Here's your spiky-haired breakfast taco loving host house flipping coach, Debbie DeBerry.

00:00:39.030 --> 00:00:40.259
What's up you guys?

00:00:40.289 --> 00:00:44.250
It's Debbie DeBerry here and my dog Dash.

00:00:44.369 --> 00:00:49.530
She is feeling super needy today, so she's hanging out super close to me.

00:00:49.590 --> 00:00:50.880
I don't know what's going on with her.

00:00:51.899 --> 00:00:54.869
Um, maybe it's the beautiful weather and she actually wants to be outside.

00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:55.799
I don't know.

00:00:56.189 --> 00:01:07.739
Anyway, I hope that whatever you're up to, you're having an awesome day, that it's been easy and I am grateful that you're spending some time with me.

00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:10.439
So what's going on in my world?

00:01:10.441 --> 00:01:11.129
Well, let's see.

00:01:11.131 --> 00:01:17.189
Next week is Thanksgiving, so we're kind of finalizing what we're doing on Thanksgiving day.

00:01:17.191 --> 00:01:22.019
We're actually going to be volunteering with an organization called operation Turkey.

00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:29.760
And there are lots of different ways you can volunteer and what we're going to be doing is actually delivering meals on Thanksgiving day.

00:01:29.969 --> 00:01:33.780
So I am really, really, really excited about that.

00:01:34.950 --> 00:01:36.209
I love this time of year.

00:01:36.269 --> 00:01:39.659
I love donating my time.

00:01:39.661 --> 00:01:41.159
I love donating my energy.

00:01:41.161 --> 00:01:43.319
I love being involved in the community.

00:01:43.590 --> 00:01:51.269
It makes me feel so much more connected and like I'm really living my higher purpose.

00:01:51.329 --> 00:01:58.439
I am not just focused on me and what's happening inside my little bubble.

00:01:58.709 --> 00:02:04.829
So I hope that you guys have some awesome plans for this coming holiday.

00:02:05.780 --> 00:02:06.079
All right.

00:02:06.140 --> 00:02:08.870
Now I want to do a listener shout out.

00:02:09.259 --> 00:02:15.229
First of all, you guys, thank you for taking the time to let me know that what I'm doing actually matters.

00:02:15.710 --> 00:02:22.789
And by you leaving a rating and a review, it really helps this podcast reach more people.

00:02:23.060 --> 00:02:32.639
So the way it works is the more ratings and reviews that a podcast has, the more likely it is to be shown to people.

00:02:32.699 --> 00:02:34.590
So thank you very much for doing that.

00:02:35.099 --> 00:02:37.530
All right, this a review.

00:02:37.531 --> 00:02:38.490
It cracks me up.

00:02:38.490 --> 00:02:40.289
Some of y'alls names are just funny.

00:02:41.099 --> 00:02:43.710
Uh, this one is by sweet little kumquat.

00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:45.689
That's just hilarious.

00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:46.409
It makes me laugh.

00:02:46.860 --> 00:02:54.569
All right, so it says I'm currently in the dip my toe phase of learning about real estate investing.

00:02:54.870 --> 00:02:56.250
Debbie's podcast is awesome.

00:02:56.251 --> 00:03:04.669
She shares mindset tips, practical strategies how tos and my favorite interviews with real women who have taken the plunge.

00:03:05.270 --> 00:03:07.219
I hope to be one of those women someday soon.

00:03:07.221 --> 00:03:11.449
And I'm thankful Debbie is sharing her knowledge and encouragement to empower more girls like me.

00:03:12.020 --> 00:03:12.800
Yes.

00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:14.030
Sweet little kumquat.

00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:17.419
I hope that I'm interviewing you as well.

00:03:18.110 --> 00:03:19.250
Uh, your name is so funny.

00:03:19.251 --> 00:03:20.539
So thank you for the chuckle.

00:03:20.540 --> 00:03:21.259
I appreciate it.

00:03:21.289 --> 00:03:28.129
And again, thank you for taking the time to let me know what I'm doing matters.

