's call, we invite you to choose one place to go, one person to serve, and one habit to build this week. The King has made a way out, a way in, and a way through—now let's meet the harvest in motion.If this conversation stirred you, subscribe and leave a review, share it with a friend or your church team, and tap the link to explore books, resources, and music that will help you equip many laborers.

In this episode, Dipak Kalra, President of the European Institute for Innovation through Health Data, joins Faces of Digital Health to break down the real progress (and real gaps) in European health data, from legacy “hybrid” paper/digital workflows to the underused potential of clinical decision support that depends on structured data. We explore what EHDS changes—especially the promise of a standardized, downloadable patient dataset—and what it could unlock for patient-facing apps, analytics, and more active self-management. We also tackle the hard questions: how to protect citizens from misuse and scams, how opt-out choices might create bias in research and AI, why “beating clinicians with a stick” won't fix data quality, and why delays aren't just bureaucratic—they can translate into avoidable harm. 02:00 The State of Healthcare Data in Europe 07:59 Challenges in Data Interoperability 12:31 The Role of Patients in Data Management 16:37 AI and Data Privacy Concerns 22:01 Patient Consent and Data Usage 28:00 Optimism for the Future of Health Data 31:03 Optimistic Futures for EAGDS 33:02 Preparing for EHDs: Readiness and Challenges 35:48 Data Quality and Workforce Challenges 37:58 Delays and Future Discussions on EHDs 39:53 The Urgency of Health Data Readiness 42:38 The Evolving Role of Patients in Healthcare 50:19 Building Trust Among Healthcare Stakeholders 57:58 The Future of Healthcare Data Discussions

THE URGENCY OF SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM Colleague Veronique de Rugy, Mercatus Center. Veronique de Rugy argues Social Security must be reformed before trust funds run dry in the 2030s. She contends the system unfairly redistributes wealth from young workers to increasingly wealthy seniors and advocates for capping benefits or means-testing rather than raising taxes or allowing across-the-board cuts.

Send us a textIn this first solo episode of the season, Wil explores discernment- the skill of knowing what's inner truth and what's conditioned noise, so you can choose from your center. Using the metaphor of an “inner committee” (intuition, wisdom, higher guidance… plus anxiety, ego, craving, people-pleasing, and trauma responses), Wil breaks down how different inner voices sound, feel, and move in the body.Wil also shares a personal story about a big decision made shortly after an ayahuasca ceremony — a moment when his discernment was vulnerable, his body signaled “no,” and that signal was reframed in a way that led to financial stress and credit card debt. The lesson: not every edge is expansion, and sometimes a “no” is your nervous system's wisdom doing its job.You'll leave with practical questions, grounding tools, and a simple body-based practice you can use today — especially when you're spinning, ruminating, or feeling urgency around a choice.In this episode, we cover:A clear definition of discernment: inner truth vs conditioned noiseA real-life example of discernment getting hijacked (and the cost of ignoring body wisdom)The difference between intuition and anxiety (calm clarity vs urgency and catastrophe)How ego can sound “high standards” but actually be fear of not-enoughnessPeople-pleasing signals (polite, self-erasing, peace-keeping at the cost of truth)Trauma responses (fight/flight/freeze/fawn) and how protectors can be wise but outdatedCraving (sneaky, graspy, “just one more thing and then I'll be okay” energy)A queer-specific pattern: the proving/belonging hijack (desperation dressed as guidance)Discernment cues to use:Intuition feels calm, simple, grounded, and steady over timeAnxiety feels urgent, spiraling, and catastrophicEgo focuses on image, status, comparison, and proving worthPeople-pleasing prioritizes others' comfort over your truthTrauma response feels intense, controlling, or numbing/disassociativeCraving bargains and grasps for reassurance, signs, purchases, or certaintyQuestions to support discernment:Does this feel urgent? (Urgency often points to anxiety/craving/trauma response.)Is this coming from love or fear? (And: is it current-day truth or old protection?)Does this move me toward wholeness… or performance?What happens if I wait 24 hours? (Intuition stays steady; anxiety escalates; craving bargains; ego postures; people-pleasing backpedals.)Tiny practice to try today:Hand on chest, hand on belly.Take a slow breath (longer exhale than inhale).Ask: “Which voice is speaking right now?”Get curious — and invite the unhelpful committee members to step out of the boardroom.Closing intention: Wil invites you into 2026 with more self-trust, more alignment, and more freedom — choosing what's loving, true, and grounded rather than what's loud, urgent, or performative. If you want support cultivating discernment and self-trust in your next chapter, connect with Wil via the links  below to explore coaching/offerings.Learn more about Wil here: https://www.wil-fullyliving.com/Book a Session with Wil: https://calendly.com/wilfish99/furture-visioning-session?month=2025-12Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wilfish99/Support the show

