Welcome to the Mindset Bay podcast.
If you want more confidence and motivation, then you're in the
right place every week at your dose of self development advice
and strategies. I'm your host Perry Richardson,
life coach, NLP practitioner, motivational speaker and mental
health advocate. My mission is help you find more
happiness and take more action in your life.
Now let's begin. Hello, hello, hello, babe.
Come to the 300th episode of The Mindset.
Babe, I am so happy, so excited to be with you today.
The road to 300, we did it. I am so just proud.
And I want to just take a moment to say thank you.
If you have been listening to the podcast for years, for
months, since episode 1, thank you, thank you, thank you for
listening to the show. If this is your first time
listening to the podcast, buckle up girl, because we have some
good things coming. There's good things in the past.
There's so much great content waiting for you to dig into and
I'm just so happy to be with you.
Today I was doing a huge giveaway, huge surprises on the
podcast. This month to celebrate this
huge milestone, I am giving away $100.00 gift card to Sephora and
then I'm also going to give away 4 runner up prizes, $25 gift
cards to Amazon. Because I wanted this giveaway
to be big. I wanted it to support more than
one winner. I wanted there to be more
opportunities. Just say thank you to you.
And my husband actually was like, you know what?
I want to sponsor extra $100 towards the giveaway because
hitting 300 episodes is a huge milestone.
I'm not sure if this fact is true or not, but I've like heard
it a couple of times. Maybe I should Google it myself
and do a little Fact Check, but I've heard that only 10% of
podcasters make it after the 10th episode, most podcasters
quit. Only 10% of those people move
on, and some one of those 10%. And I have a feeling there's
probably less than 5% of people that actually reach 300 podcast
episodes. So I wanted to celebrate this
huge accomplishment with you. I'm going to announce the give
away winners at the end of this podcast episode.
So those were the first two surprises.
I did not one, not 2. I did 3 surprises.
So the first surprise was giving away $300 worth of gift cards.
And I'm going to announce the winner at the end of this
episode. And then the third surprise is I
am hosting a huge free online event.
I only host free master classes once a year and the time has
come. I am hosting a master class
called How to Create Your Dream Life While Working Full time.
This is meant for the woman who's working in her corporate
field. She's in her 30s.
She feels tired and drained and honestly just feels like her job
is soul sucking. Like you're mentally checked out
by the end of your corporate job and it just seems like your
weekends are for recovery. If this is you, then you should
totally come. I'm hosting this free master
class. I would love for you to be
there. It's this upcoming Sunday, May
3rd, 3:00 PM Pacific Standard Time, 6:00 PM Eastern Time.
I wanted it to be on a Sunday for it to be perfect reset for
my corporate girly about to go off to start a new week ahead.
I'm going to teach you the mindset of commitment, the
mindset of discipline, and the mindset of determination.
And also share time management, more time management like
strategies with you in the master class.
If you didn't know, I still work my 9:00 to 5:00 and also I have
posted 300 podcast episodes. I am currently living my dream
while working full time and I want to show you the way.

life while working full time. All right, let's get into these
time management tips and then we're going to do the giveaway
winner at the end of the episode.
So yesterday I was writing the podcast script and like
collecting my thoughts and putting in my notes.
And I was really thinking like, what would be the most impactful
thing for you to learn? What could be the most impactful
thing for me to say to make sure that you're able to use your
time wisely, that you're able to be consistent with your time,
that you're able to show up when your time is limited.
And I thought of five things I want to share with you these
five things, and it's actually 4 mindset shifts in one strategy.
Stay with me. Now.
This is the Mindset Babe podcast.
I was thinking that you may be mad that it's not going to be
all strategy, but the strategy doesn't even fucking matter if
the mindset isn't behind it. So there's going to be 4 mindset
shifts in one strategy. And if you stick to the end,
your life is going to change. Are you ready?
This is the first thing you need to know when it comes to time
manage. In your time #1 when I said
this, I felt it in my whole core #1 your time is yours.
You own your time. Did you know this?
That you own your time and that your time is yours?
You have complete ownership of every hour, every day, every
year of your life. In the first step to having
excellent time management is believing this thought that your
time is yours, that you are the manager of your time.
You manage it, you own it, the time is yours.
And I want to sell you on this concept.
I wrote down 2 reasons of why you own your time #1 everything
you do is a choice. You literally don't have to do
anything, even your job. And I know you're like Perry,
but like I have to go to my job. Like that's not a choice.
But you want to work because you have bills to pay and you don't
want to be homeless. You are choosing to work instead
of being homeless, instead of you not having your light bill,
Internet, Netflix, Paramount Plus, right?
Whatever it is, whatever you're paying for, you're choosing
that. You don't have to pay for
anything. It's an option, but you are
choosing the option of not being homeless.
You are choosing the option to make money, to pay for your
bills, to go have fun, whatever it is.
That's a choice. No one is putting a gun to your
head and forcing you to go to work.
You are choosing this even the time of your shift.
I work 8:00 to 5:00. I'm actually there for 9 hours
Monday through Friday. And guess who agreed to that
schedule? It wasn't my invisible imaginary
friend, it was me. I agreed to it.
