    E314. REP: Habits Part 1: 5 Tools to Master Your Habits

    In this first installment of the Habits series, April debunks the myth that motivation is the key to achieving your goals. Whether you're launching a business, writing a book, or committing to your health, the secret isn’t motivation—it’s habits. April dives into how to build better habits that stick, eliminate the ones that derail your progress, and use simple tools to drive long-term success. Key Takeaways: Identify your current habits—good and bad—and evaluate the true payoff of each. Learn why Keystone Habits like making your bed set the tone for the day. Decrease the friction around good habits and increase it around bad ones. Use easy, powerful tools like phone alarms and reward systems to stay consistent. Understand how "temptation bundling" can make positive habits more enjoyable. Action Items: Reflect on a time when you had a great habit that worked. What made it effective? Name your bad habits and recognize the hidden reward behind them. Start creating Keystone Habits with small wins every morning. Label phone alarms with inspiring phrases that cue your new behaviors. Set up a reward system so your brain wants to keep showing up. Featured Quotes: “You don’t need more motivation. You need better systems and consistent habits.” “If we can identify it, we can rewire it.” Recommended Reading: Atomic Habits by James Clear — Buy here The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg — Buy here Stay Tuned: Don’t miss Part 2, where we build on this foundation and dig deeper into how to automate success and master long-term behavior change. --------- Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders? 🚀 Join us for Collaborate in Grass Valley 2025! 🌟 Don’t miss out on your chance to connect, grow, and unlock your full potential with a community of like-minded go-getters. 👉 www.theaprilgarcia.com/collaborate  👉👉 Connect with me here: Website: https://www.theaprilgarcia.com  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/AprilGarciaPivotMe  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theAprilGarcia/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theaprilgarcia

    E313. Business Seasons: How to Plan, Pivot, and Protect Your Peace

    If you've ever found yourself panicking over a slow sales month and spiraling into self-doubt—this episode is for you. April takes us behind the scenes of a real coaching conversation with a business owner convinced her business was falling apart... only to discover, it was just a predictable cycle. In this episode, you’ll learn how to stop reacting emotionally to every dip, zoom out to see your patterns, and plan your growth accordingly. Because your business isn’t broken—it might just be winter. What You’ll Learn: Why most small business owners are blind to their own business cycles The difference in mindset between a $3M company and a $10M+ company How to track patterns to reduce panic and plan more strategically What to stop doing when things get slow How your emotional state is tied to your P&L (and how to cut that cord) Golden Quotes: “Profits up? I’m a genius. Profits down? I should’ve gone to law school.” “You're not screwing up your business. You're just in a cycle. Don't burn the house down.” “Strong marketing makes for easy sales. Weak marketing makes for hard sales.” “Don’t try to fix everything from street view. Step back—look from the satellite view.” Action Steps: Zoom Out: Review your sales and lead data from the past 2–3 years. Spot trends—your slow seasons, your peaks. Plan With the Cycle: Use slow months for R&D, training, or backend projects. Don’t launch major systems when you're in a sales sprint. Know Your Triggers: Recognize when you start to spiral emotionally. Your business isn't broken—your expectations might just be misaligned. --------- Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders? 🚀 Join us for Collaborate in Grass Valley 2025! 🌟 Don’t miss out on your chance to connect, grow, and unlock your full potential with a community of like-minded go-getters. 👉 www.theaprilgarcia.com/collaborate2025  👉👉 Connect with me here: Website: https://www.theaprilgarcia.com  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/AprilGarciaPivotMe  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theAprilGarcia/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theaprilgarcia

