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...

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,...

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!...

Welcome back to another episode of "No More Excuses!"
Today, we're diving deep into the world of risks and the incredible rewards that come with stepping out of your comfort zone.
Let's talk about taking chances. It's easy to stay within the safety net of what we know – as I like to call it, “Your comfy slippers, favorite jeans & t-shirt world”, but growth and success often lie just beyond that boundary.
So, how can you overcome the fear of the unknown and start taking those leaps of faith?
Listen in today as I share a few stories; one from a client and one listener and some of mine... even one that cost me $$$$!
It's not easy to take those risks - even if you can calculate the results or have help! There's really no other way than do what Nike® says to do and JUST DO IT!
Fear can keep you from doing the simplest tasks like hitting SEND on an email that can help build your brand and share your expertise with clients and prospects. And keeps many people from living the life of their dreams.
Yes, it does help to have proven results or a guarantee of some sort. How will you ever know if you don't take the chance?
What chances have you taken? What REWARD did you receive?
