  • 070: It's RESET WEEK! Here's a simple but powerful 3 step process you can use to make THIS year... your BEST year! (BONUS: You can use it with your team and your clients too!)

    Welcome to DAY 3 of what we call “RESET WEEK!”  

    That's right!  We declare the 3rd week of January to be THE week to allow yousrelf to RESET (after all the dust settles from the new year) and do a few powerful (and fun) exercises that will help to set you up for an AWESOME year!

    We've had two great questions so far... so today... we're sticking with our streak!

    So... Question 3 is: What’s something you want to change or tweak this year?

    It can be big or small… broad or specific.  It can relate to your day job, your coaching and speaking business and/or your life!

    Here’s a simple 3 STEP process to help:

    STEP 1: Create a list of “possible” areas for tweaks and changes.

    Here are some areas to consider.

    INTERNAL:

    Mindset. Outlook.  Spiritual-life.  Beliefs.  Habits.

    EXTERNAL:

    Career. Business.  Relationships.  Network.  Team.

    STEP 2: Pick one and ask yourself, “Why would this be important to change this year?”

    Remember: “If you get clear on your WHY, your HOW will always come!”

    STEP 3: Finally, ask yourself, “What’s a small but significant step I could take today?”

    That's it.

    Pure and simple and powerful!  But hey... it only works if you give it a try.  So set 15 minutes aside... and just see where it takes you!

    And hey... let's hang out!

  • 069: It's RESET WEEK! Let's dive into a powerful exercise to help you (and your coaching clients) have the best year yet!

    We declare THIS week (the 3rd week of January): “RESET WEEK!”  SO... we're going to give you a simple but powerful strategy to "reset" and set yourself up for your best freeeeegin' year yet!

    Yesterday's question was: What's something you want to give yourself permission to be a "novice" at?

    Today's is:

    Question 2: What’s something you want to BE more this year?

    SPECIFIC STRATEGY: It’s always good to ask yourself “What do I want to DO today?”  

    But it can also be powerful (maybe even MORE powerful) to first ask yourself, “What do I want to BE more today?”

    Here are some sample “BE” words to get you started:

    Brave. Loving.   Innovative.  Strong.   Hope-filled.  Assertive.   Faithful.  

    Faith-filled.  Generous.   Present.  Kind.  Resourceful.  Resilient.  Joy-filled.  

    Relational.  Trustworthy.  Trusting.  Open.  Boundaried.  Grace-filled.  

    STEPS:

    • Come up with a list of potential “BE” words this year
    • Refer to them weekly / daily
    • As you’re planning day (or planning for tomorrow)… decide on a “BE” word to focus on
    • Then walk out your day with THAT "BE" word in mind

    • 068: Welcome to RESET WEEK at ENCOURAGING THE ENCOURAGERS! This week is specifically designed to help set you up for maximum success for THIS year!

      We declare THIS week (the 3rd week of January): “RESET WEEK!”  

      Why?  Well… I think we can all agree that it is a really good idea to set aside a specific time each year to set some new goals and start some new habits.

      At the same time... I think we can all agree that doing this during the holidays tends to be a REALLY bad freeeegin idea!

      We're busy. We're tired.  It seems like a good idea but THAT timing is nuts!  

      Heck… I think it’s the biggest reason why most New Year’s resolutions fail so quickly!!!

      Think about it… is the best time to start a new diet really the same week you’re just coming off a glutinous multi-day tour of Christmas meals with four different sets of the family?  Is the best time to establish a new exercise plan really the same week you haven’t gotten out of your PJ’s for 3 out of 7 days?

      Nope!  You need some time to let the dust settle.  To give your schedule some time to "normalize."  Yup... you need a time to reset.

      That’s why we claim THIS week as our… official… “RESET WEEK!”

      And with THIS episode... I'm offering you a question to kick the week off right!  Listen in and then give it some thought!  Then... take a small but significant step towards making this the best freeeeegin' year yet!

