Hey, I'm Paige Killian, founder and CEO of everything
Unknown:with style. I've built a business helping busy moms of
Unknown:littles get organized in three simple steps. Like many of my
Unknown:clients, I love being a mom. And I also desire more. If ever, you
Unknown:felt that stirring in your heart, that whisper or really
Unknown:loud voice that keeps you up at night. And I don't mean teething
Unknown:toddlers and noisy teenagers, then you are in the right place.
Unknown:Because this is not a solo mission. Whether you're a little
Unknown:curious or totally ready to be a mom, boss, and use your God
Unknown:given gifts to serve others step into your calling, turn your
Unknown:passions into purpose, and still make it to the carpool line on
Unknown:time, then girlfriend,
Unknown:it's time to pivot. I've got you. Now let's get started. Hey
Unknown:there, welcome back to another episode of the time to pivot
Unknown:podcast. So if you have listened to the previous episode all
Unknown:about how my story is your story, I want you to understand
Unknown:that even if some of the things that I shared about starting out
Unknown:as a teacher and wanting to do some things in the classroom to
Unknown:contribute to those amazing Growing Minds, then moving on to
Unknown:being a mom on a mission who needed to help my kid, we needed
Unknown:to work through some things I needed to be able to offer him
Unknown:support even when I didn't know exactly what to do for him. But
Unknown:we were trusting the process, we were asking experts, we were
Unknown:leaning on others who knew how to help us. And then we were
Unknown:implementing those things that we were being taught. As we were
Unknown:learning about this, that was a very, very important part of my
Unknown:journey, my story. And I'm curious, if you were able to
Unknown:find any sort of support, or if any of that really resonated
Unknown:with you and something that you are going through in your
Unknown:journey right now. Then, after helping my son, I really felt
Unknown:compelled not only to contribute financially to my family,
Unknown:through starting my own business, my own company, and
Unknown:really figuring out what my message was on that next
Unknown:mission, not just to help my family, but also to make a
Unknown:greater impact, and to serve other moms who were going
Unknown:through some of the same stuff that I had gone through that I
Unknown:was going through. And I wanted to be there to support those
Unknown:moms, and show them some of the things that I had learned some
Unknown:of the strategies that I had put in place in order to go from
Unknown:this goal to the end and seeing a light at the end of the
Unknown:tunnel. That's what I wanted. So today's episode is all about
Unknown:talking about that strategy. What was that? How did I come up
Unknown:with it? How is that going to be useful and effective in applying
Unknown:it to your life? Here's what I want to say it started out in
Unknown:those early days of being a kindergarten teacher many years
Unknown:ago. Don't ask me how many because that's not necessary to
Unknown:know. But a lot of years ago, I was in the classroom and I was a
Unknown:young person before I was a parent. And I realized the
Unknown:importance of simplifying a process with littles because
Unknown:those little four and five and six year olds, depending on
Unknown:whether or not I was teaching in the summertime, those incoming
Unknown:kindergarteners are the ones that were coming off the heels
Unknown:of preschool, and then getting into a classroom and
Unknown:kindergarten. And they needed some structure. They needed some
Unknown:guidance. But what I learned is that it had to be simple, or it
Unknown:was going to be overwhelming and stressful for them. So when I
Unknown:was in the classroom, and we I always use this example, if we
Unknown:were outside and we were at recess, and it was time for them
Unknown:to make that big transition where they would go from crazy,
Unknown:wild, fun, free energy to in the classroom, to focused to sitting
Unknown:down receiving a message from the teacher and then
Unknown:implementing those things that they learned there was going to
Unknown:have to be some sort of structure and strategy in place.
Unknown:And again, it had to be simple. So it wasn't overwhelming or
Unknown:stressful for them, right? Because they're four, five and
Unknown:six year olds. So here's an example. I would say to them
Unknown:three simple steps to go from point A to point B and have that
Unknown:be successful without the overwhelm. Okay, here's the
Unknown:example of going from outside to in Inside I would say, Hey guys,
Unknown:I'd like you to go inside, use the restroom wash your hands.
