If you've ever found yourself panicking over a slow sales month and spiraling into self-doubt—this episode is for you. April takes us behind the scenes of a real coaching conversation with a business owner convinced her business was falling apart... only to discover, it was just a predictable cycle.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to stop reacting emotionally to every dip, zoom out to see your patterns, and plan your growth accordingly. Because your business isn’t broken—it might just be winter.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why most small business owners are blind to their own business cycles
• The difference in mindset between a $3M company and a $10M+ company
• How to track patterns to reduce panic and plan more strategically
• What to stop doing when things get slow
• How your emotional state is tied to your P&L (and how to cut that cord)

Golden Quotes:

“Profits up? I’m a genius. Profits down? I should’ve gone to law school.” “You're not screwing up your business. You're just in a cycle. Don't burn the house down.” “Strong marketing makes for easy sales. Weak marketing makes for hard sales.” “Don’t try to fix everything from street view. Step back—look from the satellite view.”

Action Steps:

1. Zoom Out: Review your sales and lead data from the past 2–3 years. Spot trends—your slow seasons, your peaks.
2. Plan With the Cycle: Use slow months for R&D, training, or backend projects. Don’t launch major systems when you're in a sales sprint.
3. Know Your Triggers: Recognize when you start to spiral emotionally. Your business isn't broken—your expectations might just be misaligned.

In this raw and hilarious episode of PivotMe, April shares an intensely personal story—her tattoo horror story. But beneath the ink and regret lies a powerful message about people-pleasing, distraction, and the cost of staying silent in critical moments. From battling through a brutal year to permanently marking her comeback on her body, April takes us through a decision made during emotional exhaustion and what it taught her about boundaries, voice, and recovery.

Key Takeaways:

• 💥 Politeness Can Be Dangerous: When you override your inner voice to be agreeable, especially in pivotal moments, the cost can be higher than you think.
• 🌊 The Season That Tried to Drown Her: April opens up about a year full of personal storms—grief, heartache, and mental health struggles—that left her gasping for air and seeking meaning.
• 💡 Tattoo as a Symbol: Hoping to commemorate resilience, April chose to get a “Still I Rise” tattoo. What followed was anything but empowering.
• ✋ Red Flags and Regret: When the artist changed the design and she didn’t push back, April knew she was ignoring her intuition. Why? Because she didn’t want to seem rude.
• 🎨 Creative Fix: The redemption arc? April launched a design contest on 99Designs to creatively “rescue” the tattoo—with entries from artists across the globe.

Notable Quotes:

“It's hard to believe that the fear of offending can be stronger than the fear of pain, but you know what? It is.” — The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo “I wasn’t drunk—I was just too exhausted to fight for better.” “Politeness may not kill you, but it can leave permanent ink on your back.”

Challenge to Listeners: Where are you silencing your voice just to keep the peace? Is your desire to be agreeable costing you something important—your boundaries, your standards, your truth?

This week:

• Speak up in a moment where you’d normally stay quiet.
• Revisit a decision made during emotional exhaustion—do you need to correct it?
• Stop letting politeness override your instincts. Especially when something’s permanent.

In this powerful episode of PivotMe, April unpacks the concept of "Touching the Dream"—inspired by Ed Mylett—and what it really means to live into your future life now. Sharing stories from her own life, from paddleboarding in Lake Tahoe to watching her kids play on a private beach, April walks us through how visualizing success and brushing up against it in small, tangible ways actually rewires our belief system. You don’t need to wait until you’ve “made it” to feel what your dream life is like—you can live part of it now.

Key Takeaways:

• 🔑 Visualize It Clearly: Describe your dream in full detail—where you are, who’s with you, what it feels like.
• 💡 You Live at the Level You Believe You Belong: We all unconsciously self-regulate to our perceived worth. Change your belief, change your life.
• 🧘‍♀️ Touching the Dream Changes Your Baseline: Whether it's staying near the Ritz, renting the car, or walking through your future neighborhood—exposure creates belief.
• 👨‍👩‍👧 Normalize the Dream for Your Family: Let your kids see abundance as an option, not a fantasy.
• 📖 Journaling and Visualization: April shares a poignant moment journaling on a porch in Tahoe, realizing she was unknowingly living parts of her dream.

Notable Quotes:

“We live at the level we believe we belong.” “The more we touch the dream, the more it becomes our new normal.” “That morning, I realized—I wasn’t just visualizing the dream. I was walking through it.”

Challenge to Listeners: What can you arrange this month to touch the dream? ✨ Rent your dream car. ✨ Walk the neighborhood you want to live in. ✨ Sit in the first-class lounge—even if you’re flying coach. Expose yourself to it. Normalize it. Because you’re closer than you think.

Most people live in the "just enough" zone—asking for the bare minimum they think they can get. But what if the key to extraordinary success lies in making unreasonable asks? In this electrifying episode, April dismantles the fear holding you back from demanding what you truly deserve, sharing jaw-dropping stories of bold requests that changed lives (like Siri Lindley training with Olympians, or Mike securing a $50M loan). You’ll learn why someone half as qualified as you will outearn you today simply because they asked for more, and how to reframe rejection as a stepping stone.

Key Takeaways: 🔥 The Unreasonable Ask Mindset

• Why high performers like Siri Lindley succeed: They ignore "realistic" limits.
• The painful cost of playing small: How under-asking leaves money and respect on the table.

🔥 Floor vs. Ceiling

• Most people articulate their floor ("I’d be happy with just X") but never their ceiling (the "magic wand" scenario).
• Case study: How David 10X’d his income by pitching 12-month contracts instead of month-to-month.

🔥 Self-Limiting Beliefs Exposed

• "I’m not ready to ask __" is often a lie. Examples:

  • Laura: "I’m not fit enough for Bek to train me."
  • Katie: "My questions are too basic for Mike."
  • How these stories reveal self-selection out of opportunities.

🔥 The Big Ask Framework

1. Identify your unreasonable ask (What’s the "wild" request you’re avoiding?).
2. Flip the script: "What if they say YES?" (Spoiler: They often do.).
3. Move the needle: Even a "no" resets expectations upward.

Action Steps: ✔ Today: Write down your "floor" (minimum) and "ceiling" (big ask) for a current opportunity. ✔ This week: Make ONE unreasonable ask (mentorship, partnership, salary, etc.). ✔ Share: Tag @theAprilGarcia with your #UnreasonableAsk—we’ll feature bold stories!

Notable Quotes: * "Someone half as good as you is making an unreasonable ask today—and getting it. Why not you?" * "Your minimum is a trap. The world rewards those who articulate their CEILING." * "Rejection isn’t failure—it’s data. ‘No’ today often becomes ‘Yes’ tomorrow."

Marketing agencies are begging you to run LinkedIn ads. Here's why that might be the worst $5,000 you'll ever spend. April breaks down the exact conversation where she stopped a client from blowing his ad budget—and the 3 foundational fixes he needed first.

Key Takeaways: 💸 The Cold Hard Math – Why LinkedIn ads cost 3-5X more than other platforms for B2B leads 🛑 The Busyness Paradox – If you're already overwhelmed, ads will drown you (not save you) 🪟 Storefront Theory – Why your profile is like a retail window (and Kyle's was empty) 🎯 The Elevator Pitch Fix – "I do [X] for [Y] so they can [Z]" template that converts visitors 📊 Opportunity Cost – What you should spend on before even considering ads

Case Study: Kyle's 4 Profile Flaws:

1. No clear client avatar ("For who?")
2. Generic headline (like "Business Growth Expert")
3. Zero social proof (no recommendations/case studies)
4. Muddled background (no clear transformation offered)

Action Plan: ✔ Audit Your Profile – Would a stranger understand exactly what you do in 8 seconds? ✔ Build Social Proof – Get 3 client recommendations before spending on ads ✔ Track Organic First – Can you convert profile visitors without paid traffic? ✔ Alternative Plays – 3 cheaper lead gen strategies that work first

April's Rule: "Never pay to drive traffic to something you haven't proven converts for free."

Mark Twain famously said, "Eat a live frog first thing in the morning, and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day." In this episode, April Garcia dives into why tackling your hardest task first is the ultimate productivity hack—and how to stop letting procrastination drain your mental energy.

Key Takeaways: ✅ The Frog Theory – Your "frog" is the task you dread most. Avoiding it costs more energy than doing it. ✅ Fear vs. Reality – Most frogs take less than 20 minutes to complete (but feel massive in your mind). ✅ Frogs Multiply – Ignored tasks breed mental clutter and distraction. High performers eat theirs fast. ✅ The 20-Minute Rule – If it feels overwhelming, start with just 20 minutes. Momentum kills resistance.

Action Steps: 🐸 Find Your Frog (15:30) – Identify one task you’ve been avoiding. Write it down. 📸 Accountability Move – Take a "before" pic of your frog (notes, screen, sticky). Tag @theaprilgarcia with #iameatingthatfrog. ⏰ Eat It Now (15:45) – Set a timer for 20 minutes. Start. No overthinking—just action.

Resource Mentioned: 📖 "Eat That Frog!" by Brian Tracy – A guide to overcoming procrastination.

