Authentic: Inside&Out

Spring has sprung here in the SouthEast. Flowers are blooming, the sun is shining, and the leaves are returning to the trees.

Today is April 1 - the end of the first quarter! Can you believe how the time has flown by?

We want to encourage you to review your first quarter. We will have available a worksheet that will help you with all the quarters. It is important that you review what happened, so that you can plan for a better next quarter! During our Friday planning sessions, we focus on our goals and plans. Keeping track of those things are critical to the success of your business!

In March our focus was on productivity. However, we don't just stop now that March is over! We have a lot more to share on productivity!

This month, we will be focusing on all of our content pillars equally. So, stay tuned for more good stuff for April!

Have you ever had work that you absolutely hated? I think at some point in time, almost everyone can relate to that. As a matter of fact, up to 80% of people who work in 9-5 jobs hate what they do!

It's one of the biggest reasons that people want to start their own business. They want to do something that they love. And, when you LOVE what you do, it almost seems like it isn't work. When you find that "something", you can move mountains. Most of them anyway.

There are still things in business that must be done, and they are not always things that we love to do! If you find yourself not being productive because of "those" things, here are a couple of things you can do to get them done.

😘 Kiss it goodbye and find someone else to do it for you. You can look on Fiverr. You can find someone to do pretty much anything!

🐸 Have you ever heard the expression "Eat the biggest frog first"? My mentor, Zig Ziglar used to say that. That means get the hardest thing, the thing you really don't want to do - first. Get it out of the way!

👭 Get a buddy. Doing things with someone makes it a lot easier. That's how Fran and I came together. She has strengths that I don't, and vice versa. And, you have accountability and support.

Love what you do. It makes life much sweeter. 💖

If you are a female entrepreneur, you know that you wear MANY hats! Not only a business hat, but if we are being honest, a Mom Hat, a House Manager Hat, a Wife Hat, etc, etc. It can be pretty exhausting!

So, how to stay productive?
1. Plan your days, weeks, months
2. Focus on the most important tasks.
3. Develop a system that works for YOU.
4. If it is not moving your towards your goal(s), say NO!

Taking the first step is often the hardest part, but it's also the most crucial. 🚀 Every great journey starts with a single step, so don't be afraid to begin. Once you start, momentum will build, and you'll find yourself moving closer to your goals with every stride.

Seize the moment, and start now! 💪

Are you a female entrepreneur? Come join us this Wednesday for a free class on productivity! It’s going to be amazing! 🔥🚀🔥🚀

Here is a post I just made in the Membership Community for Authentic Inside and Out. If you don't know what that is, we are an online community for female entrepreneurs, mostly network marketers. We focus on 1. Mindset, Productivity, Personal Branding and Social Media and Health and Wellness.

Yesterday I was at Food Lion, and as I was checking out there was a man in front of me. He was probably late '50's maybe early "60's. He had just put his card in for payment, and his phone fell on the floor. Not missing a beat, he reached down, picked it up and said "it's just not my day!".

I could not believe what I just heard! You are going to base your ENTIRE day on the action of your phone falling to the floor? Really?

This is a perfect example of a fixed mindset. It's like the Universe presented that to me on a silver platter. LOL! Seriously though, many people actually do think that way. One little insignificant thing, and their entire day is ruined.

The reality is that today is the best day you will ever have. You have already had days when maybe you were actually very successful, and you thought it was the best day ever! But, yesterday was yesterday. Tomorrow isn't here. Today. That's what you have. No more - no less. And, YOU get to decide! Are you going to let one little thing, that you won't even remember by the time you go to bed, set the course of your day? You see, when you say something like "well, it's just not my day", you are telling your subconscious and the universe, that you are just going to expect it to NOT be your day. Instead of just saying "whoops" (or literally nothing) and just pick up your phone and move on!

We need to really be careful of what we say to ourselves, and to other people. Little things really do make a big difference. Thoughts are things, and they have more power than you or I could possibly imagine.

Do you find yourself saying little things like that sometimes ? (and it's ok if you do, because we ALL do) What are some of those things? Drop them in the comments.

Let's talk about it!

One of the things that will transform your mindset is gratitude. Practicing gratitude on a daily basis is a sure fire way to keep your mindset positive.

One of my favorite ways to do this is by keeping a gratitude journal. Try this: Every morning write down 5 things you are grateful for, write down the names of 3 people that have harmed you in some way, and 1 thing you can do for someone that day. 💝

This practice will absolutely change your mindset! Try it and let us know how it worked for you.

We are talking about Mindset all long in the Authentic Inside and Out Community. We are applying mindset to all of our content pillars: Productivity, Personal Branding and Social Media Marketing, and Health and Wellness.

Coming up soon in the community is our Action Focused Class - all about Mindset!

We also have a MasterClass on Mindset that is transforming! 🌹

Mindset and Health and Wellness!

Your mindset is like a compass that guides you on your journey, and your health and wellness is the fuel that keeps you moving forward. So, just like you would use the best possible fuel for your automobile, you want to use the best possible fuel for your body.

Your body is your greatest asset. Without a healthy body, you don't perform to the best of your ability. Nourish it with wholesome foods, move daily, and make time for self-care rituals that replenish your spirit. Your well-being is a non-negotiable on your path to success!

Success is not all about the hustle and grind. It is about finding harmony between ambition and self-care, between pushing yourself and giving yourself grace. It is very important to prioritize both your business goals and your well-being.

Mindset is an important part of health and wellness. Positive affirmations, a health and wellness vision board, accountability, and other techniques can help you stay on track.

We will be diving in a little deeper with some ideas to get your mindset going in a positive direction.

What is something YOU do to keep a positive mindset for your health?

All of February we will be focusing on Mindset. It's all about your thoughts and your beliefs. What do you believe about yourself and your business?

One way to improve mindset is to surround yourself with a supportive network of like-minded individuals. A strong support system can provide encouragement especially in challenging times. That is one of the great things about our online community! We empower and guide women on their journey.

What kind of support system do you have?
