Episode 30: JOY JOY JOY
 
Want to find peace, comfort & JOY??? Listen to this episode as I share the Christmas story and what it means to me.
 
Luke 2: 1-20
The Birth of Jesus
2 In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole empire[a] should be registered. 2 This first registration took place while[b]Quirinius was governing Syria. 3 So everyone went to be registered, each to his own town.
4 Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family line of David, 5 to be registered along with Mary, who was engaged to him[c] and was pregnant. 6 While they were there, the time came for her to give birth. 7 Then she gave birth to her firstborn son, and she wrapped him tightly in cloth and laid him in a manger,[d] because there was no guest room available for them.
The Shepherds and the Angels
8 In the same region, shepherds were staying out in the fields and keeping watch at night over their flock. 9 Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.[e] 10 But the angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for look, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people:[f] 11 Today in the city of David a Savior was born for you, who is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be the sign for you: You will find a baby wrapped tightly in cloth and lying in a manger.”
13 Suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host[g] with the angel, praising God and saying:
14 Glory to God in the highest heaven,and peace on earth to people he favors![h][i]
15 When the angels had left them and returned to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go straight to Bethlehem and see what has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
16 They hurried off and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby who was lying in the manger. 17 After seeing them, they reported the message they were told about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary was treasuring up all these things in her heart and meditating on them. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had seen and heard, which were just as they had been told.

Episode 29: Distractions In Your Business & Other Sparkly Things

As we approach the Christmas season, there are so many things that can be distractions…
 
Whether it be parties, meeting end of year goals to get that bonus or just thinking, whew, I need to be doing something else with my life! LOL I don’t know what season of life you are in but let me tell you distractions in your business are real and can quickly have you spinning in the glitter.
 
Here are some tips to help you stay focused:
 
Keeping your work flow consistent – Yes some of us like to take off during the holidays to be with family or just for a much needed break. But let me tell you plan for this! If you know you’re going to be off for a week or maybe even 2! Plan ahead! Batch some of your projects, make sure your team knows and they are equipped to handle things in your absence.
Stay focused! – This is something that is particularly difficult for me. I love all the pretty sparkles and I LOVE to try new things. So this can be quite difficult when I am working toward a goal. You may think that I’m silly or think, “you really have to do that!” But, yes I am a very visual person so I post and write my goals EVERYWHERE!! I write them in my journal over and over, I pin pictures in my phone, I create albums in my phone, I tape them to my dash in my car or to my mirror in my bathroom. Maybe you’re really great at staying focused or you have a technique that works for you (and I would love to hear how you handle staying focused). This is what helps me!
Stay connected – Staying connected to your mentor or business coach can also keep you on track. Run ideas and opportunities by them. Sometimes having someone from the outside looking in is a great way to “see” what’s right in front of you. Even opportunities that are to good to be true are sometimes not what is right for us at this particular moment. I can remember when I had my shop, I was killing it! I had an investor from out of town want me to open another location and I’m telling you that the offer was almost to good to turn down. But after prayer and thinking long and hard, it was going to put a strain on me and my family, not to mention my other shop. It literally made me cringe to turn it down, but in the end it was the best thing for me, my family and my business.
Meditation, Prayer and Self Reflection – If you don’t hear me say anything else, hear me now!! Meditation, prayer, and self-reflection are a MUST for anyone! Whichever you choose, I do all 3, take some time to meditate on your thoughts; pray, pray, pray; and take time to reflect. Reflection can be done daily, but also take a look back each month at your business, then each quarter, then each year. I keep a personal journal as well as a business journal. I also keep my date books (which I write notes, things I should have done and other thoughts) so that I can revisit them to increase my productivity the following year.
 
I truly hope that this has helped you and maybe you have suggestions to tackle distractions and all the sparkly things that tend to stand in our way of accomplishing our goals.
 
I’d love to hear how you handle distractions! Email us at emily@emilyjanzenmcgrath.com to share how you roll. Also, leave us a review! This is how we reach more listeners and grow.

Episode 28: Overwhelm & Anxiety and How to Deal!

Are you overwhelmed? Are you feeling inadequate or like you can't get everything done? Today I talk about overwhelm and anxiety and how I deal with it
Ha! I know we have all been there, going in so many different directions at one time or experiencing difficult times, trials and tribulations… I’ve definitely been here for some time and boy am I tired.
Are you struggling financially, maybe your business isn’t growing like you had wished, or you’re dealing with difficult clients or customers or maybe you’re just stressed because so many people are pulling at you and “need” you. Don’t get discouraged!
But time and again, God keeps saying “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.” James 1:2-3. I keep hearing this over and over… God keeps saying, I’ve got this and YOU!
I know that with trials comes growth! So here I am persevering, considering it JOY to be in my situation. I know that has been hard but I feel like the more we go through the easier it gets to find joy in the hard times. I can definitely look back at circumstances in my life and SEE where God was at work and has always had my best interests at heart! So my encouragement to you is to hang on, its going to be a bumpy ride, but KNOW that God has got you right where he needs you to be! Let Him work out your circumstances. Don’t try to hurry them along. Smile and enjoy the process of growth, testing of your faith, persevering, and know He is preparing you for so much MORE!!!
During these times or when I’m feeling like things are out of control, I sit down and write all the things that are good in my life, all the things that I have to be thankful for! I find comfort in this and it helps me to see that things could be so much worse than what they are. I say them aloud to myself and praise God for each one.
 
If you would like to work with me or need a business coach, please email me at emily@emilyjanzenmcgrath.com I’d love to hear from you!

Epidsode 25: Being Thankful in Abundance

"Praise the Lord, Give Thanks to the Lord for He is Good; and His Love Endures Forever." Psalm 106:1
What a great verse! Even in little we have abundance in Him. Today I list some things that I am thankful for. We should thank him daily and voice our abundance daily because we are truly blessed.

Episode 23:Top Reasons to Hire an Interior Designer and What Should I Know Before I do!

Episode 23: Should I hire an interior designer and what should I look for?
 
Have you asked the question, "Should I hire an Interior designer?" And, what should I look for? In this episode I have coffee with my assistant Heather and we discuss all the reasons you should hire an interior designer and what to look for.
 
Reasons why you should hire an interior designer:
Experience – they have experience in their field
Connections – they have connections with contractors and other designers
Sources – they have resources that not everyone has access to
Money savings – in the long run they will save you time and money
 
What to look for in a designer:
A good listener – a designer should be a good listener; listening to your needs & wants. If they don’t, move on.
They’re a good communicator – they should be good at relaying or explaining process & procedures.
Respected – ask around and make sure they are well respected in your community and do they come well recommended.
They can create a style you love – be sure to look at some of their previous work and that you like their decorating style. The last thing you want is to use your hard earned money to end up with something that you hate or regret doing.
 
I always love having coffee and discussions with Heather! We really have a great time together.
 
If you think you are interested in learning more, building and growing your business or just want to know how to get started then email me at emily@emilyjanzenmcgrath.com for more information. I’d love to work with you one on one.