      And... get ready for another strategy tomorrow too!

      Let's gooooooooo!

      And hey... let's hang out!

    • 067: SPIRITUAL SUNDAY - Hey Encourager! I believe you're a Missionary in the biggest mission field on the planet!!! Here's why!
      Welcome to our first Spiritual Sunday of SEASON TWO of the Encouraging the Encouragers podcast!!!

      Check out the new website: www.encouragingtheencouragers.com.

      That's right!  It's a "Spiritual Sunday" episode of ETE!  That's when we take a little time to talk about things like faith and spiritual journey stuff.  Ohhhh I love these episodes!  With THIS episode... we talk through a conversation I recently had with a Coach who was coming out of ministry and wrestling with getting paid (well) for something she'd given away for free for a long time.  The conversation took a surprise turn but we talked about something that wound up being very powerful for her.  If you've ever struggled with charging (a lot) money for something you have done and/or you would do for free... I think this might help you too!

      Let's goooooooooooo!!!!

    • 066: Don't be afraid to tick some people off! Even though you're trying to make the world a better place as a Coach or Speaker... we can still can upset some peeps. Here's why that's good!
      Welcome to SEASON TWO of Encouraging the Encouragers!!!

      Check out our brand spanking new website: www.encouragingtheencouragers.com.

      We've gotten a LOT of great feedback for Encouraging the Encouragers (thanks to everyone who's left a review or sent us an encouraging email!), but we got some negative feedback from someone recently.  He just doesn't get it and he certainly doesn't like it.  And guess what?  THAT's A GOOD THING!  In this episode we talk about why negative feedback can help you to know you're right on track!  I can remember a time when I used to be afraid of someone being negative or someone criticizing what I'm doing... but now I take it as confirmation!  Let's talk about why... so you don't have to be afraid of the Negative Nellies anymore!  

      Let's goooooooooooo!!!!

    • 065: Do you have a book in you? (I bet you do!) Hey... Coach, Speaker or Content Creator... here's a simple strategy that will help you to get paid as you write it!
      Welcome to back to SEASON TWO of Encouraging the Encouragers!!!

      Check out our new website: www.encouragingtheencouragers.com.

      I was working with one of my Coaching Clients this week and they were talking about a book concept.  They're really excited about the possibilities... but they're a little nervous.  They KNOW the content will change lives (because it's changed HER life) but she doesn't have a lot of social proof and success stories yet.  She'd thought about trying to go away to an AirBnB for a week or two to write it... but her schedule was full and she was a little worried about the finances of taking that approach too.  So... I introduced her to a simple but powerful strategy she could use that would allow her to get paid as she wrote the book... PLUS... it would allow her to gather social proof and case studies... as well as build momentum and interest too!  As you can imagine... she was alllllll ears!  
      More importantly, after she heard about the strategy... she excitedly said, "Ohhhh I can do THAT!"  Wooohooooo!  
      If you're an Encourager... I know you have a least one (if not fifty) books in you!  So check out this episode and give it a try too!  And hey... if you have questions... hit me up at www.encouragingtheencouragers.com.  Let me know your questions and I'll do a follow up episode on the subject!

      Let's goooooooooooo!!!!

    • 064: The 3 word phrase I use to OVERCOME PERFECTIONISM! I want YOU to have it too!
      BIG NEWS!!!

      Perfectionism is an ENCOURAGER KILLER!  That's right!  I hear it from so many of the amazing Coaches, Speakers and Content Creators that I get to work with.  That although everything looks awesome on the outside... if we dig in... we find that perfectionism is holding them back from the higher levels of greatness they know they could be achieving.   And hey... if you coach and/or speak to high-achievers... you know that perfectionism is rampant in that group too!  So... they need you to help them overcome it too!  And hey... let's get real.  This is something I have to be intentional about... daily.  So yeah... a question came in on this subject to I want to give you the 3-word phrase that I lean on every dang day!

      Let's goooooooooooo!!!!
