Business Brain Rewire

When you don't have an abundant, healthy relationship with TIME (or money), it feels like you don't have enough.

This leads to not being intentional with it, managing it, or reaching your goals in the timeline you want.

Today’s episode is all about forming a healthy viewpoint and philosophy around TIME, so you can be more purposeful with how you allocate your time in your business to move the needle on what really matters to you.

I couldn’t think of a better person to have this conversation with than Danielle. Danielle is a life coach for women who helps them rediscover their purpose and build the life they truly want.

This conversation is like being a fly on the wall as two coaches nerd out and talk shop about the concepts and tools we share with our clients related to TIME.

You will walk away from this conversation with intriguing new ideas about how to look at TIME that will help you lead your business with more purpose, intention, and focus….

Mastering your relationship with TIME is the vehicle that will get you to the financially sustainable business you want for yourself this year. So carve out some time this week to listen in. It could be the most important decision around your time that you make.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

- Why your relationship with TIME is really the relationship with yourself and your purpose

- The difference between being a purpose-driven entrepreneur and living ON PURPOSE

- The concept of Attention Allocation and how to use it

- How to drop the feeling that you “don’t have enough time.”

- Coaching wisdom on dealing with overwhelm and busyness

A powerful clarity and goal-setting tool that will help you become more successful and fulfilled in your life and business.

Thinking about your dreams and goals can actually feel PAINFUL sometimes.

The pain comes from the fact that you haven’t reached your goals. Even though you’ve been at it for a long time.

I get it. The things you’ve tried are not sticking. And money and time feel tight when you’ve got something going on like:

> Juggling your business with another job

> Caring for your kids or aging parents

> Physical pain or tiredness from illness, an accident or pregnancy

> Stress, anxiety, worry or other mental health stuff

Your brain starts to connect the dots and tell you…”This isn’t working!”

Here’s the thing, though: Your current circumstances are DIFFERENT than the sentences in your mind.

I know it feels like you’re just observing reality. But your brain is actually interpreting everything and creating a story.

The sentences in your mind have a BIG impact. They change how you feel and what you decide to do next.

They make you feel a certain way too.(overwhelmed, stressed, unsure, tired. etc.) and motivate all your decisions, ideas and actions.

It boils down to this: The sentences in your mind drive everything and literally create your reality. They either propel you toward your goals, or send you spiraling into confusion, procrastination, or hopelessness.

This is why I call them Impact Sentences. They impact everything regardless of whether or not you are aware of it.

But the best news is this: You have more POWER over the sentences than they have over you. As long as you pay attention to them and manage them.

Join me on this week’s podcast to learn all about Impact Sentences.

I’ll teach you how to become aware of the sentences in your mind, so that you don’t become a victim to the story your brain is telling you.

Once you understand Impact Sentences, you will think more helpful thoughts, feel better, and take LESS but more energized action to reach your goals this year.

You are not as far from your goals as your brain is trying to tell you.

Impact Sentences are going to change the game for you.

You can learn how to THINK, FEEL and DO more effectively in your business. Listen in to learn how.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

> What Impact sentences are, and what they are not

> How to be aware of your impact sentences

> The #1 thing that entrepreneurs try to do that doesn't get them to their goals

> What to focus your attention on so that you reach your goals more easily this year

You don’t need another degree, more experience, more time, more money, the right business model, the right price, personality, better branding, a love for social media, or anything else to succeed as an impact entrepreneur.

What you need are skill sets. That’s it.

These skill sets are really just mindsets (ways of thinking) that will have you showing up differently than you are now.

You’ll stop searching for THE ANSWER, asking, “will this work?”

Instead, you’ll start focusing on who you are BEING and how you are showing up each day instead.

Anyone can learn the mindsets. They are not hard.

When you learn them, you’ll find yourself reaching goals and enjoying the process much more than you are now.

The constant questioning happening in your head will be a thing of the past.

But the best news is this: the skill sets and mindsets that help you launch are the same ones that help you scale.

The entrepreneurial process is the same. You deepen your understanding of the skill sets and master them at each level over and over.

This is why learning CEO skill sets now is not something to put off until money is not as tight.

Doing what you are doing now, has only gotten you so far. It’s time to try something different.

So I hope you join me for the new Mini Series on the Rank & File Podcast, kicking off today.

Over the next three episodes, I'll teach you how to BE in your business. I’ll walk you through the skill sets and mindsets that will change how you show up to your business.

This will set you up for an incredible 2023, where you’re ready to tackle your next big goal (without having to sacrifice your personal life or sense of well-being).

The things you learn in these episodes will give you back more time, more ease, and more sense of enjoyment in your business.

We kick off the mini-series today. I’m introducing the skill sets to you (what I call ‘the Pillars of the Simply Sustainable CEO’) and why we need them.

This episode will debunk the myths about the entrepreneurship process most likely holding you back. And I’ll show you why you’re closer than you realize to your goals, if you'll stop focusing on the HOW and start focusing on WHO you are being.
