Don’t force the fit! In today’s podcast I talk about how you can’t force if something just isn’t working for you at work, on a project or in a networking meeting. All I can say is, don’t force the fit. Listen in for tips on how to make it work OR know when it’s time to walk away. Link in bio.

There’s no such thing as perfect.
In this week’s podcast I talk about how striving for perfection sets you up for failure. Failure is in your own mind because the outside world will likely never know you weren’t perfect. I talk about how perfectionism leads to procrastination and how nobody is perfect.
I’d love to know if you push forward even if you think something isn’t “perfect”?

#ThisNotThat
Getting out of vour comfort zone can get you out of a rut. Why not just try something new and see if that pushes you forward.
Don't say this: You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
Say this: There is no reason I can't learn something new.
Don't say this: What if I try it and don't like it?
Say this: If I try it and don't like it I don't have to stick with it BUT at least I stepped out of my comfort zone.
Don't say this: I'm afraid to try something new.
Say this: I've had a lot of "firsts."
Some worked, some didn't but I gave it a shot.
When is the last time you tried something new?

I love the quote, “She thought she could, so she did.” It’s a motivating thought for me.
Don’t say this: I’ll never be able to do that, or achieve that!
Say this: I won’t know if I can achieve that goal unless I try!
Don’t say this: What if someone thinks this plan is ridiculous?
Say this: My value isn’t tied up in someone’s opinion or acceptance of me and my ideas.
Don’t say this: I need to say yes to everything for everyone to like me.
Say this: Before I say yes I ask myself, “Is this contributing to my best life?” If so, then I happily agree. If not, I politely say, “thanks, but no thanks.”
Do you listen to your own thoughts before you agree to something or try something new?
