No More Excuses: Monday Motivation Podcast

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION! Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses. Thank you for being here!  - click here to check out my website – and connect with me on social media! [Links at bottom] Some Mondays are harder than others when it comes to figuring out something to talk about on this podcast! Especially with FOCUS being the topic of conversation for the last month or so, just sometimes nothing jumps out at me or sticks with me. And, honestly having a week where no major shit goes sideways, it’s really just work and fun, so having things being uneventful is really OK! Listen today as I talk about having a chaos-free week can be scary, like “did I miss something?" and waiting for the “other shoe to drop?”  THAT'S OK! Enjoy it as NOW… it’s TIME TO TAKE A BREATH! After last Monday’s podcast where I talked – and asked – about what has – in your world - has felt like is out of control or is out of YOUR control, having a week of just being, doing, living, is nice isn’t it? Today, as I talk about how by f

Spring is such a bi-polar time of the year, isn’t it? No matter where you live the weather goes back and forth from warm to chilly, then hot to cold. One day there are gray, dreary skies then back to gorgeous, and even rain and snow. It’s a constant reminder of what we are NOT in control of, and yes it can even distract us from what we need to be focusing on.  We all know last year the FOCUS button was broken for damn near all of us! That’s why this year I really want to help YOU – and me – get and STAY focused! And, as I discussed in last Monday’s podcast, getting to the next level is going to require FOCUS! And at the end of the podcast, I gave you FIVE steps to help you get FOCUSED! If you haven’t listened to last week’s podcast, click here to go do that now! FOCUS! There

Thank you for being here!  Please check out my website: www.Badassbusiness.Coach and connect with me on social media to continue getting coaching tips, challenges and articles! What a whirlwind of a year so far, at least for me! It seems like many times the beginning of the year goes by fast as we’re recouping from the Holidays, or whatever 2020 was, as well as getting our goals set up (although I recommend doing that BEFORE the end of the year, I realize it doesn’t always happen!), and just getting motivated! So, hopefully you’re settled into the new year. It doesn’t matter if things are fully opened, or starting to, it’s the second quarter, it’s really now or never! If you don’t get your ass in gear now, you’ll wake up in June, or perhaps even October and wonder what happened to 2021! In last week’s podcast, I talked about EXPLORING! Exploring other options, new ways to do things and just taking a step back to look at your busines

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses. Thank you for being here and make sure to connect with me on social media! With things being more open now, it’s easier to EXPLORE! It’s fun to get out of the normal routine and area and explore sometimes. Yes, for some that’s stepping out of your comfort zone and for others who love to explore, it’s been tough during the stupid panDAMNIT. Many of us, personally and/or professionally have had to cut back, take chances, come up with creative ways to attract customers, bring them back and EXPLORE new ways to survive. The options are truly endless if you look for them! And, options create more opportunity. Last week’s podcast guest, business attorney Karen Young, shared her 3 Tips on How a Business Attorney should SAVE you money! Especially right now, as we’re trying to figure out how to cut back, save money, and do things differently, it’s easy to say, “Oh I will just do that myself”, and you really shouldn’t! The main things is to NOT

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses. Thank you for listening and for investing in YOU!  Don't forget to check out my website www.BadassBusiness.Coach and connect with me on social media! This first quarter is about LEVELING-UP! And with all that I’ve discussed in the last few weeks' podcasts with helping you check progress, really getting invested in your goals by envisioning results, and realizing there is no MAGIC PILL other than putting in the WORK, many times I preach to my clients to NOT do the work! Last year my podcast guests talked about mindset, marketing tips and not giving bullshit excuses when shit goes sideways! Sort of survival tips in a sense. This year, I will have guests that help you SAVE time, money and GROW! Listen in today as I’m excited to have my first guest of 2021, attorney Karen Young!  OR this week you can also... WATCH THE VIDEO ON MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL! As we finish out the 1st quarter, and I’ve been preaching about LEVELING UP, I wanted to bri