00:03:29.330 --> 00:03:50.090
Alright, so what I want to talk about today is something that comes up pretty frequently and that is this notion of I can't possibly start learning how to flip houses or even flip a house while also working a full time job.

00:03:51.020 --> 00:03:55.969
And I am here to say that that is total nonsense.

00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:16.189
You absolutely can do this while also working full time or as was the case for me, I had an entire business I was running and I still flipped a house when I first got started back in 2008 so yes, it is entirely possible to do this now.

00:04:16.910 --> 00:04:30.649
How do we manage our time in such a way that we can actually accomplish all that we want to accomplish and get all the tasks done that need to get done?

00:04:30.980 --> 00:04:33.560
That's exactly what we're going to talk about in this episode.

00:04:33.620 --> 00:04:33.980
All right?

00:04:33.980 --> 00:04:43.100
It's all about managing your time and operating in a way that will allow you to actually achieve anything you want to achieve.

00:04:43.370 --> 00:04:43.850
Okay?

00:04:43.910 --> 00:04:52.610
So the first thing is is you've got to set goals the right way and yeah, there is a right way and there's a wrong way.

00:04:52.980 --> 00:04:56.189
There's an acronym called smart, right?

00:04:56.190 --> 00:04:57.420
Smart goals.

00:04:57.449 --> 00:04:58.620
Maybe you've heard of this.

00:04:59.310 --> 00:05:04.170
So when you're setting goals, you need to keep that acronym in mind.

00:05:04.470 --> 00:05:07.110
So S, M, a, R.

00:05:07.110 --> 00:05:07.110
T.

00:05:07.139 --> 00:05:14.310
the S stands for specific meaning you have to state exactly what it is you want.

00:05:14.670 --> 00:05:17.930
It can't be a vague goal.

00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:20.779
Your goal can't be, I want to be a millionaire.

00:05:21.230 --> 00:05:22.430
That's not specific enough.

00:05:22.579 --> 00:05:24.230
Great that you want to be a millionaire.

00:05:24.649 --> 00:05:26.180
What does that even mean?

00:05:26.269 --> 00:05:39.889
Do you mean tomorrow you want to be a millionaire or in 10 years you want to be a millionaire and does millionaire T you mean$1 million in the bank or is it$1 million worth of equity in real estate holdings?

00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:48.740
Because those are two very different things, so you've got to be exact and it has to have a metric to it.

00:05:49.100 --> 00:06:05.040
For example, the women that I work with in my coaching program, the goal is to flip a house within the next six to 12 months because we're being realistic and we know it's ridiculous to say you're going to flip a house in 30 days.

00:06:05.939 --> 00:06:16.529
Now on top of being specific with your goals, you've got to write them down because you're a lot more likely to follow through on goals that are written down.

00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:22.970
Then goals that are just in your head and for extra credit, tell somebody, right?

00:06:23.329 --> 00:06:25.490
Tell somebody else your goal.

00:06:26.389 --> 00:06:27.740
That's scary, right?

00:06:28.069 --> 00:06:34.639
It's super scary because then you have to hold yourself accountable because now it's out in the open.

00:06:35.300 --> 00:06:36.589
That's some good stuff right there.

00:06:36.889 --> 00:06:44.750
All right, so S in smart is for specific, has to be a specific goal and it has to be a metric.

00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:46.310
So it has to be measurable.

00:06:46.370 --> 00:06:52.069
What that specificity is, the M in smart stands for meaningful.

00:06:52.970 --> 00:06:55.699
Why do you want to achieve that goal?

00:06:55.970 --> 00:06:57.949
Why is that?

00:06:58.009 --> 00:06:59.449
Why you want to achieve the goal?

00:07:00.500 --> 00:07:01.490
Why is that?

00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:03.829
Why you want to achieve a goal?

00:07:04.220 --> 00:07:14.209
All right, so you just keep going deeper and deeper until you're left with the absolute essence of why.

00:07:14.750 --> 00:07:26.180
And it's usually around freedom or family or love or whatever, but it's usually drilled down to one or two words.

00:07:26.329 --> 00:07:26.899
Okay?

