The Aligned & Prosperous Podcast

Many of us judge ourselves when we procrastinate as if we are fundamentally flawed and that we need to beat our procrastinating tendencies out of ourselves. That approach will never help you overcome procrastination, because it treats the symptom not the cause.

You see, procrastination is a stress response. It’s one of the fear responses. You know, flight, flight, freeze or fawn. Can you guess which one it is?

Once you recognize that procrastination is a stress response, you will be better equipped to overcome it.

In this episode, I share the two most important questions you can ask yourself so you can get to the root cause of your stress or fear.

And then we explore how you might be misdiagnosing your self with procrastination when really you are experiencing decision fatigue. Have a listen and discover the difference between procrastination and decision fatigue.

Be kind to yourself and keep being stellar!

If you have ever said “I’m just not feeling motivated” then this episode is for you. When you rely on motivation, you are relying on an external locus of control to move you in the direction you want to go. When you tap into inspiration, you take your power back and you can be unstoppable.

Recently, I was speaking to a prospective client and I asked her if she was ready to run her business like a business. Most of the time when I ask someone that question, they know what I mean and they are ready to say yes. This particular client asked me what that meant. In that moment, I realized I use the phrase a lot and no one has ever asked me what it means. So in this episode I share what it means to run your business like a business. If you are ready to experience the benefits of running your business like a business instead of an expensive hobby or an all consuming job, listen up. By the way, that client said yes and we are now working together to help her create a profitable business that supports the lifestyle she wants.

Have you ever wanted to do something big or important but you just didn’t feel ready?

Some of the best ideas never make it out of the idea stage because the process of collapsing infinite possibilities into material reality is simply too tough for many people. Faced with an unknown amount of work and problem solving, we tell ourselves that we aren't ready to take the next step. And so we wait to “feel” ready. And more often than not the feeling never comes.

In this episode, we’ll explore the paradox of readiness (spoiler alert: being ready and feeling ready are different things!)

I’ll also share some questions you can reflect on and resources you can use to create readiness.

Questions for Reflection:

1. Ask yourself: what have I've been longing to create?
2. What it would take to start this project
3. What's one small step I could take toward making that idea a reality today?

Most entrepreneurs I meet have servant hearts. What I mean by that is they really just want to help people by offering their service. 

And the thing that often gets in the way of them helping more people is their fear of sales.