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses. Thank you for being here!  - click here to check out my website – and then connect with me on social media (Links on website!! The first quarter is coming to a close, so we’ve got to do some deeper digging to finish strong! Last week’s podcast was about Work. Work. WORK! A 4-letter word. I asked what have you been putting off doing, that you know needs to be done because it’s going to suck, going to be hard, or you may have to ask for help? I heard from quite a few people, with TAXES being the main thing for many people. Others shared with me: social media posts, website updates, tracking calories, and the infamous getting help to stop smoking. And, even hiring a new staff person. In last week's podcast, I also briefly touched on Chapter 5 in my book "The Magic Pill" titled “This or That”. In this chapter, I talk about the fact that you have two choices: Do it, OR Pay for it! But you have to dig deeper than that. In today's podcast

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses. Thank you for being here, for listening and connecting with me on social media! Don't forget to message me and let me know that you're a listener so I will follow you back! This first quarter is about LEVELING-UP! Checking progress, identifying resistance, limiting beliefs, what you LOVE to do, and envisioning results, and then stepping out of your comfort zone to take chances. I talk about this in the last few week's podcast and how you do that! What have you realized? I heard from some people about taking chances and it can be scary sometimes. And fear is the reason why many people don’t take them.  Listen in this week as I talk about my third book, “The Magic Pill”, and how many people search for the “quick fix”, the easy way, the short cut, but how often does that work out? And, trust me, there are times when I want shit done faster AND easier! Chapter five is titled “This or That”. It's about making choices, and along with that

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses. Thank you for being here, for listening and connecting with me on social media! Don't forget to message me and let me know that you're a listener so I will follow you back! Did you download your GOAL worksheet from my website or create your own? If not, get on it (click on the purple link), because your goals won’t achieve themselves! So, if your goals and action steps and plan aren’t written down, you have got to do it NOW. And yes, that’s what I help people do as well if they can’t figure out how to do that! As I also mentioned in last week’s podcast, it’s time to LEVEL UP! The first quarter is all about getting our shit together and creating momentum to kickass the rest of the year! How do you LEVEL UP? Well, by stepping out of that comfy-fuzzy-slippered world and taking CHANCES! So, if you’re ever going to get your ass in gear… NOW is the time! And, trust me, talking about this helps me keep on top of my game as well! Listen in t

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses. Thank you for being here, listening and investing in YOU! It’s time to welcome the month of MARCH! And time to get a move on! What’s your goal for the month? And WOMEN don’t say “feed my kids and wash my hair”! Those are not FRIGGN GOALS! Unless for some reason those are straight up challenges for you… then there are probably some underlying major issues there and I have a therapist I can recommend to you. March. It’s month three of the first quarter, so time to kick things up a notch! Especially for those of you who tend to not get going until now. Well, it’s time to WAKEY WAKEY and get going! Men and women… let’s LEVEL UP! Mercury Retrograde is over, so NO MORE EXCUSES about the weird shit there either! Do you have your GOAL worksheet? If not, click here to download now from my website! Listen in as this week I talk you through checking your progress on your 30 and 60 day short-term goals. Remembering that last week's podcast I ask

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses. Thank you for listening and sharing the podcasts and connecting with me on social media. Yes, we’re two months into 2021, two-thirds of the way through the first quarter. What have you been working on? What have you accomplished? What haven’t you made progress on? What’s getting in the way – which means… what are you ALLOWING? AVOIDING? Or more like RESISTING? WHY? In the last few podcasts, I have talked about avoiding, as well as have been about doing what you LOVE and having FUN! And if that’s the case, then you should be at least making progress, and most definitely shouldn’t be avoiding or resisting things… right? Well, not always! It’s been interesting as I’ve had some conversations with clients recently – both male and female about all of this and why they were having challenges committing to some things they “said” they were going to do. Interestingly enough, both told me stories from their childhood that has stuck with them t

