A few weeks ago, as of the time of this recording, I unexpectedly lost a good friend. He died of a heart attack leaving behind his wife and teenage daughter. This hit me hard, both for having lost a friend and as I considered what his daughter was going through after this traumatic experience, being a dad as well. 

I had to ask myself, do I make each day count? Do you? 

It’s not always easy, especially these days, to live with true intention. We have so much going on and so many distractions that days fly by without us really understanding what took up our time. 

So I challenge you to make it a point to live with intention and make each day count. Here are some tips I’ve used in my own life and I hope they help you. 

First, start with gratitude. Go beyond being grateful for your family, life, and health. Each day find something new that you’re grateful for. Next, build meaningful connections. It doesn’t matter how many connections you have if you never dig deeper and have real conversations with them. 

This next one is truly for everyone. Stop being so busy all the time. We give ourselves busy work and fill our days with inane tasks. Don’t be afraid to have a short task list so that you can make it a point to live your life without working 24/7. 

Lastly, remember to help one person every day. It can be something as small as a smile and a good morning for your barista or as big as picking up the check at a restaurant. You never know what someone in your life may be going through, so the smallest gesture can mean a ton. 

So, friend, how are you going to make today count? 

In this episode:

[01:04] A few weeks ago I unexpectedly lost a good friend which made me ask, do I make each day count? 

[03:27] You have the ability to make your life and time count. 

[04:00] One way you can make it count is to lead with gratitude. 

[05:34] Next, you want to build meaningful connections. 

[07:11] We need to stop being busy. 

[08:20] Relearn the meaning behind H.O.P.E.

Have you ever met someone and realized, that’s your person? Gail Scott and Christina Massey were involved in the same business and when they met to work on a large event, they knew they’d found gold. Now they’re podcast hosts together and working to build a movement for women who find themselves in midlife wondering, what’s next? 

Christina calls herself a serial entrepreneur and I’d say that’s a fair assessment. She’s currently at the helm of four businesses while also contributing to the Midlife Moxie Podcast and all that that entails. For her, mindset is a huge component of success and she loves helping other women overcome their blocks to find joy. 

Gail has been with the same company for over 25 years and worked while homeschooling her children. She loves to show women that you can be an amazing wife and mom while also building a career. It’s possible to do it all and not sacrifice yourself or your family. 

These two came together and realized that they were experiencing very similar things. There is something extremely unique about reaching your midlife as a mom. You’re still a mom, but not in the same way that you were when your children were young. 

Instead you have all this time to focus on you and your dreams. What were your little girl dreams? Do you remember? Listen in to this inspiring duo and bring them back out, dust them off, and get to work making them happen.

[13:00] One of the pivotal things that happened to them and how it upleveled their business. 

[16:35] What does the future of Midlife Moxie look like? 

[19:46] You’ve never had a microphone for your business like you do with social media. 

[21:18] Their biggest challenge and how they’ve overcome it. 

[22:40] The three qualities of a successful entrepreneur. 

[25:23] Your mindset and your mission are so important.

“There’s only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving and that’s your own self.” - Aldous Huxley

The other day I was on Instagram and I saw a post with the quote above and it felt so powerful. If you really think about it, this quote is completely true and more applicable today than it was when it was spoken 50 years ago. 

You see, Aldous Huxley was a prolific writer who wrote over 50 books. It’s not sure whether or not he actually spoke these words, but they’ve been attributed to him for ages. 

When I saw the post, I started thinking about how dramatically my life has changed since I started on the journey of personal and professional development and growth. I make it a point to fill my mind with good things and I focus on making myself better each and every day. 

And as I’ve grown, I’ve seen untold differences in my life. 

So, listen in to hear my five tips to start on the path of professional development and growth. Make 2022 the year you grow by leaps and bounds. 

In this episode:

[00:49] Welcome back to 10 to Win! We’re growing by leaps and bounds.

[01:14] Why I decided to record this episode. 

[03:20] We can improve our circumstances. 

[05:51] I’m sharing five ways you can start on your self-care and development journey. 

1. Read
2. Listen to podcasts
3. Journal
4. Find a mastermind
5. Join a course, masterclass, or webinar that is about something that interests you

[09:58] Personal and professional development and growth is a journey. Small choices make all the difference.
