The Power of Showing Up: How Discomfort Can Motivate Your Life Pivot

<p>Hey there, it's Sharon Bondurant. In my latest episode I discuss the importance of having a certain level of "pain" or discomfort that can serve to motivate you when making a pivot in your life.&nbsp;</p> <p>Can having a "plan B" hold you back and make it more difficult to fully commit to your goals? I'll share a personal story from when I started my recruiting firm over 25 years ago. I had&nbsp;<span style="text-decoration: underline;">no choice</span> but to show up and make it work. I'll talk about how I enlisted help and set strict timeframes to maximize my productivity.</p> <p>When making a pivot it's important to create a situation where the pain of failure is high enough to push you to fully commit to your goals.&nbsp;</p> <p>The importance of commitment and dedication when making a pivot in your life cannot be understated!</p> <p>Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoy this episode!</p> <p>Sharon</p>

From Procrastination to Action: Practical Advice to Get Things Done!

<p>As someone who struggles with procrastination, I know firsthand how easy it is to put things off until the last minute. On this episode I talk about four common reasons why people procrastinate:</p> <ul> <li>Fear of failure: Sometimes, we put off a task because we're afraid we won't do it well, or we'll fail altogether. This fear can be paralyzing!</li> <li>Lack of motivation: When we're not excited or invested in a task, it's easy to push it aside and prioritize other things.</li> <li>Overwhelm: When a task feels too big or complex, it can be overwhelming. But delaying action can make the task seem even more daunting over time.</li> <li>Perfectionism: If we hold ourselves to impossibly high standards, we may avoid starting a task. This can prevent you from making progress.</li> </ul> <p>To help overcome these obstacles, I give you some useful tools that can help you get motivated and stay on track!&nbsp;</p> <p>I talk about some time-management strategies such as setting specific goals, breaking down tasks, prioritizing, and creating a schedule.</p> <p>Thanks again for listening!</p> <p>Sharon</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
