April Garcia's PivotMe

In today’s episode, April challenges listeners to rethink their approach to life’s most daunting challenges by asking one powerful question: “What would have to be true for this to be simple?” Whether you’re struggling with debt, overwhelmed by work projects, or feeling stuck in your business, this episode teaches you how to break down seemingly insurmountable tasks and find a clearer path forward. Simplicity isn’t always easy, but it's often the key to unlocking your next move.

• Reframing Your Challenges: April discusses how asking “What would have to be true for this to be simple?” can instantly shift your mindset from overwhelmed to empowered.

• Debt Reframe Example: April shares a story about a business owner buried in $400,000 of debt. By focusing on his most profitable service, they turned a massive debt problem into a clear sales goal.

• Stop Overcomplicating Your Life: We often make problems harder than they need to be. April emphasizes that we can simplify challenges by focusing on the core tasks that make the biggest impact. Don't confuse "simple" with "easy."

• Tackling Beliefs that Complicate Solutions: Many of our challenges aren’t hard because they are objectively difficult but because our beliefs complicate them. April discusses how beliefs can keep us stuck in unnecessary complexity, and how adopting new, empowering beliefs can make things simple.

• Practical Examples: April shares actionable stories, like how knowing the right person can simplify a big opportunity or how focusing on one service can pay off large debt.

Life is full of challenges that seem complex, but more often than not, the solutions are simple if we change the way we think about them. April encourages listeners to ask themselves, “What would have to be true for this to be simple?” as a tool to unlock creative solutions, reduce stress, and make meaningful progress in their lives. Simplicity is not always easy, but it is always within reach if you're willing to reframe your approach.

Are you getting sidetracked by easier goals that don’t lead to your long-term vision? It’s not that you lack motivation—it’s that there’s often a clearer path to a lesser goal. In this episode, April dives into how we can stay focused on our big goals and not get distracted by the more convenient, but less impactful, tasks that pop up every day. Learn how to establish your “One Move” that aligns with your 3-year vision and make sure that’s where your effort goes.

• Motivation isn’t the problem: April explains that most people are willing to work and put in the reps—but often towards the wrong goals. The real issue is how we focus our energy on a clearer path to lesser goals.
• The One Move: Instead of chasing smaller, more convenient goals, April discusses how to identify the One Move—the action that will get you closer to your ultimate 3-year vision.
• Ben Hardy’s Insight: April references Ben Hardy’s idea of focusing on future self and making decisions that serve your long-term vision. Lesser goals can feel productive but don’t move you toward your highest potential.
• Client Story (David’s Routine): April shares a story about David, one of her clients, who transformed his productivity by dedicating his mornings to himself—coffee, journaling, and training—before starting his day. This simple routine helped him gain clarity and stay on track with his bigger goals.
• Avoiding the Distraction of Easy Wins: April breaks down how our brains are wired to seek immediate rewards, and why that often leads us down the path of easier, less meaningful goals.

Don’t let a clearer path to a lesser goal derail your 3-year vision. Motivation isn’t the issue; it’s about focusing on the right goals. Identify your One Move and make sure your daily actions align with your future self. Avoid the trap of small, easy wins that pull you off course. Recommit to the big goals, and create habits that support them.

Feeling overwhelmed and busy is a common challenge for many of us, especially when juggling multiple projects and commitments. In this episode of PivotMe, April introduces three powerful decision filters that can help you ruthlessly prioritize your tasks and regain control of your time. It’s not about getting more done faster; it’s about getting the right things done faster. By using these decision filters, you’ll be able to identify which tasks truly need your attention and which can be delegated, delayed, or dropped altogether.

• Overwhelm and Busyness: April discusses how feeling overwhelmed often stems from taking on too many tasks without discerning which ones are truly necessary. It’s crucial to decide which plates to keep spinning and which to set down.
• The 3 Decision Filters: April explains the decision filters to use every day:
  1. Does this need to be done?
  2. Does this need to be done by me?
  3. Is this a 10x or 2x opportunity?
• Academy Client Share: April shares a case study from a client in the PivotMe Academy who transformed his consulting business by applying the decision filters. By delegating time-consuming analytics and editing tasks, he freed up several hours each week and was able to take on an additional client, achieving "more money, in less time."
• Implementing the Filters: April provides practical tips on how to integrate these decision filters into your daily routine and shares common tasks that are easy to delegate or eliminate.
• Wins: The episode closes with a celebration of recent wins from the PivotMe community, reinforcing how using these decision filters has empowered listeners to reclaim their time.

Overwhelm and busyness are often the result of tackling too many unnecessary tasks. By using these three decision filters daily, you can better prioritize your to-do list, delegate when possible, and focus on opportunities that will have the most impact. Remember, productivity isn’t just about doing things faster—it’s about doing the right things faster. Implement these decision filters to reclaim your time and power.

Are you stuck trying to figure out why you haven’t reached your goals yet? Success is predictable when approached strategically, and in this episode of PivotMe, April shares a game-changing formula to help you get there faster. Tune in to learn Cameron Herold’s Secret Formula to Success: Focus x Faith x Effort = Success. With this quantitative approach, you’ll understand how to measure and improve your likelihood of achieving your personal, business, or project goals.

• The Formula for Success: April explains the Focus x Faith x Effort = Success equation. She guides you through how to rate each factor like a percentage to predict your chances of success in any goal.
• Identifying Your Key Needle-Mover: When applying the formula, recognize which of the three factors—focus, faith, or effort—will make the biggest difference for you.
• Boosting Faith: April dives into how affirmations, visualization, and surrounding yourself with successful people can increase your faith and belief in achieving your goals.
• Raise Your Necessity: Learn how increasing the necessity or urgency to achieve your goal can amplify your chances of success.
• Choosing the Right Lever: Figure out which part of the formula you need to focus on the most to propel you toward success faster.