Unknown:This is that first one where you're going inside, we're
Unknown:getting them to go to the bathroom, right? Because we
Unknown:don't want them sitting on the carpet trying to learn a lesson
Unknown:and then a page about going the bathroom. I got it. Right, like
Unknown:just holding their focus, we want to take away anything
Unknown:that's going to distract them from what their end goal is. In
Unknown:this case, it's learning a lesson, right? Okay, so
Unknown:bathroom, we're going to check that off the list. Here's
Unknown:another thing that I would say for their second step. Take your
Unknown:lunch bag, right? Because recess is usually on the heels of
Unknown:lunchtime, so we'd go to lunch, and then we would have our
Unknown:recess playtime, right? They burn off all those calories they
Unknown:just ate and then they'd be ready to focus. Okay, so I would
Unknown:say, make sure you take your lunch bag and go put it in your
Unknown:cubby. So that part was really because if we got to the carpet,
Unknown:and it was time to learn, maybe they didn't need to go to the
Unknown:bathroom because we checked that off. But oh, no. What if
Unknown:somebody forgot their lunch bag outside? raising their hands
Unknown:again? Oh, Pay Page PAGE PAGE. I love my lunchbox outside, can I
Unknown:go get it in a derail everything that we're working on again,
Unknown:right? Okay, so we take that out of the equation, because they
Unknown:get that friendly reminder, as they're walking in. They're all
Unknown:like showing me their lunch bags. As they're going to the
Unknown:restroom as they're washing their hands as they're putting
Unknown:their stuff in their cubby, then that final third step is have a
Unknown:seat on the carpet. And they would have these little squares
Unknown:on the rug. And they would know that that was their spot, that
Unknown:was their learning spot. That was their focus spot, they would
Unknown:go to that place. And then I would know that we had tackled
Unknown:any of those issues that were going to come up in those first
Unknown:couple of steps. And we were ready to focus, we were ready to
Unknown:go from what that lesson was to then applying it in their lives.
Unknown:Alright, so those first three steps from going that first big
Unknown:transition outside to inside, play time to focus time was go
Unknown:to the restroom, wash your hands, put your lunch bag in
Unknown:your cubby, join me on the carpet. Okay, the next set of
Unknown:threes, after I taught the lesson would be go to your table
Unknown:group. Okay, because the last thing you want is to dismiss
Unknown:somebody to go to do something. And with all that four, or five
Unknown:and six year old energy, they just break, they go all over the
Unknown:place. You say, Okay, we're done on the carpet, we're done
Unknown:learning the lesson, boom, they go in 30 different directions,
Unknown:right? If you've ever been in a classroom, you know, it's so
Unknown:funny because I would have the moms come in, or the dads come
Unknown:in, or the family friends come in the grandparents, if they
Unknown:were in town, to read to the kids, or like even you know,
Unknown:being a second grade teacher years later, it was the same
Unknown:thing, we would have the royal reader at our school, they would
Unknown:come in and it was so hilarious, because on the way out, they
Unknown:would look at you and they would just be like, I am exhausted.
Unknown:How do you do this? Every day, for the amount of hours, that
Unknown:was a 20 minute royal reader moment, and I am exhausted.
Unknown:Every year for that big energy, I thrive on that big energy, not
Unknown:so much the chaos but the reining in and really using
Unknown:their energy to focus and get big things accomplished in the
Unknown:day, whether that was kindergarten or second grade, or
Unknown:even in my own home. I love that. Okay, so as I was saying,
Unknown:we would have that lesson, and then it would be time for the
Unknown:next three steps. And I would say Okay, guys, you're gonna
Unknown:need to go to your table group. All right, that would already be
Unknown:established, they would know what table group they were
Unknown:sitting in for that particular week or that particular month,
Unknown:kind of like their square on the carpet, right there was that
Unknown:assigned spot for them. So that was very clear, the essential
Unknown:thing they needed to do was go to their table group, then write
Unknown:your name on your paper, right? Because how many of you know
Unknown:whether you're a parent, and you see a note from a teacher when
Unknown:their homework comes home? Please write your name. Or maybe
Unknown:you've been a teacher in the classroom as well. And you know
Unknown:how frustrating it is when so many, you know, pieces of paper
Unknown:and drawings and handwriting look the same. And you're trying
Unknown:to figure out who's is this? Who does it belong to? So I would
Unknown:tell them, write your name on your paper. Third step. Look at
Unknown:me when you're ready. So that look at me when you're ready. It
Unknown:was kind of like sit on the carpet and be ready that final
Unknown:focus Step. Look at me when you're ready. So I know you're
Unknown:at your table, your name is on your paper, right? You're taking
Unknown:ownership of what you're about to do. And then you are looking
Unknown:at me, it is clear that you are ready to implement what you've
Unknown:just learned. We're going to do this together. Here we go. Big
Unknown:things are about to get accomplished. Right. Okay, so
Unknown:thank you for listening to that. First of all, I then took what I
Unknown:had learned That strategy, that three steps strategy, and when I
Unknown:went into people's homes to organize when I started my own
Unknown:business in 2016. And here's what I realized I was working
Unknown:with moms, sometimes dads, but usually I was working with moms.
