72. Slowing down to get ahead with Kim Payne

In this episode, I discuss the hard but valuable lesson of slowing down by sharing personal insights from my experiences.  Slowing down doesn't mean stopping or putting off your dreams; it's about getting where you want by managing expectations and enjoying the journey. Rushing or being ''busy'' benefits no one and often leads to unnecessary stress, mistakes, and missed opportunities. Being intentional and building a buffer into our schedules helps protect our sanity and allows us to show up as our best selves.  Through some personal (and somewhat embarrassing) admissions, I explore how slowing down could have been helpful in my life and the value of embracing the ''turtle mentality''—you know, the slower, steadier turtle who beat the rushing, speedy hare, and crossed the finish line with a smile.   What you'll learn in this episode: Watch the signs to slow down before they stop you in your tracks. Managing expectations is a game changer for doing our best work. When we rush or get too ''busy,'' we often act out of character (and regret it later). Creating buffers helps reduce stress and keeps us sane. Slowing down lets us enjoy the journey and get better results—ask the turtle who beat the hare!   WANT TO GROW YOUR BUSINESS **If you’re an ambitious go-getting businesswoman (in Melbourne) and wanting to take your business to the next level, check out becoming a member of the exclusive Courageous Go-Getters Club.   It’s about business growth, personal empowerment and courageous action.   !!
