129 | This One Thing Will Give You a Massive Breakthrough In Your Business this Year
LISTEN TO THE EPISODE HERE:
We hope you are ready for some “kick in the butt" inspiration today!
Danielle shares the ONE thing that has allowed her to experience massive breakthroughs in her business over the past 10+ years of being an entrepreneur. This one thing is what separates those who achieve their goals and see massive success in their businesses and those who don't.
It's extremely simple, but most people miss this.
This episode is only 13 min long, but we truly believe this could be the catalyst you need to make this year a breakthrough year for you and your business! So let’s dive in!
Focus & Discipline Drive The Biggest Breakthroughs
Danielle’s secret to breakthrough is her ability to truly FOCUS and be disciplined to do what was necessary to make her goals happen.
So here’s the question: What are you willing to do to reach the goals that you have in your business?
We often set these BIG lofty goals, and they seem really exciting and fun when we set them, but then when we actually break these things down, we realize what will be necessary in order to hit those goals. The BIGGEST differentiator in Entrepreneurs, the ones that have the most explosive growth and biggest breakthroughs, are the ones that are WILLING to do what it takes to actually achieve their goals.
It seems obvious, but it’s not well-practiced - We have to have to be incredibly intentional about being focused on our goals.
The Cost of Numbing Out
So ask yourself, are you allowing distractions to come into your life and your world and derail you from your main focus? We allow ourselves to get sucked into the vortex of social media, randomly browsing, randomly googling things that we really don’t even care about that much. Watching movies or shows that we don’t even enjoy.
Think about it… what is that costing you?
The scrolling, browsing, numbing?
It’s costing you your goals, you opportunities and your success. It’s actually also stealing your motivation, your inspiration and your joy.
Consistency Is Key
How can you practice being incredibly FOCUSED today?
Can you turn off your notifications?
Can you put your phone in another room?
Can you time yourself for 10 min at a time when you sit down to work so that when the alarm goes off and you find yourself distracted you can bring yourself back on task?
What can you do to set yourself up for success?
Can you ask for accountability?
Can you go to a coworking space or coffee shop to set aside time for focus?
Ask yourself what you need to focus on the most important things.
This year, if you cut out distractions, you challenged yourself to stay FOCUSED on your most important tasks - the ones that are truly profitable, the ones that move your business forward - you are going to experience a breakthrough and massive growth!
Be encouraged, because no matter what has happened in the past, last year, yesterday, even an hour ago, you can start fresh NOW!
Start over and get HYPER FOCUSED on the things that matter most!

[00:03:17] Danielle: So I'm really excited to share this with you. Let's go ahead and dive in. Welcome to the Business Babes Collective Podcast. I'm your. Danielle Weep. In this podcast, you'll learn tangible business tips and strategies on how to grow successfully and sustainably. We'll also interview seasoned entrepreneurs so you can listen in on their stories and see behind the scenes of what it took to grow and scale their businesses.
[00:03:43] Danielle: Let's dive in as we discuss the wild, exciting, crazy challenging, rollercoaster ride of entrepreneurship. When I think about what has given. The biggest breakthroughs in my journey of entrepreneurship. It's really crazy to say I've [00:04:00] been an entrepreneur for over 10 years now. It's insane. I think it's almost 11 now, but my secret to, I think the breakthroughs that I've been able to have throughout those years has been my ability to truly focus and be disciplined to do what was necessary to make my goals happen.
[00:04:22] Danielle: And you. I wanna ask you, because I think it's so easy to, at the beginning of the year, you know, 2020, we make these, or sorry, 2020 , 2023, we make these big grand goals, right? For what we wanna see in our business. And then, you know, a couple weeks go by, a couple months go by and we're all of a sudden left with this feeling of, oh my goodness, I'm behind, I'm behind on my goals.
[00:04:48] Danielle: I don't think I'm gonna be able to achieve it. And you know, we love this fresh. That January brings us and we feel like maybe everything and anything is possible, but [00:05:00] then we set these goals and it seems really exciting and fun when we set them. But when we actually break these things down, we realize everything that's gonna be necessary in order for us to hit those goals.
[00:05:14] Danielle: So I wanna ask you like be honest with yourself. What are you willing to. to reach the goals that you have set for yourself in your business this year. What are you willing to do? and be honest. Be honest with yourself. What I find is the biggest differentiator in entrepreneurs, both the ones that I've interviewed on this podcast that have created massive successes in their business, my clients that have had really amazing successes in their own businesses, mastermind members and students of our community.
[00:05:48] Danielle: The one common thread that I see again and again that. I find that people that have those explosive growth and biggest breakthroughs in their own business is [00:06:00] that they're willing to do what it takes to actually achieve their goals. It kind of seems like this is obvious. You might be like, well, yeah, duh, Danielle, like.
[00:06:10] Danielle: obviously you have to do the things necessary in order to achieve your goals, but it honestly is not the norm. You know, I, I see so many entrepreneurs. I see so many people setting these goals, and then when it comes to the actual ex execution, and often that is linked to focus, that's where it starts to break down.