    E312. My Tattoo Horror Story: When Politeness Goes Too Far

    In this raw and hilarious episode of PivotMe, April shares an intensely personal story—her tattoo horror story. But beneath the ink and regret lies a powerful message about people-pleasing, distraction, and the cost of staying silent in critical moments. From battling through a brutal year to permanently marking her comeback on her body, April takes us through a decision made during emotional exhaustion and what it taught her about boundaries, voice, and recovery. Key Takeaways: 💥 Politeness Can Be Dangerous: When you override your inner voice to be agreeable, especially in pivotal moments, the cost can be higher than you think. 🌊 The Season That Tried to Drown Her: April opens up about a year full of personal storms—grief, heartache, and mental health struggles—that left her gasping for air and seeking meaning. 💡 Tattoo as a Symbol: Hoping to commemorate resilience, April chose to get a “Still I Rise” tattoo. What followed was anything but empowering. ✋ Red Flags and Regret: When the artist changed the design and she didn’t push back, April knew she was ignoring her intuition. Why? Because she didn’t want to seem rude. 🎨 Creative Fix: The redemption arc? April launched a design contest on 99Designs to creatively “rescue” the tattoo—with entries from artists across the globe. Notable Quotes: “It's hard to believe that the fear of offending can be stronger than the fear of pain, but you know what? It is.” — The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo “I wasn’t drunk—I was just too exhausted to fight for better.” “Politeness may not kill you, but it can leave permanent ink on your back.” Challenge to Listeners: Where are you silencing your voice just to keep the peace? Is your desire to be agreeable costing you something important—your boundaries, your standards, your truth? This week: Speak up in a moment where you’d normally stay quiet. Revisit a decision made during emotional exhaustion—do you need to correct it? Stop letting politeness override your instincts. Especially when something’s permanent. --------- Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders? 🚀 Join us for Collaborate in Grass Valley 2025! 🌟 Don’t miss out on your chance to connect, grow, and unlock your full potential with a community of like-minded go-getters. 👉 www.theaprilgarcia.com/collaborate2025  👉👉 Connect with me here: Website: https://www.theaprilgarcia.com  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/AprilGarciaPivotMe  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theAprilGarcia/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theaprilgarcia

    E311. Your Future Life Today- How to Have it Now

    In this powerful episode of PivotMe, April unpacks the concept of "Touching the Dream"—inspired by Ed Mylett—and what it really means to live into your future life now. Sharing stories from her own life, from paddleboarding in Lake Tahoe to watching her kids play on a private beach, April walks us through how visualizing success and brushing up against it in small, tangible ways actually rewires our belief system. You don’t need to wait until you’ve “made it” to feel what your dream life is like—you can live part of it now. Key Takeaways: 🔑 Visualize It Clearly: Describe your dream in full detail—where you are, who’s with you, what it feels like. 💡 You Live at the Level You Believe You Belong: We all unconsciously self-regulate to our perceived worth. Change your belief, change your life. 🧘‍♀️ Touching the Dream Changes Your Baseline: Whether it's staying near the Ritz, renting the car, or walking through your future neighborhood—exposure creates belief. 👨‍👩‍👧 Normalize the Dream for Your Family: Let your kids see abundance as an option, not a fantasy. 📖 Journaling and Visualization: April shares a poignant moment journaling on a porch in Tahoe, realizing she was unknowingly living parts of her dream. Notable Quotes: “We live at the level we believe we belong.” “The more we touch the dream, the more it becomes our new normal.” “That morning, I realized—I wasn’t just visualizing the dream. I was walking through it.” Challenge to Listeners: What can you arrange this month to touch the dream? ✨ Rent your dream car. ✨ Walk the neighborhood you want to live in. ✨ Sit in the first-class lounge—even if you’re flying coach. Expose yourself to it. Normalize it. Because you’re closer than you think. --------- Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders? 🚀 Join us for Collaborate in Grass Valley 2025! 🌟 Don’t miss out on your chance to connect, grow, and unlock your full potential with a community of like-minded go-getters. 👉 www.theaprilgarcia.com/collaborate2025  👉👉 Connect with me here: Website: https://www.theaprilgarcia.com  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/AprilGarciaPivotMe  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theAprilGarcia/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theaprilgarcia