00:07:27.410 --> 00:07:36.319
So it has to be meaningful to you because your goal might not mean to me what it means to you and that's fine.

00:07:36.649 --> 00:07:41.720
My goals aren't going to mean to you what they mean to me it is super individual.

00:07:41.750 --> 00:07:42.199
Okay?

00:07:42.889 --> 00:07:53.389
The a in smart stands for achievable, so it's excellent to have lofty, long term goals.

00:07:53.540 --> 00:07:54.139
Okay.

00:07:54.680 --> 00:08:04.160
But along the way, you've got to have short term goals and milestones that you're achieving or else you're going to feel completely frustrated.

00:08:04.579 --> 00:08:06.860
You're going to feel like you're not making any progress.

00:08:07.370 --> 00:08:13.189
So the way I coach in my program is entirely around this.

00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:29.810
I break things down so that each week the women in my program understand what their goals are for the week, what their tasks are for each module, what needs to be accomplished in order to move on to the next module.

00:08:30.459 --> 00:08:39.610
That's how you have short term wins on your way to the longterm goal that you're trying to reach.

00:08:39.909 --> 00:08:47.080
So those are really important for mindset, for morale.

00:08:47.470 --> 00:08:51.519
You've got to see that you're making little wins along the way.

00:08:51.820 --> 00:08:58.240
And honestly they might seem little, but every single when you get is huge.

00:08:58.509 --> 00:09:04.990
Okay, so all right, next one is R for relevant.

00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:07.960
And what do I mean by relevant?

00:09:07.961 --> 00:09:09.669
What the heck is irrelevant goal?

00:09:09.850 --> 00:09:21.519
Well, it means that it's important to you and it is in alignment with your values, your beliefs, and who you are in your core.

00:09:22.059 --> 00:09:22.570
Okay?

00:09:22.750 --> 00:09:25.419
So it has to be relevant to you.

00:09:26.529 --> 00:09:30.399
And then finally the T in smart is for time-based.

00:09:31.179 --> 00:09:33.159
They have to have an exact date.

00:09:33.490 --> 00:09:35.740
If it's left open ended.

00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:38.950
Our brains don't do well with that.

00:09:39.250 --> 00:09:44.649
So if we have all the time in the world to accomplish something, guess what our brains do.

00:09:45.190 --> 00:09:49.299
Our brains take all the time in the world to accomplish that something.

00:09:50.139 --> 00:09:53.980
So you've got to have time limits.

00:09:54.250 --> 00:09:59.649
You've got to have specific dates when you want to achieve your goals.

00:10:00.549 --> 00:10:06.070
All right, so that is the smart acronym when it comes to goal setting.

00:10:06.490 --> 00:10:10.840
That's how he set goals the right way, using that smart acronym.

00:10:11.169 --> 00:10:11.649
Okay.

00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:22.330
The second thing to do to really manage your time in an effective way is to use a time management system.

00:10:22.809 --> 00:10:28.960
So I don't know if you know Stephen Covey, he wrote the book seven habits of highly effective people.

00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:31.539
I've read it many times.

00:10:31.541 --> 00:10:35.830
It's something that I read probably every, every 12 or 18 months.

00:10:35.860 --> 00:10:38.769
I read it again because I always get something new.

00:10:39.340 --> 00:10:47.230
So the most recent time I read it, his time management matrix really stood out to me.

00:10:47.889 --> 00:11:01.840
And basically what you're doing is your tagging things as either important, urgent, neither of those things or both of those things.

00:11:02.860 --> 00:11:12.250
And when you start paying attention to where you're spending your time, you're likely spending them on urgent things.

00:11:12.909 --> 00:11:15.879
When really for longterm success.

00:11:16.419 --> 00:11:22.539
Stephen Covey says that we need to be focusing on the things that are important but not urgent.

00:11:23.289 --> 00:11:28.539
Because usually the urgent things are fires that we're putting out for someone else.

00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:31.450
They're not necessarily for us.

00:11:32.139 --> 00:11:36.840
Okay, number three, audit your time for seven days.