That "pretty good" hire you just made? It could be costing you 3X their salary in hidden losses. April reveals why most businesses accidentally hire for failure, and the exact framework she uses to build teams that 10X company value.

Key Insights: 💸 The True Cost of "Good Enough" - How a single wrong hire can tank morale, productivity, and client relationships simultaneously 🎯 The Alignment Trifecta - Why skills + experience + cultural fit still isn't enough (and what to assess instead) 📊 KPI Trap - Most businesses measure the wrong indicators (here's what to track instead) 🗣️ Feedback Fallacy - Why annual reviews destroy retention and what to do instead 🔥 The Rehire Test - Simple 3-question audit to run on your current team TODAY

Powerful Statement: "Hiring isn't about filling seats - it's about multiplying your organizational DNA. Every new person should make your company more 'you', not less."

Actionable Steps: ✅ Team Audit (Do this now)

1. Would I enthusiastically rehire this person today?
2. Do they amplify our culture or just fit in?
3. Are they growing faster than the role demands?

✅ Hiring Process Fixes

• Replace "years of experience" with "problem-solving style" in job descriptions
• Conduct working interviews (not just talking interviews)
• Implement 30/60/90-day culture checkpoints

Must-Read Resources: • "Good to Great" - The "First Who" principle explained • "The E-Myth Revisited" - Why you're hiring wrong without systems • "Traction" - The accountability framework top teams use

What if the biggest obstacle in your life isn't your circumstances... but the story you keep telling yourself about them? In this eye-opening episode, April reveals how the narratives we unconsciously repeat shape our reality - and how to reclaim authorship of your life.

Key Revelations: 🔥 The Fiction We Live By - How your brain turns random events into "facts" about who you are 🔥 The Replay Damage - Why repeatedly telling a negative story does more harm than the original event 🔥 Secret Story Audit - How to spot the invisible narratives running your life (hint: check your self-talk) 🔥 Editing Your Existence - The neuroscience behind rewriting limiting beliefs 🔥 From Victim to Hero - Transforming "This always happens to me" into "Here's how I overcame"

Powerful Moment: "Your mind is constantly writing a novel about your life. The question is - are you the hero overcoming challenges, or the victim of circumstance? The pen is in your hands."

Actionable Steps: ✍️ Story Identification

• Listen for "I always..." or "I never..." statements
• Notice what you tell friends after setbacks
• Track your automatic negative thoughts for 24 hours

🔄 Story Rewriting

• Create an "evidence log" disproving old stories
• Write your ideal story in third person as if it's already true

"Show me your calendar and bank account, and I'll tell you what's important to you." This brutal truth is about to confront every busy professional, entrepreneur and leader listening today. April takes you through a revealing audit of your last 30 days and next 30 days to expose the gap between what you say matters and where you actually spend your time.

Key Takeaways: ✅ The Calendar-Bank Account Truth Test: Why these two documents don't lie about your real priorities ✅ The Priority Paradox: How we defend "important" things that never make our schedule ✅ Decade-End Reckoning: Why this audit matters more as we close out this decade ✅ The Ownership Audit: Spotting how much of your calendar is hijacked by others' agendas ✅ Scheduled Goals vs. Wishful Thinking: The shocking reality of how many goals actually get time blocks

Powerful Questions:

1. What recurring meetings/events would you NEVER put on a fresh calendar today?
2. Where are the "invisible priorities" you claim matter but never schedule?
3. What percentage of your calendar represents YOUR priorities vs. others'?

Action Steps: ✔ Conduct the 30/30 Audit (review last 30 days/next 30 days) ✔ Color-code entries: Green = aligned with goals, Red = someone else's priority ✔ Cancel/Delegate 3 "Red" items within 48 hours ✔ Schedule 3 "Missing Priority" blocks before year-end

Quote: "Your calendar is your priorities in ink - stop lying to yourself in pencil."

Fair to Others But Not Yourself? Why You Need That +10%

Are you charging what's "fair" but forgetting to be fair to yourself? In this episode, April exposes the dangerous habit of undercharging that's sinking businesses and nonprofits – and why you need to add that critical +10% to protect your legacy.

🔥 Key Takeaways ✅ The Left-Lean Compensation Principle – If you naturally lean toward "fair" pricing (like 100K), you must add +10%) to avoid self-sabotage ✅ Giving Away the Farm – How well-meaning leaders bankrupt their businesses/nonprofits by over-giving ✅ The Legacy Threat – Why undervaluing yourself jeopardizes everything you've built ✅ Reasonable ≠ Right – What's fair to others often isn't fair to YOU ✅ The +10% Mindset – Simple math to protect your mission and sustainability

💡 Quote of the Episode: "Your reasonable price is someone else's bargain – add the +10% that keeps your legacy alive."

🎯 Action Steps: ✔ Audit your last 3 quotes/proposals – did you subtract value unconsciously? ✔ Add the "legacy test" to pricing: "Will this sustain what I'm building?" ✔ Practice the +10% rule on your next bid

Are you measuring your life against your past instead of your future? Do you find yourself saying, “I’ve endured worse, so I can handle this”—even when you know deep down you deserve better?

In this episode of PivotMe, April challenges you to stop using your past as a benchmark and start measuring your life against the future you’re creating. She shares why comparing your current situation to past struggles can hold you back and how to shift your mindset to focus on what’s truly good enough for Future You.

It’s time to stop settling for “better than before” and start striving for what’s truly aligned with the life you’re building. Let’s redefine your measuring stick and set a higher standard for your future.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

✅ Stop Measuring Against Your Past – Just because you’ve endured worse doesn’t mean you should settle for less than what you deserve in the future.

✅ Future-Focused Mindset – Ask yourself, “Will this situation, client, or deal be good enough for the version of me I’m creating 3 years from now?”

✅ Survive vs. Thrive – Using past hardships as a survival story can be empowering, but it shouldn’t set the bar for your future. Thriving requires a higher standard.

✅ Break the Cycle – We often measure everything backward—history, sports, past successes. While this can be useful for context, it can also restrict us from reaching our full potential.

💡 Quote of the Episode: “If you’re going to measure anything, measure it against the life you’re building for Future You.” – April Garcia

🎯 Actionable Steps:

✔ Reframe Your Measuring Stick – The next time you’re faced with a tough decision, ask yourself, “Is this good enough for the version of me I’m creating 3 years from now?” ✔ Identify Your Thrive Story – Write down what thriving looks like for you in the future. What standards will you set for your relationships, career, and personal growth? ✔ Celebrate Growth – Like Tammy, reflect on your journey and acknowledge how far you’ve come, but don’t let past struggles dictate your future.

Thank you for tuning in to this episode of PivotMe! Remember, your past doesn’t define your future. If you’re going to measure anything, measure it against the life you’re building for Future You. If you found this episode helpful, please share it with a friend or leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

In this episode of PivotMe, April shares two simple yet powerful strategies to help you stop answering emails at home. Too often, we blur the lines between work and personal life, keeping ourselves in "work mode" even when we're supposed to be present with our loved ones. These small but effective changes can make a big impact on your work-life balance, helping you reclaim your evenings and improve your relationships.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode: 💡 Why answering emails at home can be harmful – It affects your sleep, stress levels, and relationships. 🚗 Tip #1: Answer emails from your car – Before you even leave work, set a timer and clear your inbox so you don’t carry it home. 📵 Tip #2: Take email notifications off your phone – Make it harder to check emails by removing the app from your home screen. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Be emotionally present at home – Physically being there isn’t enough. Put down the phone and be engaged with your family.

Power Quote: "Do not allow those email notifications to put a lull in your evening activities."

Actionable Takeaway: ➡️ Set a timer before leaving work to check and answer emails so they don’t follow you home. ➡️ Remove email notifications and move the app from your home screen to reduce temptation. ➡️ Use your commute to transition from work mode to home mode.

In this episode of PivotMe, April dives into how you can expand your influence, reach more people, and create lasting change on a larger scale. She shares her own journey of feeling exhausted from one-on-one impact and how she intentionally shifted to a bigger audience to make a greater difference.

It’s time to stop playing small. Let’s amplify your reach and magnify your influence.

🔥 Key Takeaways: ✅ One-on-One Impact Matters—But It’s Not Enough – Helping individuals is important, but if you truly want to leave a legacy, you need to think bigger.

✅ Be Intentional About Your Influence – The impact you create should be by design, not by default. Start thinking beyond individual wins and move toward scalability.

✅ Look for Ways to Expand Your Reach – Teach, mentor, multiply your knowledge. Your experience can ripple out to hundreds, even thousands, when you empower others to do the same.

✅ Your Bucket is Too Small—Get a Bigger One – Stop thinking about impact in tiny increments. You need a bigger bucket to help more people.

✅ Magnify Your Impact by Teaching Others – The fastest way to create massive impact isn’t by doing more—it’s by helping others do it too.

💡 Quote of the Episode: "You’ve got the ability to have a massive impact too—so get a bigger bucket to get your starfish back in!"

