Episode 26: How to Know When to Pivot in Your Business

In this episode, we explore how to know when it’s time to pivot in your business. 

The extremely simplified answer is this: you know by searching your heart and soul and listening to that quiet voice deep down that already knows.

We live for such a short time on this planet; our time is so precious, and I have this firm belief that we don’t want to spend that time doing things that aren’t ultimately making us happy.

So, as you listen, I invite you to think about the answer to this question: What do you really want to be doing with your life? Maybe you’ve lost sight of what you want somewhere along the way.

But the fact is, you can’t get to where you want to go unless you know where you’re going.

If you’re considering a pivot in your business or life, I hope this episode inspires you to uncover or rediscover your dreams. 

Episode 24: Work Funk And The Spring Doldrums

The latest episode of Your Work Block is out, and I hope you’ll find this topic inspiring.

In this episode, I address a common feeling I've observed among business owners and students in the early spring months here in New England.

I describe it as a sense of "funk" or malaise brought about by the often gray, wet weather. To combat this feeling, I offer five simple but effective tips to help you shift your ways of thinking and achieve higher levels of productivity.

Join me as we uncover ways to navigate periods of low motivation and find renewed energy in our personal and professional lives.

Thanks for listening!

Episode 23: Success is a Choice: How to Manifest It

In this episode, I talk about a grab bag of different concepts, with the idea of success being the unifying thread. Specifically, I explore the idea that success is a choice, not just something that happens to certain "chosen" people. I touch on the topic of how your mindset drives your vision of success as an entrepreneur and use different strategies (such as meditation) to control how your incoming thoughts and emotions affect your manifestation of success. 

Join me as we consider what success means to each of us individually and how we choose to pursue it in our personal and professional lives. As always, thanks for listening!

Episode 21: Time Blocking: The Art and Science of Making Your Time Work for You

In this episode of Your Work Block, we dive into how to make your time work best for you. Some call this the practice of "time management," but I don't really like thinking about it that way. We cover the basics of time blocking, how to be as accurate as possible with your time blocks by getting "real" with your time, adding "buffer" time, and more. Listen to find out how to effectively structure your day to master your to-do list in the time you have available.

Episode 20: The Gift of Time and Yearly Calendar Planning

In this episode, we're talking about taking time--time to work on your business or time to not work at all.

At the beginning of the year, we're often thinking about what's next and how to utilize our time in the new year best. Whether we like it or not, time is a finite resource. And we all have the same amount of time each day. This can be encouraging and discouraging at the same time, especially when we think about people like Bill Gates or Oprah Winfrey and what they've done with their time compared to what we've been able to do so far.

Listen to hear my thoughts on how to focus our finite time to achieve what we want while still making room for non-productive things we enjoy doing. 

Be sure to listen to the end, where I announce an in-person workshop I'm holding later this month. It would be a great way to "clear the deck" to achieve what you really want to achieve in 2024. Or visit raefgranger.com/masterclassprime!
