    The Science of Accurate Scheduling

    Why does your “perfect schedule” still leave you feeling behind? If you’ve ever color-coded your week, built in buffer time, and still found yourself working late nights, you’re not alone. The truth is—your brain is lying to you about time. In this episode of Success Genius, I dive into the neuroscience of time estimation and why most of us drastically misjudge how long tasks will take. From the planning fallacy to the role of brain chemistry and skill level, we’ll uncover the hidden reasons why schedules fall apart—no matter how carefully you design them. I’ll also share my Accurate Scheduling Method, a simple science-backed framework to help you plan with confidence, reduce overwhelm, and consistently complete 90% (or more) of what you set out to do. Because true productivity isn’t about cramming more into your day—it’s about creating realistic schedules that build trust in yourself and your work. Topics covered in this episode include: Why our brains are naturally bad at estimating timeThe neuroscience behind different brain states and time perceptionHow the “planning fallacy” affects your scheduleThe role of skill level in accurate time estimationThe 5-step Accurate Scheduling Method to build realistic plansAdvanced strategies like buffer time, energy-based scheduling, and the “good enough” principleTune in and learn how to outsmart your brain, build schedules you can actually follow, and create more confidence in your time management.

    How to Stay Confident No Matter What Happens with the Economy with Mark Butler

    What if your confidence in business didn’t depend on the economy at all—but instead on the things you can actually control? We’re constantly told to watch the market, follow influencers, and brace for uncertainty. But what if real stability comes from within—from your character, your skills, and your relationships? In this episode of Success Genius, I sit down with Mark Butler to unpack how to shift from “external referencing” (looking outside for validation) to “internal referencing” (building strength you can rely on no matter what). We explore the hidden entitlement many of us carry in business, why comfort and needs aren’t the same thing, and how nurturing your network might be the greatest form of financial security you have. If you’ve ever felt rattled by economic changes, this conversation will remind you where true confidence is built—inside, where you actually have control. Topics covered in this episode include: Why confidence rooted in internal referencing is more reliable than chasing external validationThe three pillars you can actually control—character, skills, and relationshipsHow entitlement around income and comfort can quietly undermine your businessPractical ways to prepare for economic uncertainty without losing stabilityIf you’ve ever worried about what the economy means for your business, or found yourself seeking reassurance from influencers instead of trusting your own answers, this episode will ground you. Tune in for a refreshing perspective that helps you build unshakable confidence—no matter what’s happening out there.

    The No-Drama Pricing Strategy That Actually Works with Mark Butler

    What if your pricing strategy wasn’t tied to your self-worth—but instead guided by simple supply and demand? In the coaching world, we often hear messages like “charge what you’re worth” or “higher prices mean higher value.” But what if those beliefs are fueling unnecessary emotional drama and confusion in your business? In this episode of Success Genius, I’m joined again by the always insightful Mark Butler—fractional CFO, bookkeeper, and coach—for a candid conversation about pricing. Together, we dismantle the “self-worth pricing” myth and explore why pricing is a business decision, not a personal identity crisis. We discuss how to use price as a throttle, what it actually means to have a “full” calendar, and how lowering your price doesn’t mean you’re lowering your value—it might just mean you’re increasing demand. This is a must-listen if you’ve ever agonized over your rates, compared your prices to others, or wondered if charging less means you believe less in your work. Topics covered in this episode include: Why pricing is a strategic business decision—not a reflection of your self-worthThe real role of supply and demand in determining what to chargeHow to define a “full practice” on your own termsPractical ways to reduce emotional drama around pricingIf you've ever second-guessed your rates, felt pressured to “charge your worth,” or wondered if lower prices mean lower value, this episode is for you. Tune in for a refreshing, economics-backed conversation that brings clarity and calm to how you price your services.
