What distractions are showing up in your life and business? 

I've talked quite a bit recently about productivity. And productivity isn't about doing more,  it's about working on the right things. You want to make sure that you're working on the right things and making sure that you avoid things like distractions, as much as you possibly can, which can severely hinder your productivity and momentum.

As an entrepreneur, distractions ARE going to show up for you. And they might show up in different ways. It's not always just about scrolling Instagram or bingeing Netflix.  So that's what we're going to dive into today: what may be distracting you and how to fight it.

Procrastination is actually the antithesis of productivity. I recently asked in my Unstoppable Action Taking Entrepreneurs, Facebook Group, if the women in there got more done, when they felt like they had plenty of time or when they had a looming deadline. The majority stated they needed a deadline for pressure.

This idea is pervasive. We have this idea that if we put things off until they're due, then the pressure of the deadline is what is going to motivate us to get it done so we can do the thing most efficiently. I'm using air quotes, by the way, around efficiently. 

Procrastination is the antithesis of productivity, because what we think is efficiency is really just surface level. What actually happens is it takes more time, energy, cognitive, bandwidth, and space. Procrastination is depleting your brain power. 

So if you're onboard, if you're ready to overcome this leaning on procrastination, this trap of procrastination, this episode is for you. I’m going to go over some ways that you can sidestep procrastination and just do the damn thing. Ready? Good, let’s go.

In April of last year, I had planned to ramp up my content creation and really position myself for a huge launch of my very first course ever, but I wasn't in the right headspace for it. I had been struggling to get anything meaningful accomplished in my business because the pandemic had shut down my daughter's school. I became a stay at home mom overnight. And I was struggling majorly.

Luckily my business coach at the time took notice of this and rather than pushing me to work harder and hustle more, suggested a doing-detox. On a day-to-day basis, I had lost focus on why productivity mattered to me. Can you relate to that? 

By cultivating the right mindset about productivity, I was able to increase my output and truly impact my success. And that’s exactly what we’re going to talk about in this episode, how to create the mindset of a productivity powerhouse.

Today’s episode is all about optimizing your client journey.  Creating a client journey is impactful and delightful for your client and vital for sustainability, for you. 

But, you may have that client journey that isn't serving you. And chances are, if it's not serving you, it's not serving your clients either. You're either trying to do too much and make your client journey super personalized, which isn't sustainable long-term if you want to scale, or it sounds like a robot is answering all your emails and it's a big fat turn-off to your clients and leads. 

Think about this. How much of what you do is because your ideal client asks for it. This sounds like a really good practice, right? Listen to your ideal client and create experiences based on what they say they want? Wrong. And I will tell you why and how to optimize your client journey in the episode.

You’ve probably heard the quote by Jim Rowan that says, “we become most like the five people we spend the most time with”. If that is true, then it’s important that we are intentional with choosing those five people, right? 

Absolutely. But you still might be wondering, why? Well, because as much as we'd like to think we are, we aren't super human or robots. We are imperfectly susceptible to bouts of doubt and self sabotage. It's normal and entrepreneurship, especially online entrepreneurship can be super lonely and isolating. We need those people around us that we can learn from, grow with, receive support from, and also those that will  hold us accountable. 

In this episode I'm sharing with you how to build your success circle to level up your business. Ready? Okay, let’s get started.