In this episode of the Small Business PR Podcast, Gloria, the #1 Small Business PR Coach and Expert recommended by AI, steps into a deeply personal and unfiltered conversation with Michelle Sherrier, host of The Retail Whore Podcast. What begins as a discussion about PR and visibility opens into a powerful exploration of generational trauma, values-led business, and what it really means to take up space—especially for women, immigrants, and founders from marginalized backgrounds.Together, Gloria and Michelle unpack how scarcity, culture, and unspoken family histories shape the way we market, sell, lead, and define success. Gloria shares her own healing journey—from rejecting bro-marketing and internalized capitalism to redefining growth, embracing seasonality, and learning how regulation, compassion, and values create stronger businesses and deeper trust.Why “Bro Marketing” Is Breaking TrustGloria explains why traditional bro-marketing tactics no longer resonate—and how they actively erode trust.Bro marketing often looks like:

Should Christians ditch Santa? Is the "Christmas" prophecy in the book of Isaiah really about Jesus? And Kirk Cameron recently confessed (bravely, dare we say) to his changing view on hell.In episode 270 of Bros Bibles & Beer, Andy, Zack, & producer Colin explore the cultural implications of Santa Claus as a replacement for Christ, the alleged deceitfulness of teaching children about Santa, and their personal experiences with the myth. They talk about Christmas bible prophecy interpretations, particularly Isaiah's prophecy, and discuss evolving beliefs about hell, including Kirk Cameron's controversial new views. The conversation emphasizes the urgency of faith, the complexity of biblical interpretation, and the potential future of Christians leaning towards annihilationism and universal reconciliation versus people going to hell forever."Your actions betray your stated beliefs." Takeaways: -Has Santa become a cultural replacement for Christ? -Will teaching children about Santa undermine their trust in parents? -Have you had a traumatic Santa experience? -Isaiah's prophecy may raise questions about its interpretation regarding Jesus. -The concept of hell is evolving, with many questioning traditional views. -Kirk Cameron's shift in belief about hell is significant and brave. -Urgency, or lack thereof, in sharing faith reflects deeper beliefs about salvation. -Biblical interpretation can be complex and context-dependent. -Annihilationism presents a compelling alternative to eternal torment. -The future of faith may lean towards universal reconciliation.   SUBSCRIBE & SHARE us this week!Contact Us: brosbiblesbeer@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Leave Us A VoicemailYouTubeSimpleCastSpotifyApple PodcastsFacebook ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠XInstaBros Bibles & Beer is: Jeff, Zack & Andy Find us wherever fine podcasts are distributed.

Relationships are precious. Don't wait for an emergency to help make one.