🎯 Actionable Steps: ✔ Audit Your Impact – Where are you spending your energy? Are you helping one person at a time when you could be reaching more? ✔ Find a Bigger Platform – Whether it’s speaking, writing, training, or scaling your business, explore ways to increase your reach. ✔ Teach Others How to Impact – Don’t just lead—create leaders. Help others help more people.

In this episode of PivotMe, April Garcia challenges the mindset that being new in an industry, company, or business means you should charge less or offer less value. The truth? Your value is not based on tenure—it’s based on impact.

🔥 You might be the newest person in the room, but that doesn’t mean you’re the least valuable. 🔥

April breaks down why pricing based on experience instead of value is a mistake and how to confidently own your worth—even when others doubt you. Whether you're launching a business, stepping into a leadership role, or raising your prices, this episode is your reminder to stop undervaluing yourself.

🔥 Key Takeaways: ✅ Experience ≠ Value – Just because you’re new doesn’t mean you’re not bringing immense value. Charge based on impact, not on tenure.

✅ Market Value Matters – If people are willing to pay for the results you deliver, your price should reflect that—period.

✅ Leverage ALL Your Skills – Your background, communication skills, leadership abilities, and discipline increase your effectiveness—and your worth.

✅ Ignore the Naysayers – “Life-ers” who chose to stay in the same position will doubt your ambition. Don’t waste energy trying to convince them.

✅ Step Into Confidence – The fastest way to increase your income and credibility is to stop apologizing for charging what you’re worth.

💡 Quote of the Episode: "You might be the newest person in the room, but you might add the MOST value. Price accordingly."

🎯 Actionable Steps: ✔ Assess Your Unique Value – What do you bring to the table that others don’t? Define your strengths and expertise. ✔ Price Based on Value, Not Experience – Research what the market is paying for results like yours and adjust accordingly. ✔ Shut Out the Doubters – If someone questions your pricing or expertise, that’s their limitation, not yours.

In this episode of PivotMe, April gets real about the power of the stories we tell ourselves—and how retelling old hurts is keeping us stuck. Whether it’s a bad business deal, a job you didn’t get, or a personal betrayal, continuously rehashing that pain gives it more power than it deserves.

🔥 It’s time to stop giving that story Air Time. Like a fire that needs oxygen to burn, the more you talk about it, the stronger it becomes. Instead, train yourself to focus on the solution and move forward.

If you’re still telling that same story over potato salad at the BBQ, this episode is your wake-up call.

🔥 Key Takeaways: ✅ The Danger of Retelling Old Stories – When you continuously relive an old hurt, you reinforce its significance and keep yourself stuck in the past.

✅ 80/20 Rule for Problems vs. Solutions – Spend 80% of your time on the solution, only 20% on the problem—if there’s even a solution to be found.

✅ Who’s Getting Air Time? – Ask yourself: Am I giving space in my mind to someone or something that doesn’t deserve it?

✅ Three Steps to Move On: 1️⃣ Identify It – What’s the story you keep retelling? Who is involved? If thinking about it still makes you angry, you’ve found it. 2️⃣ Determine If Action Is Needed – Do you need to make amends? Learn a lesson? If not, it’s time to release it. 3️⃣ Stop Retelling the Story – Whether it’s at the BBQ or in your mind, let it go and focus on what’s ahead.

💡 Quote of the Episode: "Stop giving that old story Air Time. If you can’t change it, stop retelling it. Your future needs your focus, not your past."

🎯 Actionable Steps: ✔ Audit Your Stories – Notice the conversations where you keep revisiting the same old pain. ✔ Shift to Solution Mode – Next time you catch yourself retelling a problem, switch the focus to what you can do about it. ✔ Mentally Unsubscribe – If there’s no solution, stop engaging with that story. Unsubscribe from the mental drama.

In this episode of PivotMe, April dives into a powerful concept that might be holding you back more than you realize—your past limp. Whether it’s a physical limp from an old injury or a mental one from past setbacks, we often adjust our behavior in ways that linger long after the pain is gone. April shares a personal story of how she unconsciously kept limping even after healing and connects this to how we carry past hurts into our present lives.

It’s time to recognize these outdated adjustments, release them, and step forward with confidence.

🔥 Key Takeaways: ✅ April’s Throwback Story – A personal experience of how an old injury caused a limp, and how her brain held onto it even after healing. ✅ The Protection Mechanism – How our minds instinctively try to shield us from pain but sometimes end up holding us back instead. ✅ Recognizing What Holds You Back – Identifying outdated beliefs and behaviors that are limiting your growth and keeping you from opportunities. ✅ The Journey to Rewire – How to rewrite your mental patterns and move forward without unnecessary baggage.

💡 Quote of the Episode: "Holding onto a past limp—physical or emotional—can keep you from reaching your full potential. Recognize it, release it, and move forward without the unnecessary weight."

🎯 Actionable Steps: ✔ Identify your past limp – What’s a habit, belief, or fear you’ve been carrying that no longer serves you? ✔ Challenge the story – Are you avoiding opportunities because of old pain that doesn’t apply anymore? ✔ Rewire your mindset – Start making decisions based on who you are now, not who you were when you got hurt.

In this episode of PivotMe, April sits down with Shane Keegan, a powerhouse entrepreneur who transitioned from a modest upbringing in Ireland to becoming a successful CEO in America. Shane shares how he started setting ambitious goals at the age of 13, inspired by motivational figures like Jim Rohn and Zig Ziglar. By the time he turned 30, he had checked off many of those goals—including becoming a CEO and moving to the U.S.

Throughout the conversation, Shane highlights the importance of consistency, discipline, and self-talk in achieving success. He also shares insights on navigating business relationships, embracing new experiences, and avoiding self-sabotage. A pivotal moment in his journey came after attending a Tony Robbins event, which fueled his passion for giving back—particularly through philanthropic efforts in the Philippines.

This episode is packed with actionable advice on goal-setting, personal growth, mentorship, and generosity—all essential tools for anyone looking to build success and impact others.

Key Takeaways: ✅ The Power of Early Goal Setting: Shane wrote down his life goals at 13 and carried them with him, achieving many by 30.

✅ Consistency Creates Success: From a 5 AM routine to disciplined self-improvement, Shane emphasizes the impact of daily habits.

✅ Career Evolution & Business Strategy: From logistics to business brokerage, Shane’s journey proves that calculated risks can lead to massive success.

✅ Building Meaningful Relationships: Shane advises against transactional business interactions and prioritizes transformative connections.

Powerful Quotes from Shane Keegan: 💬 “Success is built on consistency, not intensity.”

💬 “Your self-talk can either be your greatest asset or your biggest enemy.”

💬 “If you want to achieve big things, start by making small, disciplined choices every day.”

💬 “True wealth isn’t about how much you make—it’s about how much you can give.”

Actionable Steps: ✔ Write down your goals – Just like Shane did at 13, create a list of clear, ambitious goals and track your progress.

✔ Commit to consistency – Start a morning routine or daily habit that moves the needle in your life.

✔ Assess your business relationships – Shift from transactional to transformative connections.

✔ Practice generosity – Pay for a stranger’s coffee, mentor someone, or find a cause to support.

✔ Improve your self-talk – Read What to Say When You Talk to Yourself by Phil Goldstein to strengthen your mindset.

✔ Expand your impact – Look for ways to create a legacy through family, mentorship, or philanthropy.

In this episode of PivotMe, April challenges the common belief that success comes from fixing weaknesses. Instead, she reveals why focusing on strengths is the real game-changer.

We’ve all been told to be “well-rounded,” but that mindset keeps many of us stuck. April breaks down how to identify, believe in, and fully leverage our strengths to create real momentum in life and business.

By the end of this episode, you’ll learn: ✅ Why strengths matter more than weaknesses. ✅ How to identify and own your unique abilities. ✅ How to leverage them for massive impact.

💡 Key Takeaways 🔹 Collect the Data – Most people don’t truly know their strengths. April suggests asking five trusted people—friends, family, business partners—what they see as your greatest strengths. Clarity isn’t arrogance; it’s alignment.

🔹 Believe the Data – Many struggle to accept their strengths. April urges listeners to stop diminishing their abilities with self-doubt. If trusted voices are telling you something, believe them.

🔹 Leverage the Data – Strengths are like tools in a toolbox; they only work if you use them. April shares how a client turned his storytelling ability into a core part of his brand—and saw massive success because of it.

🔹 Success Lies in Your Strengths – True success isn’t about balance; it’s about amplifying what makes you unstoppable. One client leaned into her ability to connect with people—and it transformed her career.

📌 Actionable Steps 1️⃣ Ask five trusted people about your strengths. 2️⃣ Silence the self-doubt and trust their feedback. 3️⃣ Find ways to leverage your strengths in your business, career, or relationships. 4️⃣ Take the StrengthsFinder test for deeper insights. 5️⃣ Use your strengths to help someone else today.

🔥 Powerful Quotes 💬 “Clarity isn’t arrogance—it’s alignment. And alignment is how you create impact.”

💬 “Don’t let your self-doubt yell while your trusted voices whisper. Flip that. You have the power to do that.”

