You need to control your cash and dictate how your funds are managed instead of your cash controlling you. In this episode, Donna Febus. MA, of Temple Executive Coaching, demonstrates how some trends are good and need to be sustained, and some could be catastrophic and ruin your business. You need to be able to spot them, root them out before they take hold of your business. We show how to prepare a budget using your own historical data. Having at least 3 years of historical data to spot trends in your business would be ideal to gain an understanding of how your funds have been utilized. Every month you need to run a budget to actual report. You should then look at what was budgeted and what actually happened. If there are any drastic differences, you should be asking why. Not only “why did we go way over”, but “why were we drastically under”? You never know what you will find through this process. Who knows, you might find a bigamist when digging through your budget!

     As we return to work after the pandemic, we are facing new challenges. Despite our best laid plans, there is still an enormous amount of uncertainty about what it will look like when we return. This podcast explores 9 different mindsets known as saboteurs, that at first glance, look like helpful strategies to use during these uncertain times. What we will learn is that they actually get in our way of the outcomes we seek, and what’s more, make our relationships stressful as well. The end of the podcast will outline the first steps you can take to silence your saboteurs. TIME STAMPS : 00:00 Introduction and overview of the topic: After a year of working from home, we now face a return to work with plenty that remains unclear.  What are the protocols?  Is it truly safe?  Are we overreacting?  It has been an unprecedented year of disruption and as we look to return to life on the outside, we are faced with a new set of challenges. 10:00 Introducing the saboteurs: At times of stress and uncertainty, we use strategies and mindsets that don't always serve us well.  They are sneaky and we are reluctant to admit they are actually sabotaging our engagement, peak performance, relationships, and a sense of well-being.   Here are those 9 damaging mindsets and what they might say about returning to work 10:50 1st Saboteur "The Avoider": This is way overblown.  It's fine. Quit talking about it 11:45 2nd Saboteur "The Controller": Doubles down on attempts to control self and others.  Might try to control microdetails of remote work force.  Control how others return. 12:20 3rd Saboteur "The Over-Achiever ": Works non-stop at home.  No work life balance.  Looks down on others who aren't available 24/7 13:15 4th Saboteur " The Hyper-Rational": Follow the science.  Ignores the emotional and psychological consequences of lockdown and reopening. 15:45 5th Saboteur "The Hyper-Vigilant": I am not setting foot into the office until everyone in the community is vaccinated.  I will wear 2 masks etc... The vaccine will kill so many people too. 20:45 6th Saboteur " The Pleaser": Will try to make everyone happy.  Will suffer everyone else's concerns.  Take it all on. 22:08 7th Saboteur " The Restless": I just need to go somewhere.  Can I go to Bora Bora to work remote, then Croatia? 24:03 8th Saboteur "The Stickler": What are the rules?  the protocols?  Follow these rules or you're a covidiot 24:50 9th Saboteur " The Victim": I can't believe I have to do this. I can't go back. Our team is so dysfunctional... lists all the way things are a disaster. Hey and I may even lose my job. 27:50 An example of two saboteurs working together "The Library " : Not only do our saboteurs stand in our way, they affect our relationships.  Here is a real-life example of how trust is eroded when individuals are operating from their saboteur perspectives.  49:43 Discovering and Analyzing Mike's Result: Mike has taken the saboteur assessment and he shares what he has learned about himself. 58:00 GIVEAWAY for you guys: If you want to learn about what mindsets are standing in your way, the assessment is free.  If you would like help understanding your results, please schedule a complimentary no obligation consult with Ann.

It’s never too late to create and use a budget. If you wait you perpetuate the problem of no clarity of where your money is going.  If you set goals you have no idea if you’re coming close to them.  All of this could be a sign that the money is controlling you instead of you controlling your money.  Why not start immediately so you know exactly where you’re at; which will give you clarity on your current state.  It’s a discipline of mindset to start a budget, stick to it, if you approach your numbers with a willy nilly mindset, that’s what you’re going to get willy nilly results.  People are feeling anxiety, depressed, that lost feeling of what am I going to do.  Controlling your cash helps alleviate a great deal of those feelings.