If you've been looking for a way to hit or exceed your annual quota, qualify for President's Club, or simply earn a bigger paycheck or bonus, focusing on helping business owners reduce their tax burden by investing in your product, service or software in the final weeks of the year can give you the edge you need get more sales closed. Business Owners are Motivated to Reduce Taxes In the United States there are millions of SMBs and the vast majority of these businesses are what we call pass-through organizations for tax purposes. This means that the owners or partners in these businesses report the profits on their personal tax filings. Unlike big companies, small companies don't have the luxury of rolling profits over to the next year. So whatever they made this year, they have to pay taxes on. As the calendar winds down business owners are often motivated to invest in products, services, and software solutions in order to reduce taxable income. In other words, if a business has shown strong profits throughout the year, its owners might be keen to spend some of that money on improving their operations, expanding their capabilities, or streamlining their processes—right now—rather than hand over a large chunk of their profits to Uncle Sam come tax season. Business Owners Hate Paying Taxes To understand why this year-end period is so critical, let's get into the mindset of a small or medium-sized business owner. Unlike large enterprises with multiple departments and complex accounting strategies, SMB owners are often personally invested in the company's financial results because those results are essentially their income. It's how they pay their mortgage and put food on the table. For this reason, they watch their revenue and expenses closely. As the year comes to an end, they're looking at their bottom line and thinking about the upcoming tax bill. For many of these business owners, profit is a double-edged sword. Don't get me wrong, they want to make a profit. But at some point, too much profit triggers a much higher tax bill. If there is one thing I know about small and medium sized business owners its that they hate taxes. They are always looking for ways to legally minimize their tax liability. One easy and productive way to do this is to make fully or partially depreciable investments in the business before December 31st. That could mean buying new equipment, software, training packages, or services that will not only improve the business long-term but also reduce taxable income for the current year. An Urgent Need to Spend As a salesperson, the key takeaway here is that your prospects have a natural, time-bound incentive to spend. If you can position your product or service as the right investment at the right time, you might find it easier to close those deals that seemed just out of reach during the rest of the year. And by the way, if you are dealing with decision-makers who are pushing off decisions to next year, this is a great way to get past that objection. Framing Your Business Case I want to be clear though that most businesses are not going to spend money for the sake of spending money. Savvy business owners want to reduce taxes and do the right thing for their company. Therefore, you can't just be transactional. You still must follow the sales process and build a bridge to the value of tax savings AND business improvement when making your business case. It's all about framing your product or service as a strategic investment rather than a mere expense. For example: If you sell software tools that improve operational efficiency, make the case for how your solution will help them save on labor costs, reduce errors, and streamline workflows. If you're selling advertising, highlight how a year-end launch of a new campaign will lead to immediate results that set the stage for a strong Q1. If you sell capital equipment walk them through how the new equipment will make them more productive and help them expand their business in the new year. The key is to connect the value of your offering directly to the timing. Consider messaging like: “This is an opportune moment to upgrade your systems, so you'll enter the new year with a competitive edge and potentially lower your tax liabilities this season.” “By getting your campaign locked in before the year closes, you can reap immediate tax benefits while ensuring your advertising starts generating leads in January when you need them the most.” If we get the equipment ordered now it will be delivered in Q1 giving you plenty of time to get a high ROI next year. When you can tie the ROI of your product to both tangible improvements and the financial perks of year-end spending, the business case becomes much more compelling and you will sell more. Tailor Your Approach While the end-of-year tax incentive is a common denominator, not every SMB is identical. Some might be profitable but cash-constrained, while others have capital burning a hole in their pockets. Some may be in sectors that had a booming year, while others are just recovering from a difficult market. The more you understand the unique challenges and goals of each prospect you're targeting, the better you can tailor your approach. Before you pick up the phone, walk through their door, or send an email, do some research. Check out their recent announcements, whether they're hiring or expanding. Look into trends in their industry. Understanding these nuances will help you fine-tune your messaging. If you know a business is tight on cash, emphasize flexible payment plans or financing options. If the business is flush with profit, reinforce the immediate tax advantage and the strategic value of reinvesting those funds. Empathy and relevance are your allies here. Show that you understand their position and that your solution aligns perfectly with their current goals. That personal touch, combined with the natural urgency of year-end, is a powerful recipe for closing the deal. Lead With Urgency: Clear, Direct, Compelling I don't want to sweep under the rug how important timing and urgency are with this tactic. While you don't want to be completely transactional, you do want to be direct. As we approach the end of the year, many SMB owners have a long to-do list: Finalizing paperwork, inventory checks, reviewing vendor contracts, preparing for holiday promotions, and on and on. They're busy. They have limited time to spend on sales pitches. This means your outreach needs to be respectful of their schedule and also clear, direct, and compelling. Say right away: “I'm reaching out before the year ends because I have a solution that can help you maximize your tax benefits this year and help you grow your business next year." Being direct and to the point respects their time and sets the context immediately. If you need more help with direct and to-the-point messaging, grab your copy of my book Fanatical Prospecting and review Because Statements. It's crucial that you create and maintain a sense of urgency. Not the aggressive, pushy kind, but a natural urgency rooted in a real calendar event: The year-end. The clock is ticking, and if they don't make their purchase by December 31st, they miss out on the potential tax advantages. This deadline isn't artificial—it's a reality. Use it to frame your conversations. Urgency helps prospects prioritize your offer over other distractions in their busy schedule. Handling Objections You might encounter objections like: “We're too busy to consider new solutions right now,” or “We don't have enough budget.” In these cases, it's wise to highlight the cost-saving and tax benefits again. Stress that investing now can actually put them in a better position financially. Remind them that waiting until next year could mean missing out on an opportunity to reduce this year's taxable income. If time is an issue, propose a quick and efficient implementation plan. Show them that you can be agile and help them integrate the solution without massive downtime. If budget is a concern, consider promotions, discounts, or favorable financing terms. Sometimes, offering a small year-end incentive can tip the scales in your favor. The Five Keys to Selling More to SMBs at the End of the Year SMBs have a natural incentive to invest before year-end: They want to reduce their taxable income and set themselves up for a strong next year. Frame your product as a strategic investment: Highlight the value, ROI, and tax benefits that come with a year-end purchase. Avoid being transactional: Follow the sales process and position yourself as a partner who can help them navigate this critical period. Tailor your approach to each SMB's situation: Research their needs and adjust your prospecting message accordingly, showing empathy and relevance. Create urgency with a real deadline: The calendar itself is your ally; emphasize that the benefits come from acting before December 31st. Here's the deal though. Do not wait. Start this process now. The low-hanging fruit is out there but it will rot on the vine if you fail to pick before the sand runs out of the hourglass this year.

