If the soul-sucking feeling of procrastination has ever gotten the best of you you’re going to totally dig what I have for you today.
But first I want to tell you a quick story.
The other day I was teaching on a Facebook livestream and I had a question that popped up that kinda threw me for a loop.
She said, “Do you work your business full time?”
As we dug into what the question was about it became clear that she was amazed at how much I get done in my business each day.
Upon further investigation we discovered that she has a loyal relationship with procrastination, on every level of her business, and she never gets anything done.
She’s unable to get any momentum because procrastination is stealing her thunder.
If you’ve ever wondered why you’re procrastinating on getting things done, making decisions, and putting yourself out there, this episode of The Wellness Business Podcast is going to knock your socks off.
I think it’s safe to say that we all have experienced procrastination at some point.
Sometimes, we procrastinate because we feel like we’re too busy or we just don’t know where to start. Other times, it’s because we feel too overwhelmed by all of the moving parts in a situation. Maybe it’s even a combination of all of these things!
Procrastination can turn into a nasty habit, but there are ways to disrupt the pattern.
On this week’s episode of The Wellness Business Podcast, we are discussing our own struggles with procrastination and giving you tips on how to break the cycle and jump into a pattern of productivity and profitable action.
In this episode we talk about…
- Breaking goals down into small tasks so you can easily check them off one by one
- Setting deadlines for yourself and reverse engineering timelines so you’re clear on what your priority should be
- Deciding what work to outsource so that you can focus on your strengths and the things that actually generate new clients
- Taking action even when it’s not perfect or you don’t feel 100% ready, (non-negotiable)
- Having an accountability partner to keep you in check
Enjoy this week’s episode!
Here’s to breaking up with procrastination!

P.S. NOT SURE HOW TO START BUILDING YOUR EMAIL LIST? CLIENTS
If you’re tired of trying to figure out how to get paying clients all on your own let me share some crucial information with you.
Building your email list will result in more paying clients. It’s the action that bridges the gap between your ideal client knowing who you are and hiring you to coach them through a transformation. It’s the relationship building that goes on with your email list subscribers that turns cold leads into hot new clients.
It’s the effort you put into email list-building today that will result in new paying client down the road. One is directly connected to the other.
I’ve coached many of my clients through the process of creating the perfect free offer and a follow-up automated email sequence that drives their new leads to paying programs and I’m sharing those strategies with you in this free training.
If you aren’t currently adding at least 10 new email subscribers to your list each day, this is a must watch training.

Love, love, love this podcast! A few key things really spoke to me and are good to hear even if you’ve said it before- taking action every day that is directly related to growing your business, be ok with where you are at in the journey, and Karen’s mini rant about procrastination and how it is actually a “habit” we can change! Love this new way of looking at procrastination. Next time I procrastinate I will be thinking of this for sure!
You guys are so real and I appreciate you sharing your stories and that you’ve both struggled with things but continue to set such a great example for us to be inspired by. And you guys can make me laugh too 🙂 Thanks guys!
Corinne, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts on this episode. Obviously, it was a pretty passionate and vulnerable episode for me so we weren’t sure how it would be received. But the feedback has been off the charts so I’m glad I opened up. I’m especially thrilled that it has inspired you to keep moving forward. That’s amazing and so are you. XO

Such a coincidence (or not!). About the same time that your podcast about procrastination showed up in my inbox, I saw this New York Times article about procrastination called, “Why Your Brain Tricks You Into Doing Less Important Tasks” https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/09/smarter-living/eisenhower-box-productivity-tips.html I have workshops on brain health, so I was fascinated to learn that “Our brains tend to prioritize immediate satisfaction over long-term rewards.” Between your terrific and timely podcast along with the NYT article, I can get a grip on my procrastination. Thanks!
Wendy,
Thanks for sharing your feedback. I will definitely take a look at the link that you shared. So interesting. I’m thrilled that you enjoyed this podcast episode. Obviously, I feel so passionately about this topic and want all of our listeners to succeed. ~Karen