Keyword agreed. When I said yes to the job, I
knew this was going to be the schedule of the job.
I chose this and if I chose it, that means I own it.
I'm choosing. I'm owning the time to go to
work 40 hours a week. This is 100% my choice.
No one is forcing me to do this. Another thing I wanted to say is
like eating healthy. Like you don't have to eat
healthy. Like you could eat like shit
every single day. Literally no one is stopping
you. But you don't want that right?
Like you want to have healthy habits.
You are choosing to eat healthy. You are choosing to exercise and
go to the gym and go to a walk. No one is forcing you to do
these things. When I think how like I live in
America, how America is free, you are free to use your time.
And even if you don't live in America, I'm going to guess if
you're listening to this, you also have 100% authority and
ownership and freedom of the time that you have to yourself
every single day. Another example of why you
actually own your time is time is honestly really like the only
thing you have until you die, which kind of sounds morbid but
hear me out here. Time is what you start with and
time is what you end with. You're not going to come out
with clothes, nor are you going to keep your clothes.
When you go into the afterlife, you don't come out with your
personality or your looks like you look completely different
from when you are a baby. Your personality has probably
changed compared to when you first came out, right?
But time has always been the consistent through line of life
for me, for my mom, for the generations before me, the
generations after me. The only thing we truly really
have, the only thing we truly really own is our time.
So that's tip #1 it's not really a tip.
It's more like a mindset hack. So let's hack #1 hack number 2
is time is the most reliable and consistent thing you'll ever
have. Time is literally the same.
Every single day, Every single year it's the same.
And I'm a huge believer, I've been saying this for years, that
time is the most reliable relationship you'll ever have.
More reliable than any man, more reliable than any friendship or
family member. Time is reliable.
It is consistent. We know exactly what it's going
to be about, right? The parameters to create your
dream life. They're there every single day,
consistently, every single day. 60 seconds in a minute, 60
minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, 365 days in a year, 52
weeks in a year. I'm like trying to think of like
all the time like things. I'm like, I think I covered them
all, but they're always the same.
The rules haven't changed at all.
It's consistent, it's reliable. Like time is boring.
It's the same thing every single day.
Nothing is changing about it. Like we got to get on schedule,
no pun intended. Like we need to get on board
with the rules. It's there.
Like for us, we own the time and every single day we just watch
it by like something different is going to happen.
Like we're going to get an extra hour or we're going to get an
extra day. Nothing is extra about it, no
pun intended. Extra, extra, read all about it.
Do what you need to do, stop reading and take action.
So that's the second like mindset, like hack to really
know time is consistent, it's reliable.
Like we need to get on board with it.
It is what it is. I have an example that I wrote,
but I feel like it's really for like the first point I talked
about how your time is your time, but I'm just going to say
it now. OK, Here's the example I wrote
in my notes. I want you to imagine that
there's a stray dog and he's just so cute and he's so sweet.
Like he's such a good boy. And every single day, like
clockwork, he lays on your front porch.
And after a while, you, like, start giving him some food, You
start giving him water. And he comes back day after day,
month after month, year after year.
And after a while, you're like, where is this dog's owner?
Does a dog even have a owner? Let me see if I can collect the
dog. Get the dog right.
Take it to the vet, see if it's chipped.
You get the dog. There's no chip and then you're
just like, you know what, I'm going to own the dog now.
And I'm not sure if that's like the best example, but if the dog
is going to show up every single day, let's own it like how time
shows up every single day. Let's also let's own it just
like how we would, you know what, let's just take the dog in
if it's showing up every single day, the I'm the captain now.
I'm the owner now of this dog. All right #3 the third mindset
hack about time. You need to know that life
doesn't wait for anyone. Life isn't waiting for you to
get your shit together. Life isn't waiting for you to be
perfect. Life isn't waiting for you to
have enough time. Life isn't waiting for you to
not be tired. Life isn't waiting for you to be
motivated and be excited and rah rah about your goals.
Life is going with or without you.
So I highly suggest you get on the train.
The time to act is now. The time to take action is
today. We don't have time for delays.
The train is leaving the station in 15 minutes.
We need to go to the bathroom and we need to fill up our water
and we need to get on that platform.
That's what we need to do, right?
We don't have time to waste. Can you believe that this month
is already over? It's pretty much May.
The year is pretty much halfway gone.
We don't have time to think and plan.
We need to go, and I'm not saying abandoned all plans and
to not be thoughtful with what you do, but we need to speed
that process up. I hold on to my ideas for two
weeks. After two weeks, it's
implemented into the world. I give myself two weeks to plan,
to get over my fear, my drama, to get coaching on my mindset
and my strategy. I give myself two weeks and then
I act and I get going because your girl has things to do and I
have my full time job. I don't have time to waste.
I got to get going 'cause I got money to make.
Oh, that was so good. That could be a song.
I don't got time to wait. I got money to make.
Hey. Oh yeah, but for real, if you
don't have time to waste and you have money to make because you
are a working woman, you need to get to this master class if you
are struggling with work life balance.