00:11:36.841 --> 00:11:52.649
Now my coach, so I always have a coach and one of my coaches recently said to me that I needed to audit my time and how I was spending it, which honestly I was like, Oh God, I don't want to do that.

00:11:52.740 --> 00:11:53.769
That sounds so dumb.

00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:57.070
Oh, so I am incredibly coachable.

00:11:57.220 --> 00:12:10.210
At first I might be like, ah, I don't want to, but I'm totally going to do the thing because that's why I hire coaches because they are where I want to be in some aspect of my life or business.

00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:23.019
So that's why I hired this coach anyway, so I had to record how I spent my time and there are some apps that do this for you, which is awesome.

00:12:23.409 --> 00:12:27.580
So what I did was I used an app that basically was running in the background.

00:12:28.269 --> 00:12:44.529
I'm on my computer and anytime I did anything, it was recording where I was spending my time and honestly I was pretty surprised at how much time I was wasting doing things that were total time sucks.

00:12:45.190 --> 00:13:08.559
So record your time and see where you're spending it and if you're not spending it mostly in that quadrant that Stephen Covey says is the most important, which is important stuff that isn't urgent, then you need to rearrange your schedule and put the focus on those specific tasks.

00:13:09.549 --> 00:13:09.879
Okay?

00:13:09.880 --> 00:13:12.309
Number four, time block.

00:13:12.820 --> 00:13:19.870
Like I mentioned earlier, your brain will use as much time as you give it to complete a task.

00:13:20.769 --> 00:13:35.950
So if I say I'm spending all day seven hours recording this podcast episode, editing it, preparing it to be released on the next release date, then guess what?

00:13:35.980 --> 00:13:38.799
It's going to take me seven hours to get it done.

00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:45.519
If I give myself two hours to do that same task, guess what?

00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:55.179
It gets done in two hours as much time as we are allotted, we will take that time to accomplish the task.

00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:59.860
So when you're time blocking, I think there are two important things to consider.

00:13:59.919 --> 00:14:09.279
One, give yourself less time than you think you need and to block out the important tasks.

00:14:09.460 --> 00:14:14.830
And I will say this, it is incredibly important to block out personal time.

00:14:15.220 --> 00:14:25.029
If you aren't taking care of yourself, you cannot show up and serve other people regardless of how you do that in your life.

00:14:25.090 --> 00:14:28.570
You cannot do it well if you aren't taking care of yourself.

00:14:29.350 --> 00:14:31.779
Additionally, when are you most effective?

00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:33.789
For me, I'm a morning person.

00:14:34.090 --> 00:14:39.730
After about 3:00 PM I am not going to be able to brain things for you.

00:14:40.029 --> 00:14:46.509
I'm not going to be as effective or efficient or productive.

00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:55.549
So I try to do most of my tasks that creativity or being fully present and connecting with people.

00:14:55.551 --> 00:15:01.460
I try to do those things before 3:00 PM and ideally in the morning.

00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:09.379
So know what timeframes you are most effective and most productive.

00:15:09.380 --> 00:15:14.269
And most awake and aware and present and time block accordingly.

00:15:14.629 --> 00:15:15.110
Okay.

00:15:17.450 --> 00:15:25.970
Number five, start your day with a morning routine and I know some people are going to roll their eyes at this one and maybe every single one.

00:15:26.059 --> 00:15:37.610
That's okay, but here's the thing, if you aren't where you want to be and you're still doing the same thing today that you did yesterday, maybe it's time to change some stuff.

00:15:37.669 --> 00:15:38.210
Okay?

00:15:38.629 --> 00:15:45.830
I highly recommend the morning miracle, which is a book by Howe L rod.

00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:47.299
It's awesome.

00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:47.960
Okay.

00:15:47.961 --> 00:15:59.090
It is a fast read and it highlights specifically the reasons why you need to have a morning routine.

00:15:59.419 --> 00:15:59.899
Okay?

00:16:00.470 --> 00:16:13.549
For me, the reasons I think it's important are you start your day with intention and you start it proactively versus the first thing you do.

