Become More Podcast

Fear is greatly misunderstood. It has been a dream killer and soul squelcher for many women. Ladies, we have become masters of mediocrity and creators of complacency because of fear. These are not badges of honor my friends.

The fact is, everyone feels afraid. Top artists, athletes, writers, performers, business owners, and activists feel fear. When you experience fear, you are not weaker than others, you are just human.

No matter what you want to explore, change or move, you will face fear. 

In this months Become More Podcast we are going to learn of two women who faced fear and created amazing opportunities.

It is the time of year that we get clear on our goals and motivations for the year. Writing your goals is an important step to growing closer to the aspirations you seek. But, I want to introduce you to another way to get clear on your goals and visualize them happening in your life.

Vision boarding.

Vision boarding is a great way to create a visualization of everything you want to be, do and have in the future.

A mission supported with a strong strategy that is measured and evaluated creates:

A clear path to high performance for your company. A sense of focus for the leaders. Improves brand awareness for the customer. Gives defined goals and feedback to the employees.

Regardless of whether your business is a small start-up or one of the biggest players in your industry, a mission gives a foundation for the organization to stand on. The business strategy is how the business will achieve success throughout the year.

In the Become More Podcast we are going to dive into the components of a business strategy.

We are addicted to busyness. A busy career, family life, and volunteering.

Everyone has a busy schedule. We get through our week and feel we accomplished something. We focus on actions that keep us busy but are avoiding life’s reality and choices.

Why?  Because it is hard.

It is much easier to stay busy and avoid life’s hard questions. But, at the end of the day, you will fall short of achievement.

Your marriage will be average.  The connection with your children will be weak. Burnout will be prevalent. And, you will not meet your purposeful goals.

I hope you can take the tips from the Become More Podcast and begin to make changes in your life.

We will never stop comparing ourselves to others. This instinct to compare helps us seek certainty, purpose and significance- so it is just a part of our life. 

But, if you find yourself in a comparison that is inflating your ego or becoming toxic for you, refrain from doing it. It’s not serving you. 

This week in the Become More Podcast you are going to learn to stop comparing yourself in a toxic way but using comparisons to identify your uniqueness; define your identity; create significance; and celebrate others.

With enough self-awareness,  you can eventually learn to use that comparison not to unfairly tear yourself down or artificially build yourself up, but to learn and grow.

Fear is greatly misunderstood. It has been a dream killer and soul squelcher for so many. We have become masters of mediocrity and creators of complacency because of fear. These are not badges of honor my friends.

No matter what you want to explore, change or move, you will face fear. In the journey of life, fear will creep in if you are moving on the path toward your dream. Those who don’t face fear are not moving, exploring or doing anything. They are stagnant.

In this podcast- you are going to learn that fear is a great indicator and how you can transform the idea of fear to serve you and lead you to success.

Anything done by a standard or an acceptable amount will not result in success. When you become complacent, too comfortable or decide to coast in your life, career or business, you are risking a downward spiral.

If you are okay with average and are okay with doing what everyone else is doing, you are putting yourself at risk of failure.

Hear me out.

This is why people have failing marriages, businesses, careers, and health. We are giving average attention and getting average results.

It is time to change your commitment to average and seek extraordinary results.
