The Brilliant Life Show
12/19/19 • 12 min
040 True confessions: Do you struggle with writing down your goals because deep down it feels like a waste of time. Like you know you won't remember what you wrote a month later nor be able to locate that paper 6 months later?
You're not alone and it's not your fault. Life is super busy and the whole art of goal writing and reviewing can be made way more complicated than necessary.
Today's episode I take you behind the scenes of the tried and true system I've developed and used for years. I've gathered research and tips from the greatest thought leaders in this arena and boiled it down to what is realistic for busy people, especially Moms with multiple littles.
Episode highlights:
- Brain science behind goal review and how it can impact your sleep.
- How frequently should you review your goals and how to ensure you actually do it.
- Paper planners: paper or plastic? Haha, paper or electronic planners - how to use which tools when.
- Paper Planner reviews
- My go to electronic to do list app and how I use it.
Some paper planners mentioned in today's episode:
- Productivity Planner
- Full to Focus by Michael Hyatt
- The High Performance Planner Brendon Burchard
- Push Journal
- Start Today
We should hang out more!

The Brilliant Life Show
11/12/19 • 55 min
017 So excited to bring the author of How to Pay Off Your Mortgage in Five Years. Natali and her husband's mission are to help families run their wealth building like a business.
Natali's money mindsets literally have changed the trajectory of our family's financial future. We are soul sisters in this respect and our family have 100% used the strategies that Natali shares.
I am so grateful for the message with which she empowers families, especially wives and mothers.
Natali is a former network news anchor turned personal finance educator and motivator. She lives and works with her husband and three small children. Her sole focus is not to screw them up.
- The big epiphany: You cannot save your way to wealth. You have to build assets. You have to change your mindset.
- Your family is a business whether you like it or not.
- You can only save so much, but the amount you can make is infinite.
- Why you need to own geese and why the "nest egg" is pointless.
- Financial Freedom Academy: teaches family to build wealth; discover what your Financial Freedom Number is. (25:50)
- How to shift from being the administrator in your house to being a C-level executive in your home.
- How to play to each other's strengths in your relationship.
- How Natali and her family were prepared for an unexpectedly very hard time. (24:00)

RESOURCES AND LINKS:
- MONTESSHARE VIRTUAL STORY TIME: www.facebook.com/Montesshare Join us on weekdays at 10 AM as Mr. David shares a special story on FB Live! (Starts Wed., March 18th)
- MONTESSHARE FACEBOOK PAGE: www.facebook.com/Montesshare My Montesshare preschool is posting helpful resources for ages 2-6 year olds.
- READING:
- LeapFrog Letter Factory: https://amzn.to/3alplr4 This is just the absolute best way to learn letter sounds. I have my kids watch this 2-3 times a day when they're learning to read.
- Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons: https://amzn.to/3aSFeem The BEST book for starting out or struggling readers. This is the number one thing I would work on! I started my kids at ages 4-6. A little dry, but push through! It's so thorough and backed by research
- BOB Books: https://amzn.to/2wUm3m4 Very easy books for the earliest readers. These are designed to help kids feel the immediate success that they "can read a whole book."
- Classic Start Books: https://amzn.to/2wUm3m4. My kids love these. They are classic literature stories rewritten for kids. Swiss Family Robinson is a favorite and also The Time Machine. Good for ages 6-9.
- MATH: If your child's school is using a common-core-based math curriculum, it may be difficult for you to understand the methodology behind it. So if your child has math assignments sent home with them, you may need a guide. There are plenty of free resources online, like these: https://www.pta.org/home/family-resources/Parents-Guides-to-Student-Success
- If you want your child to keep working on math assignments at home, the Saxon Math curriculum is really tried-and-true. It will likely have a familiar style to most adults, and it's easy to find used hardback textbooks on Amazon. For example: Saxon Math 6/5 (math book for average-advanced 5th grader or behind 6th grader.) https://amzn.to/2U0iBhr Look in the used book section to find some great deals!
- But consider taking this time to also memorize math facts, like multiplication tables. You can print out your own for free on https://www.math-drills.com/
- Math-U-See, another popular math curriculum with homeschoolers, has some e-learning tools: www.mathusee.com/e-learning
- HANDWRITING:
- Print Capitals - Zaner Bloser Kindergarten https://amzn.to/3cO0Nih I like to start with this one, because it is scripted for parents and teaches you the headline, midline, and baseline, as well as directions like "pull down, push up, circle back." (Check out those used prices! I've always gotten ones that have about 5 pages written in them in pencil.)
- Kumon Lowercase Letters: https://amzn.to/2IU0XXL I like the Kumon books because they are pretty. But they are not scripted for parents to explain. That can be frustrating, which is why I start with a Zaner-Bloser book. Once you have the hang of it, you can move on to Kumon.
- LATE MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL KIDS: Use this time to study for a CLEP, AP, or SAT test! CLEP and AP credits will transfer to most colleges, and it's only about $100 to take the test! Go to www.modernstates.org for free CLEP prep classes! Khan Academy (www.khanacademy.org) has free CLEP, AP, and SAT test prep!