    E310. What Is Your Big Ask? Have This Before Any Negotiation

    Most people live in the "just enough" zone—asking for the bare minimum they think they can get. But what if the key to extraordinary success lies in making unreasonable asks? In this electrifying episode, April dismantles the fear holding you back from demanding what you truly deserve, sharing jaw-dropping stories of bold requests that changed lives (like Siri Lindley training with Olympians, or Mike securing a $50M loan). You’ll learn why someone half as qualified as you will outearn you today simply because they asked for more, and how to reframe rejection as a stepping stone. Key Takeaways: 🔥 The Unreasonable Ask Mindset Why high performers like Siri Lindley succeed: They ignore "realistic" limits. The painful cost of playing small: How under-asking leaves money and respect on the table. 🔥 Floor vs. Ceiling Most people articulate their floor ("I’d be happy with just X") but never their ceiling (the "magic wand" scenario). Case study: How David 10X’d his income by pitching 12-month contracts instead of month-to-month. 🔥 Self-Limiting Beliefs Exposed "I’m not ready to ask __" is often a lie. Examples: Laura: "I’m not fit enough for Bek to train me." Katie: "My questions are too basic for Mike." How these stories reveal self-selection out of opportunities. 🔥 The Big Ask Framework Identify your unreasonable ask (What’s the "wild" request you’re avoiding?). Flip the script: "What if they say YES?" (Spoiler: They often do.). Move the needle: Even a "no" resets expectations upward. Action Steps: ✔ Today: Write down your "floor" (minimum) and "ceiling" (big ask) for a current opportunity. ✔ This week: Make ONE unreasonable ask (mentorship, partnership, salary, etc.). ✔ Share: Tag @theAprilGarcia with your #UnreasonableAsk—we’ll feature bold stories! Notable Quotes: "Someone half as good as you is making an unreasonable ask today—and getting it. Why not you?" "Your minimum is a trap. The world rewards those who articulate their CEILING." "Rejection isn’t failure—it’s data. ‘No’ today often becomes ‘Yes’ tomorrow."

    E309. Don't Pay for Ads Until You Do This

    Marketing agencies are begging you to run LinkedIn ads. Here's why that might be the worst $5,000 you'll ever spend. April breaks down the exact conversation where she stopped a client from blowing his ad budget—and the 3 foundational fixes he needed first. Key Takeaways: 💸 The Cold Hard Math – Why LinkedIn ads cost 3-5X more than other platforms for B2B leads 🛑 The Busyness Paradox – If you're already overwhelmed, ads will drown you (not save you) 🪟 Storefront Theory – Why your profile is like a retail window (and Kyle's was empty) 🎯 The Elevator Pitch Fix – "I do [X] for [Y] so they can [Z]" template that converts visitors 📊 Opportunity Cost – What you should spend on before even considering ads Case Study: Kyle's 4 Profile Flaws: No clear client avatar ("For who?") Generic headline (like "Business Growth Expert") Zero social proof (no recommendations/case studies) Muddled background (no clear transformation offered) Action Plan: ✔ Audit Your Profile – Would a stranger understand exactly what you do in 8 seconds? ✔ Build Social Proof – Get 3 client recommendations before spending on ads ✔ Track Organic First – Can you convert profile visitors without paid traffic? ✔ Alternative Plays – 3 cheaper lead gen strategies that work first April's Rule: "Never pay to drive traffic to something you haven't proven converts for free." --------- Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders? 🚀 Join us for Collaborate in Grass Valley 2025! 🌟 Don’t miss out on your chance to connect, grow, and unlock your full potential with a community of like-minded go-getters. 👉 www.theaprilgarcia.com/collaborate2025  👉👉 Connect with me here: Website: https://www.theaprilgarcia.com  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/AprilGarciaPivotMe  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theAprilGarcia/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theaprilgarcia

    E307. REP: Why You Should Eat the Ugliest Frog First

    Mark Twain famously said, "Eat a live frog first thing in the morning, and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day." In this episode, April Garcia dives into why tackling your hardest task first is the ultimate productivity hack—and how to stop letting procrastination drain your mental energy. Key Takeaways: ✅ The Frog Theory – Your "frog" is the task you dread most. Avoiding it costs more energy than doing it. ✅ Fear vs. Reality – Most frogs take less than 20 minutes to complete (but feel massive in your mind). ✅ Frogs Multiply – Ignored tasks breed mental clutter and distraction. High performers eat theirs fast. ✅ The 20-Minute Rule – If it feels overwhelming, start with just 20 minutes. Momentum kills resistance. Action Steps: 🐸 Find Your Frog (15:30) – Identify one task you’ve been avoiding. Write it down. 📸 Accountability Move – Take a "before" pic of your frog (notes, screen, sticky). Tag @theaprilgarcia with #iameatingthatfrog. ⏰ Eat It Now (15:45) – Set a timer for 20 minutes. Start. No overthinking—just action.
