Welcome to The Art of Living big and my name is Betsy Pake entrepreneur, author and personal success coach. This is the show that brings you stories and small ideas to help you live a big life. I hope this once a week podcast will inspire you, motivate you and encourage you to think differently about what could be possible for your life. Thanks for spending some time with me today. Now let’s go live big. Hey, everybody, this is Betsy Pake. And I am usually the host of this podcast where I

interview other people. But what I realized over the last three months of doing this podcast was that there were things I wanted to share, too. And so for 2017, I’m going to start sharing some of those things in a quick Monday minute. So this is going to be the first episode and it’ll morph, we’ll see how it goes. The one thing I have learned over the last few years of being an entrepreneur is that you should just get started. And then you’ll figure out how things will get, you know, fall into place later on. All right. So it is January 2, which is actually really exciting. I’m a big fan of New Years, I’m a big fan of the beginning of each month, I’m a big fan of Mondays. So I really like being able to reset and regroup and rethink about things. And I know a lot of people start resolutions for New Year’s right. So that’s a big thing. To have new ideas. I know a lot of people use weight loss as their big thing for the new year. And, and really, I think a lot of people just want to change their life. And that’s the way that they can see the biggest impact is being able to change how they look or how they feel or how their clothes fit, or their lifestyle or their health. And so I wanted to share with you from my years of being a nutrition coach, but also just some other ideas of ways that will make a difference in your success or your failure for whatever your chosen resolution is. Alright. So if you’re listening to this, and it’s July, that’s okay. Because we can start at any time, we can start and recreate ourselves reinvent ourselves, it doesn’t have to be beginning of the year, it could be a Monday, it could be a Wednesday afternoon, I always tell my clients that the moment you decide to change is when it all begins. All right. So here here is are some of my ideas. And here are some of the things that I think really work and that I have seen work over and over again, with clients as they’re trying to make changes. So the first number one thing is, and you probably have guessed this is don’t start too big, start small. Because when you start to be you can start to set yourself up for failure. I would add, I have clients call me or reach out and they would say I want to start I’m going to quit smoking, I want to get off soda, I want to, you know, start exercising seven days a week, I think I have, you know, an hour and a half I can dedicate to that time, I’m going to start you know, cleaning up my diet, I’m going to do all these things all at once. And I would think like, Whoa, nobody could do that. Like even the people with the best of intentions, wouldn’t be able to sustain something like that. And so start really small, make it really reasonable ease yourself into it, you’ve probably heard the statistic that most people get off their resolutions, fall off the wagon, fail give up by the middle to the end of January.
