Podcast #438: What 438 Episodes Taught Me About Not Quitting

Episode 438

Monday, February 2, 2026 • Duration 09:07

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION!

Welcome to another episode of "No More Excuses"!

Sooooo, did you fall off the 30-day challenge… or never start at all? Have no idea what I'm talking about?

Good. This episode is for you.

In this episode of No More Excuses, I'm asking the real question—how did you actually do with the 30-day challenge? And if you didn't start on January 2nd, here's your permission slip: start now.

I'm sharing what 14 years in business has really looked like—since February 2, 2013—the ebbs, the pivots, the wins, the hard seasons, four books, and what it took to reach episode 438 of this podcast.

If you've been stuck, second-guessing yourself, or waiting for the "right time," this is your wake-up call.

🎙️ No perfection.
🔥 No waiting.
🚫 No more excuses.

Hit play—and then take action. NOW!

Cheers!

Podcast #437: New Year. Same Bullshit… Or Not.

Episode 437

Monday, January 5, 2026 • Duration 09:26

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION!

Welcome back to another episode of "No More Excuses"!

It's a new year—but let's be honest. If nothing changes, nothing changes. In this episode of No More Excuses, I cut straight through the New Year hype, empty resolutions, and recycled promises we make to ourselves every January.

This is not a feel-good episode.

It's a call-out.

You'll be challenged to confront the one thing you've been avoiding—the habit, fear, excuse, or pattern that keeps following you into every new year.

Listen in as I break down why motivation is overrated, why excuses feel comfortable, and why the challenge you don't want to face is the exact one standing between you and real growth.

This episode also introduces the 30-Day NO EXCUSES Challenge, designed to help you stop negotiating with yourself and start showing up with consistency, ownership, and confidence.

Comment with your email or email me at Sandi@SandiBallard.com to get your FREE 30-day challenge workbook!

If you're done repeating the same year with a different calendar—and ready to actually do something about it—this episode is for you.

New year. New standard. No more excuses.

Cheers! Sandi

Podcast #428: It's June... Now What?

Episode 428

Monday, June 2, 2025 • Duration 09:36

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION!

Welcome back to another episode of No More Excuses!

Welcome to June. Yep, it's here. Half of 2025 is already in the rearview mirror. For small business owners, leaders, and entrepreneurs, this moment can feel either electric or exhausting. Maybe you're ahead of your goals, firing on all cylinders. Or maybe you're staring at that untouched vision board wondering where the hell the time went.

Wherever you're at, here's the truth: Being off track doesn't mean you're out of the race. It just means it's time to get real, reset, and refocus.

The Gut Check

Ask yourself:

Where am I with the goals I set in January?
Which ones still matter?
What did I avoid, delay, or ignore?

Now, this isn't about shame or failure. It's about taking back your power. You've got 26 weeks, 182 days left in 2025. That's plenty of time to make bold moves, shake things up, and achieve goals that matter.

Listen in as I talk about the 3 R's: Reset. Recommit. Reignite.

June isn't a conclusion; it's your halfway checkpoint. A reminder to wake up, recommit, and reignite your business badassery.

No more waiting. No more excuses.

How are you getting back on track this June? Drop it in the comments or email me at Sandi@SandiBallard.com. Let's finish 2025 strong. Together.

Cheers!
Sandi

Podcast #333: What Are You Giving?

Monday, August 22, 2022 • Duration 07:22

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION

Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses.

Thank you for being here, for listening and sharing this podcast with others! If you are new here, message me who and where are you?

Last Monday's podcast was about focusing on priorities to give you the opportunity to make progress on your goals and FEEL FREE because things are OFF your to-do list! And also making sure that you really expect to do great things before you even try!

We all want more time, so by getting shit off your list that is NOT a good use of your time, you'll end up finding not just MORE time, but more of the RIGHT time! I talk about this in chapter two of my upcoming book, "Leverage"! I'm very excited as it is close to being published and ready for you to read! It's not just finding, making or somehow magically creating more time in the day, it's about what you do with it. Although I do love "FOUND TIME!"

In last Thursday's social media post I shared a quote by Dr. Seuss, "The more you read, the more things you will learn. The more that you learn, the more places you will go."

I liked that quote as a transition from all the reviewing I've had you do the last few weeks to being able to have the time and clear mindset to think about the future.