I got you girl. The teaching in this master
class is going to be so good. It's going to be so juicy, like
the things I'm going to be teaching you.
I cannot wait. You want to register with the
link in the description box. All right #4 is no, that you're
not going to want to do it. I actually had someone message
me on my Facebook and she was like, I'm thinking about
starting a podcast. Any tips?
And one of the things I thought of was no, that you're not going
to want to do it. I have been posting 300 podcast
episodes and I would say maybe 30, I think maybe 20 episodes.
I was actually really excited and jazzed to record.
Typically, even before this podcast episode, I was like, uh,
I got to record this. I don't want to do this and I
actually record my podcast in the morning before I go to work
and there could be a million and other one things that I could be
doing anymore, like sleeping, like laying in my bed, like
scrolling on my phone, like there's like other things I
could really be doing right now, but I'm choosing to do this.
But if I could be completely real with you, I really never
feel motivated to record this podcast.
And I love to tell my clients, like, I'm never motivated to pay
my bills. I'm never motivated to wash the
dishes or to put my laundry away or, you know, to clean my
clothes. Never am I motivated to do those
things. But it gets done because I'm
determined. I'm determined to have my bills
paid and to have Internet and to have Netflix and have the roof
over my head and to have water and electricity.
Like I'm determined to have all those things.
Like we need all those things. And I'm determined to have clean
clothes when I go to work. So I got to do the clothes.
I've never motivated to do the things, but I'm determined to
get the results. And I think this is the
definition of adulting, right? Like doing the things you don't
want to do, like paying your bills, going to work, cooking,
cleaning. But it's like something that we
got to do. And I know sometimes it feels
like we're teenagers. Like sometimes it feels weird
that I'm in my 30s and I'm just like, it feels like I'm, I'm
still like a 21 year old. I don't know.
I don't know, feels kind of weird because time is just going
without me and I got to hop on the train.
I got to hop on the train. It's boarding soon, so random,
Not even sure where I'm going with that.
But that's what adulting is, is doing things that you don't want
to do, putting on your big girl peonies and showing up because
that's what adults do. They suck it up and they do
things. They do things that aren't fun.
They do things that aren't pleasurable, that aren't
motivating. Adults do grimy, tough, hard
shit every single day. Welcome to adulthood.
Can't we go back to childhood? But that is something I really
wanted to say is when it's time to create your dream life.
You're not going to want to do it.
You're not going to be excited to do it.
You're going to want to do a million and one things besides
that 9 out of 10 times. But we do it anyway because
we're adults. All right, So those are the four
mindset shifts I had to give you.
Like, if you just really adopt those 4 mindset principles,
you'll be taking action like all day, every day.
You will be consistent. The last thing the strategy that
I have to talk about is you need to put your To Do List on your
calendar. A to do list is never ending.
Does your To Do List have To Do List?
And I just feel like when I used to have my To Do List, things
would just never be completed. I would always have one or two
things on my To Do List that I never got done.
And then I would have shame that I didn't get it done.
I would feel disappointed, like, Oh my goodness, like you had all
these things done and you didn't do these two and you're a
failure and it's never going to work out.
And just all the negative thoughts, right?
Has that happened to you too? But I ended up putting my To Do
List on my calendar. And the reason why I do this is
for multiple things, but number one is because it's a great way
to create the time because when something is on your todo list,
it's like, when are we going to do this?
There's not really a spot of when we're going to do this.
When you put your To Do List item on your calendar, you're
like, I know exactly when and where I'm going to do this.
I know exactly how much time this is going to take.
And it has given me so much freedom from anxiety because I
feel like my anxiety would be like, when am I going to do
this? When am I going to do that?
And I got over there and I'm going to add this over here
versus like, I know exactly when I'm going to do this.
I'm going to record the podcast Monday morning at 5:45 or I know
exactly when I'm going to work out.
I'm going to work out on Wednesday after work at 6:00 PM,
right? It's like I know exactly when
this is going to happen. It helps my anxiety completely
calm down and I know exactly when it's going to get done.
I don't have to stress about it anymore.
It helps me create the time for my life.
And another reason why I love to do this is because the excuse of
I don't have time is irrelevant because you made the time.
You put aside the time. For example, like recording this
podcast, it's on my calendar and I was downstairs just hanging
out in my kitchen and 5:30 hit. I'm like, I really got to go
over there and I'm like scrolling on my phone and I'm on
Instagram and I'm like, it's time to record.
You set the time to do this. It's time to do it.
And now look at me, I'm doing it.
I'm doing it. So those are the five time
management tips for busy corporate women #1 the thing
that you need to know is that your time is your time.
The second thing that you need to know is time is the most
reliable, the most consistent relationship you will ever have
#3 life doesn't wait for anyone #4 know that you're not going to
want to do it and #5 put your To Do List actually on your
calendar. Create a start and end time.
When and where are you actually going to do the thing and put it
in your calendar. So those are the five time
management tips, mindset hacks, things you need to know when it
comes to time management. Are you ready for the giveaway?