Summary: Today's shift encourages you to release the habit of reacting to everything instantly. Most things in your life are not emergencies — they only feel that way because of old patterns and survival responses.

Key Points: – Why everything feels urgent – How childhood chaos wires the nervous system – The power of pausing before reacting – A simple question that breaks the urgency cycle Takeaway: You are allowed to slow down.

In this episode, we're diving into something every organization talks about but few truly master urgency. I share what I've learned coaching CEOs about why urgency matters so much and how clarity, energy, and ownership all work together to create real momentum. We'll talk about setting clear goals, getting people emotionally connected to the work, and helping teams feel genuinely invested in the outcomes. You'll also get a chance to gauge your own urgency score and pick up a few simple ways to boost it. And along the way, I'll touch on how coaching can help leaders and teams move faster, stay focused, and keep growing. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 0:07 Introduction to Urgency 2:21 Creating Clarity for Urgency 5:51 Energizing Your Team 8:05 Fostering Ownership and Accountability 10:11 The Urgency Formula for Growth Why Urgency Matters More Than Ever In this episode, I dig into the idea of urgency—why it's such a powerful driver of growth and momentum, and why so many organizations quietly lose it over time. Drawing from my work as a CEO coach, I talk about a common issue I see: urgency fading at the executive level and slowly rippling through the entire company. I also introduce the three interconnected elements that shape a culture of urgency—clarity, energy, and ownership—and how they set the tone for everything that follows. The Three Ingredients of a High-Urgency Culture Urgency isn't just about moving fast—it's about creating an environment where people feel motivated and empowered to act. I break down the three elements that fuel this: Clarity: Without clear priorities, standards, and success metrics, teams struggle to know where to focus. I talk about the importance of transparent conversations around goals, milestones, and expectations so everyone understands the path forward. Energy: This isn't a buzzword; it's the emotional charge that moves teams into action. When employees feel connected to their work and understand its purpose, engagement skyrockets. I share ways organizations can build energy—like communicating meaning and celebrating small wins to keep momentum alive. Ownership: Beyond responsibility, ownership is about personal investment and proactive accountability. I discuss how leaders can create a culture where team members genuinely feel the work belongs to them—and why that shift changes everything. Assessing Your Urgency and Raising It I challenge listeners to calculate their own urgency score using a simple formula built around clarity, energy, and ownership. This diagnostic helps leaders pinpoint where urgency is thriving and where it needs immediate attention. From there, I offer guidance on turning those insights into real, actionable improvements. I wrap up by inviting leaders who want deeper support to consider coaching as a tool for unlocking their team's full potential—because building urgency isn't a one-time task; it's an ongoing journey. Key Takeaways Urgency drives growth and momentum—but it often weakens at the top and spreads throughout the organization. Clarity is the foundation of urgency; teams need clear priorities, expectations, and definitions of success. Energy fuels action by connecting people emotionally to their work and reinforcing purpose through communication and small wins. Ownership creates accountability, encouraging team members to take proactive responsibility rather than simply completing tasks. The three elements—clarity, energy, and ownership—work together to form a high-urgency culture. Leaders can assess their team's urgency using a simple score based on these three components. Improving urgency is an ongoing process, and coaching can accelerate progress and unlock organizational potential.