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses. Thank you for listening and sharing the podcasts and connecting with me on social media. We are just flying through February, aren’t we? Time flies when we’re having FUN, and I know I’m having fun, what about you? I hope you are, and, if not you must click here to email me right away to discuss why not! Not every day will be fun and games, but you should be at least enjoying things for the most part. Last week’s podcast was about LOVE! Identifying what you love about what you do or something in your life, and what you don’t as that’s what needs to change. What did you come up with? The goal is to do what you love! There’s the saying, “If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life”, yeah I tend to call BULLSHIT! Ha-ha. It’s STILL work! Shit still goes sideways and some days are hard or suck the life right out of ya. Focusing on things you love to do will help you attract more of the same, but it will also help you enjo

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses. Thank you for listening and sharing the podcasts and connecting with me on social media. What if you had never come across this podcast, or what if I had never started this podcast? Who knows, right? The WHAT-IF’s, I talked about in last week's podcast are bigger than that. They're the ones that have kept you from taking chances, risks and making shit happen. Last week I shared stories about clients who had NOT avoided, who didn't ask WHAT IF, and made exciting things happen! And, I asked you to make your list of your WHAT IFs. Did you download the worksheet from my website? If not, CLICK HERE and get on it! This year CAN be a great year for you as well IF you put the effort into it. As we really dig into this new year, you really need to take advantage of what you've done and where you are NOW and begin. Yes, that’s LEVERAGE! Listen in this week, as I talk about how February – with having Valentine’s Day – is the “month of love”! An

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses. Thank you for listening and sharing the podcasts and connecting with me on social media. One month down already! Welcome to February. And, if you’re like many others out there, you may just now be getting around to setting goals or really digging in and getting started. Some of you may even have seasonal depression. I just found out a friend of mine has it and, she went through my Finish the Year Strong-er online course and she said it really helped her!  She CONFRONTED what she typical avoids: Setting goals, finishing the year, doing much of anything, and she did NOT allow the seasonal depression didn’t suck her in as much as normal. She had focus and saw her progress, which kept her MOTIVATED, and wanting MORE! What about you? How have you started the year, and as I discussed in last week’s podcast, what have you AVOIDED doing, trying, saying? Maybe it’s something as simple as avoiding a workout class because you think you'll suck

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses. Thank you for listening and sharing the podcasts and connecting with me on social media. It was quite the start to 2021, and as much as things at times still feel uncertain and unsettling, I also feel the optimism and see the determination from clients, and friends to get things going and kick ass this year. I know I’m ready to get to that next level. Whether you kicked-ass or feel like last year sucked-ass, there’s always that NEXT LEVEL to get to. You just have to be ready and WANT it! And, we all know what we need to get there. Yep… LEVERAGE! In last week’s podcast I talked about LEVERAGE. The fact that there’s only ONE you. We all have something uniquely different. And we call that LEVERAGE! Using your special talents and skill set to propel you forward. To lift that giant-ass boulder of anxiety out of your way so you can succeed. As I discussed last week, we all have that little bit of a light in us somewhere and we need to get

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION! Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses. Thank you for listening and connecting with me on social media and for sharing your Word of the Year! If you are, or recently have connected with me on social media, and I have not accepted, please make sure you identify yourself as a listener!  In last week’s podcast, I preached about how everyone’s pace had changed last year, and for some it’s still changed, and will be forever. So, how are you handling it? I talked about – and challenged you – to decide if you need to change it again, and if so… how? Or will you lean into it and accept it? Change is only painful if you resist. And trust me, I’ve resisted it a lot many times over the years! Last week I shared how I was resisting the pace on my horseback ride, then I leaned in as I understood what was going on. And from that moment of “leaning-in”, I learned a lot and shared my lessons in my third book, The Magic Pill. My horse, Dusty reminded me of – well, ME, and I’d say every on

