Happy Productive: Business Growth Fueled by Freedom & Adventure

Today we’ll be talking about Slacking Off in Your Business.

This topic was prompted from a coaching client who said to me “I’m slacking off in my business”

He is so NOT a slacker. It was something completely different and that’s where I’d like to focus today. Let’s talk about how to tell if you’re really slacking off and if so, how to get back on track.

Today I am joined by Bobbi Kahler, who was given a 2% chance of living when she got sick and collapsed 17 years ago. Cut to today where she is a speaker and trainer with over 20 years of experience. She’s built a coaching career where she has worked with over 3,000 people and has become an entrepreneur, author, podcast host, workshop leader, avid athlete and resilient survivor.

Through her own personal transformation journey she has learned that no matter what we are facing, thriving is absolutely possible. We are the authors of our stories and it is our choices, day in and day out, that dictate what kind of life we are able to live. Bobbi is no stranger to adversity having faced childhood abuse, and needing to work multiple jobs at 23 just to say afloat. But through her perseverance, resilience and life lessons she’s learned, she rewrote her own narrative. 

In this episode Bobbi and I share an insightful conversation on how important our choices are, how much power we actually have over our lives, and how you can change your life starting today.

Today let's dive into focus and time management. Time management is NOT about getting more done in a day – it’s about being able to focus on the right things to get done each day and then staying committed and disciplined to completing them.

Today I'm sharing six ways to sharpen your focus when it comes to time management...

Businesses suffer when their owners do not prioritize their health.

Ellen Goldman, M.Ed., NBC-HWC, PCC, is a wellness coach, healthy lifestyle and weight loss coach, speaker, and author. She is passionate about serving others and helping them achieve their health and wellness goals.

Ellen explains that the real challenge lies in behavior change. Many people attempt to overhaul their lifestyles, but this approach often leads to burnout and failure. The key is mindset and motivation, which serve as the foundation for lasting change.

Ellen introduces her MAP framework—Mindset, Awareness, and Preparation—as the blueprint for sustainable health habits. The first step is shifting your mindset from "I don't have time for self-care" to "I make time for self-care."

Ellen also explains success in weight loss differently. It is a result of correcting overall lifestyle imbalances—such as stress, sleep, and exercise—rather than simply restricting food intake.

Start with small, manageable changes and embrace a mindset of long-term health; this will lead to both personal fulfillment and business success.
