The Fearless Launching Show with Anne Samoilov

The Fearless Launching Show is a podcast for entrepreneurs who want to bring their most important ideas to the world. Sometimes this takes a mix of productivity and time management strategies. Sometimes it'll take a new business strategy. And other times - you'll need a mix of both. Join me weekly to refocus, gain momentum, and get your most important work out to the world.

 If you've ever wondered what it looks like behind the scenes to be a full-time business owner, creator, podcaster, entrepreneur, online education, business, and course creator. Then you are in luck. I've seen a bunch of these, and I've listened to a bunch of these behind-the-scenes podcasts lately.

So I thought, why not do one now? Today's episode won't have the actual live footage included, but you'll see some behind-the-scenes over on Instagram and TikTok soon... So, if you're interested in learning my simple weekly routine for productivity, let's dive in!

One of the most important skills you need as an entrepreneur who sells, markets and launches their offers...is to be more productive. That doesn't mean you have to work 24-7, but it does mean you have to be smart with the time you do have and build practices that become second-hand and automatic.

Highlights: 

01:10 Quick update about last week's non-typical week

02:00 All the things I had to cancel this week

03:07 Productivity is an important key skill if you plan to launch

03:47 Why I'm obsessed with behind-the-scenes productivity vlogs

05:02 The Morning Drop-Off and Afternoon Pick-Up Routine 

07:03 My Daily Themes

10:01 Cognitive Fuel and Why You Gotta Have Systems

13:00 How I Stay Focused

13:48 Build systems to help you get your work done more easily

I can hardly believe it's our final refocus session of 2023. 

Today's shorter-than-short refocus session calls you to reflect on one important thing that may have happened or that was your reality in 2023. Listen now and then let me know your answer to the question I pose in this week's call to set your focus for the week.

In today's refocus session, I'm sharing a new approach to making offers. Instead of waiting and waiting to ramp up, to build the launch runway with all the free content, what if we sped things up a bit? Listen to hear how you can start making more revenue in your business and also have complete clarity that what you're offering is the right offer for your audience.

Today's Refocus Session shares a process I use OFTEN but I also often need to be reminded to do this...and that is CUT down my to-do list. Is it easy for you to make a neverending to-do list for the week? Is it pages and pages long? Here's the process I used today in the car to think about the week ahead. If you need more white space in your life and are tired of feeling TIRED and strung out and stressed out when you don't finish things, this episode is for you.

 

Okay, let's get to it!

Let's talk about what's weighing on you. If you're a human being on this planet, there are likely a few things that you'd say are weighing on you. Today, I'll walk you through a simple exercise to shift how you see these weights. Spoiler alert: you'll practice finding alternatives to the initial choice you made and move back into what is possible for you (no matter what area of your life you're in). You may even discover the thing you're going to focus on this week!

And in celebration of an alternate choice I made and what's weighing me down...

Plan With Me: Create Your Launch Map and Courses That Last are now available!

When you bundle them together, you'll be invited to join me for a special end-of-year Q&A session with some more goodies I'm creating for you!

It's time for another refocus session! This week, we're diving into the topic of productivity and powering through your work. If you've ever just said you had to "get through it" or "go heads down" or power through a bunch of work...this episode is for you. Here's when to power through your work and when NOT to power through. Plus, I'll talk about the downsides to making consistent powering through to your business.

But I want to hear from you? How often do you think you need to put your nose to the grindstone to get things done? 

Enjoy and I'll see you Thursday!

Oct 17, 2023

It's Monday - time to refocus...but before we do let's talk about hitting the delete button. As online creators, sometimes we get in our heads about our content. We want it to be amazing, valuable...and we don't want to embarrass ourselves or regret posting something.

Let's get into it and talk about why hitting delete isn't always bad!

Welcome to your weekly refocus session. Today, we're talking all about procrastination and why understanding what might be causing yours is so important. Is it a habit? Is it something you do only occasionally? Are you delaying projects because they are too complex? Or are you delaying because something doesn't make sense?

