Sleep Deprived? How It's Affecting Your Performance!
[[:encoded, "Sleep deprivation and the resultant tiredness can have a significant impact on your performance. With the stressful and demanding routines we all have, catching eight hours of sleep often becomes a challenge. While we try to make up for that with energy drinks and loads of caffeine, the temporary kick does nothing to improve our performance. \n\nIf you thought your slacking performance was a lack of skills and not from the effect of not sleeping well, then you may need to rethink. \n\nImpact of Sleep Deprivation on Your Performance\n\nWe’re living in an always working and hyper-connected world. Due to this culture, we spend more waking hours at work, which has a detrimental effect on the quality and quantity of our sleep. Several studies have explored the damaging consequences of a lack of sleep among professionals, especially business owners and they all conclude the same thing. \n\nThe findings prove that sleep deprivation can ultimately hinder our ability to perform at optimum levels at work. It also has devastating emotional and physical side effects that ruin work performance and personal lives as well as our health. \n\nAll in all, it is safe to say that if you’re not sleeping well and enough, you are on the path of self-destruction. Let’s take a look at several ways your lack of quality sleep can be affecting your performance. \n\n1. Low Productive Capacity of Sleep-Deprived Business Owners \nBy not sleeping sufficiently and soundly, you make way for a major loss of productivity and quality of work. It worsens your working relationships and causes significant gaps in your communication, learning, growth, and concentration. \n\nA sleep-deprived entrepreneur develops multiple negative attributes, including a short-temper, memory lapses, declined problem-solving ability, and more. When you go to work in a state of sleep deprivation, you’re not in the best disposition and are more prone to reactionary outbursts and moodiness. \n\nYou must note that when your temper and reactionary outbursts occur too frequently on your behalf, it sours your work relationships. This has a ripple effect, and the bitterness in working relationships keeps spreading till it impacts your entire organization. Clearly, that is never a good thing for your business and team members, and can even lead to grave consequences like contract termination with clients, loss of a potential clients, and losing good team members, etc. \n\nThere are multiple serious problems sleep depriUnlock a blueprint to creating and having your ideal business and ideal life by scheduling your free consultation with me today!

Interview with Margie Walker, CARES Act Consultant
[[:encoded, "Margie Walker is going to share her valuable insight about helping business owners access funds that are tucked away in the CARES Act that you might be eligible for. Time is of the essence on this if you are business owner!!\n\nMargie Walker has spent the last 20 years helping small businesses grow. The CARES Act was put in place to help business navigate these bumpy waters. Most people know about the PPP loan aspect of this Act, but there is more underneath the surface. Changes have opened up extra funds that no one is talking about that business owners are eligible for, even if they got a PPP loan. She is focusing 100% on helping business owners who don’t know about these funds and the clock is ticking. Once these funds are gone anyone who would have been eligible for them has missed their chance. So, I know you are going to want to pay close attention to what Margie has to say, so you can take advantage of funds you might be eligible for as quickly as possible. \n \nHere are a few of the questions I asked Margie that you will benefit from by listening to her interview:\n\n•\tJust so we are all on the same page, please explain a bit about the CARES Act.\n•\tI’m curious, what are these funds that are hidden away in the CARES Act?\n•\tWho is eligible for these funds?\n•\tWhat about if you already got a PPP loan? Does that knock you out of the running for these hidden funds?\n•\tHow are these funds different than PPP funds?\n•\tWhy hasn’t my CPA or Bookkeeper told me about these funds?\n•\tIs it complicated to get these funds?\n•\tWhat is the timeline for getting these funds?\n•\tHow do people, like me, find out how much they can get back, and as quickly as possible?\n\nGo to https://localrecoveryrefund.com/ today and see if you qualify for these funds. It is free to see if you qualify, so do it now before the funds run out.\n\nIf you qualify, leverage the CPAs who specialize in getting you your rebate, so you don't have to figure out the maze of the ERC program. These specialized CPA's will assess your eligibility and let you know the amount of your rebate check. All you have to do is fill out a short questionnaire on the website and upload some documents you get from your CPA or Bookkeeper. We take it from there. If you have W2 employees, please do this as quickly as possible and get your rebate.\n\nYou can find my interview with Margie Walker at https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/my-podcast/, https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/accountabilitycoach.com/Unlock a blueprint to creating and having your ideal business and ideal life by scheduling your free consultation with me today!

