    In this episode, Sandra shares a life changing Why Not Now? moment that has influenced everything she has done since. This moment in time ultimately became the best career move she has ever made. Sandra explains the pivotal events that led her to a crossroads of having to either look for a job in corporate America, or create an entrepreneurial experience that would enable her to forge a balance between career and family. She took a leap of faith, chose the latter, and the rest is history.
     
    Sandra explains how she arrived at making the decision, how that applies to your own decision making process, and why you should think entrepreneurially even if you aren’t an entrepreneur.
     
    You’ll learn what makes Sandra so decisive, how she considers decisions and the tools she uses in her decision making process.
     
    Sandra is someone that doesn’t sit still very often, but she has learned to take the time to appreciate the things in her life. She shares why focusing on what truly matters, being happier and more content will lead to more productivity naturally.

    Steven Kotler - Living in "Flow" to Reach Your Peak Performance (Ep 319)

    Steven Kotler studied journalism, poetry, and writing in school. When he told others about his plans to conduct a neurobiological study, some literally laughed in his face. But Steven’s interviews with Flow State experts made him an authority on the subject, and he set out to help others reach peak performance.
    He now works with entrepreneurs, athletes, and leaders of some of the biggest companies in the world, helping them reach this state of “Flow” to become up to 500% more productive. He is also a 4 x NYT Bestselling Author. According to Steven, Flow is how you turbo boost your results beyond all expectations.
    In this episode of Why Not Now?, Steven and Amy Jo talk about overcoming imposter syndrome, how to get into Flow and how living a “Flow” Lifestyle can bring more purpose and happiness into our lives. They also talk about the difference in mindset between peak performers and non-peak performers.
    Steven tells Amy Jo that we have 5 major intrinsic motivators: curiosity, passion, purpose, autonomy, and mastery. To perform at our best, they must all point in the same direction. That is when we reach our Flow State.

    “Once you launch in, there’s no going back.” Paula Wallace is the Founder and President of the Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) - a world leading comprehensive university for creative professionals. Paula invented SCAD in 1979, and she has most definitely not looked back.

    Amy Jo Martin - Part 3 How To Reinvent Your Day & Relationship With Time (Ep 315)

    Amy Jo Martin - Part 3 How To Reinvent Your Day & Relationship With Time (Ep 315)

    This is the final episode of Amy Jo’s 3 part series all about reinventing your relationship time and money. We encourage you to listen to Part 1 (Ep 313) and Part 2 (Ep 314) before pushing play on Part 3.
    In this last installment, Amy Jo focuses on the money side of things. To be clear, this is not investment advice, but you will learn how to potentially earn more and save more.
    Amy Jo shares her specific money story and how that has changed over the last ten years. The net/net? Sacrifice does not equal success. Period.
    Our earning potential is highest when we are expanding our capacity and optimizing our bandwidth. Sometimes that means spending money to create more time. Amy Jo explains how. She also shares what she is looking at specifically in her budget, and how she uses that data to determine if she is operating at her full earning potential.
    You’ll learn the importance of assigning a value to your hours, and start making decisions based on the value of your time, as well as the difference in approaching finances from a confident place as opposed to doing so out of fear, and with a scarcity mindset.
    Finally, Amy Jo takes you through the 5 Renegade Rules as a refresher so you can apply the rules to what you’ve learned over the last 3 episodes and beyond.