💬 “Success isn’t about closing every gap—it’s about maximizing what you’re already great at.”

This week on PivotMe, April dives into a critical but often overlooked aspect of success: positioning. Success isn’t just about crossing the finish line—it’s about putting yourself in the right environment, building habits, and stacking the deck in your favor. With humor, personal anecdotes, and actionable tips, April explores how small, intentional choices prepare you for big opportunities.

Key Takeaways:

1. Preparation Meets Opportunity:

   • Luck isn’t random; it’s what happens when preparation meets opportunity. Are you setting yourself up for those moments?
   • Positioning matters in every area of life—business, health, relationships.

   • Micro-Decisions Shape Success:

   • Success isn’t a single event but the result of daily habits and choices.

   • Identify small actions—“lead indicators”—that align you with your goals.

   • Stacking the Deck:

   • Put yourself in rooms where opportunities exist. For example, joining groups, attending events, or even having a coffee with someone in your desired field.

   • Avoid blaming bad luck when you haven’t positioned yourself for good luck.

   • Positioning is Proactive:

   • Whether it’s building a better relationship, health goals, or career advancement, it’s about the effort you make before the opportunity arises.

   • Example: A client who wanted to meet a partner but never left the house wasn’t positioning for success, unlike someone who actively joined social activities.

   • Your Role in Luck:

   • Stop overestimating others’ “luck” while underestimating your potential.

   • As Seneca said, "Luck Is What Happens When Preparation Meets Opportunity."

Quotes:

• "Preparation meets opportunity. Are you preparing for success, or just waiting for luck to show up at your doorstep?"
• "Position yourself for success—the overnight kind. Those usually take about 10 years."

How are you positioning yourself for success? Success isn’t just about goals; it’s about the systems, habits, and environments you create. Don’t wait for opportunity to knock—position yourself to hear it when it does.

In this episode of PivotMe, April takes listeners on a transformative journey through her recent experience with energy and shadow work. From a profound realization about self-judgment to actionable strategies for overcoming it, this episode is packed with relatable insights and powerful takeaways. If you’ve ever been hard on your past self for not knowing what you know now, this episode will resonate deeply and leave you with tools to shift your mindset.

Key Takeaways:

1. The Trap of Judging Younger You:

   • The person you are now is judging the person you were, forgetting that they hadn’t yet experienced or learned the lessons you now know.
   • This is a subtle but pervasive form of self-sabotage.

   • Recognizing the Judge:

   • April discovered that her "Judge" wasn’t focused on others but was constantly critiquing her own past performance.

   • Shadow work revealed how this internal judge was robbing her of self-compassion and undermining her achievements.

   • Optimizing Without Criticizing:

   • April’s gift for optimization—a strength in improving processes and outcomes—became counterproductive when turned inward.

   • A key insight: Use the skill to plan for the future, not critique the past.

   • Changing the Narrative:

   • Instead of saying, “I could have handled that better,” try “Next time, I will handle it this way.”

   • This subtle language shift transforms judgment into constructive growth.

   • Actionable Steps:

   • Notice it: Be aware of when your internal Judge is active.

   • Change the language: Replace self-critical phrases with forward-looking ones.

Quotes:

• "The person you are now has learned from the experience, but you’re judging the person who hadn’t had that opportunity yet."
• "Instead of saying, ‘I could have,’ switch it to ‘Next time I will.’"

April’s journey through energy work unveiled a powerful truth: self-compassion isn’t just about being kind to yourself in the present—it’s about honoring the journey that brought you here. By recognizing and quieting the internal Judge, you can turn self-reflection into a tool for growth rather than self-criticism.

As we approach the end of the year, it’s the perfect time to pause, reflect, and prepare for what’s ahead. In this episode of the PivotMe Podcast, April provides listeners with 10 transformative questions designed to help you process the lessons of 2024 and set a clear, intentional path for 2025. These questions go beyond traditional goal-setting—they’re a blueprint for self-awareness, growth, and purposeful action.

Whether you’ve had an amazing year, a challenging one, or a mix of both, these questions are your ticket to making 2025 extraordinary.

   • "What was your biggest win of 2024?" Identifying wins helps anchor you in progress and builds momentum for the new year.

   • Break Bad Habits:

   • Pinpoint one habit you picked up this year that doesn’t serve you and commit to leaving it behind.

   • Forgive Yourself:

   • "What do you need to forgive yourself for in 2024?" Letting go of guilt or regret is key to moving forward with freedom and clarity.

   • Seek Future Wisdom:

   • Focus on the One Thing:

   • Identify the single most important thing to achieve in 2025. Clarity brings focus, and focus brings results.

• “New level, new devil. Each year brings new challenges, but also new tools to overcome them.”
• “Education without execution is distraction.”

Reflection is one of the most powerful tools for growth, and these 10 questions offer a framework for learning from the past and creating a clear vision for the future. By identifying your wins, learning from challenges, and taking intentional action, you can set yourself up for an extraordinary 2025.

In this episode of PivotMe, April breaks down the transformative process of setting and crushing your "rocks"—the big, important goals that define your year. Through real-life examples and actionable strategies, she shares how to make your goals visible, track your progress effectively, and align with behaviors you can control. Don’t wait until New Year’s Eve—start now and set yourself up for extraordinary success.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode 1. What are Rocks?

* Your top four priorities for the year—the big, non-negotiable goals that go into your jar first.

1. 3 Key Strategies for Crushing Your Rocks:

   • Visibility:

     • Keep your goals front and center.

     • Examples: Screen savers, desktop reminders, or even framing them like Kevin did.

       • Scheduling:

     • Plan time for your rocks in advance.

     • Example: A client scheduled four trips to visit her parents a year ahead to stay on track.

       • Tracking:

     • Measure your progress regularly.

     • Tools: Google tasks, habit trackers, or gamified apps to track lead indicators.
     • The Power of Lead Indicators:

   • Focus on actions you control (e.g., working out daily instead of focusing solely on weight loss).

   • This shift helps maintain motivation and ensure success.

Are you avoiding tasks you know you need to do? Whether it’s filing taxes or cleaning your garage, sometimes the hardest part is just starting. In this episode of PivotMe, April dives into a powerful productivity hack called body doubling—a game-changer for people with ADHD and anyone struggling with procrastination. Discover how having someone nearby can help you tackle those frogs faster and why admitting you need support is a strength, not a weakness.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode 1. What are frogs?

* Frogs are the tasks we need to do but dread tackling—often uncomfortable, tedious, or overwhelming.

1. The power of body doubling:

   • This simple yet effective method involves having someone present while you work. Their presence can make a daunting task feel less overwhelming, especially for ADHD individuals.

   • Insights from real stories:

   • Hear about Bethany and Brittani, two clients with ADHD who used body doubling to overcome procrastination and boost productivity.

   • Why this hack works:

   • For people with ADHD, skills aren’t even layers—they’re spikes. Body doubling helps stabilize these spikes and makes even the toughest tasks achievable.

   • Common frogs for ADHD individuals:

   • Tasks like taxes, cleaning spaces, or completing administrative work can become manageable with this hack.

Memorable Quotes: * "Body doubling isn’t about someone holding your feet to the fire—it’s about emotional support. Like holding your hand while crossing a scary bridge." * "Admitting you need help isn’t weakness; it’s the first step toward action."

Actionable Takeaways: * Identify a frog you’ve been avoiding and find a body double to help you tackle it. * Understand that perfection isn’t required; progress is. * Use the “next right step” mindset to avoid feeling overwhelmed by big tasks.

Resources: * Body Doubling Techniques for ADHD

In this episode of PivotMe, April shares a powerful conversation with Tonya, a business owner caught in the whirlwind of “getting everything perfect” before officially launching. April dismantles the common trap of prioritizing logos, websites, and speeches over the one thing that matters most: serving clients. If you’re a business owner who feels stuck in endless preparation, this episode will help you refocus on what truly drives success—delivering value and asking for the business.

Key Points:

1. The “Perfect Setup” Trap:

   • Tonya’s story illustrates how entrepreneurs can get bogged down with non-essential tasks like logo tweaks, website edits, or speech writing.
   • These activities often serve as a distraction from the real goal—gaining and serving clients.

   • Getting Back to Basics:

   • Business only thrives when you’re actively doing business.

   • Focusing on branding, marketing, or operational details is important, but not at the expense of serving clients and fulfilling your core mission.

   • Understanding the Goal Behind the Goal:

   • Why do we build logos, websites, and speeches? To attract clients.

   • April challenges listeners to stop overcomplicating this process and focus instead on the direct path: connecting with potential clients and asking for their business.

   • Ego and Confidence in the Way:

   • Entrepreneurs often seek perfection in branding to feel “ready,” but this can be a mask for fear or a lack of confidence.

   • April shares the story of a coach running a $400K business without a website or social media presence, proving that perfection isn’t a prerequisite for success.

Building a business isn’t about how polished your branding is—it’s about delivering value to your clients. April encourages listeners to strip away the distractions, focus on their core offering, and prioritize asking for the business. Your clients don’t need a perfect website—they need your expertise.