Listen in today as I get you thinking MORE as we're looking at the last few months of the year!

How can you dig deeper so you have the strength to LEVERAGE shit and finish the year strong?

Why ask this so soon? Because preparation is a great way to ensure your success!

I personally want a lot more! I want to learn a lot more and I definitely want to go to more places!

But to get more, I need to become more and GIVE more!

Listen in today and think about where you are, and where you want to go! And don't forget to follow me on social media to continue to build upon the success you've already had.

Podcast #332: How Does it FEEL?

Episode 332

Monday, August 15, 2022 • Duration 07:07

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION

Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses.

I honestly cannot believe it's Mid-August already! Thanks again to long-time podcast listener Steve Andert in Arizona recommending his wife, Christine of The Picture Lady Photography to take the photos for my upcoming book titled Leverage!

It's exciting to think after a few years, I FINALLY am about to publish my fourth book. I set it as a goal for this year, and although it was a little late, I DID IT! Well… it's close. And I didn't give up. But what I did do is practiced what I preach. I made the book a priority.

Like I talked about in Last Monday's podcast, reviewing your to-do list. What is NOT getting done? And, like the theme of my fourth book, learning to LEVERAGE other people's talents, skills, superpowers, so you have the time to focus on what YOU want and need to do to help you grow your business or career!

Listen in today as I share what I heard from a few people about what they learned during their reviews and what they identified things they really didn't need to be doing themselves.

And, one thing I've heard from clients over the years is "it's easier to do it myself", and my reply… "But at what cost?" It may be, but why aren't you handing things off?

When it's been your baby for so long, it's hard to let things go. But trust me… it's SO FREEING to NOT have to do it all!

Be CLEAR with your EXPECTATIONS!

Remember a few weeks ago, in podcast 332 we talked about being open to new ways of doing things if that's OK! Looking at the process and the end result – which is the most important. Sometimes it is both! And if that's the case, then take the time to train, educate, provide clear instructions on HOW to do what you need help with!

Passing things off may require a bigger investment of time at first, but in the long run, having those things off your to-do list will feel amazing!

Podcast #331: It's Time to ASK!

Episode 331

Monday, August 8, 2022 • Duration 07:53

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION

Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses.

Thank you for being here, for listening and sharing this podcast with others!

Last Monday's podcast was about reviewing your processes and procedures. Yes, if it ain't broke don't fix it, but do REVIEW it! Make sure it's still the BEST way. The most PRODUCTIVE and EFFICIENT way!

In today's podcast, I share a few things people I heard from identified that needed updating and streamlining - for example one is using an employment agency now instead of trying to do it themselves. A couple others streamlined their services, one reduced the products they offer.

What about you? Did you do your review? If not… why not? What are you afraid of finding? That shit's broken?! It happens!

There is never a bad time to review your "world", just make sure that you do it! Just like reviewing your progress on your goals, are you on the right path? Are you doing the right things? Are the right people around you to help and support you?

Listen in today as I share what I've known for a while that I need, and how it is going to help me. And over the next month I'll be sharing the RESULT of getting the help I need!

We all can use some help at some point in our personal and professional lives.

We can't be so proud that we end up off-track or giving up on goals because we won't ask for help. As I talk about in my upcoming book, "Leverage", we are all born with unique talents, and we need to leverage others to help us sometimes.

I know I've talked about this before… but it's always a good reminder to REVIEW your to-do list. Listen in today and then share, DM me or email me at

Podcast #330: Am I Interrupting You? GOOD!

Episode 330

Monday, August 1, 2022 • Duration 10:05

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION

Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses.

Thank you for being here, for listening and sharing this podcast with others!

Last Monday's podcast was about stopping to really look into what's happening, what we are focusing on, WHO we are focusing on and who is around us.

I suggested that you review review and REVIEW some more. And this week will be no different, except for WHAT you are reviewing.

Doing things the way they've always been done can sometimes work, and other times, the complacency can stunt our growth and keep us from achieving the results we desire.

Are you open to new ideas and ways to do things?

In today's podcast, I talk about how I ask clients that and how that is a big part of my DiSC® workshops. It's important to be open-minded. It's also OK if you still do things "The xyz-company way". However, make sure you ask yourself, and allow others to ask: "Is it still the BEST and most PRODUCTIVE and EFFICIENT way?"