00:16:13.551 --> 00:16:39.080
Being grabbing your phone and reacting to emails and texts and social media and all of the influx of stuff that puts you on the reactive side of things where you want to be on the proactive side of things where you are dictating the way your day goes, where you are intentional about how you start your day and how you set your day up.

00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:47.330
Starting your day with a morning routine is incredibly important to set yourself up for success for that day.

00:16:47.929 --> 00:17:07.009
Number six is along the same lines as time blocking, but this is specific to emails, so blocking out time that you're going to respond to emails as well as blocking out time that you're going to hop on.

00:17:07.010 --> 00:17:07.849
Social media.

00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:14.089
Yes, we are all wasting so much time on social media.

00:17:14.450 --> 00:17:28.829
Turn off your social media app alerts, break the habit of checking your social media accounts every time you get bored or every time you feel overwhelmed and don't know what to do next.

00:17:29.069 --> 00:17:42.029
Instead of reaching for your phone to check email or hop on social media, take one action step that will move the needle towards your goal.

00:17:42.539 --> 00:17:43.079
Okay.

00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:48.720
So schedule, email, response times, and schedule social media time.

00:17:49.619 --> 00:17:53.490
All right, number seven, take frequent breaks.

00:17:53.730 --> 00:17:54.059
Okay.

00:17:54.060 --> 00:17:59.130
Our brains work and learn and produce better in chunks of time.

00:17:59.579 --> 00:18:04.650
So every 60 minutes or somewhere around there, get up.

00:18:04.710 --> 00:18:06.000
Go for a little walk.

00:18:06.869 --> 00:18:16.440
That leads us into number eight, feed your body regularly and with healthy, wholesome foods.

00:18:17.250 --> 00:18:20.789
Number nine, exercise regularly.

00:18:20.819 --> 00:18:24.720
It doesn't have to be a five mile jog every day.

00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:29.519
Go take a walk for 30 minutes every day.

00:18:29.549 --> 00:18:31.200
You've got to be moving your body.

00:18:31.201 --> 00:18:33.029
You've got to be taking care of your body.

00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:41.849
Again, if we are not taking care of ourselves, there's no way that we can show up fully to serve other people.

00:18:42.650 --> 00:18:45.950
Number 10, meditate.

00:18:47.089 --> 00:18:48.769
Yep, I know, I know.

00:18:49.069 --> 00:18:49.670
Roll them.

00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:50.869
Roll those eyes.

00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:51.680
I know it.

00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:59.059
Meditation is incredibly effective for boosting productivity.

00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:02.539
How well it helps with focus.

00:19:02.990 --> 00:19:07.099
It helps with tuning out the things that are not important.

00:19:07.670 --> 00:19:10.759
It helps with energy levels and it helps you sleep better.

00:19:11.299 --> 00:19:12.109
And guess what?

00:19:12.230 --> 00:19:18.019
All of those things help you manage your time better and make you more productive.

00:19:18.950 --> 00:19:21.859
And I know you might be thinking, Debbie, it's too hard.

00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:23.299
I can't sit still.

00:19:23.569 --> 00:19:29.359
I can't make those thoughts that go through my head when I try to sit still.

00:19:29.361 --> 00:19:30.500
I can't make them stop.

00:19:31.009 --> 00:19:31.579
Guess what?

00:19:32.180 --> 00:19:33.650
You have to practice meditating.

00:19:34.910 --> 00:19:42.890
You have to keep practicing meditating and all of those things you will get better at.

00:19:43.670 --> 00:19:47.930
But in order to be better at the thing, you have to practice the thing.

00:19:48.410 --> 00:19:48.859
Okay.

00:19:49.190 --> 00:19:49.430
All right.

00:19:50.329 --> 00:19:54.079
Number 11 get a coach who can guide you.

00:19:55.069 --> 00:20:07.609
Look, I grew up playing sports, so I've always known the value of a coach and it goes so much deeper than just the how to of doing something.

00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:10.430
I mentioned it earlier, I always have a coach.

00:20:10.460 --> 00:20:21.470
I actually have two right now in, I know that I'm going to get to where I want to be faster and with a heck of a lot less pain if I align myself with a coach.