Unknown:And while their capacity to learn and retain information is
Unknown:way more than a four or five and six year old, right, we're very
Unknown:much more evolved. We're more mature, of course, that guess
Unknown:what, we have a lot more in our brains, we are thinking about,
Unknown:okay, pages here to organize, we need to get this done before the
Unknown:kids get home or before I have to go to carpool. Okay, okay, we
Unknown:need to get this done. Because I've got to get dinner on the
Unknown:table tonight. Because I've got book club, all the ladies are
Unknown:coming over and I'm hosting or I've got this great event, I
Unknown:need to make sure we get this done so that I can go get dinner
Unknown:on the table, because I'm going to go, okay, you know, apply
Unknown:whatever you might think might be going on in these moms,
Unknown:hearts and minds. They were overwhelmed. I was in their home
Unknown:to organize because they were overwhelmed. And they needed
Unknown:help. And that was a huge first step. They asked me to be there.
Unknown:But guess what we needed to simplify the organization
Unknown:process. So here came that three step strategy again. So I
Unknown:finally thought you know what, I need to actually make this
Unknown:something specific, I need to actually make this my plan,
Unknown:everywhere I go, I'm going to test this strategy and make sure
Unknown:that it's tried and true. And if it's really good, it's not just
Unknown:going to work in kindergarten, it's gonna work when we get
Unknown:organized, because it's a three step strategy that's like a
Unknown:beginning, middle and end to set your goal and accomplish your
Unknown:goal, right in three simple steps. And if you ever listened
Unknown:to the moms organization, motivation podcast, the other
Unknown:podcast that I started out with, you will hear me say in the
Unknown:intro for every episode, that it has to be simple, or it just
Unknown:won't get done. So if I went in their homes, and I was like,
Unknown:Alright, we're gonna get organized today. And it's gonna
Unknown:take us about 15 to 20 steps. What that is overwhelming, that
Unknown:immediately feel stressful. But if I come in, and I say, Hey,
Unknown:you ready to get organized in three simple steps, that feels a
Unknown:lot less stressful, that feels a lot more achievable, where you
Unknown:are actually ready to get going. Because once you've done the
Unknown:first step, and you're rounding the corner to the second step,
Unknown:you only have one thing left to do. That's so fast. And that's
Unknown:what I realized, those busy moms needed, they needed something
Unknown:that was simple, and they could see results in fast. Okay, so
Unknown:stay with me, I went and met my girlfriend, Kelly Mobic, over at
Unknown:marmalade cafe, on uh, gosh, Kelly, if you're listening, I
Unknown:wish you were on my she's gonna come on the show. I think I
Unknown:mentioned that on the other episode, she's gonna come on,
Unknown:she's gonna talk about taking the lead in your life. She is my
Unknown:friend and my business coach, and I absolutely adore her. And
Unknown:our story started out when we were working together with this
Unknown:sort of side hustle thing that we had. And I just, I really
Unknown:just I loved the way that she showed up in life. And so we
Unknown:became fast friends. And so I knew when I wanted to start this
Unknown:business, and I wanted to really get clear on what this three
Unknown:step strategy was. And I wanted to figure out how to turn that
Unknown:into a business to help other people to serve other people.
