Quick question for everyone 👇 When do you feel most productive during the day? 🌅 Morning ☀️ Afternoon 🌙 Night And why do you think that is? Curious to see the different answers.

You KNOW what to do…So why aren’t you doing it? This week on YAP, Nir Eyal broke it down simply: 👉 Your beliefs drive your behavior. No belief = no action. No matter how much discipline you try to force. This moment stopped me: I said, “I’m always late.” He paused and said:👉 “Careful. Whatever follows ‘I am’ becomes your identity.” That hit hard! Because I realized… I was reinforcing the exact behavior I wanted to change. If you’re stuck, try this: Stop asking → “What should I do?” Start asking → “What do I believe about myself?” That’s where the real work is. Go watch this episode if you’re tired of knowing what to do… but still not doing it. 🎧 Listen on Apple 🎧 Listen on Spotify 📺 Watch on YouTube Listen, learn, profit.

When Hala Taha invites you to show up, you show up. Here’s a little about my path and why I do what I do. At 52 former CPA, actual Medical Office Manager in the middle of COVID, I started writing romance novels. I had zero plan. I just needed somewhere to put my creativity and it turned into five published books under my pen name Nikki Kiley. Honestly? I fell in love with telling stories about women figuring themselves out.Then I realized I was in the middle of my own. I took Alyssa Nobriga’s Coaching Mastery Certification Course (she’s also the host of Healing & Human Potential Podcast) and got certified as a life coach and kept meeting the same woman over and over. Different face, different professions, but the same feeling. Successful on paper. Quietly wondering if there was something more meant for her. I knew that woman. I had been that woman. So I started The Joy Shift podcast because that story deserved a voice.

Hey YAP Fam! I’m curious… what’s one skill you’re focusing on improving next week? Whether it’s something big like mastering AI or perfecting your time management, I want to hear about it! For me, I’m 100% focused on AI and setting up my "second brain." I'm organizing my task system where my inbox and Slack are monitored for tasks twice a day, so I stay on top of things. Plus, I can give AI voice directions to draft responses to emails, and I just tweak the drafts in my inbox. It’s massively improved my productivity. As a busy CEO, training a new Chief of Staff has been a challenge, but this AI setup has honestly been a lifesaver! Let’s all share our goals and hold each other accountable 💪 Drop yours below! 👇
