Made to Thrive Podcast

In today’s episode of Made to Thrive, Kim Walsh Philips talks about establishing your pleasure and leverage triggers. Set a goal that you want to complete in 4-weeks. Next, figure out what your reward will be if you GET the task done. Will you go to the spa? Or eat some chocolate? Next, establish your leverage trigger, too. What will you DO if you DON’T get your goal accomplished in four weeks? Will you dump paint on your car? Will you cut your beard off? Find BOTH your pleasure and leverage triggers.

0:21 – Welcome!

0:27 – I am incredibly blessed to run this inner circle of people who are mostly entrepreneurs. These are people that are working towards scaling their business. They have to work on their messaging, working on their landing page, and more! It’s definitely a process. It doesn’t happen overnight. There are coaching calls and a retreat at the end of the year. At the end of the retreat, we encouraged them to find the ONE thing that they want to accomplish in the next four weeks. They have to pick ONE thing to focus on.

2:02 – It’s good to celebrate your small victories. We went around the room and shared our pleasure triggers. Some of the answers were going to dinner, getting a pedicure, going for a hike, etc.

3:20 – Pick, also, your leverage if you DON’T get it done. Sometimes we are triggered by the reward, but sometimes we are triggered by a consequence. For example dye your hair purple, cut your surfboard in half, cutoff your beard. Have accountability.

5:06 – You can go extreme with your leverage trigger or be subtler.

2:28 – Go and do it, and you will be partially there!

2:46 – You don’t have the right to do that anymore to yourself.

2:58 – This is true for any of your big dreams. For example: writing that book, or talking at a webinar.

3:18 – It’s a different way of looking at it. You have to start the task in order to achieve your goals. Don’t allow yourself to be paused in a state of trying to be “perfect” – there is no such thing!

In today’s episode of Made to Thrive, Kim Walsh Philips talks about changing poor habits to good habits! We are creatures of routine and when you change that routine, your mind might not like it at first. That’s okay! If you take away a puppy’s daily treat, will it be happy on day one or day two? No, because it was used to that daily treat. However! You decided not to give the puppy the snack, anymore, because health-wise it wasn’t the best for it; same for your life. Choose a lifestyle and habits that will help serve you towards your big goals!

0:21 – Welcome!

0:25 – Today’s topic: Let’s change some bad habits. Perhaps not snacking at nighttime and instead workout. Limit your time on social media, so you are not comparing yourself to others as much.

1:04 – It’s hard to make changes because your brain is used to a certain lifestyle and now you’ve changed the routine. Of course, it will be hard!

1:10 – Kim gives an example of a puppy. Listen here!

1:46 – Changing habits can be hard! Keep pushing yourself forward, and know that you haven’t given up! When you get those feelings, take a pause, and smile because that means you are headed in the right direction!

2:57 – When we stay in this wishy-washy state we are not using God’s given talents that He gave us. Make the next step and schedule it in your calendar!

0:21 – Welcome!

0:27 – What do you do when you have a pause?

1:07 – Of course, I didn’t choose my flight delay or traffic.

1:27 – I had some gaps in my recording sessions for the podcast. I chose to come back to recording after that small gap in my schedule.

2:16 – This is NOT true: “If it’s not perfect – why bother to do it at all?!”

2:23 – There will be lapses of time in our schedule and our productivity.

2:31 – You don’t stop! You keep making progress! I don’t care if your gap is a few hours/days/months/years. It doesn’t matter!

In today’s episode of Made to Thrive, Kim Walsh Philips talks about when you should complete certain tasks. There are low and high-energy times of the day for everyone. Consider completing the harder tasks during a time when you are inspired, thriving, and focused. The opposite, then, is true for the easier tasks. Complete these tasks when you have the least amount of energy. Check out today’s episode for all of the details!

0:21 – Welcome!

0:25 – It’s okay to do the easy things that bring you joy! Not all of your work has to be hard!

0:55 – Listen to past episodes on the “Power Hour!”