Unknown:She was the girl I was gonna go to, and she immediately helped
Unknown:me name those three steps. So the three E's philosophy, it
Unknown:begins, has a middle, and it ends with three words, three
Unknown:steps that begin with the letter E, Simple enough, right? Your
Unknown:essential, your enhancement, and your extra, your essential, this
Unknown:is your must have or must do. Okay? So like, if you think
Unknown:about the kindergarten analogy, you absolutely must go use the
Unknown:bathroom, because I don't want you to be distracted on the
Unknown:carpet, your enhancement, this is the thing that add style or
Unknown:value to that in the kindergarten example. That's
Unknown:making sure you remember to grab your lunch bag that was outside
Unknown:and go put it in your cubby. So again, you're not distracted,
Unknown:you are continuing to move the ball forward and getting focused
Unknown:to implement whatever this big thing is that you're about to
Unknown:do. The third step your extra, this is what's going to take
Unknown:that to a whole new level. This is the cherry on top. This is
Unknown:sort of the thing that's gonna bring it home. And that was when
Unknown:I would say, showing me on the carpet, it was very clear that
Unknown:at that point, they were fully focused. They were there. their
Unknown:end goal was to get from outside to inside and be ready to learn
Unknown:and ready to listen. So I took those three steps and I was
Unknown:like, how are we apply this to an organization? Your essential
Unknown:so often when I would go into people's homes, the first First,
Unknown:most important must have must do is the essential purge. He got
Unknown:to purge the stuff that's clutter. Even if it's awesome
Unknown:stuff, I would also talk about how like sometimes your stuff
Unknown:that was so cool, but just wasn't getting used took on that
Unknown:annoying title of clutter. Because it was just in a way it
Unknown:wasn't getting used, even if it was so great or you spent a ton
Unknown:of money on it, right? But listen, if it started becoming
Unknown:clutter, and it wasn't serving you in your life, we needed to
Unknown:do a good purge, get it out of there, that was the essential
Unknown:must have or must do do the good purge. I'll talk about grabbing
Unknown:your bags with handles and just going through and putting things
Unknown:in. If you want to learn more about that you can head over the
Unknown:moms organization motivation podcast and listen to episode
Unknown:one, three E's philosophy, that's going to tell you a whole
Unknown:lot more about how to apply these things in an a way of
Unknown:organization. Okay, so I'll pop that link in show notes here as
Unknown:well. Let's talk about in organization, the enhancement,
Unknown:what's going to add styler value to this purge. If you're getting
Unknown:rid of this stuff, well, how many of you have seen that stuff
Unknown:end up like in the trunk of your car, you had the best of
Unknown:intentions or like in your garage, and then it goes from
Unknown:clutter in your house to in your garage or it gets in your trunk.
Unknown:And then it's like out of sight out of mind, you totally forget
Unknown:it. So I would often say an organization, the enhancement,
Unknown:what was going to add style or value to that good purge you
Unknown:just did is actually take it to a donation site, or send it to a
Unknown:friend who needs that as a handy down so that those awesome
Unknown:things that you want had now get to go on and serve other people.
Unknown:So that was a great enhancement, okay, to that good purge you
Unknown:did. And then the final the extra in organization. This is
Unknown:when we were putting in proper containers, and maybe even going
Unknown:another step and labeling them properly if you really wanted to
Unknown:get super organized. But the fact is, you would then have the
Unknown:stuff leftover after that good purge. And after you donated it,
Unknown:or maybe you sold it to get some ROI. Maybe you reinvested that
Unknown:money that you got from those things, and you put in the
Unknown:proper organization bins, so you could contain what was leftover,
Unknown:and you would see what you had at a glance, right. So that's
Unknown:how the three E's philosophy, then applied to getting
Unknown:organized. So now you're here. And we are talking about times
Unknown:that we need to pivot and lean into perhaps a calling that God
Unknown:has given you, perhaps these gifts that you feel like you
Unknown:have and are not being used, because you are maybe a busy mom
Unknown:of littles who just desires more, and you don't know what to
Unknown:do with it. Well, let me tell you, it can be done using a
Unknown:tried and true simplified strategy. I am not just a mom, I
Unknown:am not just a professional organizer, I am not just any of
Unknown:those things. We are so many things. And I am now stepping
Unknown:into this new role as a strategist. But guess what? I've
Unknown:been doing it all along in these other areas of my life. So I'm
Unknown:telling you this, because I want you to think about what's going
Unknown:on in your life. What is something that you have been
Unknown:doing over and over and over again, that you are really good
Unknown:at that you can then take and share it with somebody else
Unknown:because it's going to be helpful for them. Think about what are
Unknown:you doing in your life, something that you've done that
Unknown:simple, overly complicating things is detrimental to our
Unknown:forward motion. So I knew when I created this three E's
Unknown:philosophy, this simple three step strategy, it had to be
Unknown:simple, or it wasn't going to work. Because people get
Unknown:distracted, we're busy, we got stuff to do. And we also you
Unknown:know, things come up in our lives. So if you're being called
Unknown:to do these big things, and you're getting stuck in the
Unknown:house, you gotta figure out a way to simplify it. So let me
Unknown:ask you, what might be the essential thing right now that
Unknown:you could focus on to start moving the ball forward and
Unknown:getting your message out and using your gifts to serve
Unknown:someone else? What is it? And hey, listen, I want to make sure
Unknown:that you understand that I'm not saying you have to go out and
Unknown:start a business and you have to go, you know, take these great
Unknown:gifts and skills that you have to the world you can be doing
Unknown:big things and impact your family at home, or your church
Unknown:or your local community. You can be an incredible wife and serve
Unknown:your partner by figuring out this essential thing that you
Unknown:could do to move the ball forward to get closer to
Unknown:whatever your end goal is.