Welcome back! Today, we’re reframing how you think about the time, money, and energy you’ve poured into yourself. You’ve been investing in your skills, your growth, and your mindset—and now it’s time to monetize that investment. In this episode, I’ll show you why your value has gone up and why your compensation needs to reflect the current you, not the old you. Let’s stop selling ourselves short and start commanding what we’re truly worth in the marketplace.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode: * Your Investment = Increased Value: Understand how your time and financial investments in self-development directly increase the value you bring to the marketplace. * Stop Using the Old You as a Benchmark: Learn why basing your worth on past rates, skillsets, or confidence is holding you back—and how to break free from outdated benchmarks. * How to Command Higher Income: Get actionable strategies to assess your current value and ensure your pricing, salary, or rates reflect the new and improved you. * Why Confidence Matters: Discover how confidence, paired with your growing expertise, can unlock new levels of income and opportunity.

Key Moments: * Why the investment you made last month makes you more valuable today. * How self-development translates into marketplace value. * The confidence shift: Why charging what you're worth isn’t just about skills—it’s about believing in yourself. * Breaking the “old you” cycle: Stop looking backward when setting your rates or salary expectations. * Actionable steps to monetize your growth and demand your worth.

Quotes from the Episode: * "You are worth more today because of the investment you made in yourself yesterday. Your value went up—don’t let anyone tell you otherwise." — April Garcia * "Stop using the old you as a benchmark. The marketplace isn’t paying for who you were last month; they’re paying for who you are right now." — April Garcia * "Confidence plus expertise equals income. When you invest in yourself, your confidence grows—and so should your paycheck." — April Garcia

Action Steps for Listeners: 1. Reassess Your Value: Write down the skills, knowledge, and confidence you’ve gained in the last six months. Ask yourself, “Am I being compensated for the person I am today?” 2. Update Your Rates or Salary Expectations: If you’re an entrepreneur, raise your rates to reflect your new value. If you’re an employee, prepare to negotiate a raise or promotion. 3. Communicate Your Value: Practice articulating the value you bring to clients, employers, or partners. Be specific about how your skills and knowledge create results. 4. Invest Continuously: Keep leveling up! Set aside time and money each month for self-development—it pays dividends in both value and income.

Welcome back, friend! Today, we’re taking a walk down memory lane—yes, there’s a nod to Welcome Back, Kotter—but more importantly, we’re diving into a topic that’s been on my heart: creating spaces for real, honest collaboration and connection. I’m pulling back the curtain on Collaborate, the annual event we’ve hosted for the past three years. This isn’t your average conference. It’s not about the sizzle, the glam, or the Instagram-worthy moments. Collaborate is about deep, meaningful conversations, vulnerability, and growth—both personal and professional.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode: * The Magic of Collaborate: Discover what makes Collaborate a transformative experience. Hint: it’s not about the venue or the photo ops; it’s about the connections and the “magic” of real conversations. * Why Vulnerability is a Game-Changer: Learn how being open and honest can unlock growth in both life and business. April shares how vulnerability—once a “hard pass” for her—has become a cornerstone of meaningful leadership and collaboration. * Overcoming Limiting Narratives: Hear powerful stories of attendees who faced their fears—like accents, self-doubt, or past failures—and how the community turned those perceived weaknesses into strengths. * The Power of Me Too: Understand the profound impact of shared struggles and how hearing “me too” can dissolve shame and inspire action. * Building a 3-Year Vision: Explore how the event integrates personal growth with actionable strategies to help attendees design a vision for their life and business.

Key Moments: * Introduction to Collaborate: Not about the sizzle, but about creating a space for community and real connection. * Why “magic” is the only word that fits the experience. * Vulnerability in safe spaces: How Collaborate fosters honest conversations that break down barriers. * The power of “me too”: Stories of shared fears and how they became strengths. * Mike’s call to action: “The world needs this. How do WE bring this out in the world?”

Quotes from the Episode: * “This isn’t about the sizzle. The world has enough sizzle. It’s about real connection, real growth, and locking arms with people who care about you.” — April Garcia * “The power of vulnerability isn’t in showing weakness; it’s in creating connection and understanding.” — April Garcia * “When you share your struggles, you might just help someone else realize they’re not alone either.” — April Garcia

Why Collaborate Matters: * For Business Owners: It’s not just about growing revenue but about growing yourself so you can scale sustainably without losing what matters most. * For Leaders and Teams: Collaborate provides a blueprint for creating spaces where vulnerability is a strength, not a liability. * For Everyone Feeling Stuck: Whether it’s self-doubt, burnout, or fear of failure, Collaborate helps uncover the narratives holding you back and replaces them with strength and support.

Action Steps for Listeners: 1. Find Your Community: Seek out a space where you can be real, vulnerable, and supported. It doesn’t have to be Collaborate—but make it a priority to find your tribe. 2. Reflect on Your Narratives: What stories are you telling yourself that might be holding you back? Write them down and challenge their truth. 3. Create a Vision: Take 30 minutes to outline your 3-year vision for life and business. What’s your next bold move? 4. Share Your Struggles: Start a real conversation with someone you trust. You might just find the power of “me too.”

In this transformative episode of PivotMe, April dives deep into a powerful concept that separates high achievers from the rest: the pursuit of 10x opportunities. April discusses why aiming for 10x growth—versus incremental 2x improvement—has the potential to revolutionize your life and business. If you’re ready to focus on high-impact actions, make bold decisions, and move forward with purpose, this episode will guide you through the process. Learn to distinguish between 10x and 2x opportunities, practice "planned neglect" of small tasks, and balance your drive with sustainable habits.

What You Will Learn in This Episode: * The Power of 10x Growth vs. Incremental 2x Change: Understand why aiming for exponential impact is more transformative than simply improving on what you’re already doing. Learn to shift your mindset to focus on 10x goals that create significant, long-term change. * Identifying 10x vs. 2x Opportunities: April guides you in creating two lists—10x and 2x opportunities. Discover how to recognize and prioritize the high-stakes tasks that drive true growth, while minimizing smaller, less impactful tasks. * Practicing ‘Planned Neglect’ for Focused Success: Learn the concept of planned neglect: choosing what to consciously let go of to fully pursue your highest priorities. April shares stories of how saying “no” can create the space needed for substantial gains.

Key Moments: * Why 10x growth requires a mindset shift from “safe” incremental changes to embracing exponential impact. * Creating two lists to separate high-impact (10x) and low-impact (2x) tasks. * Practicing planned neglect by deprioritizing 2x tasks for greater focus on what truly matters. * Using the “wheel of life” tool to maintain balance during the pursuit of 10x goals. * Monetization strategies for 10x ideas, including content creation and affiliate marketing.

Quotes from the Episode: * “When we say ‘yes’ to 10x opportunities, we’re saying ‘no’ to things that won’t get us where we want to go.” — April Garcia * “If one part of your life is completely out of sync, it’ll eventually impact everything else.” — April Garcia * “The discipline of saying ‘no’ to smaller tasks opens the door to massive growth.” — April Garcia

April concludes the episode by encouraging listeners to embrace the challenge of choosing high-impact growth over smaller wins. By practicing planned neglect and prioritizing 10x opportunities, you create the space for transformation. Don’t just seek perfection—seek progress. Start today by identifying your own 10x opportunities and taking that first step toward substantial growth.

In today’s episode, April delves into a powerful concept from Jim Collins' book Built to Last—The Genius of the AND, Not the Tyranny of the OR. This mindset encourages us to reject limiting beliefs that force us to choose between two seemingly conflicting options. Instead, we are challenged to find ways to integrate both. Whether it's balancing work and family, professional growth and personal health, or pursuing success without compromising values, this episode is all about finding harmony between priorities.

Key Points:

• The Genius of the AND Explained: April introduces the idea of embracing the AND, allowing both choices to coexist. She refers to Jim Collins' quote: "Builders of greatness reject the tyranny of the OR and embrace the genius of the AND." April explains how this principle applies not only to business but to our personal lives, too.

• Examples of the Tyranny of the OR: April shares examples where people feel trapped in making exclusive decisions:

  • I can scale my business OR be a present parent.
  • I can work out daily OR drop my kids off at school.
  • I can grow professionally OR have free time.
  • Personal Story of Breaking the OR Mentality: April recounts her own experience of being stuck in the mindset that she could either scale her business or be a present parent. She describes how she shifted her thinking to embrace the AND, finding ways to do both.
  • Client Story – Kyle's Struggle: April shares a story of her client Kyle, a business owner who believed he couldn't scale his business and be a good father at the same time. This belief stemmed from past trauma when working a corporate job, where he constantly felt like he was failing both as an employee and as a parent. By helping Kyle identify the fear behind his resistance to scaling, April was able to show him how it’s possible to grow his business and still be present for his son.
  • Asking the Right Questions: April emphasizes the importance of asking yourself: "What would need to be true for me to do both?" This question helps to dismantle the OR mentality and opens up possibilities for integrating both goals.
  • Reclaiming Power by Living in the AND: By choosing to live in the AND, we take control of our lives and stop running from our fears. We can design our lives in ways that allow us to have both, whether it’s business success AND family time, health AND career growth, or any other combination that feels impossible.

