Welcome to Our Life

by Michelle | Jan 26, 2019 | Everything Else, In the Home, In the Office, In the Studio

Looking for something!

WHAT DO YOUR DAYS FEEL LIKE? Today I attended the WHAT DO YOUR DAYS FEEL LIKE? Today I attended the Leadership Summit - Women in Finance 2021. I got to listen to some inspiring women and meet some wonderful women in the networking sessions. And had a mind & notepad full of takeaways. I know it was a Friday, but these are the days in my business that always make days feel like Friday’s. When I get to connect with other likeminded women, get to talk about what I do, why I do it, what’s my purpose, and who I help. It lights me up! Make sure you are living with passion or working towards changing things so that you are. If you don’t know what that looks like, reach out and we can connect and have a chat. Who knows what you future may hold! #womeninbusiness #leadershipsummit #womeninfinance #businessinheels #businesscoach #lifecoach #productivitycoach #goalplanning #ruralwomeninbusiness

EDIT AND TAKE TWO It was an editing kind of day f EDIT AND TAKE TWO It was an editing kind of day for me today. Yesterday I sat down and recorded all the lessons for my new course Goal Planning like a Queen. I was super impressed at my skill with technology and it was my first time doing this. But then when I watched the recording realised when I was sharing my screen it hasn’t swapped to a second shared document. 🤦🏻‍♀️ So take two today for two of the videos and editing of them all. Very happy with the results and excited to package up my course and get it out into the world. So if you struggle with being overwhelmed at an endless To-Do list not knowing where to start or what task is more important then the next, then this is the course for you!!!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY One of the best and most challe HAPPY MOTHERS DAY One of the best and most challenging roles in my life is that as a mother. Nothing is every guaranteed, no instruction book, just plenty of moments thinking you are stuffing it up yet filled with so much love. These are my four proudest achievements in my life. I raised four strong independent children each different to the other. I think one of the hardest things as a mother is sitting back and watching a child go through their own hurdles and not being able to make all their pain go away or fix all their problems like you could when they were tiny. But my children never cease to amaze me, they are resilient and full of love and I am proud that they are mine. ❤️ #motherday #proudmum #mumpreneur #loveformychildren #mumbusiness #ruralwomen
WHY 500 EXCITES ME! Too many "influencers" on IG, WHY 500 EXCITES ME! Too many "influencers" on IG, 500 is a daily increase in their followers. But for me, it is hand-picked people that I can help in their business and life to make a difference, and people that I can genuinely connect with. So often people get stuck on getting huge numbers, but for me, if I can help one extra person this week to become 1% better than last week then that is success in my eyes! So thank you to all my followers. I will provide you with some great tips along the way.

IS PROCRASTINATION KILLING YOUR PRODUCTIVITY? I k IS PROCRASTINATION KILLING YOUR PRODUCTIVITY? I know what it's like! Notification goes off, you decide to clink and see what it is, next you know you go down the rabbit hole for the next 45 minutes because you really didn't know what you sat down at your computer to do in the first place. It's easy these days with so many distractions in our lives to get so sidetracked on "shiny" things because we are really procrastinating and avoiding doing other things. But what causes procrastination in the first place? Most of the time it comes down to not having a plan, or not having a clear plan. We might have made it to have a to-do list for the day, but the list is so vague that it has items like - create a blog post that gives us no starting direction and plenty of time staring at a blank page on the screen or scrolling social media instead. My top tip to avoid procrastination is to have a clear plan with an outcome. e.g Write a blog post about How Procrastination is killing my Productivity Fail to plan, is planning to fail. Don't be that person that looks back at their day and achieves next to nothing and now has to work into the night to get all the other "must do's" done.

ARE YOU RUNNING YOUR BUSINESS LIKE A CEO This is ARE YOU RUNNING YOUR BUSINESS LIKE A CEO This is the end to my week. A walk with the dog to look at the gorge near to home while listening to a podcast. I live in a rural village of 100 and run my business remotely. And thanks to technology and my organisation skills this can easily be done. Today I’ve had a coaching session via zoom, some online training, a virtual coffee date with a women’s networking group, and I’ve starting working on my new website and planning my new course I’m launching very soon. One essential thing I do every week is have a CEO date with myself. It’s a recurring meeting I have set up and the time blocked out. This entails reviewing my past week, what went well, what didn’t, a review of my main goals for that month and then I plan my next week, scheduling key tasks I need to get done to reach my next milestone. This all avoids that awful thing called Procrastinating. If I know what I have to do that day I get in and get it done, otherwise I’d fluff around forever. If you need a hand to get organised in your business or life, DM me and we can have a chat! #ceodate #procrastinating #procrastination #ruralwomen #womeninbusiness #womencreate #teachable #asana #businesscoaching #lifecoaching #productivitycoach #michellehearnecoaching
PREVENTION NOW IS BETTER THAN FIXING IT LATER I h PREVENTION NOW IS BETTER THAN FIXING IT LATER I have a confession...... Last week after a filing dropped out of my tooth followed by two parts of my tooth breaking off I went to the dentist for the first time in many years. Today as I laid in the chair getting two teeth filled (with still a few more cavities to tend to) I realised that the dentist has a few things in common with business. If we ignore things in our mouth over time it will require a lot of work, however, if we stuck to the brush twice a day, floss daily, don’t consume too many sugary drinks and get a check up every six month then we can prevent problems before they are too big (like my broken tooth) and it also costs more. In business we need to also look after certain things regularly or they get out of hand and it becomes a huge job or problem. Like your bookkeeping. If you stick your receipts and invoices in a shoebox for the year and then drop them to your accountant to deal with, you will most likely end up with many questions and a big bill. Instead you could pay a small monthly subscription to a cloud based software like #xero where your bank feeds in your transactions daily, you can code it regularly, you know how your business is travelling and you can pass on your bookwork to your accountant at the end of the year organised where you will save money. Sometimes spending a little upfront is a huge saving later. #productivitycoach #productivitycoaching #businesscoaching #lifecoaching #womeninbusiness #turalwomeninbusiness #womenentrepreneurs #michellehearnecoaching #xeroadvisor #xero