Unknown:A quick reminder, you can now get my book in four different
Unknown:ways. Head over to Amazon and search up I've got you
Unknown:girlfriend. The subtitle is Getting organized and living
Unknown:this mom life is not a solo mission. You can find it there
Unknown:on ereader. That's through the Kindle app, paperback,
Unknown:hardcover, and the audiobook. So if you're enjoying this podcast,
Unknown:I have a feeling you may love the audio book. Again, it's
Unknown:called I've got you, girlfriend, why getting organized and living
Unknown:this mom life is not a solo mission. Thanks so much for
Unknown:making it a best seller. And back to the show. Okay, so that
Unknown:is your essential your must do or your must have, let's just
Unknown:focus in on that for a second. What is it that you feel like
Unknown:you could do a small thing doesn't have to be a big step.
Unknown:Because here's the beauty of the three E's, you can do the first
Unknown:part of it and three simple steps. And then when you've
Unknown:accomplished those things, you then think, Okay, I did it. I
Unknown:did the first part. Let's pick three more things I can focus on
Unknown:next is the idea is not getting caught up in that overwhelm, and
Unknown:that stress of like, oh my gosh, I gotta create this big huge
Unknown:thing. I got to organize my whole entire house. Okay, or I
Unknown:got to share my gifts with the world, too. I start creating
Unknown:online courses, do I get a website? Do I get business
Unknown:cards? Do I start an email list? Do I start speaking to people?
Unknown:Do I write a book? And then you get stuck in the how? Right? So
Unknown:I want you to just think what is one simple step one simple
Unknown:thing, this essential thing that you can do to move the ball
Unknown:forward. Okay, next, I want you to think about the enhancement.
Unknown:This is something that's going to add style or value to that.
Unknown:Just take that in for a second. And you might be thinking like I
Unknown:don't even know that means add style or value. Remember when I
Unknown:said when I was talking about the organization process, and
Unknown:you might get really overwhelmed with that big huge purge, you
Unknown:simplify it right? You just take that bag with handles, and you
Unknown:just go throughout, you don't feel like you have to do your
Unknown:whole house, you pop into your kid's closet, and you're like,
Unknown:what are they not wearing anymore? Because they've
Unknown:outgrown or they just don't like McGraw that thing I'm gonna put
Unknown:in the back. And then oh, you know what, they outgrew those
Unknown:shoes, I'm gonna go ahead and grab those, or oh, you know what
Unknown:soccer season's over. And I know those shoes are not going to fit
Unknown:him or her next season. So I'm gonna go ahead and put those in.
Unknown:So that enhancement part is then sharing that with somebody else.
