I recently had a coaching consult with an amazing law firm owner. She loves the program and believes in me but she had one big hesitation. Trusting herself. She’s sure she’ll let herself down…again. “I’ve tried this 100 times. All the tools, all the systems. Why will it be different this time?” Her belief: “I am…
You scroll through pages of to-do lists. Everything is important. It’s overwhelming and paralyzing. Like me, you try list-making tools, apps, and planners. Start one system, forget to use it, abandon it, and start another. Don’t even want to try a new one because you’ve lost confidence it will work. After years of trying hacks, there’s…
I’m writing this on Monday. Because Monday is my “writing day.” I write this blog, my podcast, and a few social media posts today. It might be hard to imagine thinking: “This is my day to be creative” and then produce on demand. I also thought this was impossible. But now it’s like clockwork. Every Monday. It’s…
I’m working with a coach to finally address my lifelong digestive issues. Almost a month into an elimination diet, I’m off: Sugar, gluten, dairy, grains, caffeine, wheat, fruit, shellfish, legumes, soy, alcohol, eggs, red meat, and several other foods. It’s not easy and is something I NEVER thought I could do. Although it’s for my…
My clients always know I’m there for them. How? Because I tell them. At the end of each call I remind them they can call, text, or email me if they’re feeling stuck between sessions. This type of support is out of the ordinary for most coaches. But I offer it for one very important…
I could teach you a dozen ways to say No. No to all the things you shouldn’t be saying Yes to. But you might still have issues with boundaries. Because boundaries aren’t just about saying No. They’re about setting expectations. They require you to say things that may seem obvious. They require you to say…
Busy all day yet still feel like you get nothing done? What gives? A usual suspect is starting tasks but not finishing them. Which means at the end of the day you look around at your cluttered desk or at your overflowing email and you feel like you haven’t completed a thing. Here are some…
Many of my clients are stressed by their long to-do list. They’re frustrated they can’t get to the bottom of it. What they don’t understand is that if the list ends, so does growth. Without a list there would be no business. There would be no development. To-dos, requests, and projects are all signs you’re…
Stop waiting for motivation. It’s not coming. If you’re waiting to do things only when you feel like, you’ll continue to wait a long time. You’ll procrastinate until your task or project is a heavy overwhelming weight. Or you may finally get it done against a deadline – stressed and anxious. Either way is self-deprecating….
I get it. You have 101 things on your list and everything is important. I can’t tell you if your system or strategy work is more important. I can’t tell you which of your vendor issues is more important. But I can tell you this. Prioritizing isn’t hard. Making a decision is. There will be plenty…
