No More Excuses: Monday Motivation Podcast

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION! Welcome back to the weekly podcast No More Excuses! Thank you for being here and sharing this podcast with others! And for investing in YOU! I'm excited that on Friday, February 3rd, I celebrate my 10th year as a Coach! [I've been an entrepreneur for almost 30!] I'm celebrating more than the years in business, it's the fact that I really do LOVE what I do! Listen or watch today as I share more about that, and how some days it's not easy, the conversations are tough, the results aren't what I had hoped for my client, but at the end of the day... my job is pretty BADASS! And, my job is to help you feel the same! I understand not every wakes up excited to "do it all over again", and perhaps you aren't where you thought you'd be or you aren't doing what you dreamt you'd be doing. Take some time to think today, and then share in the comments or email me at Sandi@SandiBallard.com - everyone who does, will get a FREE copy of my first book, "From There to Here", emailed to them. What do you L

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION! Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses!  Thank you for listening and sharing this podcast and as we near the end of the first month of the new year - and I sound like a broken record talking about GOALS, I thought it was a great time to bring back a BLAST from the PAST! One of the rare times that I had a GUEST on to talk with! Cody Butler is an amazing business consultant and marketing mentor! I spoke with him in the middle of the panDamnit, and feel it's appropriate to bring it back for another listen! As we begin a new year, you may have your GOALS down, started down your path, but perhaps you're trying new ways to do things. And for many of us, marketing is confusing, overwhelming and so we don't do it!  So, this week I bring on Cody Butler to give you 3 TIPS (and a bonus!) TO SEE IMMEDIATE GROWTH or ACTION. You can watch this on Youtube as well! If you need help implementing the tips, email me! Let's set up a time to talk through things. And, don't forget... if you st

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION! Welcome back to the Weekly Pod & Videocast, No More Excuses! Thank you for being here and sharing this with others! Today I'm EXCITED about having an EXTRA Monday this month! What a great month to have an extra one - the BEGINNING of a NEW YEAR! What a great way to have a little extra push! So, as we really get back and settled into the new year and focusing on our goals, today I may repeat myself a bit when I ask you to review your GOAL worksheet! Yes! A review already! NOT to check on progress, but to make sure your GOALS are REALLY GOALS! It drives me bat shit crazy when I hear people share a goal and it's a task! A goal should create a result. A goal should create growth. A goal shouldn't be easy! So, take a look at your goal worksheet, or download it from my website at www.BadassBusiness.Coach/podcasts and you should see a pop-up that you'll enter your email in and then you'll automatically get my GOAL worksheets. Think about it differently: What RESULT do you want to come

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION! Welcome back to the weekly podcast No More Excuses! Thank you for listening/watching and investing in you! We're fully into January and the new year! In today's podcast, I share with you from my recently published book titled, "Leverage". What do you have to LEVERAGE to help you – and others – achieve goals and succeed? We're all born with a special talent, skill set or ability, but many people don't really know how to develop it. And sometimes how, or where we were brought up stifles that growth. I share about how my personality growth - which is now part of my SUPERPOWER and what I have to LEVERAGE was stunted. As a DiSC® certified business coach, I realize how in my childhood, there were glimpses of my goofiness. And then growing up, I found my energy, leadership and yes, depending on the situation, my "directness" and let it shine and lead me to my SUCCESS! Today, I want to know about YOU! What do you think YOU can LEVERAGE? Listen in – or watch – and follow the exercise I have yo

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION! Welcome back to the Weekly Podcast & now VIDEO-cast, NO MORE EXCUSES! Welcome to 2023! In today's podcast, my message is about kick-starting the new year! Making sure you have a WORD of the YEAR to live and breath by!   And to really celebrate your successes!  Download your Word of the Year worksheet by clicking here or contacting me directly! Today I share my two BIG successes for 2022! The ones that make me feel ever more BADASS. What are yours? When I was in Indy, our women's group, The TABOO Tribe met to share and celebrate our successes, and we did have a couple people who didn't feel quite as "badass" as the others and that they would have liked to.  That happens! Not everyone has a big badass year, but to be honest, since 2020, I mean, who hasn't had shit to deal with? And there are times when you don't realize something you accomplished was amazing! You don't give it the credit it deserves, so having a group, mentor, coach or friend to go over your goals is important! That