1:05 – There are other times of the day where people are least productive. My least productive time is around 2:00 P.M. This is the time that I will NOT schedule things that drain my energy. I want to be super focused on my high priority tasks, so I complete those during my power hour!

1:51 – In the morning, during my power hour, I WANT to do the easy things but I MUST complete the tasks that are energy consuming!

In today’s episode of Made to Thrive, Kim Walsh Philips talks about you working on yourself! As you are improving yourself, there might come a time when the people in your life don’t jump onboard. Don’t worry! This has nothing to do with you and your choices. You are working towards your big goals and Kim advises that you focus on just that. The people in your life may feel reluctant to the changes, because they didn’t ask for change. Don’t judge or nag them, just let them be. When they see how the positive change in your life is making you more joyful, then it will be contagious and they may hop on board, too!

0:21 – Welcome!

0:25 – Today’s Topic: What To Do If They Won’t Change With You?

0:30 – You are setting new to-do lists and this can cause a lot of flack with the different people in your life. Maybe the people in your life weren’t ready for this change.

1:09 – Just like brand new Christians who have a passion to tell others about their new faith!

1:26 – I have a strong Christian faith. When you are in the mountaintop experience not everyone will jump onboard.

1:56 – They didn’t ask for the change. If they come to you with negative commentary it’s not about you, it’s their own insecurities.

2:29 – Like when going to dinner and someone orders a huge cheesecake. But! If you don’t order it, too, then they question your order choice of ordering a salad instead.

3:23 – We are normalized when everyone is acting the same.

3:39 – You are just having a salad?! It has nothing to do with you, if they make such a comment.

3:56 – It’s not your job to change them, but your job is to show them love!

4:25 – What do you do instead? Work on a positive mindset.

4:35 – Kim walks you through the dinner experience at a restaurant. Your order is: sparkling water, and a chicken salad. If your spouse asks you “why” you just say, “this makes me feel good.” You can continue saying, “I like being with you, but this is my food order choice tonight.” There is no judgment there, but you are stating what works well for you.

5:50 – What you can do is work on yourself. By you working on YOU, they will see the joy and health that you have, and they might want the same for themselves, too!

6:54 – Be an inspiration, not a nag. Make people want what YOU have! This way they are making their own choice and you aren’t forcing them to change with you.

In today’s episode of Made to Thrive, Kim Walsh Philips talks about getting advice from the right people. Talk to people who have walked the walk that you are pursuing.

Take guidance from the people you admire and who have succeeded in the field in which you want to succeed in. Check out today’s episode for more details!

0:21 – Welcome!

0:27 – Who do you listen to? Everyone has an opinion, but should you take their advice? Check it out! Take advice from people that you’d want to change places with. If a person’s life is a hot mess, why would you want to hear their advice?

1:14 – The same goes for running a business.

1:34 – We can seek feedback, but only get advice from the people who you’d want to change places with.

1:43 – Another example! When you want to get advice, get the advice from someone who has ACTUALLY done the thing that you want to accomplish. This will save you tons of time. They were the ones who figured out how to succeed, so take their advice.

3:08 – I have single, married, divorced friends. I talk to them about my life, but I am not going to talk to my best friend who is single about raising kids. I will talk to my mom who is married and has raised her children in a wonderful way.

1:50 – I am not making up my schedule as I am going along. I have it written down in advance!

2:01 – I am constantly talking to my “friend” Shelia who is always trying to get me to binge on Bravo. I don’t want to flake out on my friend, so I have to show up.

2:49 – I told my mom that I was going to go out on my run. I have to report back to her and that is accountability. I don’t want to lie or cheat the system.

3:13 – Plan it. Schedule it. Set the time and date.

3:28 – If you want to write “X” amount of pages, make sure your computer is charged and ready to go before you sit down.

1:34 – There are psychology issues behind my weight gains.

2:17 – There is this concept of the flaky friend.

2:40 – This is the person that always stands you up. After three-times-in-a-row, you won’t make plans with that person anymore. That’s exactly what we do to ourselves when we make a commitment to something and we don’t do it! Mic drop!