Listen in today and try the simple strategy I used to get this podcast up and running again. 

Take the next 30 minutes through your week and decide what you'll focus on this week.

Welcome to another refocus session. This week, along with the regular prompt to determine what you're focused on...we're talking about something that is bound to come up when things don't go well and that's blame. Blame happens on all types of projects--business, creative, personal. And the one thing you can count on is that blame stops any progress you are making.

Launching is a juggling act...

We kind of all know that, but it doesn't have to be one that leaves us tired, stressed, or overwhelmed. In fact, just the number of things 

Cognitive load is the part of your working memory that is affected by all the new things, decisions, and long list of things you have to handle on any given day.

And when that load is too high, guess what happens? We get stressed, become less effective, make bad decisions...

So, if new things, lots of things, decisions are all part of launching, how can we lower the load and have better launches?

Listen to this episode and find out!

Today's episode covers something that has helped me and my launches immensely as I've gone through my business, different types of launches, and stay on top of all the moving pieces of a launch...verbal processing.

What is verbal processing and how do I do it? Can you do it alone? Do you need someone else to give you feedback? How to get started?

Mar 28, 2020

Today I'm sharing a mantra that I created over 10 years ago when I wrote/launched my first product - The White Space Solution ebook.

Scroll down to get a reserve a free copy of the latest edition - free from now through April 2020.

Have you ever felt squeezed in your life or business? Unable to move? Completely stuck?

If you're reading this around the time I'm publishing this, then there's a good chance you do feel this way...we're all connected by that global issue of being stuck at home, paused in our work, maybe looking to start something new.

If this is you, I get it. Sometimes it can be a challenge to set yourself free or move at all.

Over 10 years ago now, I launched my very first book called The White Space Solution...and recently  I took it back out to look over the concepts, see if I could apply it to the crazy global situation happening right now.

Because truthfully, I’ve been feeling all of the feelings and this as tapped into so many parts of me that I haven’t looked at for a long time. 

Life can be demanding, overwhelming, and filled to the brim with the good and the bad along with your health, relationships, work, play, children, and all those things on your to-do lists that keep getting pushed off to someday.

Today’s prompt is important because as you’re going along in your business, you’ll be faced with lots of choices--lots of people who want to work with you, lots of courses to help you be a better business owner, tons of tools to choose from, and you’ll have to choose who you say yes and no to.

Starting today - I want to encourage you to say no to anything that doesn’t give you an immediate, “OMG I’d do that for free” feeling.

Say no to demands on your time that will push your launch further in the future. Say no to people who want you to support them during your launch.

Say no to playdates for your daughter, when you’ve got two webinars planned. Say no to conversations about other people’s businesses during your launch.

Say no and protect your launch.

Learning to say no - helps you set healthy boundaries with everyone in your world and also your soon to be customers and clients.

How often do you feel like you’re behind?

 

That somehow you’re late to the race, to the party...that you’re not moving fast enough or good enough...or enough period!

 

If you’ve ever felt that push, the anxiety, that feeling that you’re somehow not enough no matter what you do or how hard you push, then keep reading and listening!

 

I love momentum.

 

Momentum to me almost always feels like I’ve got so much amazing stuff to share that I can’t get it out fast enough… When I’m feeling momentum, I don’t get hung up on what I haven’t done yet, but I literally start taking massive action toward whatever big focus or goal I’m working toward.

 

Momentum in your business might feel like:

 

> your list is growing finally

> people are interacting with your social media

> people are emailing you

> you’re easily responding to every request you get

> you’re creating content without any “blank page syndrome”

> everything feels easy and flowing

> you’re finally spending time on the important things

> you’re making money and it doesn’t feel like you killed yourself for it

 

I’m telling you when things are buzzing along like this, running your business feels easier.


You might be rolling your eyes right now, but I’m telling you these things because there is a way to kickstart momentum.

Here are 5 ways to kickstart momentum ASAP!

Have a happy 2016!