8 of The Best Weekend Habits to Improve Your Productivity
[[:encoded, "Weekends are generally seen as the time of the week when you can relax and refresh yourself. This also serves as the much-needed rest from long hours, unbearable traffic, and strained brainpower during the week.\n\nThough weekends are to be used for rest and rejuvenation, cultivating the right habits during these few days can help you perform even better when working in your business during the week.\n\nMany successful entrepreneurs and businesspeople have tapped into the value of cultivating productive habits and skills that cross the lines of their personal and business worlds. \n\nLet’s explore 8 of the best weekend habits to improve your productivity.\n\n1. Unplug and Disconnect\nAfter a whole week of staring at electronics for hours on end, you may feel as though your weekends should have you glued to your devices. No. It shouldn’t. \n\nDuring the week, you have already spent so much time in front of your laptops, smartphones, desktops, and tablets. You have responded to emails, messages, and snuck a few late nights diving into social media too.\n\nTake a break from your devices during the weekend. Spend time with people around you, read a book, meditate, work out, and relax. \n\nWhen your body and brain are refreshed, you can perform to the best of your ability and be even more productive.\n\n2. Maintain Morning Routines\nWhen successful people get up early during the week, it extends to their weekends too. To be more productive, maintain your morning routine. Get up early, plan your day, and follow it through if you don't have a morning routine.\n\nWhen you tackle everything that may be time-consuming in the mornings, you build a habit that improves your productivity tremendously.\n\n3. Take Things One at a Time\nWeekends are the best time to try and multitask in order to get things done you don’t have time to do during the week. Everyone gets extremely tempted to multitask during the weekend in order to get as much done as possible. You may want to run on the treadmill while scrolling through social media or your newsfeed.\n\nPlease stop doing this. Instead, immerse yourself in every activity. If you are working out, be present in mind and body. Commit to each activity, and you’ll be able to run a mile longer, read 3 more chapters, or meditate for one more hour.\n\nWhen you are present for every task, you can be fully refreshed when you go back to work on Monday. \n\n4. Have a Plan\nJust because it is the weekend doesn’t mean that you should tUnlock a blueprint to creating and having your ideal business and ideal life by scheduling your free consultation with me today!

5 Ways to Manifest Confidence in Yourself
[[:encoded, "Confidence. Some people have it aplenty. Others struggle to be and act confident. Others of us are in the middle of the road; we are confident in certain situations, and in others we take a backseat because we don’t trust ourselves enough to embrace confidence. \n\nHaving self-confidence is important in our personal and in our professional lives. Many of us, however, struggle to find it and use it. When you struggle with confidence, you find you continue to struggle to pull forth your self-confidence, and this lack of confidence can make it difficult for you to success or to inspire others toward success. \n\nWhen you’re self-confident, you feel good about yourself and your body responds by secreting hormones that give you a further boost. One way to boost confidence is to recall a time when you were at your most confident – that will help! \n\nWhen you feel self-conscious, your confidence will lag. Determine why you’re self-conscious and take the necessary steps to alleviate that feeling. Learn more, take charge, talk with someone to help you gain confidence, so you can move forward. \n\nLet’s explore five ways to help you build your self-confidence even more.\n \n1.\tBe aware of how you talk to yourself. If you criticize yourself and your actions, your confidence suffers. Challenge any assumptions you have, determine where you are, and in what circumstances you criticize yourself. Find ways to treat yourself to better self-talk. \n\n2.\tKeep a “negativity journal.” This may seem counterintuitive, but stick with me. When you feel negative about yourself or your abilities, write it down. Look at what you’ve written and determine whether it’s true. For example: I can’t talk in front of a group. Is that true? Of course, you CAN talk in front of a group, but you may be nervous or anxious about talking in front of a group. That is a different task entirely. Once you write down your self-defeating belief, you can move forward and find a way to defeat it. If you’re nervous to talk in front of a group, join Toastmasters, for example. Start small and practice on friends or colleagues. When you have to talk in front of a group, choose a topic about which you are fully confident. \n\n3.\tHow do others see you? Do people come to you and ask for your advice? Do they seek your help with projects? When you’re dealing with low self-esteem and your confidence is lagging, write down your skills and those areas in which you are an expert. This will help you build confidUnlock a blueprint to creating and having your ideal business and ideal life by scheduling your free consultation with me today!

6 Tips to Keep Moving Toward Your Goals
[[:encoded, "Have you ever been driving and realized just a bit too late that you missed your exit? Have you ever traveled somewhere just to find that you’ve seen the same street corner three times, and you realize you’ve been going in circles? Perhaps you took the wrong turn because you were distracted by your favorite song on the radio. Or maybe your GPS routed you the wrong way. These inconveniences can be enough to forget why you started in the first place! You might veer off course or give up altogether and go home. As a business owner, these same annoyances can crop up when working to achieve your goals.\n\nHow you approach your goals isn’t that different from traveling! Your motivation is the fuel that powers you and gives you the focus and follow-through. Let’s explore six mile-markers, or tips, to help you stay on course from start to finish.\n\nMile Marker #1: Goals vs. Values\nLet’s take a closer look at this traveling analogy: if a goal is like a destination, then your values are the reason to hit the road. If you don’t know why you’re traveling to a destination, it’ll make it much harder to get there. \n\nNo matter the venture, make sure that you understand why you’re pursuing your goals. Check that your sales align with your core principles and values.

More and more, visualization is vital for achieving goals. While you don’t have to break out glue or clippings for a vision board, having a clear image in your mind is crucial to jumpstart your motivation. Taking some quality time to look inward and imagine reaching your goal can hone your focus and keep you feeling inspired to follow through. \n\nVisualizing can be the tools or methods that help you maintain motivation. Tools like calendars, Gantt charts, or spreadsheets can give you a literal vision of a goal and your progress. This also keeps your motivation burning strong.\n\nMile Marker #3: Make Pit Stops\nEven long-haul truckers need to rest and refuel. In the same way, break your goals down into smaller parts to keep your energy up. When you break a massive goal down, it also feels less daunting and more manageable. It gives you a chance to celebrate the progreUnlock a blueprint to creating and having your ideal business and ideal life by scheduling your free consultation with me today!
