Podcast #1 [Reposted from 2016]: Time to Spring Clean!
No More Excuses: Monday Motivation podcast
HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION! Welcome back to the No More Excuses Podcast. Today I am reposting my VERY 1st PODCAST! I recorded this on March 21, 2016! And, it's STILL RELEVANT! I would say over the years I have gone through many adjustments in my podcast, including being more DIRECT, edgier, the occasional cuss words, but the reason I'm still here is because of YOU! Every time I've thought about stopping, someone emails me and says how much something I said resonated with them, helped them in some way, etc. etc. So... despite some pauses here and there, I'M STILL HERE! Listen in and share IF and...

Podcast #425: You Don't Have to Be a Bitch to be a BADASS!
No More Excuses: Monday Motivation podcast
HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION! Welcome back to another episode of "No More Excuses"! In this episode, I break down the myth that being a BADASS means being cold, rude, or harsh. True power comes from confidence, setting boundaries, and showing up with strength and respect. I’ll walk you through the key differences between being a badass and just being a jerk, plus how to communicate with authority, handle criticism like a pro, and own your success without apology. Bottom line? You don’t need to tear others down to rise. You can be kind, bold, and unstoppable—all at the same time. Tune in,...

Podcast #424: Perfection is Bullshit! Get Moving!
No More Excuses: Monday Motivation podcast
HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION! Welcome back to another episode of "No More Excuses!" In this episode, I take a sledgehammer to perfectionism — the sneaky excuse that keeps you stuck. Perfection is Screwing You Over! You’re not waiting for the “right time,” you’re just scared. Success doesn’t come from waiting—it comes from DOING. The winners in business and life aren’t waiting for perfection. They take messy action, learn, and keep going. Listen in as I share that I am a "Recovering Perfectionist" and what I was challenged to do as my first homework assignment as a coach!...

info_outlineHappy MONDAY MOTIVATION! Welcome back and thank you for listening to the weekly podcast NO MORE EXCUSES!
WOW! It's been a whirlwind of a month with the weather and for many people I have spoken with, including me! Mostly in a good way for business, but it has been crazy watching the Weather Channel, surfing Facebook and texting friends in all areas, including LA to check on them.
With all of the crazy weather, and my client who got VERY busy, very FAST, it made me start thinking about being PREPARED. Was Houston prepared? Can you prepare for a wildfire? Florida seemed prepared. It actually seemed like waiting for that giraffe to be born waiting on Irma to hit. LOL! So, HOW are you, or ARE you prepared in business?
I don't always mean preparing for the worst. But Benjamin Franklin did say, "By Failing to Prepare, you are Preparing to Fail!" And yep, it wasn't raining when Noah Built the Ark. So, why wait for something to happen (Or as I like to say), "for shit to go sideways", for you to get your ducks in a row?
Listen into this week's podcast for more on what happens when you aren't prepared! Whether that's getting your processes in order, yes, doing an initial business plan, creating your marketing, or even having financial reserves, being prepared can and will help whether things go wrong OR too right, too fast! So, perhaps instead of repairing, you'll be PREpared!
If you missed last week's podcast listen in first, then come back and see how you have to contribute to achieve, and how being prepared can help you do even more of both!
This week, tell me:
- Where are you listening to this? (City/State/Country)
- A time when you WISH you had prepared - and what happened.
- And don't forget to SHARE THIS PODCAST!!!!
If you can't figure out HOW to prepare, contact me to set up a FREE 30-min Coaching call and let's get you some quick ways to do so!
Have a great week and if you are IN the areas that have suffered with this weather, I hope you are doing ok and were properly prepared! If so, tell us how!
Cheers!
Sandi