3:12 – At times, I am a better friend to others than to myself. How many times did I make an excuse not to go running, stating that I was too tired? If a friend wouldn’t put up with my standing them up, why should I stand for it when I do it to myself?

3:48 – What about you? Organizing the house before the school year? Writing a book? What part

4:09 – I am this alter ego and her name is Sheila! Sheila would follow-up on payments, manage my calendar, and much more! I use Sheila’s name when I am trying to flake out on my plans. I have this internal dialogue with Sheila and ask: “Will I flake out on Sheila, again?!”

In today’s episode of Made to Thrive, Kim Walsh Philips talks about feeling overwhelmed. Kim advises that you always have a choice in whether you complete a task or not. You are in complete control of your time and of your day. Choose wisely the tasks that you want to complete because your time is a precious resource. Get over the “overwhelm” blues, today, by listening to today’s episode!

0:21 – Welcome!

0:28 – How many times have you said: “I feel overwhelmed...” or “I don’t have time?”

0:48 – Think about the word “overwhelmed.” This word is just a thought that we can 100% change if we choose to do so. We can manage these feelings to have more control in our lives.

1:36 – Sure, sometimes we take on more responsibilities than we’d like to complete. If this is the case, try and figure out if there are some things you can “let go” of or identify whether or not it’s the season you happen to be in.

1:50 – Try to have the mentality of choice rather than obligation.

2:15 – If you have taken off too much then you can chew, then that’s a sign that you might need to prioritize in the future.

3:40 – Is there an end date to when this will be over?

3:49 – I go back to the data when I am feeling overwhelmed. The data gets me grounded and I can see things clearly.

3:57 – I use my “Made to Thrive Planner.” Check it out here!

4:22 – Kim talks about how she organizes her time.

4:38 – I need to add in some “wiggle” room into the schedule because life happens and you don’t plan on taking your child to the doctor.

5:14 – Being overwhelmed is just a thought. You have a choice throughout your day whether you complete or don’t complete a task. You, my friend, were made to thrive!

In today’s episode of Made to Thrive, Kim Walsh Philips walks you through a meditation. Kim expresses how she was hurt badly in the past from a business partner who betrayed her. At the time, Kim felt a lot of pain and hurt but in hindsight, she is thankful for that experience. She realized that it was God allowed for it to happen in her life, in order to get Kim on the right path. Not just any path, but the path that God chose for Kim. He can do the same for you! Check out today’s episode to hear Kim’s insightful advice.

0:21 – Welcome!

0:29 – Let’s go to a listener’s review. Kim reads it here – check it out! If you want your review possibly read on air, you can go to iTunes and subscribe, rate, and review.

1:29 – Today, we are going to give thanks for something that didn’t go well this past year.

2:04 – Kim shares a past personal experience that happened to her.

2:47 – My work wife, Kelley, was a great support for me during a rough time during my life. A time in my life where I felt betrayed and sabotaged. Now, in hindsight, I realized that this season was something from God and I am so thankful for the experience. God took these clients (who were underpaying us) out of my hands in order for me to fulfill my purpose.

5:34 – My true calling in life is talking to you all. My tribe.

5:44 – I have no sadness or ill will for this person because I have complete peace about it now. Trust me, it was a process to get to this level of understanding and gratitude.

6:10 – Think of a time in the past year that didn’t go the way you wanted it to go. Thank God for having this moment handed to you.

6:40 – Kim walks you through a meditation. Take a big, deep breath and think about that moment and thank God for it. Picture the moment and place that moment inside of a box that is wrapped beautifully. This box has a big, red satin bow on it and God hands you the box! You open the box, you pull on the ribbon, and it becomes to unravel. You ask God, “Why would you let this happen to me, Lord?” He says, “This is to allow you to be the person you’re meant to be!”

8:56 – Say: “God, thank you for creating that moment so I could grow. Thank you for the outcomes, and the people that came out of that moment.”