00:20:22.369 --> 00:20:30.769
So what the coach is doing is making me more efficient and I value my time just like anyone else does.

00:20:31.009 --> 00:20:34.519
And I have a huge Mead for efficiency.

00:20:34.819 --> 00:20:38.089
I am hardwired to make things more efficient.

00:20:38.630 --> 00:20:53.230
So if I can align myself with a coach who will tell me exactly how to do what it is that I want to do, the steps I need to take, and that person also provides incredible support.

00:20:53.859 --> 00:20:56.740
You better believe I'm going to align myself with that coach.

00:20:57.069 --> 00:20:58.569
That's just how I operate.

00:20:58.570 --> 00:20:59.829
That is my mindset.

00:21:00.130 --> 00:21:06.549
If I come at it as, Oh, I can't afford a coach, or Oh, I'll figure it out on my own, guess what I'm doing?

00:21:07.150 --> 00:21:16.569
I am wasting my time and I promise you I'm wasting a heck of a lot more money trying to figure it out on my own.

00:21:16.809 --> 00:21:25.420
So find a coach who's doing what you want to do and align yourself with that coach.

00:21:25.779 --> 00:21:26.319
Okay?

00:21:26.740 --> 00:21:27.940
Simple as that.

00:21:28.690 --> 00:21:30.039
That's efficiency.

00:21:30.700 --> 00:21:33.700
Number 12 this is a big one.

00:21:34.690 --> 00:21:38.019
You need to quickly reboot when necessary.

00:21:38.619 --> 00:21:40.660
So what do I mean by that?

00:21:41.109 --> 00:21:46.059
You and only you have to be your source of motivation.

00:21:47.019 --> 00:21:55.359
And that comes from really knowing and feeling a deep connection to your why and your bigger purpose.

00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:59.109
But you have to be your source of motivation.

00:21:59.349 --> 00:22:01.480
You can't get it from anyone else.

00:22:01.509 --> 00:22:13.569
You have to be your source of motivation because if you're relying on someone else to constantly be that source of motivation, what are you going to do when that person's not there anymore?

00:22:14.140 --> 00:22:27.069
Be self sufficient and figure out the ways that you need to show up for yourself in order to motivate yourself and feeling deeply that connection to your why.

00:22:27.609 --> 00:22:28.839
That's the answer.

00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:39.430
Also, stop making everything about you and focus on your why and serving others.

00:22:40.299 --> 00:22:50.950
When we stop making everything about us, it opens us up to show up in such a bigger way for other people.

00:22:51.430 --> 00:22:53.500
Trust me, this can be super hard.

00:22:54.730 --> 00:22:55.779
I get it.

00:22:56.619 --> 00:22:59.529
The more I put myself out there, guess what?

00:23:00.220 --> 00:23:02.799
The more haters come out of nowhere.

00:23:03.819 --> 00:23:05.319
I become a bigger target.

00:23:05.650 --> 00:23:10.210
People honestly reach out to me and say the meanest things to me.

00:23:10.211 --> 00:23:22.000
They don't even know me and they already have this preconceived notion of who I am and they say hurtful things to me and here's the thing.

00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:23.680
I know that it's about them.

00:23:24.309 --> 00:23:28.359
It is 100% about them has nothing to do with me.

00:23:29.589 --> 00:23:33.160
They're triggered by something, but it's not about me.

00:23:33.940 --> 00:23:36.970
It doesn't make it any easier to take.

00:23:37.089 --> 00:23:44.589
When someone says something that is totally out of line, it doesn't make it any easier, but here's the deal.

00:23:45.019 --> 00:23:46.369
Why do I keep showing up?

00:23:46.940 --> 00:23:49.400
Even though sometimes I'm like, screw it.

00:23:49.430 --> 00:23:50.630
I don't want to do this.

00:23:50.869 --> 00:23:56.180
I don't want to take the hate from people who have no idea who I am.

00:23:56.839 --> 00:24:00.769
It is incredibly frustrating, but why do I keep showing up?

00:24:00.829 --> 00:24:05.900
Well, first of all, that's my stinking motto for 2019 is to keep showing up.

