  • 403 - Podcast #219: What's Changed This Year?

    HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION!

    Welcome back to another episode of the No More Excuses podcast.

    This is the podcast that gets you fired up and ready to take charge of your business, your confidence, and your success! I’m Sandi, the BADASS Business Coach™, your host!

    We’re at the end of October, yes still the 4th quarter, but we’re deep into the month and before you know it, the holidays will be up our asses! Your business may thrive on the holidays or maybe it’s the opposite and slows down.  

    Regardless, it’s the 4th quarter and there’s still is shit to do!

    For those ramping up for the holidays, how will you manage the chaos?

    For those slowing down, how will you clean up from the year and strategize for next?

    The big question I have for you today is, "What’s changed in your business – or life this year?"

    Change can affect us personally and our businesses in so many ways. And it obviously depends on what the change is!

     4th Q is time to go “all-in” no matter what.

    Time to review three things: 

      YES what progress have you made on your yearly goals? What 90-day goal did you make? Any progress? And, what’s changed this year? How has that affected your progress?

     Listen in as I share stories of what's changed for my clients and what's helping them as one ramps up and one slows down. We ALL need to take the time to review the year and make any necessary changes to be ready for the new year.

    I’d love to hear from you:

     What business you are in, and are you ramping UP or slowing DOWN?  What changes have you gone through this year and how has it affected you and your business?

    Thank you for listening and investing in you and your business and for sharing this podcast with others!

    Until next time,

    Stay BADASS Cheers!

  • 402 - Podcast #418: Welcome to the 4th Quarter!

    HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION!

    Welcome to another episode of "No More Excuses"!

    It’s the 4th quarter, people! We’re in the final stretch of the year. You know what that means—it’s make-or-break time. No more excuses, no more waiting for the "perfect moment." If you’re in business, now is the time to pull it all together and finish the year strong.

    In today’s episode, I dive into why the 4th quarter is so crucial for your business, how you can create momentum if you’ve been slacking a bit, and what strategies you need to focus on to crush your goals by year-end.

    The 4th Quarter is CRUCIAL!!

    Here’s the thing—how you approach the 4th quarter says a lot about how seriously you take your business. Think about it: the last three months of the year can often make or break your annual performance. Why? Because it’s the time where people are starting to evaluate where they stand, reflect on what they’ve achieved, and what they didn’t.

    The holiday season is coming up, which means increased consumer spending, more networking events, and greater opportunities to make those important connections that could push your business forward.

    If you’re feeling like you didn’t quite hit the mark in the first three quarters, don’t worry—this is your time for a comeback. You can still hit those yearly goals if you get laser-focused NOW. But if you’re just coasting and hoping things will magically come together, well... you’re in for a rude awakening.

    It's time to:

      REVIEW your goals RESET your focus FIND an accountability partner

    Yes, you'll have to listen in for more tips and examples!!

    Then share, what is YOUR 90-Day GOAL?

    Stay Badass! Cheers! Sandi

  • 401 - Podcast #417: What Quadrant Do Your Tasks Fall In?

    HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION!

    Here's another episode of No More Excuses!

    The last few episodes I’ve discussed "Mastering Workflow Management"

    With topics such as finding and implementing a good CRM system, workflow management, identifying key processes and learning how to map out your flow!

    Another way to “Master Workflow Management” is to Prioritize!

    In today's episode I talk about using the Eisenhower Matrix to prioritize tasks based on urgency and importance. It splits your tasks up into quadrants.

    Quadrant 1: Urgent and Important (Do) 

    Quadrant 2: Important and Less Urgent (Schedule) 

    Quadrant 3: Urgent and Less Important (Delegate)

    Quadrant 4: Less Urgent and Less Important (Eliminate)

    Then I go on a rant about delegating! LOL!

    As a growing business owner, some times the tasks that you love to do, have just become a waste of time for you to do and that can be hard to let go of!

    Delegating is a game of TRUST & TRAINING! 

    Listen in and then share how you prioritize, perhaps you've used this "quadrant" method and what you've learned to delegate and why!

    Until next time... STAY BADASS!

    Cheers! Sandi

  • 400 - Podcast #416: What Does It Look Like?

    HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION

    Welcome back to another episode of the No More Excuses Podcast.

    In my last episode (#415), I had Soof Hirschmann on to talk about how a solid CRM is your secret weapon for growth and efficiency. But today, we’re going even deeper—into the heart of your business:

    Workflow Management.

    You might be thinking, "Workflow management? Sounds boring." Well, guess what? It’s the secret sauce to running a smooth, efficient, and scalable operation. We’re talking about slashing wasted time, cutting the crap, and making your processes lean and mean!

    Step 1: Identify Key Processes 

    First things first, you’ve got to know what’s going on behind the scenes in your business. What are the core processes that keep your engine running?

    Your To-DO: Write down every major process you handle—whether it’s sales, marketing, customer service, or inventory management. 

    I would suggest using those giant Post-It® notes! 

    Listen in as I give you more tips and examples to help you see what your workflow even includes and then... 

    Step 2: Map It Out 

    Visualize your process. Don’t just leave it in your head. Any client I've done a strategy session with says the same thing: "Damn that looks different than it did it my head!"

    I just helped a client set up Trello to help her visualize her workflow, as well as manage all of the tasks she has in each "bucket" of revenue generators.

    And then....

    Step 3: Evaluate Efficiency 

    Automation is becoming a game-changer! 

    Free yourself from the drudgery! The shit that is a time-suck! I'm really digging in and finding out how it can help me more. I've used some automation in the past, but I'm learning how it can allow me the time to dig deeper with my clients.

    Think about this: If you don’t want to do it or you can’t delegate it...

    AUTOMATE IT!

    Cheers! Sandi

  • 399 - Podcast #415: Does Your CRM Work For You?

    HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION

    Welcome back to another episode of the "No More Excuses"  podcast.

    Here I empower you to build your business, boost your confidence, and achieve incredible success. 

    Having more hours in the day is not going to happen, so it's crucial to learn how to improve your workflow management. It's all about streamlining your processes to help you work more efficiently and effectively, and by doing so, it can help improve your time management and, in a sense, help you "feel" like you've found those extra hours!

    As a coach, I'll help you identify what processes and procedures are broken or missing and strategize on how to – or who can help you – implement, repair or replace them. 

    Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing tips and strategies to optimize your workflow, but today, I want to introduce my guest – Soof Hirschmann! She's the owner of SoofCRM and is an amazing CRM expert.

    Listen in as Soof will discuss how CRM's [Customer Relationship Management] systems, can help you save time, money and your sanity by having a tracking system to better manage your prospecting, sales, projects and MORE!

    She'll share some of the CRM's she recommends and well, in my direct style, I'll tell you that there's No More Excuses to NOT find a system to help you! And to just contact Soof at Hello@Soofcrm.com to discuss your needs and she can help get you set up with the best system for you.

    The conclusion: You'll find those extra hours, increase productivity and profitability!

    And until next time, Stay BADASS! Cheers! Sandi