Happy Monday Motivation! Welcome back to my weekly pod & video-cast No More Excuses!   It's now after Thanksgiving! Hopefully the family is gone, the kids are back to school and you are ready to get back to it yourself!   And yes, there really is only FIVE weeks left in the year, and well, we all know that last week may include MORE holiday activities, kids back out of school, travel or family coming to you. So really we have a lot to do in a short amount of time!   Listen in today or watch on my YouTube Channel as I talk about how being more intentional with your time will help you stay focused and really keep the momentum going!   I know what i need to do, and with having a trip to Indianapolis, IN coming up that takes another week out of what I have left! It's a trip full of book signing events, workshops, strategy sessions and regular coaching sessions with clients, so I am being intentional now with my marketing prep and schedule.   How much time is left for you in your year? What do you have left th

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION! Welcome back to the weekly podcast and videocast, "No More Excuses! Tis the season to be thankful... right? With it being Thanksgiving here in the U.S. on Thursday, many people do grateful / thankful challenges, and I thought why not jump on that bandwagon! I know that many of you listening are not here in America – and that’s OK! I’m not going to make all of you eat turkey and stuffing on Thursday, I just want you to take this week to THINK and SHARE what you are thankful for! Listen or watch today and social media this week as I challenge you to look at the positive things that have happened as we near the end of the year.   Let's all shift our mindset a bit and really think about the year.   Instead of focusing on what you don't have, haven't achieved, and feel you've missed out on, I want to help you shift your mindset into "thankful mode" and focus on what you DO HAVE, and HAVE DONE! It's been a crazy, chaotic couple of years, so it's time to say THANK YOU! It's time to show your

Happy Monday Motivation! Welcome back to the weekly podcast and video cast No More Excuses! We all have something we can LEVERAGE to help us make progress, achieve goals and get to the next level. But... what is it? Listen or watch today as I share from my 4th book "Leverage" on things we ALL can leverage, and how. I share stories from clients, including one that was panicking about lost time, but when I talked her out of her mental spin, she realized she had plenty of time she could leverage to get it all done! What do you think you have to leverage? Do you know? Think about it. What do you have more of? Who do you know that can do what you can't?  Make sure you listen carefully as I share with you the same activity I did with her and many of my clients. I hope it helps you as well! There is a lot more to leverage than time, but it's a great place to start! Once you do the activity, share with me how it helped you! Email me at Sandi@SandiBallard.com Cheers! Sandi

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION! Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses! We're about to get into the holiday season and before we do, let's make sure you're as productive as you can be to finish the year strong as f*ck! Are you "Too Busy for your Business?" How do you know? Well, ask yourself the question: "What did you do today?" If you answer with a pause, perhaps a confused look, fumbling around and say... Hmmm, well, I know I did "stuff", but not sure what I did, you're probably too busy for your business! Listen in or watch today as I talk about that, and ways to correct your behavior so you can and will FINISH the year STRONG... and STILL enjoy the holidays! I want you to get to the end of the year and be excited about all the amazingly badass shit you did! And, as always, if you need a little help, schedule a free 30-minute call with me! https://coachingwithsandi.as.me/free30

Happy Monday Motivation! Welcome back to the weekly pod and video-cast No More Excuses! Recurring actions. These are the things you do daily, weekly and perhaps monthly to help you make progress. These regular action steps help you create the HABITS you need to SUCCEED! Yes, we all have shit we "have" to do that we don't "want" to do, but if we don't, then well... we won't achieve our goals and the success we desire. Well, we all have shit we have to do, and that we just do regularly to help us. Habits are what will keep us focused and on-track! I do know many people who really don't stick to habits, or even say they "suck at sticking to them" but will admit that they know it's why they don't achieve the goals they desire. Hmmm, well... LOL! And, we all fall off the wagon or "OUT of HABIT" sometimes. Life and shit happens... right? It's all I've talked about for the last few weeks because I've been living in a shit storm of distractions myself! I fully understand what it's like! Listen in – or watch today as