April wraps up the episode by challenging listeners to identify where they are stuck in the tyranny of the OR and to start asking the hard question: "What would need to be true for me to have BOTH?" Living in the AND isn’t just a business principle—it’s a life principle. By adopting this mindset, we reclaim our power and design lives that are aligned with our biggest dreams and goals.

In today’s episode, April challenges listeners to rethink their approach to life’s most daunting challenges by asking one powerful question: “What would have to be true for this to be simple?” Whether you’re struggling with debt, overwhelmed by work projects, or feeling stuck in your business, this episode teaches you how to break down seemingly insurmountable tasks and find a clearer path forward. Simplicity isn’t always easy, but it's often the key to unlocking your next move.

Key Points: * Reframing Your Challenges: April discusses how asking “What would have to be true for this to be simple?” can instantly shift your mindset from overwhelmed to empowered. * Debt Reframe Example: April shares a story about a business owner buried in $400,000 of debt. By focusing on his most profitable service, they turned a massive debt problem into a clear sales goal. * Stop Overcomplicating Your Life: We often make problems harder than they need to be. April emphasizes that we can simplify challenges by focusing on the core tasks that make the biggest impact. Don't confuse "simple" with "easy." * Tackling Beliefs that Complicate Solutions: Many of our challenges aren’t hard because they are objectively difficult but because our beliefs complicate them. April discusses how beliefs can keep us stuck in unnecessary complexity, and how adopting new, empowering beliefs can make things simple. * Practical Examples: April shares actionable stories, like how knowing the right person can simplify a big opportunity or how focusing on one service can pay off large debt.

Life is full of challenges that seem complex, but more often than not, the solutions are simple if we change the way we think about them. April encourages listeners to ask themselves, “What would have to be true for this to be simple?” as a tool to unlock creative solutions, reduce stress, and make meaningful progress in their lives. Simplicity is not always easy, but it is always within reach if you're willing to reframe your approach.

Are you getting sidetracked by easier goals that don’t lead to your long-term vision? It’s not that you lack motivation—it’s that there’s often a clearer path to a lesser goal. In this episode, April dives into how we can stay focused on our big goals and not get distracted by the more convenient, but less impactful, tasks that pop up every day. Learn how to establish your “One Move” that aligns with your 3-year vision and make sure that’s where your effort goes.

Key Points: * Motivation isn’t the problem: April explains that most people are willing to work and put in the reps—but often towards the wrong goals. The real issue is how we focus our energy on a clearer path to lesser goals. * The One Move: Instead of chasing smaller, more convenient goals, April discusses how to identify the One Move—the action that will get you closer to your ultimate 3-year vision. * Ben Hardy’s Insight: April references Ben Hardy’s idea of focusing on future self and making decisions that serve your long-term vision. Lesser goals can feel productive but don’t move you toward your highest potential. * Client Story (David’s Routine): April shares a story about David, one of her clients, who transformed his productivity by dedicating his mornings to himself—coffee, journaling, and training—before starting his day. This simple routine helped him gain clarity and stay on track with his bigger goals. * Avoiding the Distraction of Easy Wins: April breaks down how our brains are wired to seek immediate rewards, and why that often leads us down the path of easier, less meaningful goals.

Don’t let a clearer path to a lesser goal derail your 3-year vision. Motivation isn’t the issue; it’s about focusing on the right goals. Identify your One Move and make sure your daily actions align with your future self. Avoid the trap of small, easy wins that pull you off course. Recommit to the big goals, and create habits that support them.

Feeling overwhelmed and busy is a common challenge for many of us, especially when juggling multiple projects and commitments. In this episode of PivotMe, April introduces three powerful decision filters that can help you ruthlessly prioritize your tasks and regain control of your time. It’s not about getting more done faster; it’s about getting the right things done faster. By using these decision filters, you’ll be able to identify which tasks truly need your attention and which can be delegated, delayed, or dropped altogether.

Key Points: * Overwhelm and Busyness: April discusses how feeling overwhelmed often stems from taking on too many tasks without discerning which ones are truly necessary. It’s crucial to decide which plates to keep spinning and which to set down. * The 3 Decision Filters: April explains the decision filters to use every day: 1. Does this need to be done? 2. Does this need to be done by me? 3. Is this a 10x or 2x opportunity? * Academy Client Share: April shares a case study from a client in the PivotMe Academy who transformed his consulting business by applying the decision filters. By delegating time-consuming analytics and editing tasks, he freed up several hours each week and was able to take on an additional client, achieving "more money, in less time." * Implementing the Filters: April provides practical tips on how to integrate these decision filters into your daily routine and shares common tasks that are easy to delegate or eliminate. * Wins: The episode closes with a celebration of recent wins from the PivotMe community, reinforcing how using these decision filters has empowered listeners to reclaim their time.

Overwhelm and busyness are often the result of tackling too many unnecessary tasks. By using these three decision filters daily, you can better prioritize your to-do list, delegate when possible, and focus on opportunities that will have the most impact. Remember, productivity isn’t just about doing things faster—it’s about doing the right things faster. Implement these decision filters to reclaim your time and power.

Are you stuck trying to figure out why you haven’t reached your goals yet? Success is predictable when approached strategically, and in this episode of PivotMe, April shares a game-changing formula to help you get there faster. Tune in to learn Cameron Herold’s Secret Formula to Success: Focus x Faith x Effort = Success. With this quantitative approach, you’ll understand how to measure and improve your likelihood of achieving your personal, business, or project goals.

Key Points: * The Formula for Success: April explains the Focus x Faith x Effort = Success equation. She guides you through how to rate each factor like a percentage to predict your chances of success in any goal. * Identifying Your Key Needle-Mover: When applying the formula, recognize which of the three factors—focus, faith, or effort—will make the biggest difference for you. * Boosting Faith: April dives into how affirmations, visualization, and surrounding yourself with successful people can increase your faith and belief in achieving your goals. * Raise Your Necessity: Learn how increasing the necessity or urgency to achieve your goal can amplify your chances of success. * Choosing the Right Lever: Figure out which part of the formula you need to focus on the most to propel you toward success faster.

Success isn't a guessing game. It’s about strategically working on the right levers—focus, faith, and effort. Take the time to apply this formula to your own goals, identify the weakest link, and improve it to guarantee better results. The clearer you are on where you need to put in work, the closer you'll get to reaching your dreams.

In today’s fast-paced world, we constantly switch between different roles and environments, from work-mode to parent-mode, and everything in between. How do we manage these transitions effectively and show up as our best selves, without chasing the impossible idea of "perfect"? In this episode of PivotMe, April discusses the importance of recognizing transitional moments and being intentional in how we approach them. Learn practical strategies to navigate these shifts and set purposeful intentions for each role you play throughout the day.

Key Points: * The Power of Transitional Moments: We often switch between various roles—professional, personal, leadership, and more. April explains how being mindful during these transitions can help us show up as our best selves. * Examples of Transition: Whether it's a project manager dealing with a client or a parent switching gears from work to talking to their child, each role demands a different version of ourselves. * Tips from Brendon Burchard’s High-Performance Habits: April draws on Brendon Burchard's concept of acknowledging transitions and shares two actionable tips: 1. Take Two Deep Breaths: Release tension from the previous role. 2. Set an Intention: Define how you want to show up in the next role, whether it’s as a leader, a parent, or a friend. * Real-World Application: April shares humorous and real-life examples, like explaining to her child that their HOA won’t allow pet donkeys. These moments illustrate the need to shift our mindset and intentions based on the roles we play. * Execution: You’ll make many transitions throughout the day—own them by consciously managing your state and setting clear intentions.

Life is full of transitions, and how you handle them can make all the difference in showing up as your best self. By taking a moment to breathe and set an intention for each role, you can navigate these transitions with purpose and clarity. Remember, you are capable of choosing how you show up—don’t let old stories hold you back.

Today we're talking about something that might be holding you back more than you realize—your past limp. Whether it's a physical limp or a mental one, these adjustments we make after experiencing hurt can linger long after the pain has passed. In this episode, I share my own story of how a past injury kept me limping even when the hurt was gone, and how that relates to the way we all hold onto past pain. It's time to recognize these outdated adjustments and let them go.

Key Points: * April’s Throwback Story: April kicks off the episode by sharing a personal story about how she developed a limp after an injury and how her brain kept the limp long after her body had healed. * The Protection Mechanism: How we instinctively try to protect ourselves after being hurt and why these survival mechanisms can end up holding us back over time. * Recognizing What Holds You Back: The importance of identifying the outdated behaviors or beliefs that are no longer serving you, and how they can cause you to miss out on opportunities you think you aren’t ready for. * The Journey to Rewire: April discusses the process of rewiring your mindset and behavior to walk your journey without that limp, allowing you to embrace new opportunities with confidence.

Holding onto a past limp, whether physical or emotional, can prevent you from reaching your full potential. By recognizing and letting go of these outdated adjustments, you can move forward without the unnecessary baggage. Remember, walking without a limp is worth it. Let’s change the story you're telling yourself, and in doing so, change your life.