What needs to change, upgrade, or be simplified?

And if you can't figure out how to do your review, let me help you! Contact me now! Email me or click here to schedule!

I look forward to hearing from you!

Cheers!

Sandi

Podcast #329: Who's Taking Yours?

Episode 329

Monday, July 25, 2022 • Duration 08:44

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION

Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses.

Thank you for being here, for listening and sharing this podcast with others!

Last Monday's podcast was about making sure you're focusing on the right goals and learning how to play BIGGER so you can achieve BIGGER goals!

Last Monday I also touched briefly on the 80-20 rule in business. Which goes along the lines of making sure you're focusing on the right goals, but also the right tasks and even clients.

Many business owners will spend 80% of their time on clients that only bring in 20% of the revenue.

So, what should you do?

Just like taking the time to review the progress on your goals, clean up your environment and make sure you're focused on the things that will help you achieve those goals, it's a great idea to take the time to review your clients, customers, patients; whatever you have! As well as your vendors, sub-contractors, partners of any kind – the people you need to help you. And you honestly you could do a staff or volunteer check as well!

Listen in today as I share some success stories from clients who I helped with the reviews of their clients as well as staff, and someone who was a "nice guy", but was no longer doing the job we needed him to.

Sometimes we can just get so caught up in our routines that we don't stop to really look into what's happening, what we are focusing on, WHO we're focusing on and who is around us.

Listen in today and then take some time to review, review and REVIEW some more, who are the people around you? Who are you FOCUSING on? Are they taking up the majority of your time? Are they on the right seat on the bus? Are they a good fit and still what you need?

Podcast #328: Do You Want MORE?

Episode 328

Monday, July 18, 2022 • Duration 08:29

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION

Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses.

Thank you for being here, for listening and sharing this podcast with others! Don't forget to follow me on social media as I continue to get you thinking and taking action!

Last Monday's podcast was about Dreaming BIGGER! Thinking about what you would do if money was no object and if fear didn't exist! What about NO fear for you? What have you been holding off doing for fear of failure? Fear of those pesky "what ifs"?

What did you come up with?

In last Monday's podcast, I shared my BIGGER dream and it has helped excite me about the possibilities!

Like I told myself about my BIGGER DREAM, don't let yours distract you, I want it to MOTIVATE you! I want you to think about it so you realize you can have BIGGER dreams and you can do bigger things! We all can do a little more!

But first DREAM IT!

Create the VISION. Feel the excitement, happiness, and the MOTIVATION that you would get from achieving the success and bringing that dream to life!

And then... PLAN IT!

The last couple years have been so tumultuous for so now it's time to REJUVENATE your life, business or career. Ask yourself...

"Are you playing too small?"

I was told I was! Dreaming bigger. Playing bigger is like helping you amplify your life!

Listen in today as I share how Dr. Benjamin Hardy talks about, don't just 2X your life, 10X your life! The bigger vision helps you focus on it instead of getting caught up with the little things

Podcast #327: How Big Are Yours?

Episode 327

Monday, July 11, 2022 • Duration 09:22

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION

Welcome back to the weekly podcast, No More Excuses.

Thank you for being here, for listening and sharing this podcast with others!

Last Monday's podcast was about Freedom and Independence. Does your job or business give you what you need to feel and experience both of these things?

As I mentioned in last Monday's podcast, it's such an amazing thing to have the freedom to help others, for example business owners who provide their staff with paid hours to volunteer, or do so as a group.

With both, you can take the necessary steps to grow both personally and professionally and achieve the SUCCESS you desire!

What could more freedom and independence help you with, or do?

We've all heard the phrases, "What would you do if money was no object?" or "What would you try if you had no fear?"

Time to dream... and dream BIGGER!

If you don't have the freedom that you'd like, or perhaps you aren't as independent as you need to be, if you had NO FEAR and MONEY wasn't an issue, what would you do? I'd love to hear it!

Listen in today as I share my ideas about what I would do if money were no object!

And, how I overcame, and did NOT allow fear to exist in my head once we moved from Indiana to Cali and then the $@(#* COVID hit and never left!

Instead of listening to the fear, I focused on what I WANTED, and my VISION!

YOUR TURN!
