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...

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!...

Welcome to another episode of "No More Excuses".
Today, I want to dive into the whirlwind world of business ownership and how to manage the mania that comes with it.
Running a business is NOT for the faint of heart. It's a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows, twists and turns, and some days it can cause a bigger adrenaline rush than a friggn' skydiving expedition. Sometimes in a good way, and other times, not so much! And amidst the chaos, there's one thing we can't afford to lose sight of:
...Our Sanity!
Listen in today as I talk about how to embrace the madness, accept that there will be ups and downs, victories and setbacks, and find strength in the midst of the storm.
I'll share THREE TIPS to help you as well as share a personal story with my own "A-ha moment" of how people helped me understand that I was NOT managing my own "mania"!
Until next time, stay badass, stay sane HAHA, and remember—there are no excuses when it comes to taking control of your business and your life. Thanks for tuning in.
Cheers!
Sandi