Today, we dive into the idea that it's not just about working hard for your future self—it's about being willing to fail for your future self. We'll explore why embracing failure is essential for growth and how stepping out of your comfort zone can lead to truly transformative change.

Key Points: * The Importance of Failing for Your Future Self: Discussing the concept from Ben Hardy's book and how it challenges the idea of traditional success. * Stop Succeeding at Your Current Self: Why living in your comfort zone and continuing to succeed where you already excel can hold you back from reaching your true potential. * The Fear of Failure: April shares her personal struggle with committing to the 75 Hard challenge and the fear of failure that kept her from starting. * Reframing Failure: How April turned the 75 Hard challenge into 75 one-day challenges and learned to get back up after setbacks. * Learning from Siri Lindley: A powerful lesson on the willingness to embarrass oneself in pursuit of greatness, and why embarrassment is sometimes necessary for growth. * Embrace Discomfort: The importance of being willing to fail, feel embarrassed, and step outside the easy path to achieve your future goals.

In your journey toward becoming your future self, don’t just focus on hard work—embrace the possibility of failure. True growth comes not just from effort, but from being willing to step outside your comfort zone, face embarrassment, and learn from every setback. Ask yourself, when was the last time you were willing to fail or embarrass yourself in the pursuit of your goals? Let’s make that leap together.

Key Points: * The Concept of the Unreasonable Ask: Understanding what it means to make an unreasonable ask and why it's crucial for growth. * Siri Lindley's Story: How Siri Lindley made an unreasonable ask to train in Switzerland with elite athletes. * Real-Life Examples: + David pitching 12-month contracts instead of month-to-month. + Mike asking for a $50 million loan for his company. * Why You Should Make the Unreasonable Ask: Recognizing that others less qualified are already doing it and succeeding. * Overcoming Self-Doubt: Encouragement for listeners to believe in their capabilities and ask for what they deserve. * Practical Examples and Challenges: + Asking for mentorship or partnerships. + PivotMe Academy member's story about seeking support as a new foster mom. + Ben's larger-than-usual proposal.

On this episode of PivotMe, April challenges traditional business plans and goal-setting methods, offering a fresh perspective on envisioning your future. She shares why she's not a fan of typical goal-setting approaches and business plans, emphasizing the limitations they impose. Instead, she introduces the concept of My3Y, a vision for your life and business three years down the road.

April encourages listeners to break free from current constraints and dream big when crafting their My3Y vision. She shares insights on why it's crucial to have a clear vision and highlights the importance of using it as a decision filter in everyday life. By aligning actions with the My3Y vision, listeners can avoid drifting aimlessly and actively work towards the life they truly desire.

Key Points:

• Traditional goal-setting methods often fall short due to their focus on incremental improvements and following existing paths.
• Business plans tend to overlook personal aspects of the business owner's life, leading to disconnects between goals and reality.
• The My3Y approach involves envisioning where you want to be in three years, free from current constraints and limitations.
• Using the My3Y vision as a decision filter helps prioritize actions that align with long-term aspirations, avoiding drift and dissatisfaction.
• Listeners are invited to explore their own My3Y vision and consider how it can shape their future endeavors and decisions.

In conclusion, April challenged the conventional wisdom of goal setting and business planning.

She emphasized the importance of casting a vision for your life and business, using her My3Y method as a powerful tool to envision where you want to be three years from now. By breaking free from current constraints and allowing yourself to dream without limitations, you can create a vision that truly excites and motivates you. Furthermore, April highlighted the significance of using your vision as a decision filter, ensuring that your daily actions align with your long-term goals. Ultimately, the key takeaway is to take ownership of your future, avoiding the trap of following someone else's plan and instead crafting a vision that reflects your true desires and aspirations.

In this episode, April shares her biggest takeaways from the Collaborate San Francisco event, where business leaders, owners, and experts come together to share, connect, and learn. April discusses the importance of vision, the power of recognizing our shared human struggles, and the need for authentic connections.

In this episode of PivotMe, we explore the metaphorical concept of carrying around "stones" in our lives, representing old thoughts, limiting beliefs, past experiences, and regrets weighing us down. April shares a humorous yet insightful listener story about flushing a piece of paper down an office toilet, highlighting the lengths people go to release their metaphorical stones.

The episode focuses on helping listeners identify the "stones" that burden them and sabotage their progress in life. By recognizing and labeling these heavy psychological and emotional burdens, individuals can take the first step toward freeing themselves from these limitations.

The core message is about living a lighter life, free from the burdens that restrict personal growth and fulfillment. Just as carrying stones in your pockets would make daily life heavy and uncomfortable, emotional baggage hinders personal growth and life satisfaction. The action steps involve identifying your "stones" and literally releasing one of them into a body of water as a symbolic act of liberation.

Listeners are encouraged to embrace the challenge of finding and releasing their "stones," taking steps toward a life unburdened by past limitations and regrets.

In this episode, we explore the concept of creative destruction and its profound impact on personal and professional growth. Creative destruction involves reevaluating existing systems, practices, and mindsets to eliminate what no longer serves you.

April emphasizes the need to break free from old systems that might be holding you back. Whether you're running a business or seeking personal growth, it's crucial to adapt your strategies as you scale and evolve. Running a $2M business should not mirror the practices of a $200K business.

By creatively destroying outdated systems and embracing change, you create space for new opportunities, growth, and innovation. April encourages listeners to evaluate their own systems and challenge the status quo to ignite transformation and progress.

Don't be afraid to let go of what's no longer working; sometimes, destruction is the path to renewal and success. Tune in to discover how creative destruction can be a catalyst for reaching new heights.

In this episode, we explore the challenges that come with growing ambition and rising success. As you become a bigger fish in the pond, you may notice that others are intimidated by your desires and achievements. This can be especially tricky when it involves people close to you.

April offers valuable insights into how to navigate ambition without shrinking yourself to accommodate others' insecurities. She emphasizes that no amount of politeness or people-pleasing will alleviate their concerns without making you smaller.

Remember, haters will hate, but you need to keep moving forward, standing out, and pursuing your goals unapologetically. If someone you love feels threatened by your success, communicate your continued love and the space you hold for them in your journey.

Don't be small; you were made for greatness. Tune in to discover how to manage ambition with kindness and patience while remaining true to your aspirations.

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.

What if we only get more of what we celebrate? What if our life was only based on what we are celebrating. When your spouse says something nice to you- great celebrate it! When your kid does something great- celebrate. When you do well on a proposal- celebrate. We can shift our life if we primarily focus on the good, and celebrate what we want more of. Don’t wait to celebrate. So my message today is simple-- Celebrate early. And celebrate often. It is never too soon, to look back and appreciate how far you’ve come. Its never too soon to look back and think “Look at the distance I already covered.” Yes yes, you may not be there yet, but you aren’t where you were. So celebrate. You get more of what you celebrate. So celebrate.

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!

First let’s recap some of what we’ve already covered:

Started with the basics in Sales 101. What’s a prospect- the person you want to sell to, product- the thing you have you want to sell, elevator pitch and offer—ways that you talk about your business and product and ultimately make the offer to purchase it.

In part 2 we went more in-depth into elevator pitches. What they are, how to do one based on your industry, and the most important things to include in your elevator pitch. Above all—get really comfortable saying the words. If your voice still shakes, you haven’t said it enough.

If you didn’t catch those two episodes go back and listen to parts 1 and 2.

Today as part of our sales series, we are expanding upon avatars and anti-avatars and how to communicate them to your team.

They will help shape just about everything you do on the sales and marketing side.

In this episode, the topic is about the fear of success. Although many people laugh at the idea of having a fear of money, fame, network, or success, it is a very real thing. When people are in pursuit of success, it is fine when it still feels far away. However, something happens when they start getting close, and something starts shifting in them. Fear usually accompanies the success, and it can be downright terror. The fear of success is just one of the nine flavors of self-sabotage, and it can be recognized through questions that are gateways to self-sabotage. If people continue to ask themselves these questions, they will not just procrastinate, but they will also undermine all their efforts.

Some of the questions that people ask themselves when they are afraid of success include: "How will my life change?", "Will people see me differently?", "What if the expectations are now set too high?", "What if I'm not as good as I think?", and "What if, at first, I succeed, only to then fail publicly?"

If people recognize themselves in any of these questions, they might have a fear of success. Although people may be scared of failure, they should not let the fear of success hold them back. They should step up and step out of their comfort zone. People should not make excuses for not pursuing their dreams but should rather face their fear and conquer it.

Last week we talked about the difference between sales and marketing. I said if you are a chef and have an amazing entre- it is key to make an OFFER for your amazing entre- or know one will know about it. All your hard work and sleepless nights don’t matter if you do not make an offer, even better make an offer to a hungry prospect. So today we are talking about Elevator pitches, avatars and audiences. We touched on this briefly last week, if you didn’t catch the first sales series episode go back and listen to that one, Sales 101, but today we are expanding on it.

