How do you get your children to actually listen to you?

You'll know the story of the Big Bad Wolf and the Three little pigs.

Sometimes it feels like you being the Big Bad Wolf, that just keeps blowing and blowing and blowing at this brick house and nothing happens. And sometimes speaking to your children, and they don't do what you asked him to do feels exactly like that. You just blow and blow and blow this brick house and nothing happens.

And then eventually, you try other methods and you climb through the chimney and you burn your bum. And I know that sounds a bit crazy, but just think of how this wolf must have been frustrated, like he blows and he blows and he blows this house, but nothing is happening. And talking to your children falls on brick ears sometimes. What is that sweet spot? How do you get them to actually listen to you?

So let's dive a little bit into that in this episode.

Hello Focusers,

In today's episode, I'm going to dive in a little bit deeper. And the previous episode we talked about how to where you spend your time and the honesty test and I really hope by now you have done the honesty test. And you can see where you don't spend your time wisely. And hopefully, you are creating some really good habits around where you can spend your time wisely.

In today's episode, I'm going to break it down even a little bit more. And this method that I'm going to teach you about in this episode is actually from way back when in the 50s with the 34th, president of America called Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Basically, he created this method for himself now over the years has been perfected, it's has been changed, has been, there's like it's so much to it. But this is where I got the idea from and I've actually used this well six years ago, seven years ago, when I was a personal assistant.

I was so good at my job, that I had to train other personal assistants. This is the reason I was so good because this was the backbone of how I worked efficiently.

I hear this every single week… “Joy, I do not have the time to do what you instructed me to do”. Yes, you're not going to have the time. Nobody has the time. You have to CREATE time.

And remember back to the very first episode, you have to create time for yourself. You need to look after yourself, your mind, your soul, your body because you come first. And this is really tying in with that because finding time is important because you have to find time for yourself, your family, for all the little things in your life.

In this episode, I am going to give you a breakdown of how you can basically get a normal schedule in place for yourself. Because in order for you to get the most out of your time, every single day, you basically need to be super organized.

I'm excited about today's episode today we're going to talk about how to be mindful and what the mindfulness loop is and how you can implement the mindfulness loop in your life.

First of all, I'm not going to dive into extreme detail because this episode will be like two, three hours long. And nobody has the time, I do want to keep them within 10 minutes.

So you guys can grab the golden nuggets or my value bombs, however, you want to call it, go off and go and do your magic and implement something that works in your life.

In this interview, I am speaking so Supermom LaChelle.

She is a mom of 15 children.

What makes LaChelle even more awesome, is that she is owning and operating a successful online business.

I am diving in behind the scenes with Lachelle and getting all the golden nuggets as to how it is possible for her to do all this and stay sain and happy.

Hello, fellow focusers. I

am so excited to join today's episode.

Today we are going to talk about how to focus on controlling your environment, your physical environment. Because this season as you guys know is for the entrepreneurial parents or even just a parent controlling the chaos in their environment.

And what better way to control the chaos than to control the actual physical environment that you're in.

And in Episode 136, this is 138 by the way, and Episode 136 we talked about how to organize your mind because if you have a messy mind you have a messy life, so in this episode, we're just going to swap them around because if you have a messy life, you have a messy mind.

So we really have to get our physical environment also tidy and neat around us so our mind can be more functional, functional, can I say that and also you know controlling the chaos by being more focused on the right things at hand right so there's lots of more information to come, guys, is lots more episodes coming up.

So you know, this is only really episode three from the season. Which is Episode 138 is just a weird number because of all the seasons and you know how the podcasts things rock and roll. Okay, so in this episode, let's dive in a bit how you can control your physical environment by actually being calm about it and not yell at your kids.

Hello focusers I am excited today is Episode 137 of the podcasts Unleash your Focus and today we are going to talk about delegation.

Remember this season seven is all about controlling the chaos. And this is for the parents, entrepreneurial parents, even if you're not a parent, but there will be lots of parenting things in between, so you might get bored, this is really for the parents. And whether you're an entrepreneur or you're not an entrepreneur, it doesn't matter. This is about controlling the chaos.

