Goal Setting & Achievement Podcast: Business|productivity

Even the most motivated of achievers can sometimes feel unmotivated. So what do you do in those crucial moments of inner negotiation - do I commit to two steps forward or relent to two steps backwards - and how do you justify your decision?  What if not being motivated to achieve your goals is a sign of a deeper, unresolved issue? Let’s review five questions to ask yourself to help you uncover the possible reasons you’re not motivated to achieve your goals to help you achieve your goals. Think of the moments that you find yourself not motivated to achieve your goals not as a reason to beat yourself up for being weak or less than perfect, but as an opportunity to check-in and examine if your goals are still in alignment with where you’re headed. Goals should inspire you into action and propel you along your path to success; if they’re not, use these questions I’ve shared with you to help you uncover the real issue. For more help on creating your ideal business and ideal life, reach out to me today and schedule

Today we are talking about Overcoming Your Accountability Apprehension to Achieve Even More Than You Might Have Thought Possible.Many people suffer from accountability apprehension. They feel that opening themselves up to scrutiny from others will leave them vulnerable, and – sometimes – even worry that this window into their successes and failures can hold them back in any business or workplace. While this may have been true years ago, the fact is that today’s culture is one that is obsessed with personal growth and looks favorably on individuals that take intentional measures to become better, more productive, more positive versions of themselves.The mark of a successful businessperson is often his or her ability to adapt when necessary. Failure to pivot well when needed can lead to business failure at a catastrophic level, whether that looks like an inability to implement change that employees require to maintain job satisfaction, or the inability to anticipate changing client needs in time to meet those n

Poor follow through – consciously deciding to do something, but then not doing it for whatever reason – is a fact of life for many of us. Most people find that the gap between their intentions and their actions is too vast, and fall short of doing what is required to achieve their goals. Think about the promises you’ve made to yourself in the past. Of all the promises and commitments you have made to yourself, how many have you kept?This phenomenon takes a toll on virtually every aspect of our life. Our lack of ability to commit to taking action prevents us from achieving personal, financial, relationship, and career goals that would otherwise be well within our reach.Have you ever considered the cost of poor follow through in your life? Think about a goal that you have failed to meet in the past. Was your failure to follow through a by-product of the fact that you were really okay with the way things were to begin with? Or does the poor follow through bother you? Does the knowledge that you didn’t follow thr

Persistence is to success as excuses are to failure.  Never, never give up - there is always a way.If you want more, you WILL find a way, because there always IS a way.  With persistence and consistent action, you will make it happen.  If you don't believe me, keep listening.Did you know that Thomas Edison had over 10,000 failed attempts to create the light bulb before he was successful?  His persistence was as valuable as his invention.  10,000 failed attempts and look what he created!  Even if you’re not out to change the world, what could you create with an unresolved persistence?Persistence always pays off - and sometimes big time!  It's a known fact that more business deals are inked when one of the parties is persistent.  Now, being persistent is not the same as being pushy; rather, it is voicing your ideal fit and expertise to someone that may not be aware of the benefits they will receive when working with you.  They will appreciate your persistence and the benefits - so you have to make the

Competition in the business world is always going to be fierce.  Creating a successful model for running your business is not necessarily enough to be at the top of your industry.  There are other important factors that go into what companies rise to the top and stay there.  Of all the companies in the Fortune 500 in 1955, only 61 (or 12%) were still in business in 2014.  What set these companies apart from the ones that failed?  Is there a formula for being on top and remaining there?   Companies that have had a long run at the top of their industry are able to be successful when they do the 8 actions I share.   Getting to the top is not an easy road and staying there is even harder as all eyes are now on you as the target.  Once you have found success, it is not time to lessen the pressure.  Continue to work hard to stay at the place that you worked so hard to get to.   If you would like to make more money and work less, so you can ultimately enjoy having your ideal business and ideal life, reach out to me

Confidence doesn’t always come naturally to everyone, and it often needs to be built. For people putting in the work to build confidence in themselves and all that they do, it can pay off immensely and lead to even greater success. When you believe in yourself, you set the bar higher and create opportunities for yourself to rise to the top, as you would expect.Let’s explore five ways that increased confidence leads to a more successful business and life.Being confident enough to set boundaries also protects your mental health. Rather than doing activities you don’t need to do and becoming resentful later on, you can protect your mental bandwidth and just pick and choose what you want to work on. More time, and a greater mental bandwidth, equals even greater success.Download my Free Delegation Exercise to help you identify more even activities to delegate, by going to https://bit.ly/Delegation-Exercise. Building confidence is not something you do overnight—the choices you make, the mindset you embody, and the

