People always ask me, "Marisa, how do you get so much done?" And, "How have you sustained this level of output for SO MANY years?" Ever heard the expression, if you want to get something done, give it to a busy person? We all have, and for good reason -- because it’s absolutely true… And the reason why this is true relates to a little-known principle called Parkinson’s Law. Parkinson’s Law states that “work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion”… It’s estimated that up to 50% of an average employee’s time is wasted time. After all – when you have 8 hours to get your work done, why would you be incentivized to get it done faster? But - when you allow the same employee to work from home or give them time flexibility -- all other things being equal -- they'll do the same work much faster. Because now, the faster they get it done, the sooner they’ll be able to get on with all their other priorities. Things like family, friends, hobbies, you name it. So the secret to getting things done is to create specific blocks for their completion... whether you block out time to create an online course or program or you block out time for exercise or date night -- or anything that's important to you. As Stephen Covey says, "The key is not to prioritize your schedule, but to schedule your priorities." We ALL have enough time WHEN we choose to schedule our priorities and focus our time on what really matters... Most people give their time away to the squeaky wheel or the urgent fires that need to be put out rather than focusing their time on moving toward their desires... DON'T DO THIS. #entrepreneuradvice #entrepreneurship #onlineentrepreneur #onlinebusiness

The secret to building an enduring business that stands the test of time is the same as it always has been... Identifying your unique value and being of service in a way that no one else can ?? #onlinebusinessowner #onlineentrepreneur #wednesdaywisdom #wisdomwednesday

I don't know about you, but I watched The Wizard of Oz when I was a kid, and I remember Judy Garland singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow, Way Out There. And I think so often in our culture, we spend this time daydreaming and imagining other lives for ourselves or imagining ourselves in other people's lives, wondering what it must be like and thinking they've got it great. But the thing that I know after coaching and training over 15,000 people is that it's a choice to focus on your life versus trying to live all of these parallel lives simultaneously. There's this amazing Native American expression: you can spend your entire life in your own backyard and never truly know a blade of grass. And so many of us jump from thing to thing to thing to thing versus owning and focusing on the thing that we love... and going so deep that you see more and more layers of that thing. So you can choose to know something really well, or you can try to know a thousand things a little bit. While it's exciting and fun to learn a little bit about a lot, that's not the way to build a successful business because you've got to develop specialized knowledge. And the only way to do that is through focus... Instead of focusing on where the grass is greener, concentrate on this little patch of lawn you have right there in front of you.

It's one thing to have an unreasonable vision -- it's another thing entirely to move towards that vision every single day regardless of what's going on in the world. And the truth is... we've all got reasons (and excuses -- like Imposter Syndrome) that prevent us from moving forward in our business -- or even prevent us from getting started. So what's holding you back? Write those things down, say them out loud... then tear them up or burn them. Whatever you do, say -- good riddance!
