No More Excuses! Monday Motivation

Happy Monday Motivation!

Welcome back, thanks for being here, for sharing and if any of you know where in the HELL January went, please let me know! WOW that went fast! (I guess I was having fun, eh?!)

This month is all about ACTION! But what month isn't?! Baby steps. BIG LEAPS. Whatever you can do is still movement... progress! In the past 11 days of February, what have you done? Not done? What did you want to do or perhaps didn't think you could do, so didn't?

Why do I keep asking you about taking ACTION? Well, without action there is no progress and you'll have no growth. We all know it takes action to create a REaction! Good or bad, it will happen. And, if you're full of doubt and fear, most people won't take action. (Pssst guess what... lack-of still allows for something to happen!) But I guess if you don't take action, you have something to blame, eh?

Listen in, and think about what's something you thought you'd have done by now? (insert groan) What happened? Well, that's why I'm always on your ass to check progress, so you can determine what's going on, what's DISTRACTING you. Because... what you ALLOW is what will continue. It's time to yet again check to see what's going on. We're 6-weeks into the year, let's check ourselves and make sure we're on track! If you are... AWESOME, keep on keeping on! And, how will you STAY FOCUSED? If not, determine what's distracting you and... MAKE IT STOP!

This week, look at your goal sheet, put a GIANT checkmark next to if it you've achieved it... and give yourself a SELF HIGH-FIVE, and if not, make a note next to it as to what's distracting you and WHY!

And, if you can't, email me and let's make it stop TOGETHER! (You don't have to be local for me to help you!)

Have a great week, don't forget to join the new GOOGLE group: NO MORE Excuses Podcast Listeners Forum or email me to join, so we can continue talking! Please share this podcast and help others grow as well.

Have a distraction-free week! Cheers!

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION!

Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses! Thank you for listening, sharing the podcast and providing your input / answers to the daily challenges and questions!

In last week's podcast I dug deeper into the purpose of creating lists and not just the joy of keeping track of all that you've accomplished! It's to get all the noise OUT of your head so you can reduce your stress and increase productivity! Especially so you can be fully present and pay attention to the person you are meeting with, talking with on the phone or even responding to an email. Are you giving whatever it is you are doing your FULL attention?

It can have a negative affect on your bottom line, your relationships and friendships - personally and professionally. If you're constantly mentally distracted, you need to figure out WHY. More than likely it's because you aren't creating lists and prioritizing. If you're overwhelmed, you are trying to do it all. If you're multitasking, how well are you doing each task?

MULTITASKING IS NOT A SUPER POWER!

In this week's podcast you get to hear me on my SOAP BOX about the negative impact multitasking has on your life, business, career. And in the last few week's podcasts I've talked about how creating lists and being mindful will help you STOP multitasking and start being more productive and successful.

We've all done it. And I've had people BRAG about how GREAT they are AT multitasking. I just shake my head and ask how confident they are that they gave each email, text message, meeting, phone call, report or proposal their FULL attention and there was nothing MORE they could have done, said, created, thought of, asked?

Let me say it this way: If you want to achieve MORE... STOP MULTITASKING!

We all have more than ONE thing to do each day, MORE THAN ONE client. It all has to get done, but how without multitasking? Listen in this week, and then post in the comments section or email me what you think about multitasking.

Are YOU a multi-tasker? Tell me why you think it works for you! Or, perhaps how you know it's been detrimental to your productivity, but you aren't sure how to prioritize when it ALL has to get done? Let's talk!

Have a great, PRODUCTIVE week!

Cheers! Sandi

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION!

Welcome back to No More Excuses weekly podcast and thanks again for SHARING this most awesome podcast!

Last week did you DRAW THE LINE?! Did you leave your past, decisions you're unsure of, perhaps a bad habit where it belongs? Good now it's time to MOVE ON! It's late April and I'm saying it again... it's time to DO! Ok? Let's get going and try new things! OK?

And with it being Spring here in Indy the weather has been insane and it's driving everyone bat-shit-crazy! But can we blame the weather on our crappy moods, getting off-track, hesitation on doing? Yes, but NOOOOO!

You've got to OWN IT! Your mistakes that is! By trying new things, taking action, you will screw up and that is completely OK! It shows that you're trying, DOING, moving, attempting and how the Hell else can you learn if you don't try?!

You've got to STOP BLAMING the weather, other people, bad decisions because all that is, is you MAKING EXCUSES! Think about at time when you blamed someone or something. Have you ever come clean? Listen in this week about my BIG BLAME and how I did!

AND - if you don't follow me on Twitter and/or Instagram yet, do that now as the first 10 NEW followers will get a FREE 30-min Coaching call to talk through how YOU are DOING! Connect with me and then schedule that here!

Have a great week,

Cheers!

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses.

Thank you for being here, for listening and sharing this podcast with others! Shout out to listener Ericka Edwards-Dillard who's from the San Francisco area. If you’re a listener, DM me so I can give you a shout out!

Last Monday’s podcast was about communication! Making sure you really listen, slow down and think before you speak! Taking the time to really work on communication no matter what format – verbal or written – is very important.

When you listen in today, you'll find out how, due to how her staff was communicating, caused her to not be able to FOCUS! Which is the topic for today: FOCUS! 

She was distracted by her staff's communication and in-turn wasn't feeling productive.

Finding more time by eliminating distractions can definitely help you feel better and, like a client of mine said, she won’t “feel the pressure to work on the weekends!” She’ll be able to leave work at the office!

Distractions are everywhere. On our wrists, in our environment, traffic, friends, family, weather, CNN, Ok maybe not that one lol.

What steals your FOCUS?

What helps you FOCUS?

I’m intrigued… well, curious as I want to learn what helps you, but also maybe new ways to share with clients.

Are you like my client – the more you have on your plate, the more productive you are?

Or do you get overwhelmed and shut down when you have too much on your plate?

Sometimes noise and/or peace & quiet helps people focus.

Which do you prefer? 

FOCUS.

It helps with so much. And yes, it all starts with eliminating distractions and THAT my friends is up to you!

So, this week – DM me or email me for your FREE DiSC assessment link!

And, tell me what helps keep you focused and what steals it?

Cheers!
