HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION!

Welcome back to the No More Excuses Podcast.

Today I am reposting my VERY 1st PODCAST! I recorded this on March 21, 2016! And, it's STILL RELEVANT!

I would say over the years I have gone through many adjustments in my podcast, including being more DIRECT, edgier, the occasional cuss words, but the reason I'm still here is because of YOU!

Every time I've thought about stopping, someone emails me and says how much something I said resonated with them, helped them in some way, etc. etc. So... despite some pauses here and there, I'M STILL HERE!

Listen in and share IF and HOW you are Spring Cleaning those GOALS!! And if you haven't even set them yet, well you better get OFF YOUR ASS and DO THAT! 

Email me at [email protected] or share in the comments where your BADASS is reading these notes or listening to the podcast!

Cheers! Sandi

Welcome back to another episode of "No More Excuses"!

In this episode, I break down the myth that being a BADASS means being cold, rude, or harsh. True power comes from confidence, setting boundaries, and showing up with strength and respect.

I’ll walk you through the key differences between being a badass and just being a jerk, plus how to communicate with authority, handle criticism like a pro, and own your success without apology.

Bottom line? You don’t need to tear others down to rise. You can be kind, bold, and unstoppable—all at the same time.

Tune in, level up, and let’s redefine what real strength and badassness looks like!

Cheers!

Welcome back to another episode of "No More Excuses!" 

In this episode, I take a sledgehammer to perfectionism — the sneaky excuse that keeps you stuck.

Perfection is Screwing You Over!

You’re not waiting for the “right time,” you’re just scared. Success doesn’t come from waiting—it comes from DOING. The winners in business and life aren’t waiting for perfection. They take messy action, learn, and keep going.

Listen in as I share that I am a "Recovering Perfectionist" and what I was challenged to do as my first homework assignment as a coach!

And then, I give you YOUR challenge to get you OUT of PERFECTIONIST-MODE and INTO ACTION-MODE!

Stop tweaking. Start DOING. Stop planning. Start EXECUTING.

Share this episode with someone who needs to hear it, and remember: Perfection won’t get you success—ACTION will.

Now, go get shit done!

Welcome back to another episode of the No More Excuses podcast!

January is officially behind us—no more excuses, no more hesitation.

Today I'm celebrating my 13th Birthday!

Ok, well my business' birthday that is!

Momentum is everything—January was the warm-up, but February is when we really get moving.

In this episode, I talk about why February is the month for action and how to push through challenges instead of giving up, and I share my own challenges and how I've kept going over the years.

Today, I ask you one BIG question:

What’s one big goal or challenge that’s been kicking your ass lately?

I know all too well how challenging and frustrating owning a business can be! And how much the pain is worth it! So, how can you NOT give up?

You'll have to listen in as I give you three action steps to stay focused and make real progress!

Listen now and let’s make February count! No more excuses—just action.

Cheers! Sandi

Welcome back to another episode of the "No More Excuses" podcast.

This episode kicks off the year with a reality check for listeners starting to waver on their 2025 goals. I provide some tough love, humor, and actionable advice for anyone feeling the January slump, encouraging persistence and resilience.

Listen in today as I share my own experience with my carry-over goals, how I’m doing with my January goal of “dry January and the carnivore diet”. And who was the inspiration for today’s podcast, especially the title!

This month can be tough for you, your progress and for staying the course. Remember these three things:

1. January is a Test, Not the Finish Line.
2. Three Steps to Bounce Back.
3. The Power of Persistence.

In this episode, I also share my "Word of the Year” and would love to hear yours! Listen in and then download the worksheet from my website!

If you get off-track or have any other reason to want to “tap out”, I have this motivational reminder for you:

You’re stronger than your excuses and capable of dominating your goals. This year is yours to own, so no more excuses—just domination."

Until next time...

Cheers! Sandi

Welcome back to another episode of No More Excuses.

I'm your host, Sandi Ballard, the BADASS Business Coach™. Today I'm throwing down a challenge as we wrap up 2024 and gear up for 2025.

This is your final wake-up call—no sugarcoating, no fluff, just the real deal. It’s time to get uncomfortable, call yourself out, and step into beast mode for 2025. Let's get to it!

1. Own Your 2024: Did you crush it, coast, or crash and burn? What’s the unfiltered truth? No Instagram highlight reels—this is about what really went down.

2. Go Big or Go Home: What’s the goal for 2025 that makes your stomach flip and your heart race? If it doesn’t scare you, it’s not badass enough.

3. Step Up: Share your raw 2024 recap and your unapologetically bold 2025 goal. Post it on Instagram, DM it, shout it from the rooftops with #nomoreexcuseschallenge and don't forget to tag me @thebadassbusinesscoach and prove you’re not just talk.

Most people play it safe, live on repeat, and hide behind excuses. Not here. Not you. This community? We’re about action, clarity, and accountability. If you’re waiting for a sign to level up, THIS IS IT.

Send your stories by January 3rd for a shot at a one-on-one coaching session.

But let’s be real—you’re doing this for you. To stop playing small, to smash through limits, and to DOMINATE 2025 like a badass!

