My first repeat guest, Mario Minnaert!  Exactly a year later I have Mario Minnaert back on the podcast to update us with his new business, his achievements this past year and looking forward to the rest of 2023.    How does Mario work with clients that feel overwhelmed?  Focus on getting clarity, what are you doing today and what do I need to do today or next week.  Once you establish those priorities you can create a plan.  You also don’t need to do everything all at once.    Mario and I are huge process fans.  We feel that the process is the real goal over the end result.  It sounds odd, but we’ve found it to be true.  When you hit that goal you feel unstoppable.  More importantly, who is the person that you became along the way?    You can get a hold of Mario on Instagram via direct message at @mario.minnaert   Books discussed: Atomic Habits – James Clear The Gap and The Gain – Dr Benjamin Hardy   Podcasts discussed: Talking Endurance and Mastry – Hosted by Mario Minnaert   Y

“I was the girl who always had a kitten in her arms.” – Sarah Lowry, DVM  Sarah started her journey after high school with a degree in Animal Science and then received her Master’s degree in Dairy Nutrition.  Sarah realized quickly that consulting on Dairy Nutrition was not for her as she’s not a sales person.  Sarah then applied to the University of Wisconsin – Madison and was accepted into vet school.  When Sarah’s husband earned tenure as a professor, he was due for a sabbatical.  They packed up their life and moved to South America for a year.   During that time Sarah reflected on what she wanted to focus on when they came back to the states.  Sarah started her own solo mobile service focusing on backyard pets, such as goats and 4-H animals.  Sarah also works on end of life, hospice, palliative care, acupuncture and pet loss support.

In today's episode I discuss recent healthier decisions, what really constitutes consistency v vacation and moving forward.

Joannie is the GOAT (greatest of all time) of 29029 Everesting.  Joannie has completed 29029 Everesting nine times.  Each mountain has a different elevation profile, so the number of ascents changes from mountain to mountain.  Joannie has a present mindset during the 29029 events.  Joannie doesn’t climb with ear buds.  Joannie wants to hear the sounds of nature, hear the conversations around her and offer a helping hand when needed.  This event is about cheering each other on.  This is not a race, it’s a challenge, and that takes the competitive edge away.    “I wanted to be in the action, I didn’t have to win, it just seemed like more fun out there doing it than watching on the sidelines which is why I enter everything.  I don’t enter because I think that I’m good enough to win, I just love being part of the competition.” – Joannie Rich  Is Pickleball for old people?  NO!  Joannie states that the learning curve for pickleball is much shorter than tennis or golf.  The cost of entry is low, you can play in

I jogged a 10k, 6.2 miles at 3.2mph.  Did I think that I could do that a month ago?  A week ago?  No.  Did I?  Yes, and I added 3.1 more miles to complete a 15k for a Garmin badge!  What is the overall theme for the completion?  Consistency and accountability.

I learned how to say yes to customers instead of saying no.  – Matt DeLong, Entrepreneur, Start-up Consultant, Author, Speaker, Professional Stocks/Options trader, CTO at Real Life Trading Matt started his entrepreneurship in high school with a landscaping business.  Matt eventually sold it and moved to Nashville, TN.  Matt was a C student, went to community college, but quickly realized that there were other ways to get an education besides the traditional method.  Matt bought a $25 dollar yearly magazine subscription, Entrepreneur Magazine, with the goal of reading every monthly publication for 10 years.  Matt is a hands-on learner and learned how to build websites since the World Wide Web was the next big thing from Entrepreneur Magazine.  Money was important, but more importantly, Matt knew that he needed the experience to get a base skill.  Matt’s greatest skill is to solve a need and learn to say yes, I can do that.  How do you solve a need and get paid to do that?  How do you add value?  That’s what

Perspective is a point of view, a style in which we think about things.  Perception is an individual’s interpretation of things.   What’s your perspective?  How to you think about things?  How do you perceive things?  How does social media play into your daily life?    You can follow the I Can Do Anything Podcast at: Email us at – icandoanythingpod@gmail.com Watch our faces on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeI1EHGodsDgwYbvHuOxLQQ And then there is always our website - www.icandoanythingpod.com Like us and subscribe on Facebook - https://bit.ly/3bG0Efk Follow us on Twitter - https://bit.ly/2yqZczb Find us on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2xDFIa4 Get your merch here - https://bit.ly/teespringicdapod Join us on Goodreads – ICDA   Please leave a review and remember that we’d love to hear from you!

Loved it, interesting and liked it.  We all wanted to hear way more stories about people’s lives.  The people in the book were happy.  The stories were told in a way that we wanted more.  The research was also told in a way that made the book interesting.    Do you check in with your circle every day?  Are you intentional in what you do?  We summarized that low stress, clean eating, moving your body, nuts, less meat, vegetarian, calcium, sleep and napping, being a needed member of a family or culture were all very important to live a long life.    What would you do to live more like the people in The Blue Zones?  Bike to work?  Less social media?  After an episode get down and do 20 sit-ups, then 20 pushups?  Switch out processed snacks for homemade chickpeas?  One of Robyn’s 2023 goals is to stop eating before feeling full, and it’s been a good change.  We’d love to hear from you on your switches.        You can follow the I Can Do Anything Podcast at: Email us at – icandoanythingpod@gmail.com Watc

“Focus on what you want and what will it look like when you arrive?  Is what I’m doing bringing me closer to what I want or is this a distraction?  Ask better questions.” – Xochitl Rodriguez    “Why is this happening to me?  I was asking all the wrong questions.”  Xochitl had successful businesses and then they were gone.  Doors opened, closed and opened again for Xochitl.  Xochitl kept moving forward and took advantage of a stock trading retreat when she had spent several thousands of dollars.  Many would have given up and not take advantage of that open door, but Xochitl pushed through.  Today Xochitl is the president of Real Life Trading and a published author.      Xochitl and I both have been looking forward instead of the back window for the past several years.  We attribute this to our experience and wanting to help others learn as quick as possible.  While you shouldn’t take away learning experiences, you can shorten them.     Purchase A Proverbs 31 Woman on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/dp

What does giving grace to others and yourself look like?  Giving grace to others could be biting your tongue or trying to understand the other person’s reasoning.  Does giving grace to yourself look like an excuse?  If so, why are you willing to give yourself an excuse, and if not and excuse, how do you know?  Which end of the spectrum are you?  Our friends Dr. Billy Alsbrooks and Matt Scoletti, episodes 42 and 43 respectively, as well as Jerremy Newsome, episode 67, are mentioned in this episode.   One day off is a rest, two or three days off is a habit per Matt Scoletti.  We love this saying! Pam stated, “Often when we want to quit we need to give it more.”  I need to focus on this aspect for 2023. - Robyn  Grace is not necessarily letting go, it can also be a push.  Where is the threshold?  Make it achievable, obtainable, realistic and gives you joy.   You can follow the I Can Do Anything Podcast at: Email us at – icandoanythingpod@gmail.com Watch our faces on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/cha
