Decision Masters

"I don't want to make a selfish decision" is something I hear a lot.

"Here's exactly what I mean by that..." is not!

This is why it's so easy to default to decisions you don't really want to make.

If you're afraid a choice might be selfish — but you don't have a clear definition of "selfish" — of course the safest option is to avoid that choice, and thereby avoid the possibility of being selfish!

In this epi...

This question will make you more productive, efficient and self-directed.

When used correctly!

Whether you're taking on a big scary goal or trying to lessen the chaos of your day — this question will help you shortcut to powerful action.

How can I make this easier?

If that feels too obvious, wait! Because there's a strategic way to answer it, and you'll be amazed at what you find:

So you've made a plan.

You've separated your Decision Time from your Doing Time, to save yourself some precious energy. (See Episode #96!)

But now the moment has arrived and all your brain minions are yelling I don't wanna!

What do you do?

Today's episode breaks down FOUR killer tactics to deal with resistance in follow-through.

We cover:

• How to establish a new set of Life Rules that doesn't require "all or nothi...

Sometimes, you need to think on your feet then act fast.

It's not impossible — plus, you're really good at it! — but it does take a ton of mental energy.

Today we're looking at the depleting habit of combining "decision time" with "doing time" as your norm.

If you find your days FULL of choices about what to do next, how to do it, how long to spend on it...and those choices all feel like pretty heavy li...

If you've ever gotten stuck or overwhelmed making a decision, you likely have experience with Low-Quality Questions.

It can seem like your brain hurls these at you, almost as an attack.

The problem is: These questions are often unanswerable. 

(How can you tell, for example, "What's going to happen?" - "Would I be happier doing X or Y?" - "Is this the best thing to do for my career / business / family?")

And when you f...

Do you have clear, specific goals? Are they written down? Do you talk about them with anyone regularly – check in on your progress and plans for pursuing them?

Does it surprise you that most people's answers to all of these questions are NO?

In this episode, I'm breaking down "goals" in a way you might not have heard before.

Because I don't just want you to achieve what you want in life.

I want you to know WHY you want tho...

If you're an overthinker, people-pleaser, indecisive or anxious...guess what. Fear is getting in the way of a lot of your decisions. Don't worry, I'm here to help!

How to make a clear, confident decision when you're confused? 

Well, that might not be the most useful question to ask here...Lemme try a rephrase.

 How do you solve the problem of confusion?

(Insert thinky emoji here)

Feeling stuck in confusion is such a normal, human, no-need-to-judge situation. 

But there's an easier solution than a) waiting for the answer ...

The decision is DONE, hooray!...But wait.

You're not doing the thing you decided to do. (Ruh-roh.)

Whether it's sending a simple email or putting a large deposit down, implementing a choice can be the toughest part of this whole "deciding" process.

Today we break down 3 specific issues that can contribute to this (super common) stall-out scenario, and how to get yourself into action.

Your inner dialogue is like a radio station that's always running.

There are times you're super tuned into it and listening closely to your self-talk (usually when you're feeling really good or really bad about yourself!)

But even when these messages aren't coming through loud 'n clear...the station's still broadcasting.

Today I'm asking you to tune in on purpose, and find out ...

What Kool-Aid are decisive people drinking, and where can we get some?

Look no further my friend.

Today we reveal the "secrets" that give decisive people their superpower.

Spoiler alert, they ain't hard, surprising or even out of your wheel house!

Let's dig into these 5 things you're already doing (yes, you!) that make it easy to make firm, confident decisions in certain areas of life.

Today we're diving into what you can DO differently in order to experience different results.

Specifically: The results of not feeling *behind* all the time.

If you want to be on top of things, prioritize on purpose, and feel good about how you use your time - this is the episode for you!

In Part 1 (Ep 85), we explored how you can THINK differently (so make sure to catch that, since half our problems can usually be so...

GREAT. You're on board with the decision to stop living your life "feeling behind." 

Let's do it.

This episode is a two-parter because calendars can feel chaotic enough — We need a simple framework to de-behind-ify them.

So we're going to look at your schedule thusly:

To change your results — in our case, not feeling behind anymore) — you can either change what you're thinking, change what you're doing,...

There are two main reasons I want you to consider unsubscribing from the "I'm Behind" mindset:

#1: What it does to your self-concept.

#2: How it distracts you from real problems worth solving!

Here's what we're covering in the first of this series on never living in this "I'm behind" story again:

• How your Mindset Atmosphere works (what letting one belief in can do to the entire system)
• Why this is a decision you need ...

As the chapter of 2023 comes to a close, you may feel compelled to reflect on the year — but if you're like me, you may also be too tired and forward-focused for a big "reflect sesh" to sound fun right now.

So as to not miss out on any valuable lessons, but also to make reflection doable enough to, erm, DO...I'm offering a simple but powerful practice to look back and make a game plan for what's ahead.

Ever wondered what it's like to have a Coaching conversation? 

What do we talk about? How's it look to talk through an issue or goal? 

This is the episode for you!

We talk a lot about the benefits of coaching (clearer head, easier decisions, less angst, yes please!) — but I haven't shared a behind-the-scenes look like this before. 

In this episode, I walk you through examples of coaching convos, to pain...

I like to think of goals as mountains we wanna climb.

An obstacle "at the trail head" for a lot of people is this big misunderstanding.

That you need a perfect routine and/or to go 110% HAM in order to achieve a goal.

If you've been frustrated at your lack of progress on a goal (or starting, period) - but you also can't (or don't want to!) get into systematized daily routine, or take a week off to laser-focu...
