Ep 26: What does it really take to beat procrastination with Cristina Roman

09/22/20 • 18 min

Let’s be honest – We all procrastinate in one way or another. What does procrastinating look like for you? For some of us, it may be an activity that takes our focus away from the real work that needs to be done. For others, it’s decision avoidance. Solving your procrastination, regardless of what it looks like, requires a shift in mindset. In today’s episode of The Money, Career & Motherhood Podcast I’m talking with Cristina Roman, founder of Pique Coaching, about how to beat your procrastination once and for all.

About the Host:

Janice Scholl has spent her entire career talking about money and business. Through her time as a commercial banker, consultant, and mentor to budding entrepreneurs, she helped clients create solid business and financial strategies to help propel their business to success. While working with aspiring female entrepreneurs, Janice noticed that the same four themes kept repeating:

Many women are uncomfortable with finance, both in their business and in their personal life.
Women want access to more women mentors and advisors.
Women often start businesses because they feel the corporate world doesn’t fit their lifestyle. Few are motivated by purely financial reasons.
Mothers didn’t want money to drive their family decisions.

From these themes, The Money, Career, & Motherhood Podcast was born. Now Janice spends her time helping mothers gain confidence and understanding about money, career, and business topics as they relate to motherhood and family – the way many women actually think about money. Janice loves helping mothers implement business and financial strategies within their families to help each family member thrive.

Ep 25: Creating efficient mama systems with Laura Hernandez

Never has there been a more chaotic time in the lives of many mamas! I know many of us...ahem, me...have thought once or twice lately that there’s no way to improve the efficiency and reduce the stress in our household because of all the things we have going on. But it’s possible! In today’s episode, I’m interviewing Laura Hernandez of Mama Systems. With 10 children and 20+ appointments weekly, “peace” is not the word you would probably guess to describe Laura’s household. Yet somehow, it’s what she’s created and now she’s working with moms across the country to bring that same peace and calm into their homes. I talk with Laura about what it was like when her family grew by six children in less than five years, and how letting go of what others thought of her was a requirement to create the family life where she, her husband, and children can thrive.

About the Guest:

My name is Laura Hernandez. My husband, Tony, and I are raising our ten amazing children in the Dallas area. In the past four and a half years we have added six new children to our family... three biologically and three through adoption.

Going from four to ten kids was hard work. And, on top of having a large family, we are also not your "typical" family. We have three kiddos in public school, we are homeschooling five kids, and - with three kiddos having special needs - we have over 20 appointments weekly.

I read many books on homeschooling schedules, large family logistics, and family dynamics; but I found over and over again that nothing that was already out there was fully relevant to our family!

I had to figure out what worked for US and I had to do it myself. Books didn't have the perfect answers. How could we manage all of our logistics and have-tos and make time to intentionally instill the ideals that our family values? It took me years to develop systems and life hacks to keep our family running and organized. But after creating systems that helped our family run smoothly, it reduced my daily workload and my house became a place of peace... yes, even with 10 kids!

Out of these years of hard work, Mama Systems was born. I want to save other Mamas the pains I went through to figure it out on my own. I want to bring more peace to their homes by coaching them through ideas, schedules, incentives, chores, and delegating.

Ep 27: Cultivating professional relationships through LinkedIn with Janice Porter

We’re most likely to find our next job opportunity or client through our existing network, but growing and cultivating professional relationships in the time of COVID is challenging. That’s why I’m interviewing Janice Porter, LinkedIn strategist, networking coach, and host of the Relationships Rule Podcast to teach us how to develop relationships, not just make connections, through LinkedIn. If you’ve got limited time to grow your network, hate mixers and professional events, or are limited in making new connections due to COVID, this episode is for you.

In this episode, Janice Porter referenced the book, “The Power of Human Connection: How Relationship Marketing is Changing the Way People Succeed.”

About the Guest:

Janice began her career as a teacher, was a corporate trainer and has now been in business for herself for several years. She found her niche coaching and training business professionals to network at a mastery level and turn their connections into new business.

For Janice, it’s all about relationships! First and foremost is her family – she is very proud of her two daughters, and appreciates the support of her husband through all that she does.

Having an innate curiosity, she has leveraged that into building business relationships and teaches others how to do the same. Connecting people is a skill that Janice uses, when needed – and only when she feels that it will be managed most professionally - as she holds her relationships very dearly.

Her passion is working with people who want to build their businesses through relationship marketing and networking – and she does that using online and offline strategies.

LinkedIn training is a huge part of Janice’s business. She believes anyone in business or looking for a new position, needs to have a professional LinkedIn profile, and that LinkedIn is a powerful, under-utilized online platform for attracting new clients, new referral partners, or being found by recruiters.

Staying connected, and nurturing relationships comes next – and Janice shows clients how to implement a Tangible Touch follow-up system with clients, prospects, and associates to stay in front of them, while at the same time celebrating and appreciating them on a consistent basis.

Janice really values the friendships and business relationships she makes and when she meets someone new is always thinking: “How may I support you?”.

You can listen to Janice on her Relationships Rule Podcast on iTunes, Sticher, and most other podcast platforms.