On PivotMe today April is going to share a tiny little decision, a micro decision she made- not even consciously, that negatively changed the results she was getting profoundly.

What we are talking about today is the compound effect of small decisions over time leading to big results. But here is the key to this: It is the decisions we don’t know that we are making, that get us into the most trouble. Want help with your Goals and Productivity?

In this episode, April helps us on how to identify our 3 biggest problems. You can ask yourself if you're a solopreneur, ask your team, your executive team what are the biggest problems we are facing now. And who do we know that could solve it for us.

This applies to our lives, too, we should be doing a quarterly review of our life. Do a wheel of life. It is so insightful. And when you do that, you need to ask the question, what's the biggest problem I'm facing now in my personal life?

In this episode, you will learn how to:

• Stop the revolving door of board members
• Ensure that each person serves in their area of expertise
• Place your future, more experienced self on your board
• Vote out negative members while maintaining a relationship with them

Today, we are following up on Episode 176 Your Personal Board of Directors!

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.

So, let’s continue to explore this topic and discover the power that WE hold when we become the Chairman of our own boards, and how to powerfully change our lives when we decide that the conversations in our head are no longer open to everybody with an opinion.

Action Steps:

• List out WHO is on the board and what area they serve! Who should NOT be there? Who SHOULD be there? Who is going to push you to be your best? (11:30)

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 influenced by these people and we may not even know it or realize that they are there! Not everybody gets a seat at the table!!! To make the cut, they need to be propelling you into the version of yourself that YOU want and what is best for you, NOT keeping you stuck in the version of your life that is more comfortable and convenient for THEM!

In this episode, I will give you tips and tricks on identifying who is on your Board and why, how to choose the right people to advise and empower you and how to vote those unhelpful people off the board so their opinions no longer hold you back from the life that you are designing.

Action Steps:

• Make a list of who is on your Personal Board of Directors and WHY! (12:04)
• Make a list of who is on the Board but does not deserve a seat and WHY! (12:29)
• CLEAN HOUSE as if the quality of your life depends on it…because it DOES!!! (13:10)

What you will learn in this episode:

• Make it a routine to ask yourself ‘who do I already know that could solve this problem for me?’
• How to start asking the right questions in life and business by borrowing someone else’s genius to accelerate your growth exponentially.
• Read the Who Not How book to understand how to allow a partnership between you and your ‘who’.
• Where to find your ‘who’ by thinking of the category of your problem and then crowdsourcing your network.
• Identify a problem you’re facing right now, be clear with the goal, and then ask yourself who you know that can help you with it.

Quotes:

• “Asking who is more than just delegation, it’s borrowing someone else’s genius.”
• “There’s a better faster way, never be limited in your goals and ambitions because the key to the solution is finding your ‘who’.
• “We only stop progressing if we stop taking the small consistent steps towards greatness.”

In this episode, you will learn how to:

• Analyze and prioritize your to-do lists and daily schedule for maximum impact
• Say no to the things that do not serve you and create space for the things that do
• Audit your calendar
• Increase productivity so you can complete the RIGHT things

Do you find yourself running out of time at the end of the day for the things you want to accomplish?

We are busier than ever, but time is the great equalizer. Think about it! You have the same hours in the day as any number of successful people-- so let's dial in how we can make the most of it!

Family. Friends. Our phones. Social Media. Work obligations…the list can go on and on with all the good things we fill our time with but also, the things that drain us of our energy and resources, leaving us depleted and unable to focus on what truly matters to us!

Let's evaluate all the things on our plate and decide which things can stay and what stories, feelings, or tasks need to be eliminated. Here is the hard truth: if you want success in any area of your life, you need to say NO to many, many things. The success you have on any given thing is directly connected to how tight your focus is. By saying YES to one thing, you have to say NO to many others.

Today, I will be giving tips and tricks to regaining power over your schedule (and ultimately your life!) by creating the Yes/No list to establish clear boundaries on what will move us forward and what is holding us back from truly living the lives that we dream of!

Action Steps:

1. Get out a piece of paper. Fold it vertically, and on one side write YES and on the other side, NO. (15:58)
2. Start with the things that you are saying YES to. It can be an action, a story you tell yourself, where you spend your time, a feeling or emotion….do these things currently serve you and your best interests? If not, shift it over to your NO list!
3. What are you saying NO to? Be intentional!

Open your calendar, look at what you had on your schedule a week back and look a week ahead. What is on there that should not be and what is missing that should be there? Show me your calendar (and your bank account) and I will show you your priorities. Take an honest look at where your time is going!!! If something is truly important to you, you schedule and make time for it. It will show up on your calendar if it REALLY matters! What is on there out of obligation or habit? Change accordingly!

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

• How to prioritize your tasks for greater productivity
• The benefit of creating a master task list to get your day started right and help you accomplish more
• Tried and true techniques to help manage your time and increase your efficiency

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

In an age where there are so many things to easily distract, we need to have a plan of action when it comes to protecting our time and making the most of this precious resource.

Let’s talk about the ten techniques that will help you master time management so we can increase our focus and get things done!

Action:

• Download a timer! It is a game changer for productivity! Modify as needed.
• Prioritize. Prioritize. Prioritize.
• Set up your day the night before! Do not waste your morning trying to figure out what to tackle first.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝟲 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘀 What if One Choice Could Change Everything.

#1 Connection Effect. Your future is remarkably shaped by those around you. Your life will be measured by the quality of your relationships.

#2 Propose effect. The right people reveal your true source of power.

#3 Authenticity effect. Be authentic, gain trust. You find your true self among those you trust.

#4 Accountability effect. Accountability is the world’s most powerful force.

#5 The Multiplier Effect. The right group of people compound your efforts and have a synergistic effect. Your net worth is your network.

#6 The Influence Effect. What may be the most important lesson of them all, as Tony Robbins says- you are the average of the 5 people you spend your time with. Implement these 6 lessons in your life and business, and it will radically improve in under 90 days.

𝗛𝗼𝘄? 𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱. They are small groups of people that regularly meet in the pursuit of a goal- through the goals can be different for each person.

Discussed by Napoleon Hill in his book Think and Grow Rich, Hill said, “No mind is complete by itself. It needs contact and association with other minds to grow and expand.” And it needs to be specific minds, or as April says—not your default peer group (the people you live, work, or are related to)—go out and pick the people!

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁?
1. Consistency. It is a scheduled, sacred time, that does not get moved (weekly, monthly, or quarterly)
2. Goal-oriented. Actively in pursuit of a goal.
3. Accountability. Show up, be seen, hold yourself and others to a standard. If you get off track (spoiler alert—we all do) get back on track faster and have the courage to call out your team when they are off track. There is no perfect execution, you aren’t German engineering, just consistent execution.
4. Vulnerability. The Mastermind must be honest about both the joy of achievement and the pain of growth. Because there is pain.
5. No dog in the fight. No one is directly influenced by your decisions (different than a pure networking group), so they can give unadulterated advice. Where else in life do we get that?
If you are reaching for that next level of success, don’t do it alone. And don’t do it just with your default peer group. Love them, but seek out those that will educate and elevate you to levels you didn’t think possible.

Dig in to this Inspirational, Insightful, and Vulnerable interview with Sales Expert Ian Koniak. With over 100M sold at Fortune 500 companies, Ian is a leading expert in sales and his global clients have included Berkshire Hathaway, Experian, Activision, Toshiba, and Panda Express.

In this episode Ian shares with us about his rise to success, his rocky start in management, and the amazing success he’s had in the last 3 years. We learn so much from Ian’s story. He had risen to the top, literally, but knew it was not enough. Ian takes us on a journey from teaching English in South America, falling in love in Venezuela, and at 23 searching for a career that could support his life and give him options for his future.

He settles on sales, and does extremely well, but then reaches a point that its not enough.

He eventually goes into management and has a rude awakening when he realizes he cannot manage others the way he likes to be managed. They were not motivated by the same things.

When Ian realized his mood, identity and happiness were completely tied to his performance at work, despite having a wonderful life outside of work, he made more massive changes. He joined a $20,000 Mastermind and his income tripled, his marriage strengthened, and he found happiness in other ways. He invested in himself, his growth, and not just professional achievement.

And yet there was still another twist in Ian’s story. Listen to hear what happened!

Ian and April both get real about both the rush and the downside of sales careers and the cycle of sabotage that can destroy great performers.

Ian Koniak is a Sales Authority with a massive commitment to alignment, vision, and purpose, and has held countless positions for top sales, including holding the #1 position in the Enterprise Division of Salesforce.com, a 17 billion dollar global company with more than 50,000 employees worldwide.

Quotable Moments:

“In sales, my raise becomes effective when I am.”

(regarding management) “There are people that get motivation from elsewhere, and you can’t just hammer someone and expect them to work the way you do. It doesn’t work.”

“I feel like I unlocked the secret of life. I’m such a well-rounded person now… I was always an excellent performer at work, but the last 3 years have been unbelievable. That made all the difference for me.”

“If you take one thing away from this podcast as a manager, before ‘meeting people where they are’ you must first CARE where they are, and where they want to GO.”
