The eXperiment Podcast

Time is precious and patience is a virtue

While patience is a virtue, waiting around doing nothing certainly isn’t the answer to finding success, in business or in life. The key to balancing time and functionality lies with the actions you take and the focus of your life being driven by your habits, rather than by the results.

In today's episode we talk about how to establish allowing time and patience to do its work in our lives on a daily basis to access the excellence of who we are meant to be.

Today's episode is a recap of 2020 in one word - RESILIENCE!! Whew! What a year, right?!?! Well, today I share some gentle reminder of how you can keep moving forward despite the circumstances you find yourself in.

Thank y'all so much for letting me share a little piece of me in each of these The eXperiment Podcast episodes. Christmas is a special time of year and we all have many memories and traditions. I've had some rough years for sure but those are the times that I lean on those cherished memories to pull me through. God is good! Merry Christmas to you and your family!!

I share some tips on how you can find the fun in your daily life on today’s The eXperiment Podcast - 12 Doors to 2021! I’m so grateful to do what I do! I talk about "Oh what fun it is to be an Entrepreneur." I love being a Real Estate Broker and Business Coach. There’s a million reasons why I do what I do, but there’s 3 that take the cake . . .

1. I LOVE the people I work with!! They truly make me a better me!

2. There’s never one day that is the same – constantly learning. That may scare some people but it’s one of the reasons that I get out of bed every day.

3. I am honored by knowing that I get to MAKE a DIFFERENCE and an IMPACT on others. Helping someone find a place to call home and being a lamp on the road to a successful business is truly a gift and a daily joy for me!

I know month of December is usually C-R-A-Z-Y for most, but clearly we’re all numb to crazy – thank you 2020! I know it’s been said that life is a marathon, not a sprint, and this year has taught us just THAT!!

IF you didn’t get the message that 2020 was sending, here’s a quick recap:

1. SLOOOOOOOW Down!  Be in the moment.  Look the person you’re talking to in the eyes (or zoom as it has been this year). 

2. Your Health MATTERS!!!  This is a principle that I ALWAYS include in my business coaching because if you’re not healthy, you’re not able to serve your clients at the highest level.

3. INSPIRED Action VS Action out of Responsibility . . . As some of you know, I took the past month off from showing up on social media specifically.  This was the lesson I learned.  Let me explain . . . as  a marathon runner, you commit to a goal which requires disciplined and responsible action.  There are some mornings that you do not want to run and those runs can sometimes turn out good.  BUT – when I’m truly inspired to run, those are my best runs – ease and fun.  The same is true with life.  If you’re going through life taking action solely out of responsibility, take a pause and ask yourself why and how can you change that.

I hope these tips are helpful and with our 12 Doors to 2021, you can find more tips and resources on today’s The eXperiment Podcast.

Today's episode, we talk about what fun 2020 has been, the lessons we learned that will make us better entrepreneurs in 2021.

Today's episode is all about our four-legged friends! They make such a difference in our lives. I've been through so much with my Thomas Ray these past 2 weeks, I thought it was a perfect time to shine the spotlight on adopting a pet and the 3 lessons I've learned having these amazing creatures in my life.

Contact your local animal shelter to donate your time to walk the pets they have there. Donate what you can, even $5 can help! Here's the links to the shelters I mention, but please simply google animal shelter near you and support them however you can.

In today's episode, we share some helpful tips to make the most out of this crazy holiday time.

1. Organize a virtual family Thanksgiving meal

This year, minimize risk by moving the celebration online and organizing a virtual gathering.

Even if it’s not the same as being in the same room, setting up a group video chat still allows everyone to be together.

To help things go smoothly on Thanksgiving, test your chosen virtual gathering method ahead of time to work out any kinks.

To improve the video conferencing experience, consider:

• Enlarging your viewing screen by using your TV as a computer monitor
• Using a laptop or tablet instead of a smartphone
• Using a larger smart display device like the Amazon Echo Show with 8 inch display, Facebook Portal Plus with 15.6 inch display, or Google Nest Hub Max with 10 inch display

Note: To include older adults who aren’t able to set up or use technology devices due to dementia or other health conditions, we’ve got detailed suggestions for how to video chat with them here.

And here are a variety of ways to gather virtually.

Group video calls:

• Jitsi Meet – a fully encrypted video conferencing solution that you can use all day, every day, for free, with no account needed
• Zoom – here’s a helpful video tutorial on using Zoom with multiple people, their group video calls are free for 40 minutes (hint: start a new call after 40 minutes)
• Google Meet – anyone with a Google Account can create a video meeting, invite up to 100 participants, and meet for up to 60 minutes per meeting for free.
• UberConference – free videoconferencing with no PINs or downloads needed

Free one-on-one video calls:

• FaceTime on Apple iPhones
• Zoom
• Facebook Messenger
• WhatsApp
• Skype (Web / iPhone / Android)
• Google Meet

If video doesn’t work for everyone, set up a free conference call...
