Have you ever been busy working, but not necessarily being productive? In this episode, I'll share with you three ways to be productive rather than spending your time being busy for the sake of being busy.

Episode Highlights:

• Being busy is all about being occupied, but with what? You can be busy doing many things but are you moving the needle forward. 
• Being productive means that you are producing an effective result for you and your business. 
• Stop doing all the busy things in your life. One of the main productivity killers is social media. Make sure to give yourself time limits on social media so that your time can be better spent in other places. 
• Make sure that you are scheduling smart when it comes to your calendar. Remember there is a time and place for everything.
• Focus on a specific task instead of having your hands in too many things at one time. Focusing is more effective than multi-tasking. 
• Always stick to your script. If you have a planner or have time allotted or certain tasks, make sure that you stick to your plans. Don't falter.

This week’s episode we are digging deeper into Opposition Factors that affect us and may prevent us from reaching our goals. In episode 43 we discussed the common internal oppositions that appear for us, and this week, we are discussing several external oppositions.

Episode Highlights

• Seeking the validation from others can help in some cases, however if validation isn’t favorable, it is important to know how to respond. 
• Use any validation responses whether positive or negative to refine and to reshape your goal.
• When you get your first critic, it could be an opportunity to get deeper into refining or validating your goal or idea.
• Think of criticism as a dialogue and use it as fuel to get to where you need to go.
• Accountability partners are there to help keep us on our path. Although when we are being held accountable we may not see it that way. 
• While on this journey to meet your goals, make sure that you use your accountability team to support you.
• See accountability as an opportunity to be vulnerable in where you are at, and allow your partners or coach guide you through.

Opposition is what happens when you start to move to completing your goals. This week's podcast discusses three common areas of opposition and what you can do to overcome them.

Have you created a life plan yet? Well, creating a plan for where you want to go, only helps you as you journey to your destination. Consider listening to Episode 41 How to Create a Life Plan to Meet Your Goals to get started.

Episode Highlights

• Almost always when we set out to create our goals, opposition will be a factor.
• The key is becoming aware of the areas of opposition so that you can easily move through it.
• Imposter syndrome is a common opposition that everyone suffers from. 
• Imposter syndrome is when you feel you aren't worthy or enough to do this new thing you are looking to do.
• If you are dealing with imposter syndrome, the key thing is now you can create a new story for yourself instead of believing one that is made up.
• Comparing is another common opposition that most suffer from. 
• Comparing is like imposter syndrome in that you look externally and use your perception against progress. 
• The key with comparing to not let it get you into shame, but rather use your quest to gather inspiration from external examples, as inspiration only. 
• The last common example is deflecting. This occurs when others share something positive about what they see about your change, but you humbly push their comments away.
• Deflecting can be conquered by a simple thank you. Let the positivity flow if you are making great traction on your goals.
• Finally be cautious of burnout when you are ramping up something new. There are ways to get traction in a healthy way versus it hurting you. 
• If you feel you are in a burnout situation, consider registering for my free mini-course on preventing burnout created just for you.
