“I just need to plan more.” Do you really, though? Regardless of the time of year, I often hear people say this. But I think the real answer lies in figuring out what, when, and where you want to direct your attention. Today, I share the differences between plans and schedules and how they go together in helping you figure out what you want to attend to.

We’re talking about this now, in the middle of summer because as we move into fall, you’ll crave a fresh plan and schedule. You may even believe you’ll be happier, and that everyone in your household would be happier. This is 100% possible.

6:30 - What good ol’ Google has to say about planning and scheduling

8:33 - Why you shouldn’t confuse planning with scheduling (or vice versa)

12:39 - What an attention audit is and how to use one if you have trouble planning

18:20 - How scheduling is different than planning and should come after, plus two rules to keep in mind

21:49 - Recapping why scheduling and planning isn’t just about using the pretty planner

How long does it take you to make a decision and act on it? Maybe a little too long?

In this episode, I’m teaching you how to go through a high-value growth cycle that will help you make decisions, implement them, and evaluate them to create more and more breakthroughs in your life and business. 

When you experience growth, you always go through the messy middle stage. This is when things feel really hard and like nothing is going to work out. On the other side of the messy middle is a breakthrough, but you have to push through to reach it. How much easier would that be if you had a process to follow? That’s what I’m sharing with you in this episode. 

If you’re struggling to make decisions, it’s probably because you haven’t made enough of them. Like any skill, decision-making gets easier with practice, so let’s practice! I'm describing what a high-value growth cycle (or breakthrough cycle) looks like and how completing these cycles moves you towards the results you want. 

If you want to create more breakthroughs, this is for you.

Do you have a goal that you’re struggling to reach? 

Here’s a question that might help: where are you starting from? If you’re not sure where you’re at right now, it’s going to be almost impossible to plan how to move forward. You have to know where you’re starting from. 

In this episode, we’re talking about why it’s so important to figure out your starting point, why this step is so often overlooked, and how to do it. I want you to get crystal clear on where you’re at right now so that you can begin to grow. 

I’ve noticed that this is a highly underestimated part of developing and growing as a human, so maybe you’ve never even thought about it before. And that’s okay because we’re going to start with the basics! Everything you need to know is in this episode.

It’s important to note that this is not about judging yourself for where you’re at, but fully embracing it. There’s nothing wrong with where you are right now. 

If you’re not sure where you’re at right now, this episode will help you figure it out.

How often are you dismissing your options before you even have a chance to explore them? 

This episode is a guide to accessing all your options. When you’re on autopilot, your brain is going to accept the options that seem realistic, familiar, and safe. In order to actually explore all your options, you have to make a choice to pause and engage your higher brain.

You have to be willing to ask yourself important and powerful questions to even begin to see all your options. In this episode, I’m taking you through the process of searching for options and ideas so that you can see what it takes to go beyond the easy answers and find out what’s really possible for you. 

If you want to find out what options are available to you, don’t skip this episode.

In a perfect world, what would you really want?

This is one of the most important things for you to know. 

Knowing what you want is very different from knowing what you think you can have. Usually, I have to ask my clients what they would want “in a perfect world.” Only then do they dare let themselves dream about what they really want. I’m here to tell you that it’s okay to want what you want. I’m teaching you how to let go of your inhibitions and dare to dream big. 

I have seen so many women hide their truest desires from themselves and I don’t want you to be one of them. 

Tune in to this episode and together we’ll find out what you really want.

Do you find yourself dreaming about what the next level of your success might look like, but you have no idea how to actually get there? Do you worry that when you do achieve that success that something else in your life might fall apart as a result? Are you constantly left wavering because of this?

Well, the solution you are searching for is so simple that I covered it in the very first episode of the Time to Level Up Podcast, and I am replaying it this week because this solution is still one that so many people need.

In this episode, I talk all about how different emotions give us different results, the importance of letting go of doubt and second-guessing when it comes to your potential, and finally, why commitment is all you need to get what you want out of your business and your life.

Ultimately, it is our feelings and emotions that fuel the actions that lead to our success. If you are ready to move forward, make money and manage life so that you can finally reach your big goals, tune in and take notes!

How do you feel when someone misinterprets something you said or puts words in your mouth?

Miscommunication can be frustrating, but it can be completely avoided, so this episode is all about confident communication. 

I’m teaching you how to confidently communicate with your spouse, boss, coworker, client, or neighbor without hurting anyone’s feelings or being misunderstood. The most important thing to know is that there are four parts to a conversation: what you say, what you mean, what the listener hears, and what they make it mean. I’m explaining each of these things and the role they play in confident communication as well as sharing some examples so that you can see them in action. 

I want you to walk away from this episode feeling confident in your communication skills and ready to start speaking up more because you’re not afraid of being misunderstood. 

Tune in to level up your communication right now.

What does vulnerability have to do with confidence? 

I've been thinking about how lack of confidence shows up for me and my clients and I wanted to explore it with you in this episode of the podcast. 

I did some research on the connection between confidence and vulnerability, and I found that Brené Brown has identified 4 ways that we try to avoid vulnerability. I’m sharing these 4 things in this episode and talking about what they mean for our confidence and success. 

At the end of the day, when we try to avoid vulnerability, we cut ourselves off from so many experiences and opportunities to find joy. It takes being vulnerable to have the confidence to put yourself out there and see what happens. Do you have what it takes? I think you do. 

If you’re ready to get vulnerable, tune in.

How does confidence compare to motivation? 

We always feel like we need to be more motivated to get more done and stick to our goals, but what if that’s not true? I want to show you why confidence is the key to success, not motivation. 

This episode is all about understanding the human brain. Our brains are wired for survival, so if you can understand the basic survival instincts in your brain, you can use them to your advantage. 

I’m walking you through how the different sections of the brain function at different levels and the three survival instincts that motivate your actions. 

I’m here to help you understand how the brain works, figure out why it’s not just about motivation, and unlock your confidence. 

If you could use a little more confidence, this is for you.

How do you fall in love with failure?

If you read that and thought “why would I want to fall in love with failure?” then keep reading. 

Often we avoid doing something because we’re scared to fail. I bet you’ve put things off in the past because you were worried about what the result would be, but guess what? If you never do the thing, you won’t get any result at all. Failure is the key to success. I know without a doubt that you’ll experience success so much faster if you embrace failure than if you don’t. 

This episode isn’t about how not to fail but how to fail well and experience failure in a positive way. Are you up for the challenge? Let’s get started.
