E203. REPLAY : First Comes Ridicule
You will be celebrated when you become successful.
But not one. Second. Before.
People will not support you when you do something that does not fit into their image of you or the role, they believe you should be playing. You will be criticized, met with concern, and ridiculed.
The people closest to us will be the first ones to say it’s impossible. These words stop your progression and are hurting. Remember that no matter how good or noble your idea is, it won’t lack ridicule at some level. I did things out of the norm and they were often met with ridicule.
Your goal should be to focus on your purpose and press on without other people’s approval. Many successful people I’ve talked to say they didn’t share their ideas because there were chances of being ridiculed.
Your ridicule now will be where you draw strength tomorrow when you face a similar problem. Join me in this episode as we talk about success and ridicule!

That episode hit a nerve as many listeners and clients reached out with questions after discovering that they were struggling in this essential area! Many were surprised not only that they HAD a board, but that they had not staffed them well.
Many times, the staffing of our boards is due to our own insecurities, not trusting our own judgement or wanting to win the approval of others. We can hear the same message or voice over and over in our minds until it simply becomes background noise that we no longer question nor are we consciously aware of.
We can change this-- if we are willing to examine it.

E69. First Comes Ridicule; When They Don’t See Your Vision
You will be celebrated when you become successful.
But not one. Second. Before.
People will not support you when you do something that does not fit into their image of you or the role, they believe you should be playing. You will be criticized, met with concern, and ridiculed.
The people closest to us will be the first ones to say it’s impossible. These words stop your progression and are hurting. Remember that no matter how good or noble your idea is, it won’t lack ridicule at some level. I did things out of the norm and they were often met with ridicule.
Your goal should be to focus on your purpose and press on without other people’s approval. Many successful people I’ve talked to say they didn’t share their ideas because there were chances of being ridiculed.
Your ridicule now will be where you draw strength tomorrow when you face a similar problem. Join me in this episode as we talk about success and ridicule!

E67. 3 Steps to Stop Giving Power to an Old Hurt
“Why am I still retelling this old story of how that person wronged me?”
When we retell an old story, an old pain, we give energy to it and form a stronger connection to it. Retelling that story makes it more important, more significant. Don’t let that story or person get Air Time. Like a fire that needs oxygen to burn, stop giving it oxygen. To become the best version of you, you must move past the problems, current or past.
Vow to stop retelling that story over the potato salad at the BBQ. Be in solution mode. 80% of your time goes to the solution (if there is one) and 20% to the problem. Your old business partner that took more than his fair share in that deal? The job you didn’t get? Do something about it, or stop thinking about it. Stop telling that damn story at BBQs! Don’t let it occupy your valuable mental real estate! Teaching yourself where to put your focus and energy will pay you massive dividends.

E66. Pivot Point: We Are In An Inflection Point
Sometimes in life we come to a major crossroads. And sometimes you can blow right through that crossroads and not even know it's there...until it's in your rear view mirror.
So today we ask - is right now one of those times for you?
In this episode we talk about inflection points or what we refer to as pivot points—those moments where you have an opportunity to choose differently and alter course. Many times we’re forced into this moment through radical change or tragedy...
April shares her own story as well as one of her clients, who went through a really dark time but emerged from the fog and was able to start his own business; something he might not have achieved without seeing and seizing that moment.
At the end of this podcast, April encourages everyone to reflect on our past inflection points and the decisions we made in those times; how understanding your past decisions will give you power and purpose in the next one.

E64. How to Transition to New Situations and Show up as Your Best
Be mindful of transitional moments and choose to show up as your best. Not perfect, perfect is a fallacy. But just reaching for something—more. We have to switch gears very quickly between the roles we play in life. We are switching many many times in a day. Be aware of those transitional moments, and be intentional about how we close out one role and show up to our next. It could be switching between a conversation with a peer about a project, and then switching into a leadership role with a client to navigate a difficult problem.
Those two roles, the two environments, demand a different version of us. The first one with your peer—your intention or goal may be Collaboration or Problem-Solving. But with your client, it might Leadership or Confidence to move them ahead. Another example that is SO RELEVANT in today’s environment is – working parents vacillating between work-mode and parent-mode.

E63. When You Outgrow Your System - Destroy It!
What system do you have, that you need to creatively destroy? When considering scaling, growth, and reaching the proverbial next level- we must first make sure we aren’t tying ourselves every day to an anchor.
Review what system you’ve built, that no longer serve you. What practices do you have, that no longer serve you? If you are running a business, you should not run a $2M business the same way you run a $200K business.
But it's easy to try. And then our time and energy are wasted on making our old system work when we really needed to just burn it to the ground. If you’ve had the same customers for three years, offer the same product mix, and charge the same amount—you or your customers are on the verge of outgrowing each other.
Evaluate what system you have that is holding you back. Is it driving 90 minutes to have a friend work on your car, instead of paying retail just to save a buck? Are you being “cheap with your time”? There are truth, beauty, and growth in dest…

Big week for the PivotMe Team and my company Maven! This is the week that we launched MultiplyMe, the digital course showing you how to get more done, in less time. Today we give 5 tips from the course so you can be more productive TODAY.
1. Manage Distraction - don’t look at everything that’s on your list. If you look at all the things, it will become overwhelming. Look at one thing at a time. Put your phone/inbox on Airplane mode while completing a critical task.
2. Time Block. Time Block your activities by picking one thing you will focus on at a time. You allocate a chunk of time, in advance, that you are going to handle a task. At 2pm read this report. At 10am schedule the dentist appointment. If you do not have a specific time you are “scheduled” to do something, you are less likely and less effective at getting it done
3. Set A Timer. A modification of the Pomodoro technique, set a timer and race against the clock to get your one thing done.