Unknown:So that those things that work that you just did isn't in vain,
Unknown:it's not just gonna then go to die, and nothing progresses from
Unknown:that. That's the thing about the three E's, you don't just want
Unknown:to be one and done. You want to be one. And then you want to be
Unknown:the second thing too, that's going to keep that forward
Unknown:momentum going. So whatever that might be for you. What is
Unknown:something that you think will complement what you just did
Unknown:that first step? What's something else you can do? And
Unknown:don't forget, it doesn't have to be big and huge to have great
Unknown:impact. All right, think about that. Whenever it came to that
Unknown:enhancement of the sharing that with someone else, donating it,
Unknown:popping it in the mail, or going and taking it to your
Unknown:girlfriend's gate and dropping it off out of her dog barks at
Unknown:you, okay, this very specific because this is what I do on the
Unknown:regular instead of at the gate, shoot her a text and be like,
Unknown:Hey, I dropped off another bag of stuff for your girls. Okay,
Unknown:so like, what is it that you could do to add style or value
Unknown:to that first step, and it doesn't have to be big. But if
Unknown:you can imagine that if I left those things after I did that
Unknown:good purge in my house, if I left those things in my garage
Unknown:floor, or in my trunk, and they rode around with me for two
Unknown:whole months, and they were in the way every time I popped it
Unknown:open to put some groceries in, you know, or put in like the
Unknown:folding chairs because we have to go to a volleyball event or
Unknown:it's a baseball game or you know what I'm saying? And like those
Unknown:bags that I should have donated or sent to my friend is there
Unknown:still back there? Keep moving the ball forward, go do that,
Unknown:enhance it, do that next step. What is it for you? Alright, and
Unknown:now, right, the third step, this is what is going to take this
Unknown:work that you have just done to a whole new level. This can be
Unknown:like the end and end product or it can be the first end, like
Unknown:the end of the first part of what you're going to do. Okay,
Unknown:so I use this example whenever I was writing my book, sounds
Unknown:crazy, but the essential for me was to open my dang laptop.
Unknown:Because what I knew is that I needed to simply sit myself down
Unknown:and get the ball rolling. I may not have known that day exactly
Unknown:what I was going to write about. I may not have known the title
Unknown:to the chapter, a little quote as input in the beginning or
Unknown:maybe some scripture reference that really stuck with me that
Unknown:inspired some different chapter or paragraph in that chapter. I
Unknown:didn't have to know all that. I just needed to do what I call
Unknown:the 1% rule. Well Well, let me be clear, I didn't invent the 1%
Unknown:rule. I've heard this from so many different people where they
Unknown:talk about getting 1% better. And I found a way to apply that
Unknown:to in this case, I'm just getting organized, which you can
Unknown:do that, I'll get back to that later. But in the 1% rule, I
Unknown:decided, You know what I'm going to do 1%, toward getting my book
Unknown:written, getting my book out in the world, guess what it is, I'm
Unknown:going to open my laptop, because once I opened my laptop, I'm
Unknown:going to start writing, even if writer's block comes, I decided
Unknown:I was just going to start brainstorming, I was just going
Unknown:to start putting things down, just that 1%, that forward
Unknown:motion, that was my essential, that's what I had to get done.
Unknown:Okay, and that worked. So what is 1% better in your life today,
Unknown:that you could start the ball rolling on this essential thing
Unknown:that you've got to get done, in order to have your gifts shared
Unknown:with the world. Think about that. The enhancement to that
Unknown:what's going to add style or value, when it comes to the book
Unknown:writing what it was, was actually packaging that up into
Unknown:this outline, creating this outline where I knew where I
Unknown:wanted to go with what my message was, if for you, you're
Unknown:writing a speech, you feel called to share something with
Unknown:somebody, maybe you're going to share your testimony at church,
Unknown:maybe you're going to stand up and you're going to pitch
Unknown:something in your office, or you're going to share something
Unknown:with your company, or you're going to have a family meeting,
Unknown:and you guys are going to talk about something that's really
Unknown:important you guys need to do whatever it is that you're
Unknown:focused on right now, you need to figure out what that next
Unknown:step is, that's going to complement that first one. And
Unknown:then that final part, that extra is really going to make it
Unknown:saying, Okay, what what is really going to be that like
Unknown:cherry on top, take it to a whole nother level. This is
Unknown:awesome. And I cannot stress to you enough, this does not have
Unknown:to be some massive, huge undertaking. All right, it can
Unknown:simply be what is that next step that's going to kind of button
Unknown:up that thing that we're working on. So that then we can move on
Unknown:to the next three steps. Alright, so that's the three E's
Unknown:philosophy, I want you to keep that in mind. Because as we go
Unknown:forward on these next episodes, and we're talking about
Unknown:different things that you can implement, or you're hearing
Unknown:these incredible speakers, I'm so excited about some of these
Unknown:speakers, I know our economy cannot wait, they have added
Unknown:style and value to my life. And I cannot wait to share their
Unknown:messages with you have them share these lessons that they've
Unknown:learned as they've pivoted through and stepped into this
Unknown:new calling step into these things, these, these gifts that
Unknown:they've had to share stepped into this. And they are going to
Unknown:share a lot of the ways that they have really leaned into
Unknown:that hard stuff that struggle, that total uncertainty, I want
Unknown:you to keep in mind when these things resonate with you, and
Unknown:you're hearing their stories and they start inspiring you to get
Unknown:out and share your message and your gifts with the world. I
Unknown:want you to think I'm not going to let overwhelm and self doubt
Unknown:and guilt and all that crazy stuff creep in, I'm going to
Unknown:keep it simple. I'm going to shoot for 1% better, I'm going
Unknown:to focus on what my essential next step is, even if it's
Unknown:little. And then when I do that, I'm going to figure out
Unknown:something that's going to complement that it's going to
Unknown:add style or value to what I just did. And I'm going to get
Unknown:that enhancement in there. Like I'm going to do that next step.