00:24:06.170 --> 00:24:08.630
I have it on my sign behind my desk.

00:24:08.660 --> 00:24:11.630
You see it on all the videos you've seen of me.

00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:14.930
I have it on a bracelet I wear every day.

00:24:15.349 --> 00:24:20.240
Keep showing up even when it's hard, but why do I keep doing that?

00:24:20.779 --> 00:24:36.019
Because the most important thing to me, all of my decisions, everything that drives me and my business and honestly in my personal life is paying forward the love, support and encouragement my mom gave me.

00:24:36.650 --> 00:24:37.339
That's it.

00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:57.589
When it comes to business, that means teaching women skills that allow them to be self sufficient and loving the crap out of them as they struggle their way through the challenges as they celebrate huge accomplishments they never imagined they could do.

00:24:58.160 --> 00:25:12.500
That's why I keep showing up, so you have to find what makes you keep showing up and it has to mean so much to you that all of the potential crap that comes with it, you can overcome it.

00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:17.890
How are you going to reboot quickly when necessary.

00:25:18.579 --> 00:25:19.089
Okay.

00:25:19.210 --> 00:25:24.849
The last one is to stop using time as an excuse.

00:25:25.420 --> 00:25:35.349
I think the majority of people who say, I don't have the time to do this even though I really, really, really want to and I have a burning desire to do so.

00:25:36.190 --> 00:25:40.299
I think that they are not being truthful with themselves.

00:25:40.779 --> 00:25:41.380
I do.

00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:57.670
I think that what is really going on is that they're terrified and by not moving forward, by not making progress, by not doing things in a different way than they've been doing them.

00:25:57.849 --> 00:26:00.759
By not trying, guess what?

00:26:01.269 --> 00:26:08.109
You don't have to risk making a mistake or looking like a fool and knows of the things we want to avoid the most.

00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:17.920
We want to avoid making mistakes and we want to avoid looking foolish, so stop using time as an excuse.

00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:21.400
Just try that on in my, not bit at all.

00:26:22.089 --> 00:26:34.750
That might not be you at all, but what I guarantee you is that the majority of people who start on this house flipping venture do not have the time to do it, but they make the time to do it.

00:26:35.210 --> 00:26:38.420
The vast majority of people have a full time job.

00:26:38.539 --> 00:26:52.140
They have another business, they have a busy life, and yet they still make the time to accomplish those milestones on the way to the big, lofty goal.

00:26:53.549 --> 00:27:01.859
All right, you guys, those are the 13 time management tips that I wanted to give you for achieving your goals.

00:27:02.549 --> 00:27:14.309
Now, like I mentioned earlier, your ratings and reviews are super meaningful to me and also they help me get my message to more people.

00:27:14.609 --> 00:27:29.220
So I am on a mission to instill in women that if they want to flip houses for a living, they 100% can do so successfully and love their life while they do it.

00:27:29.309 --> 00:27:41.160
So if you are getting anything out of this podcast, would you be so kind as to leave a rating and review and help me reach more like-minded women?

00:27:41.849 --> 00:28:07.349
Also, this is the final push for the end of 2019 because I'm closing down my program pretty soon and we'll reopen in 2020 so this is the time that you need to be out there learning, putting all of the steps together, finding a house to flip.

00:28:07.380 --> 00:28:09.569
This is prime time right here.

00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:30.119
And if you're sick of not making progress, if you're sick of putting your dreams on the back burner while you watch everyone around you accomplish theirs or maybe you're watching other people in your city or town flip houses and you know you can do it better because you do it with a lot more heart, but you don't know the steps and you know you need help along the way.

00:28:30.809 --> 00:28:32.940
That is why we're here.

00:28:33.539 --> 00:28:45.839
Go to first, flip done right.com and it tells you exactly what you need to do to learn with me and my amazing tribe, okay?

00:28:45.840 --> 00:28:51.539
You guys, until next time, go out there, flip houses like a girl.

00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:56.730
Leave people and places better than you found them and make it a great day.

00:28:57.000 --> 00:28:57.480
Bye all.