Number one that I have on delegation is to stop saying, nevermind, I will do that myself. Gosh, we fall into this trap all the time. I do it almost every other week.

And I have to stop and tell myself, nope, you are not doing this. Because I got to a stage in my life when dishes are not done, I'm like never mind I'll do it myself. Or, if this sucks, I'm going to throw up my top and pick it up myself.

I already told you three times I'll pick it up myself, or you need to make a bed. and you're asking your children to help you to make the bed, and they don't do it, or they just don't put their washing in the machine or something that needs to be delegated. And then you just got up, nevermind, I'll just do it myself. Sounds familiar, it does right because we all do it.

But if you do that, you know what you are creating thieves, thieves of your time. You don't want your children or your husband or your spouse or your wife to be a thief. Because if you do everything for them because you go nevermind, I'll do it myself, they are going to become thieves. And I just keep telling myself this every time I want to say nevermind, I'll do this myself.

And it is a very good reminder that you're not the only person in the household, especially if your entrepreneurial parents and you're still working may be full time and you're controlling the chaos. It is just impossible.

You cannot do it all. So please stop saying never mind I will do it myself, that's number one.

Today you're going to listen to Episode 136 of my podcast Unleash your Focus Season Seven. And this podcast is about controlling the chaos. My name is Joy Nicholson.

And this is about controlling the chaos. And what better way to control the chaos than to organize your mind.

And in this episode, I'm going to dive into five key things that you can do to organize your mind because you know if you have a messy mind, you have a messy life. In an episode, we did just before this one, which is actually the first episode.

Our first episode of the season was about really looking after yourself and taking care of yourself. It will be very valuable for you to listen and hear what you can do to just make yourself better to improve yourself and organize your mind.

Even if you're not a parent, you can definitely implement a lot of the content that will help you to be more focused and organized and just have discipline. Also in saying this, is that I will have a lot of things specifically for parents that won't be relevant to you.

As a parent if you have children, there's these false beliefs out there or something that society ingrained in you to say that you have to put your children first, you put them into this world, you decided to make them. They didn't ask to be here. Therefore their needs, their desires, their everything comes before you. Now I want to call bollocks on that. And the reason I'm saying that is because if you don't look after yourself first, who on earth is going to look after them?

My mom died at a young age of 55 even before she turned 55, and she died because I can't say this is the sole reason but my mom was sickly a lot. And my older brother is 12 years older than me. And my younger brother is 9 years older than me. So I was very late to the family and my mom spent a lot of time and energy on me. I'm not saying that I'm the reason that she died at all. But what I am saying is that I saw firsthand how my mom put my priorities and my needs before her own. And she died young, she had cancer on and off for about 15 years, and on top of that, she ended up dying of a stroke. Just assume the medication and all the things her body went through over the years, eventually took a toll on her.

And I'm not making this a sad dramatic lesson, but I want to explain to you that, if you look after yourself first, this is a good thing because you can have a longer life potentially for your children, for your family.

In this lesson, I'm going to give you guys 5 Top Tips, and why you should implement each of these and how this can help you in a big way.

Not just to reduce the stress and the chaos in your own body or head or whatever you want to call it, but potentially to help you actually live longer for your children.

I am Joy Nicholson, a mom, wife, podcaster, digital marker, funnel builder & coach! It sounds like a lot right? Well, actually not so much anymore because I learned to streamline processes and implemented hacks in my life that I teach on my podcast to help you control the chaos, get more time in your day and stress less.

All Entrepreneurs know that the entrepreneurial journey is not easy! You have to Sacrifice sleep, meals, and "me" time. There is real struggles with balancing family and your business, and mostly we don't look after ourselves at all (big mistake)!

A few years ago, I worked 60- 70 hours a week in my business, all while juggling two kids under 5 and basically doing all housework, everything kids related, cooking, studying and being a new entrepreneur. Does this sound familiar? If this sounds like you, you know the exhaustion, the frustration, the fights in the house, and the feeling of failure.

The feeling that you will never get it right, and that this is not for you. You want to give up, and stop trying, thinking it will be just so much easier to find a job and work for someone else. It is not easy BUT please don't give up! I have found the secrets to create a successful online business successful...