E60. Newest Person in the Room, still can add most value
You might be the newest person in the room, but it doesn’t mean you are the least valuable. If you are the newest business, employee, coach—that doesn’t mean that you have the least value to add. It doesn’t mean your services or product are bottom dollar.
You must charge based on the value you bring, and what the marketplace will pay.
If you are an excellent communicator, disciplined, motivating, etc. then you are more effective at whatever your given craft is—and should be compensated.
Thinking about stepping up and stepping out?
People aren’t going to like it, and “life-ers” may doubt your pricing and your worthiness.
Don’t waste a minute on them. They chose their path. Now you chose yours.

E30. Hollywood Set Design to make you a Star (Part 2)
Last time we talked about using Hollywood Set Design to set your leading character (you) up for success. We designed the set and with your clipboard in hand and headset on, you created a great environment for the Star of the show to shine (also you!)
In this episode we take it a step further, as you step in front of the camera, and into your leading role. Aaand...action!
You have a film crew following you. They were filming when you woke up, and they hop in the car as you drive to the office or take your kids to school. What would they have seen? If they were there this morning when you worked out—did you put on a good show? Did you give it your all? If they filmed the way you spoke to your kids, your partner-- would you be proud of what they put on screen? Did you show up as the leading character you want to be?
To expand on this idea, we discuss the #Resource The Road Less Stupid by Keith Cunningham. He introduces the concept of you being the CEO of YOU Inc. And being CEO, you a…

You are watching an opening scene in a movie. You see a messy apartment, a bottle of vodka tipped over, a pizza box laying on the floor, a bedside alarm clock that 11am. At this point, no words have been spoken—the movie hasn’t “said” a word, but they’ve already told you everything you need to know. You have assumed many things about the character. They drink too much, they sleep in, they are unstructured, they are undisciplined, maybe even more than that- they are a mess. That is the story we tell ourselves about the character, that we have yet to meet. You are experiencing set design. Believ…

E28. 5 Steps to handle Hard Things
We all must navigate Hard Things. If we try to avoid them, they become Frogs. Let’s discuss some easy steps to handle them well and be the coachman of your brain!
You think an average of 2,000-3,000 thoughts per hour. Many of those thoughts are around things you can’t control. Stuff that’s already happened. Fears you haven’t addressed, that likely won’t come true.
Imagine if we used those thoughts to visualize the things we can change? If we focused on what we want, instead of what we fear?
Steps to Handle Hard Things:
1. Practice Strategic visualization
2. Write to your Badass list
3. Have a mantra
4. Manage your State before walking into it
5. Break it into manageable chunks.

You are worth more money to your partners, to your employees, bosses, to everyone because you invest in yourself. You add more value.
You are better this month, because of the investment you made last month. Your value went up! And the value you bring to the marketplace, plus confidence directly affects the amount of money you should command.
And I don’t care what you charged last month. Stop using the old you as a benchmark! Stop using your old skillset, your old value, hell—your old confidence, as a benchmark of what you should get paid.

E3 stands for three “E”s: Educate, Elevate and Execute. These three concepts are the foundation of PivotMe. You have to educate yourself and then go out and educate others. You need to elevate your own expectations and then lift others up. Finally, you must execute, execute, execute—that’s the key to success.

Even though horses can’t speak (Mr. Ed excluded, of course), they can offer many valuable insights into self-awareness, collaboration, and leadership.
In this episode, April shares her experience of visiting EQ Insight http://equusinsight.com/ This Northern Nevada based organization uses horse-led training to build authentic and effective leaders and team members, so they can make a positive impact on their businesses, communities, and families.
While learning to lead a horse, April also learns about her own leadership style and starts asking some critical questions about how this experience could apply more broadly.

EPS 20: Goal Setting In A 12 Week Year
In this episode, you will learn:
* Why 12 weeks is a better time frame to achieve your goals than 12 months
* How you can leverage urgency and your “whys” to get to the next level
* Tools that can help you, such as S.M.A.R.T goals and visualization
If you want to achieve your dreams, 12 months is too long to do that. Instead, 12 weeks is the perfect amount of time to go after your goals and get them done.
Top performers recognize that working in shorter periods of time brings greater urgency and focus. Periodization, a technique that isolates achieving one skill or goal in less time, works in business and in life.
What if we viewed our business and our personal lives in quarters, 12-week periods, instead of 12 months? If we break things down into quarters, we can achieve as much in 12 weeks as many achieve 12 months. Having a narrow focus, an urgent time period and consistent execution will get you extraordinary results.