Tie the ribbon around your wrist so you can remember that you let go of your feelings surrounding the moment, and to remember how you’ve grown! Resources Mentioned:

In today’s episode of Made to Thrive, Kim Walsh Philips talks about who you should and shouldn’t listen to for advice. Talk with the people who have accomplished the goals you have set out for yourself.

0:21 – Welcome!

0:28 – Topic: Who’s advice do you take? This could be a possible game changer.

0:42 – My husband is probably the one person who hears my hopes and dreams the most. He is an amazing man who is great at his job. Sometimes, though, he doesn’t quite see my vision and that is okay! He is not my target audience.

1:51 – Our tribes are different, and he is not in my target market. I am a storyteller, but he is not! He is a great soundboard, but I cannot let his next decision for my path influence me too much.

2:31 – I was not created to create things for him. I was created to create content for YOU!

2:40 – Are you serving THE people that you are meant to serve?

2:53 – If you want to write a book, go talk to an author. If you want to run a marathon, go talk to an athlete.

3:13 – Talk to people who have walked the path that you want to walk!

3:35 – Do the research, but at the end of the day go with your gut! That is by no mistake – that is your God given talent!

0:21 – Welcome to today’s show!

0:27 – Today’s Topic: Self Growth

1:41 – Kim talks about her church and this past week’s sermon. The pastor interviewed Sheryl Sandberg through Facebook and talked about her new book, “Option B.” Kim was taking notes like crazy!

2:15 – When we go through something traumatic we have these huge opportunities to make a change! Isn’t that a great way to perceive the situation?

3:01 – Growth opportunities for Sheryl: 1.) Closer to her children 2.) Prays more 3.) More in-tune with the community

In today’s episode of Made to Thrive, Kim Walsh Philips talks about what we perceive versus actual data. When working towards your goal, check the hard facts. Data does not lie. Sometimes our brain may perceive that we are on-course towards our goal, but what do the facts say? Check out today’s episode to hear all about it!

1:09 – Topic for today: “Real vs. Our Reality”

1:15 – When it comes to REAL we tend not to like it. My daughter’s favorite restaurant is Chili’s and we usually go twice a month. We go when she has achieved a goal. Looking at the menu we see the calorie count. I can’t trick myself into getting something “healthy” like a salad that is 1,200 calories. It’s not “healthy” anymore and the facts prove it.

2:37 – When we see that blueprint do we really stick to the whole thing or only parts of it?

3:37 – Trying to see what went “wrong” vs. “well” for sales in a week. Kim gives an example here.

In today’s episode of Made to Thrive, Kim Walsh Philips talks about being consistent. Kim encourages you to create mini-milestones and mini-wins along the path to your larger goal. We can easily get off-track of our main goal because we are not being satisfied along the way. We can get distracted with social media and potentially waste time. We lean into such things, (like social media) because we are instantly gratified. Be careful, though! This could be a time waster and get us off-track of our goals. Instead, set mini-goals along the way and once you’ve reached that goal, you can celebrate the small victories! Be consistent, and in the end, you will be rewarded thoroughly!

1:35 – Listen to some examples of this – here!

2:14 – People have their different goals, which are unique to them and their lives; such as losing weight, training for a marathon, or writing a book.

2:58 – Stay true to your goal and keep with the “why.”

3:09 – Our world is based on immediate gratification. To accomplish your goals, you have to do the work up front in order to get to the goal in the end.

3:16 – Curbside Pick-Up – App!

3:33 – Create mini-wins and mini-milestones along the way. When I write the next 25,000 words that can be an example of a mini-milestone.

4:54 – Be consistent, take the next step forward, and plan mini-celebrations along the way!

In fact, by finding that detour (ways around the obstacle) we actually help ourselves in ways that we never thought were possible. Why do we “go home” when obstacles arise in our life?

This happens for me between 5:00-6:00 A.M. I am back to productivity at 7:30 A.M. after I get my children ready for the day. I get a lot done during that time.