No excuses. No overthinking. No playing small.

Just domination. 

Let’s wreck the old patterns, build new habits, and make 2025 your year to rise. Until next time, remember: No more excuses. Just results and domination. 🔥

Happy Monday Motivation!

Welcome back to another episode of No More Excuses.

In this episode, I broke down how we can finish the year strong with purpose and momentum. Here’s a quick recap of what I covered:

 1. **Building:** I talked about starting something new and creating a foundation for future success. Whether it’s a project, habit, or goal, even small beginnings can lead to big results.

 2. **Rebuilding:** Let’s be real—this year might not have gone as planned. But I reminded you that rebuilding isn’t failure; it’s strategy. Together, we can turn setbacks into comebacks.

3. **Building-Upon:** I asked you to look at your wins this year, no matter how small, and figure out how to scale them. Sometimes, success isn’t about starting over; it’s about doubling down on what’s already working.

4. **Strengthening:** Finally, I encouraged you to focus on consistency and commitment. Strengthening your foundation today means you’ll be unstoppable tomorrow. 

I’m challenging you to take action NOW, not wait for January 1st. One small step today can set the stage for an incredible new year.

If this episode fired you up, share it with someone who needs that end-of-year boost! And don’t forget to subscribe—I’ll be posting daily challenges to help you finish the year as BADASS as ever. 

Let’s do this together!

Cheers!

Welcome back to another episode of the No More Excuses podcast.

This is the podcast that gets you fired up and ready to take charge of your business, your confidence, and your success! I’m Sandi, the BADASS Business Coach™, your host!

We’re at the end of October, yes still the 4th quarter, but we’re deep into the month and before you know it, the holidays will be up our asses! Your business may thrive on the holidays or maybe it’s the opposite and slows down.  

Regardless, it’s the 4th quarter and there’s still is shit to do!

For those ramping up for the holidays, how will you manage the chaos?

For those slowing down, how will you clean up from the year and strategize for next?

The big question I have for you today is, "What’s changed in your business – or life this year?"

Change can affect us personally and our businesses in so many ways. And it obviously depends on what the change is!

 4th Q is time to go “all-in” no matter what.

Time to review three things: 

1. YES what progress have you made on your yearly goals?
2. What 90-day goal did you make? Any progress?
3. And, what’s changed this year? How has that affected your progress?

 Listen in as I share stories of what's changed for my clients and what's helping them as one ramps up and one slows down. We ALL need to take the time to review the year and make any necessary changes to be ready for the new year.

I’d love to hear from you:

•  What business you are in, and are you ramping UP or slowing DOWN?
•  What changes have you gone through this year and how has it affected you and your business?

Thank you for listening and investing in you and your business and for sharing this podcast with others!

Until next time,

Stay BADASS Cheers!

Welcome to another episode of "No More Excuses"!

It’s the 4th quarter, people! We’re in the final stretch of the year. You know what that means—it’s make-or-break time. No more excuses, no more waiting for the "perfect moment." If you’re in business, now is the time to pull it all together and finish the year strong.

In today’s episode, I dive into why the 4th quarter is so crucial for your business, how you can create momentum if you’ve been slacking a bit, and what strategies you need to focus on to crush your goals by year-end.

The 4th Quarter is CRUCIAL!!

Here’s the thing—how you approach the 4th quarter says a lot about how seriously you take your business. Think about it: the last three months of the year can often make or break your annual performance. Why? Because it’s the time where people are starting to evaluate where they stand, reflect on what they’ve achieved, and what they didn’t.

The holiday season is coming up, which means increased consumer spending, more networking events, and greater opportunities to make those important connections that could push your business forward.

If you’re feeling like you didn’t quite hit the mark in the first three quarters, don’t worry—this is your time for a comeback. You can still hit those yearly goals if you get laser-focused NOW. But if you’re just coasting and hoping things will magically come together, well... you’re in for a rude awakening.

It's time to:

1. REVIEW your goals
2. RESET your focus
3. FIND an accountability partner

Yes, you'll have to listen in for more tips and examples!!

Then share, what is YOUR 90-Day GOAL?

Stay Badass! Cheers! Sandi

Here's another episode of No More Excuses!

The last few episodes I’ve discussed "Mastering Workflow Management"

With topics such as finding and implementing a good CRM system, workflow management, identifying key processes and learning how to map out your flow!

Another way to “Master Workflow Management” is to Prioritize!

In today's episode I talk about using the Eisenhower Matrix to prioritize tasks based on urgency and importance. It splits your tasks up into quadrants.

Quadrant 1: Urgent and Important (Do) 

Quadrant 2: Important and Less Urgent (Schedule) 

Quadrant 3: Urgent and Less Important (Delegate)

Quadrant 4: Less Urgent and Less Important (Eliminate)

Then I go on a rant about delegating! LOL!

As a growing business owner, some times the tasks that you love to do, have just become a waste of time for you to do and that can be hard to let go of!

Delegating is a game of TRUST & TRAINING! 

Listen in and then share how you prioritize, perhaps you've used this "quadrant" method and what you've learned to delegate and why!

Until next time... STAY BADASS!

Cheers! Sandi
