I'm so excited to drop episode number TWO of my podcast – let me tell you, it's been a journey to get this baby up and running!
If you listened to the first episode, you heard me talk about the internal resistance I felt when I first started working on this project. You know the resistance I'm talking about – the urge to procrastinate instead of taking the first steps on a big, new, scary idea. The little voice telling you that your idea is too late, or too niche, or unneeded. In episode one, I discussed how to talk back to those voices and neutralize those negative messages.
In this episode, I am going to give you some of my go-to strategies for pushing forward through that resistance, from clear goal-setting to the perfect planning cycle. I use each and every one of these strategies for every new project I work on – they've saved me from countless hours of distracting myself with Netflix or Hulu or just plain giving up on great ideas.
I'm also going to drop some science that explains exactly how much time you can actually save by having a solid plan in place – you can't argue with the research!
And THEN I’m going to give you some action items to help take you from procrastinater to expert planner!
By the time you're finished listening to the episode, I want you to be full of ideas and inspiration for your next 90 days!