Stories have to shape our world—especially the stories we tell ourselves.
We tell ourselves stories all the time, often about who we are, what we’ve experienced and what we can or cannot do. If we tell ourselves a story enough time, we’ll start to believe it. Words have power. And, the most powerful words are the ones we tell ourselves.
We aren’t usually aware of our stories, or the problems they can cause us. That’s where the real damage can occur. Life is far less about the event that occurs, and more about the story we tell ourselves about the event.

* How to identify your “frogs” — the things you must do but don’t want to do
* Tips to get over procrastination and avoidance and eat the frog already
Mark Twain once said: "If it's your job to eat a frog, the best thing to do is eat it first thing in the morning. And if your job is to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first. Eating the frog means to just do it. Otherwise, the frog will eat you."
So, what is the frog? The frog is an important thing you have to do that you've been putting off. It may be a big, ugly task or conversation that's taking up mental real estate. Other times it's a few things that sit on our to-do list day after day. Sometimes the frog may not even make it to your to-do list because you don’t want to see it! No matter what, that “frog” is always in the back of our mind.

That episode hit a nerve as many listeners and clients reached out with questions after discovering that they were struggling in this essential area! Many were surprised not only that they HAD a board, but that they had not staffed them well.
Many times, the staffing of our boards is due to our own insecurities, not trusting our own judgement or wanting to win the approval of others.

* The importance of building others up on a regular basis and how to do it effectively
* How to boost morale, increase productivity and job satisfaction of your staff with this simple, yet effective, habit

This can be either personal or professional but, hopefully, you are receiving it from both arenas and it looks like: screenshots of emails, texts, tags, notes…anything that builds you up and reminds you of a strength that you possess or a job well done.
The purpose of this folder is to be a treasure chest of reminders of your AWESOMENESS! Evidence of what we have done wrong and what didn’t work is always available, right? This goodie bag of complime…

E10. Your Personal Board of Directors
EPS 10: Your Personal Board of Directors
In this episode, you will learn how to:
* Identify who is on YOUR Personal Board of Directors and how they got a seat
* Choose the RIGHT people to support and advise you
* Vote the WRONG people off your Board
When making a major decision in your life, who do you go to for advice? Who is the voice in your head?
Your supportive partner? A wise mentor? Somebody who has your best interest at heart and cheers you on?
Or, is it a hyper-critical parent? Is the voice in your head that ex-boss or partner who excelled in exposing your weaknesses or failures?
Let’s dig into YOUR Personal Board of Directors…You have one! We ALL do!
Even if you don’t realize it, they are there in the background of your life. Some we have chosen purposely for the advice and experience that they add, but some have snuck through a cracked door, even have a seat at the table even though it does not benefit us or our goals.
The quality of our lives is influenc…

EPS 9: Choose Your People: 4 Tips to Staffing the Right Team

Why is it so important to hire the right people for your business?
A whole truck-load of reasons!

Research shows that not only are you out the time spent on this staff member but a mis-hire can cost up to 3 times their monthly salary for a small company and 15 times their salary in a large company. OUCH! If you are a new small business the stats already show that 80% fail in the first 5 years, staffing definitely plays a part in the success or failure. Plus hiring the wrong staff is a morale killer for the hard workers on your team and…

Word of Intention for Your 12 Week Year
In This Episode, You Will Learn:
• The power of choosing and implementing your Word of Intention
• The importance of breaking your life into 12 week periods, instead of years.
Energy! Connection! Joy! Growth! Fearless! Strength!
These are just a few examples of words that can be used to inspire, motivate and push you to be the best version of yourself. Having a word to intentionally focus on is a valuable tool to bring about change and to help you remember who you want to be and what you are striving to accomplish.
It is important, when choosing your word, as with any goal, to decide on a deadline or “season” that you want to see this word come to life in order to maintain your motivation. This may be a time period that you determine or one that is determined for you.

I am going to say a word…
MONEY!
What is the first thing that popped into your head when you heard that?
Some will hear the word ‘Money’ and will immediately think: Generosity. Resource. Freedom. Security. Provision. Opportunity.
Others may hear that word and have their thoughts go to: Greed. Filth. Pain. Corruption. Shame. Lack. Destruction.
Today, we will ask a very important question: How do YOU feel about money?
Really.
Is it only for other people to have? Is it something you desire to have but feel guilty for wanting? Or, is money something you are excited about having?
We all have some form of baggage around finances. This has come to us through a variety of ways but most often it is inherited from…

Time management.
I have an unusual obsession with this topic. I read books on it for fun and I am constantly learning new ways to be more efficient with the one thing that we are never guaranteed…time.
My dear friend and author, Tammy Ingraham, always reminds me, “Time is Life’s money, be careful where you spend it.”
We wake up feeling energized, ready to tackle the day and before we know it, it is time to get ready for bed. Where did the day go? And more importantly, did we accomplish the things that we set out to do? Many times, the answer is no. We know we were busy all day BUT…sound familiar