Having a winning attitude is essential to being successful. Theodore Roosevelt once said ‘Believe YOU CAN and you are half way there’. A lot of times, we end up defeating ourselves before we begin by having a negative outlook on what is going on. We sometimes tend to look at opportunities and only see roadblocks, or see only a glass that is ‘half empty’ as opposed to ‘half full’. Having a ‘winning attitude’ is all about how we view the world around us. It can be very easy to only see problems when we face hard times and new challenges, and yet the most successful people in the world have always shown that outlook plays a huge part in how successful you are. So how can you have a winning attitude, even in the face of adversity? Well, let’s explore 5 tips that might point you in the right direction. Following these 5 tips will get you well on your way to defeating that negative frame of mind that threatens to dampen your spirits and discourage you when times get tough. What you can imagine is what your potentia

Sticking to your goals is not always easy, especially if the next level of success is at stake. It can be very tempting to give up and stay where you are because the next level requires a lot more work… but this is not what you really want for yourself! Part of setting worthwhile goals and sticking to them is that this process allows you to grow as a person. If you give up and go back to the way you were before, then you are not going to have the peace of mind and confidence that comes from KNOWING that you can achieve your goals when you set your mind to it!Maybe your goals are business related, or maybe they are personal, or both (which is what I recommend to have great work life balance). Regardless of what they are, they MUST be important to you…so why give up on them? Life is what you make of it, and achieving goals is one way to shape your life on YOUR terms. Goals are something that nobody can take from you, which is why sticking to them is SO important! Let’s now explore 6 tips for sticking to your go

Communication is critical to every aspect of interaction with anyone and everyone.  As a successful businessperson, you have no doubt realized the importance of communication.

As humans, we all have desires and dreams- something that you truly want to achieve, be, and feel. But many constraints in life inhibit us from reaching our goals.Often, it is our self-liming beliefs that prevent us from becoming our true selves and achieving even greater success. We imagine our ideal life and then say, ‘I’m not good enough,’ ‘I don’t deserve it,’ or ‘I can’t do that.’ These are all examples of toxic, self-limiting beliefs, living in our conscious and subconscious originating from past experiences and memories. To transform your dreams into a reality, you need to address your limiting beliefs head-on. Let’s explore what limiting beliefs are and how you can challenge them to achieve personal greatness.What are Limiting Beliefs?  Beliefs encompass conditioned falsities built upon old memories of pain and pleasure. The foundations of our beliefs depend on how we interpret and emotionalize our experiences. Our limiting beliefs are unconscious thoughts that act as defense mechanisms to avoid pain,

More than just simple goal setting or repeated affirmations, manifesting self-esteem in your life is a surefire way to amp up your personal and work life, so you can begin living the next-level life you’re dreaming of. While it is a relatively simple process, it is nevertheless something many people fail to do in their lives. Essentially, manifesting something is approaching it with extreme intentionality and specificity. Rather than being vague with what you want, you focus intently on it, and go to great lengths to describe to yourself what it would look like and feel like to achieve it. Your level of confidence and self-esteem has tremendous impact on your ability to perform at work and to be successful in the entirety of your life. Being able to intentionally boost your confidence and tangibly improve your overall self-esteem is key for a happier and a more driven life.There are many reasons why people push off the process of manifestation, but truly successful individuals have figured out how to harness

We all have fears that stop us from stepping into our potential. It’s what we’ve come to call the comfort zone - the place where fear is minimized to allow for daily life functioning. But we don’t always realize just how much we give up for the sake of comfort.In an effort to minimize our greatest fears we can be sacrificing our heart’s deepest desires. In the name of comfort, we sacrifice potential. It reminds me of a quote by Tony Robbins that says (paraphrasing), the dance of life happens between our greatest fears and our greatest potential, which translates into life happens outside your comfort zone. Sounds good in theory, but how do we move through our terrifying fears to break free of limitations and embrace our true potential? The process of doing something you haven’t done before is the great risk because you are stepping out of your comfort zone and stepping into your true potential. If it feels a lot like stepping out into mid-air - it’s because it is. You are literally stepping into new territory

Failure is a word that’s easily misunderstood and often feared. Especially when it comes to your business, failure is not something we necessarily want as part of that entrepreneur journey. But the truth is, failure is something that’s inevitable and necessary for success.By embracing failure and seeing opportunities for growth, it takes away the power that fear holds over us. It’s what you do with that failure that determines the outcome of your business. If you shift your mindset, you’ll understand that through failure comes the growth we need and the lessons we learn to reach successful milestones.Let’s explore seven keys to help you turn failure into success.A lot of what differentiates failure from success is perspective. When you choose to see failure as a positive aspect for growth, when you let go of the fear of failure, when you take time to reflect and stay focused on your goals, you shift your mindset from a negative one to a positive one. Failure is something to be grateful for, because it provide