Success isn't a guessing game. It’s about strategically working on the right levers—focus, faith, and effort. Take the time to apply this formula to your own goals, identify the weakest link, and improve it to guarantee better results. The clearer you are on where you need to put in work, the closer you'll get to reaching your dreams.

In today’s fast-paced world, we constantly switch between different roles and environments, from work-mode to parent-mode, and everything in between. How do we manage these transitions effectively and show up as our best selves, without chasing the impossible idea of "perfect"? In this episode of PivotMe, April discusses the importance of recognizing transitional moments and being intentional in how we approach them. Learn practical strategies to navigate these shifts and set purposeful intentions for each role you play throughout the day.

• The Power of Transitional Moments: We often switch between various roles—professional, personal, leadership, and more. April explains how being mindful during these transitions can help us show up as our best selves.
• Examples of Transition: Whether it's a project manager dealing with a client or a parent switching gears from work to talking to their child, each role demands a different version of ourselves.
• Tips from Brendon Burchard’s High-Performance Habits: April draws on Brendon Burchard's concept of acknowledging transitions and shares two actionable tips:
  1. Take Two Deep Breaths: Release tension from the previous role.
  2. Set an Intention: Define how you want to show up in the next role, whether it’s as a leader, a parent, or a friend.
• Real-World Application: April shares humorous and real-life examples, like explaining to her child that their HOA won’t allow pet donkeys. These moments illustrate the need to shift our mindset and intentions based on the roles we play.
• Execution: You’ll make many transitions throughout the day—own them by consciously managing your state and setting clear intentions.

Life is full of transitions, and how you handle them can make all the difference in showing up as your best self. By taking a moment to breathe and set an intention for each role, you can navigate these transitions with purpose and clarity. Remember, you are capable of choosing how you show up—don’t let old stories hold you back.

Today we're talking about something that might be holding you back more than you realize—your past limp. Whether it's a physical limp or a mental one, these adjustments we make after experiencing hurt can linger long after the pain has passed. In this episode, I share my own story of how a past injury kept me limping even when the hurt was gone, and how that relates to the way we all hold onto past pain. It's time to recognize these outdated adjustments and let them go.

• April’s Throwback Story: April kicks off the episode by sharing a personal story about how she developed a limp after an injury and how her brain kept the limp long after her body had healed.
• The Protection Mechanism: How we instinctively try to protect ourselves after being hurt and why these survival mechanisms can end up holding us back over time.
• Recognizing What Holds You Back: The importance of identifying the outdated behaviors or beliefs that are no longer serving you, and how they can cause you to miss out on opportunities you think you aren’t ready for.
• The Journey to Rewire: April discusses the process of rewiring your mindset and behavior to walk your journey without that limp, allowing you to embrace new opportunities with confidence.

Holding onto a past limp, whether physical or emotional, can prevent you from reaching your full potential. By recognizing and letting go of these outdated adjustments, you can move forward without the unnecessary baggage. Remember, walking without a limp is worth it. Let’s change the story you're telling yourself, and in doing so, change your life.

Today, we dive into the idea that it's not just about working hard for your future self—it's about being willing to fail for your future self. We'll explore why embracing failure is essential for growth and how stepping out of your comfort zone can lead to truly transformative change.

• The Importance of Failing for Your Future Self: Discussing the concept from Ben Hardy's book and how it challenges the idea of traditional success.
• Stop Succeeding at Your Current Self: Why living in your comfort zone and continuing to succeed where you already excel can hold you back from reaching your true potential.
• The Fear of Failure: April shares her personal struggle with committing to the 75 Hard challenge and the fear of failure that kept her from starting.
• Reframing Failure: How April turned the 75 Hard challenge into 75 one-day challenges and learned to get back up after setbacks.
• Learning from Siri Lindley: A powerful lesson on the willingness to embarrass oneself in pursuit of greatness, and why embarrassment is sometimes necessary for growth.
• Embrace Discomfort: The importance of being willing to fail, feel embarrassed, and step outside the easy path to achieve your future goals.

In your journey toward becoming your future self, don’t just focus on hard work—embrace the possibility of failure. True growth comes not just from effort, but from being willing to step outside your comfort zone, face embarrassment, and learn from every setback. Ask yourself, when was the last time you were willing to fail or embarrass yourself in the pursuit of your goals? Let’s make that leap together.

Today in PivotMe we dive into the concept of the "unreasonable ask"—making bold requests that push boundaries and unlock new opportunities. From athletes to entrepreneurs, we'll discuss how stepping outside our comfort zones can lead to significant breakthroughs.

• The Concept of the Unreasonable Ask: Understanding what it means to make an unreasonable ask and why it's crucial for growth.
• Siri Lindley's Story: How Siri Lindley made an unreasonable ask to train in Switzerland with elite athletes.
• Real-Life Examples:
  • David pitching 12-month contracts instead of month-to-month.
  • Mike asking for a $50 million loan for his company.
• Why You Should Make the Unreasonable Ask: Recognizing that others less qualified are already doing it and succeeding.
• Overcoming Self-Doubt: Encouragement for listeners to believe in their capabilities and ask for what they deserve.
• Practical Examples and Challenges:
  • Asking for mentorship or partnerships.
  • PivotMe Academy member's story about seeking support as a new foster mom.
  • Ben's larger-than-usual proposal.

Embrace the power of the unreasonable ask. Push your limits, believe in your worth, and seize the opportunities that come your way. Remember, if you don't ask, the answer is always no.
