What if planning for the new year was as simple as making your favorite version of salad at a salad bar (and yes, I am well aware that salad bars are SO 2019, ha!)? What if planning effectively was all about choosing the pieces of planning that YOU need, spending the time on it that YOU want, and then walking away with a plan that YOU feel good about? Well, it is. Planning should ONLY work like this, actually, and it IS this simple. Let's jump in...

Setting boundaries is great... and also? It's 100% inevitable that you will sail past a boundary and need to reset. This is not only normal but expected... and the key to actually finding and holding your boundaries around giving is to NOT give up when you went sailing past. On this episode we're going to talk about what to do when you sail past the boundary you've set and also how to know WHEN to adjust course, because sometimes that's what's needed. Listen on for all the goodness.

Giving is great, but giving with clear boundaries that feel good to you AND the people you're helping is SO. MUCH. BETTER. This week on the podcast we're talking about which boundaries to set as a giver, how you might think about boundaries in a way that's more flexible (and less rule-y), and - most importantly - how to make them stick because having boundaries is great, but actually USING them is life changing. Ready to give big AND have boundaries you feel good about? Let's talk about it.

What we THINK about giving and receiving has an outsized impact on what we ACTUALLY give and receive. So, how do you check in on what you believe in these two areas and why should you bother? And what are the most common places what you believe about giving and receiving might be out of sync (making it harder to do both!)? Let's talk about it.

The first step in re-balancing what you GIVE and what you GET back for what you give (which is how we stop overgiving, feeling burned out, feeling undervalued... so many things) is to actively decide what you WANT to give and what you do NOT want to give. 

It really IS as simple as it sounds. 

Today I'm sharing the questions you can ask yourself as you decide what you LOVE to give and what feels like too much so that you can feel better about both how you're showing up AND about what you're getting back when you do. 

There's giving (and I'm a FAN of giving) and then there's giving too much. 

So... how do you KNOW if you're giving too much? AND, more importantly, how can you continue to BE yourself - a giver - AND also NOT give so much that there's nothing left for you? 

Let's talk about it.

One of the fastest ways to simplify what you DO in your business is to focus - ruthlessly - on doing what's YOURS to do and letting the rest go. And what on earth does that actually mean? Well... it starts with focusing on to-dos and the parts of to-dos (for example, like posting on social media, or making offers) that are within YOUR control - think focusing on making the post vs. what the algorithm will do with it once you hit the button. When we focus on DOING the things we can do - even the simplest things - we get more accomplished, in less time, with less fuss, with less drama AND we make more progress. Ready for that? Listen to THIS. 

Want to save a ton of time (and energy, and money) in your business? It all starts with ONE question. Asking this question in your business on a regular basis will cut down on the things you don't love - drama, questioning, starting over and give you MORE of the things you WANT to gain - time, energy, money. Ready for less drama and more time? Of course you are :) Listen on to get started NOW. 

If you're a teacher and you've thought about starting a business, you probably know Stacey Ogden and Side Hustle Teachers (and if you don't, you should!). 

On this episode of UNcomplicating Business Stacey and I talk about the things learned (repeatedly!) as we started businesses, our biggest mistakes (and learning experiences), our ah-has as entrepreneurs, and WAY more. 

If you're growing a business AND doing something else (even if it's not teaching), this episode is a must listen, full of practical advice, things to try, and things you can STOP doing right now. 

In business and in life there are a handful of simple truths that, when we REMEMBER them, make whatever we're doing SIMPLER. 

For the second in this series, one of the most important truths I've learned as a business owner is this: it's in your control. 

Growing a business, owning a business, succeeding in business is IN our control. 

Knowing this makes a HUGE difference because it helps us make key shifts inside and out, without which success becomes REALLY difficult. 

So what are these shifts?

 Let's talk about them...