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION! Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses. Thank you for listening and connecting with me on social media – and for all of you who downloaded the Word of the Year worksheet! It got so many hits, it deactivated! It’s only up for set amount of views, so obviously that goal was hit and for that... THANK YOU! I look forward to hearing from you what your WOTY [Word of the Year] is!   Last week was the first FULL week of January and obviously the new year, so my focus was on: GOALS. RESOLUTIONS. INTENTIONS. I discussed the differences, yet how important they all are to achieving your success. The success YOU desire. And if you listened in, you heard one of the goals I did NOT achieve, and have NOT given up on, no matter how the odds are stacked against me! That goal is running another ½ marathon. Well, I found one to sign up for, and it’s Sept 11! I’ll start my training and see what happens with my knee and that will decide when – or if – I have to get the surgery. Regardless, I w

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses. Thank you for listening and connecting with me on social media! And, for those of you who share my podcast, that’s KICKASS as without you doing that, I probably wouldn’t have as many listeners as I do. And yes, Happy New Year! Did we wake up and all the VID was gone? Yeah, no, still here isn’t it! So, I guess we’ll just have to carry on with a new year, new goals and a new level of hope, faith, positivity, or whatever it is you have! TODAY my START THE YEAR STRONG online course kicks off. If you want to get in on it, you still can! $20.21. Click here to sign up NOW! Although the worksheets get assigned to you, and you set your monthly and weekly goals, there’s not set meeting time, so you are not too late to get started. But do it NOW, as It is to help you gain momentum and make progress on your goals. YOU HAVE YOUR 2021 GOALS SET... DON’T YOU? I mean, many times I set them earlier in the 4th Quarter, however, with the “name that we

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses. Thank you for listening and connecting with me on social media. We’re here! The last week of 2020! Week 52 of the year and week 248 of these podcasts. In last week’s podcast I asked, “What have YOU done consistently for that long besides breath?” I heard from quite a few of you, and even had some listeners share on their social media and asked their followers, so thank you for that! One of the answers I heard was “stay motivated by listening-to podcasts and reading motivational posts – like yours! Uh... Yay! I share others' responses in the podcast. And now, it’s time to look at those RESULTS! It’s what continues to keep us motivated and making progress! So, what’s happened because of doing something consistently? For me with my podcasts, I’ve achieved a goal of expanding my network, connections and building a global community for women named The TABOO! Tribe! What about you? CONSISTENCY = RESULTS. But, you have to be motivated by so

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses. Thank you for listening and connecting with me on social media. Enjoy whatever you are celebrating this week and month! If you’re new to me – I hope you come back, or even go back and listen to the progression over the almost 5 years of podcasts! YEP. 247 WEEKS. 4 ¾ years. What have YOU done consistently for that long besides breath? In last week's podcast, I challenged all of you to get rid of your excuses and focus on what MOTIVATES you. Clearly doing these podcasts and hearing from you motivates me! Otherwise, why do it? It’s not like I’m getting paid… yet! MOTIVATION. It’s not always easy to have, that’s why I preach what I practice, which is to FOCUS ON WHAT MOTIVATES YOU! It helps you face what you’re hiding behind so you can move forward and achieve goals and the success you desire! I know It’s not always easy to put your “positive pants” on, especially this year during the panDAMNIT, the Holidays and it not being “the normal”

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses. Thank you for being here with me and spending this shit show of a year with me! If you’re new to this podcast, welcome and, I look forward to you connecting with me on social media! Instagram, LinkedIn and my business FB page as you don’t want to see my posts of tacos and running haha. In last week's podcast, I challenged all of you to get rid of your excuses. Yes, I even gave you an activity to do so! Did you do it? How would I know unless you showed me or posted that you did, otherwise I have to trust you!! What did you write down and HOW did you rid yourself of those pesky-ass excuses? What did you say you would NO LONGER DO? In this week's podcast, I share a few examples - we could be here all day if I shared them all - but if you did not sure with me, why not?  I did an OK job of “not eating when I’m not hungry” and lost 1lb or so! I’ve honestly been so bored, that I was just snacking my life away. But, what's going on... why am