52. Stop Sabotaging Confidence in Your Value // Minisode
The Brilliant Life Show
03/03/20 • 8 min
Have you ever talked to someone about something that you thought was really important, but they didn't feel the same?
It can really deflate your confidence.
The fastest way to lose your confidence in what you have to offer is:
A). To try to offer your product or service to someone who doesn't need you to solve their problem
OR
B). Offering your product or service to someone who doesn't recognize their need.
There's a Biblical proverb that says, "Don't cast your pearls amongst swine."
Right, so don't offer your awesomeness to someone that just doesn't appreciate it.
Guess what? I've been doing some business strategy calls these last few weeks and it's been such fun!
Why?
Because these people immediately saw the value in problems I'm offering to help solve. Every single call we've both walked away feeling awesome.
I've been energized in how I can serve women to live their Brilliant Lives.
If you are having conversations with folks who just don't get it, it's ok.
People don't know what they don't know, so no judgment!
Just get out of the conversation - fast... your confidence depends on it!
As a big dreamer, whether a business owner or not, you've got to prioritize guarding your faith, hope, and dreams.

What the Heck is Online Business & Why You Should Have One
The Brilliant Life Show
11/07/19 • 29 min
014 I still remember feeling almost angry two summers ago. I was drowning in work from my businesses, our church and exhaustion from our recent 4th child. Then, my now business coach shared with me this new online business model. I honestly couldn’t believe no one had ever explained this to me before.
The benefits were glaringly obvious after owning other businesses and this wasn't a network marketing deal (not that there's anything wrong with those, it's just not my jam). I believe everyone (especially Moms) should own some form of an online business because it is one of the best ways to achieve the time and financial freedom we all crave. So, what the heck is online business and why is it so magical? An online business packages your knowledge and expertise into an online format in which other people can buy.
Benefits of Online Businesses: •Hugely satisfying because you’re changing people’s lives. •Effective in sharing your message to a lot of people. •Delivers the highest levels of the time and financial freedom. •Create passive income. •Easily pivot.
Types of Online Businesses: •Ecourses •Group Coaching •Membership Sites Discover the pros and cons to each type in this epidsode!

What's the #1 thing that sells more than anything else? Testimonials! Testimonial equal money, influence and trust. I've heard it said that the future of marketing lies solely in testimonials.

Children Should Be Seen and Heard Minisode
The Brilliant Life Show
11/29/19 • 9 min
030 I believe children should be seen AND heard. Yet, #thestruggleisreal when it comes to respecting your children.
Some things I’ve discovered to help me in my quest to respect my children:
- Think of them as little people. Like an adult in a small body.
- The “Good Neighbor Principle”: only talk to your children the way you would a good neighbor.
- Remind myself that when my children are respected everywhere else except their home, they’ll fight back for that respect at home. It can get ugly. And, exhausting.
- Imagine your partner saying such things to me and how I’d feel: “Look, I don’t really care if you want to do the dishes or not. You’re going to do it because I said so.” “It's not a big deal that you broke your favorite necklace. Just move on with it.”
- Apologize. Be specific in your apology.
- Speak in the positive. Tell children (and adults) what to do versus what not to do.
- Emphasize the virtue, not the vice. I.E., "Please use a quite voice," vs. "Please don't yell."
