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!

Welcome back to another episode of the No More Excuses podcast
In these podcasts, I tell it like it is, give you tips, share stories and get you motivated to grow both personally and professionally and run your business like a BADASS!
In my last podcast I shared my story of how I failed to create a PLAN to achieve my goals. How I had my big A-ha moment and how I turned my WISHES into GOALS and got “From There to Here” … which happens to be the title of my first book!
And today, I want to share what I realized during my A-ha moment. I realized FEAR was what was holding me back!
FEAR!
Yes, me! The BADASS Business Coach™ was full of fear! In my book I share quite a few stories how fear had FUCKED me.
During my "why me" phase, I asked myself, “Where did all this fear come from and how did I allow it to get its nails so deep into me? And why am I blaming others for my lack of achieving my goals?
And that’s the point of my first book… and the podcasts: to share where I was and how I worked through my own personal shit show and got my shit together! It was time to set the fears aside. I had a great realization of who I have been and then it was time to decide who I wanted to become.
The BADASS Business Coach™!