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION! Welcome back to the Weekly Podcast No More Excuses! Listen in today – or subscribe and watch on YouTube –  as I share how last week ended for me! Yes! As I talked last week about how to refocus and recover when shit goes sideways, well shit happened to me! I didn't avoid the shit storm, I allowed myself the time to work through the anger and frustration and now today, I'm RE-focusing and sharing that I know what it feels like to have to deal with a SHIT STORM! Don't avoid the shit storm that you are in!  If you do NOTHING... you GET NOTHING! Sometimes you have to just allow yourself to FEEL the FEELS and then get back to work! I mean, throw your fit, cry, yell, pout, sleep, have some vodka... do whatever you need to do, and them grab those bootstraps and pull them up! Think about if there's something you've been avoiding. It's a NEW week, what will you focus on?

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION! Welcome back to the Weekly Podcast, No More Excuses! And, welcome to the 4th quarter! Much like football, it's time to dig deeper and play BIGGER! In today's podcast – and video that you can watch on my YouTube channel – I share where I am on my own personal and professional goals. What I have achieved and not, and what I want to focus on for the 4th quarter.  There are some people who will look at the fact that there is "only" three months left, but I encourage you to realize there is STILL TIME to accomplish amazing things! If you're one of those who has thought about quitting or giving up on a goal, I DOUBLE DOG DARE you to DIG DEEPER instead! I challenge you to review YOUR goals and see where you are and then identify how you can LEVEL-UP! Yes, dig deeper to play bigger so you can and WILL achieve the success you desire! Listen – or watch – and then comment or email me with what YOU will do to finish the year strong! There is ALWAYS time to make progress. There's still time... Wha

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses! Listen in today as record today's podcast after my run on the beach! [You can also watch the video on my YouTube Channel!] I talk over the chaos that was happening behind me as I reflect on the chaos of traveling for two weeks! I talk about how great things can come from the chaos and most importantly... who is walking alongside you to help you, and vice versa! Travel, business, life can all be chaotic at times. Making sure you know who is there with you and that there is clear communication and expectations is HUGE to your success.  And vice versa! Who are you walking next to? How are you helping them?  While I was talking with one organization, I asked them about their growth and well, there lack-of and why? What can they do to make sure they have the right people in place and making sure that if people aren't active any longer, that it is OK! Sometimes people, events, organizations no longer serve you or those involved.  Today and

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION! Welcome back to the weekly podcast No More Excuses! In today's videocast, I share about "Doing things differently"! Much like me recording this as a video and sharing both formats, video and audio! It's only my third one and it's not the only thing I've learned I need to do differently! We've all heard the the definition of insanity: "Doing the same things over and over and expecting different results." Well, that's why I will preach and preach and preach about it! As we approach the end of the 3rd quarter, think about what you have tried or what you have planned and identify a way you can go about things differently. If you want to achieve a goal that you haven't before, what can and will you do differently? Listen in as I share a couple things I am doing differently, and also some things I have suggested to others to try. Even if you've achieved a goal, how can doing things differently help you achieve MORE? Have a great week, and share what you've done or will do differently! Cheer

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! This is your parental advisory that you may be subjected to some colorful language in my podcasts! Last Monday’s podcast was about MORE! Yep! What else can you learn? Where else can you go? What more can you do for you? And all of that comes from being prepared. As prepared as we can be, right? As I mentioned in last Monday’s podcast, and I talk about in today's podcast: wanting more isn’t selfish! It’s part of growth and obtaining success! You SHOULD want MORE! Listen in as I share what a couple people I heard from are doing, and even myself! What about you? What could you do to be “selfish” and in-turn help you grow and finish the year strong? And honestly what can you do to be more “selfish” for you personally not just professionally? I’ve preached about that a lot over the years! I have my listener Nicole who had a baby and has embraced every moment of