Unknown:And then I'm going to do that final thing that really gets me
Unknown:in the place that I need to be when writing that book. For me.
Unknown:It was getting help. It was asking for the help that I
Unknown:needed to move the ball forward in getting that book out into
Unknown:the world. I needed to have the editor, I needed to find the
Unknown:book coach, I needed to get that publisher who knew what they
Unknown:were doing, because I didn't know. And that's okay. I didn't
Unknown:know was the I don't know going to stop me from starting out
Unknown:with step one. And step two, no, let me just tell you, by the
Unknown:way,
Unknown:trying to figure out if I want to just like really go all the
Unknown:way in on it. I'm just gonna do it. I'm gonna say you might feel
Unknown:seriously under attack right now, you might seriously feel
Unknown:like these things that you want to accomplish that you are being
Unknown:called to do. You might be feeling like all these
Unknown:roadblocks are coming up for you. Let me just tell you as I
Unknown:am recording this podcast episode, I am coming off the
Unknown:heels of having COVID for a second time and losing my voice.
Unknown:I am coming off the heels of finding out this little baby
Unknown:tooth I've had for my entire life that's about 42 years old
Unknown:that she might need to come out and then I might need surgery.
Unknown:And I'm thinking oh my gosh, why is all this happening to me
Unknown:right now? I am trying to launch this big podcast that I feel so
Unknown:passionate about. I feel like I've got to be doing this. Why
Unknown:is something coming for me and trying to derail me literally
Unknown:taking my voice away, literally pulling a tooth out of my body
Unknown:and causing me to have to have surgery surgeries on my mouth to
Unknown:try to silence me. All right. Like, if you're feeling right
Unknown:now, like you have more to give and you desire more, and you
Unknown:just feel like it's roadblock after roadblock. And there are
Unknown:big decisions that you've got to make, I get it, you are not
Unknown:alone. And we're going to figure out how to move forward. And
Unknown:we're going to use three simple steps, we're gonna use the
Unknown:strategy. All right, not just a mom, not just an organizer, I am
Unknown:a strategist. And without sounding gross, and weird and
Unknown:vain, I'm just going to state that this is a gift that I have.
Unknown:I love a strategy. And it lights me up, to be able to have other
Unknown:people who are trying to figure out how to use their gifts and
Unknown:move forward. I love being able to chat with them and be like,
Unknown:let's put a strategy in place. Because somebody out there and
Unknown:maybe a lot of people out there, and maybe it's just your kids on
Unknown:the homefront, they need to hear what you have to offer, we're
Unknown:going to figure out a strategy to get you there. And we're
Unknown:going to keep it simple. Because we don't want to get
Unknown:overwhelmed, we want to get stressed. We're going to keep it
Unknown:really simple. And we're going to keep moving forward. So I
Unknown:hope the three E's are something that you're going to go back to
Unknown:time and time again and be like, Okay, I'm feeling overwhelmed.
Unknown:I'm feeling stress, deep breath, we're going to simplify. What is
Unknown:my essential? What is that first thing I need to do? 1% better,
Unknown:what can I do today to move the ball forward? Next, what's going
Unknown:to enhance that? What's the second step I can focus on? And