[00:06:29] Danielle: So we have to be incredibly intent. as business owners, as entrepreneurs about being focused on our goals and being focused on the action steps that we need to take in order to hit those goals. So we talk about this all the time inside of our program Action Takers Club. We talk about those small little baby steps that are going to lead you to massive success.
[00:06:52] Danielle: I truly believe that it's the small daily. tasks that lead you to those big goals. However, [00:07:00] if we only do those things for a short amount of time, or we're not doing them consist consistently, or we find ourselves super distracted, then we're not actually building up that momentum that we need in order to see those massive results and experience those massive breakthroughs.
[00:07:20] Danielle: Ask yourself, are you allowing distractions to come into your life and into your world that are derailing you from your main focus? So trust me, I have been so guilty of this too, is allowing yourself to get sucked into the vortex of social media randomly. Googling things, getting up from your computer.
[00:07:41] Danielle: When you're about to send that really important email, you're like, Hmm, I all of a sudden am really hungry and I'm gonna make myself a snack, or I'm gonna make myself a coffee, my third or fourth or fifth coffee of the day. Right? Like, we make up these things and these excuses, or we distract ourselves [00:08:00] because.
[00:08:00] Danielle: Things feel scary or things feel hard, or we're procrastinating on something that we know is going to have an incredible, huge, massive impact in our business. Maybe pitching ourself to that for that media opportunity. Maybe it's pitching a massive client or a sponsorship or someone to fund our company.
[00:08:20] Danielle: Like there's so many things. You know, we know we need to be focused on, but we spend our time doing these things that actually don't matter. And then when we are about to do those big things, that's when the distractions come out. It's like, oh, let me quickly check Instagram just to make sure I don't have any messages.
[00:08:38] Danielle: Right? Like, how many times have we done this? And trust me, I am so guilty of it too. How many times do we numb ourselves out by watching movies or shows? Honestly, we don't even like, and we're not even enjoying because we're distracting ourselves from the things that we actually need to do. And I'm not trying to shame anyone here at all.
[00:08:59] Danielle: Like I said, [00:09:00] this has totally been me. But when things get hard in our businesses and when we don't want to deal with the challenging aspects of what it really takes to build a successful business, we lose our focus. So what I want you to think about is, , what is this costing you? The scrolling, the browsing, the numbing.
[00:09:24] Danielle: What is it actually costing you in your business? I can speak from my own personal experience. This has cost me my goals, not hitting my goals. It's cost me opportunities. That I've missed out on. It steals my motivation and it steals my inspiration. And honestly, if I'm being honest, it also steals my joy, right?
[00:09:51] Danielle: When we go to these. Places of numbing ourself or scrolling or distracting ourself, and we spend our day bouncing from one [00:10:00] thing to the next, and our brain just feels like it has a million tabs open. What we're doing is we're not allowing ourselves to, to focus. We're not focused on the most important tasks and the most important things that we know are gonna make the biggest impact, and then everything starts to break down from there.
[00:10:19] Danielle: So I wanna challenge you. No matter when you are listening to this episode, no matter what day of the week it is, no matter if it's morning or evening, whatever that looks like, how can you practice being incredibly focused today and for the rest of this week? How can you cut out the distractions? So I wanna give you some practical things that you can.
[00:10:44] Danielle: Turn off your notifications on your phone if you have not done this yet. I know I've to, I've shared this on the podcast before, but one of the most game changing things that I did for myself and my business. As I turned off all notifications on my phone. So can you turn off your notifications? Can [00:11:00] you put your phone in another room?
[00:11:01] Danielle: When you're, when you have your work block, can you time yourself? Um, you know, when you sit down to do your work, can you time yourself for 10 minutes at a time so that when that alarm goes off you and you find yourself distracted, maybe scrolling social media or Googling something random, you can bring yourself back on task.
[00:11:22] Danielle: Can you ask for accountability? What things can you do to set yourself up for success and to set yourself up for focus? Can you go to a co-working space? And be there instead of being at home. Maybe you have too many distractions at home or go to a coffee shop and get some work done there. Really figure out what do you need in order to be able to focus on the most important things.
[00:11:49] Danielle: So I can guarantee you that if this year. in 2023. If you cut out your distractions, if you challenge yourself to stay [00:12:00] focused on your most important tasks that are linked to those big goals that you've set for yourself, the ones that are truly profitable, those tasks that you know are gonna move the needle in your business, the ones that are gonna push your business forward, I can promise you, you are going to experience a breakthrough.
[00:12:18] Danielle: You are going to experience massive. Growth. So I hope this was encouraging for you. I hope this is inspiring to you. I really do hope and pray that you're encouraged by this and also realizing that none of us are perfect. I totally get sucked into all of these things as well. So please know that I'm, I'm there with you and I know that for me, , the thing that has really, truly allowed me to experience breakthrough has been focused, and so I want that for you as well.
[00:12:45] Danielle: So no matter what has happened in the past last year, or even yesterday, or maybe even an hour ago, you can start fresh right now.
