A champion of<br \/>\ncommunity and for communities, he specializes in helping people<br \/>\nmake progress and has created a methodology called The Progress Pod<br \/>\nAccountability Group System where he helps people set up small<br \/>\nmastermind groups to help them continue making progress. Within<br \/>\nthose small groups, they use the Next Tiny Step Method.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve all felt overwhelmed when<br \/>\nit comes to goal setting and reaching our goals. We set goals, and<br \/>\nwhen we don\u2019t reach them, we set even more goals.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>More goals = Overwhelm<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. So, in order to reduce the overwhelm, Richard<br \/>\ncreated the Next Tiny Step Method where instead of putting the<br \/>\nfocus on the end result, you start at the tiniest first step at the<br \/>\nbeginning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s really down to two<br \/>\nquestions. What do you want? And when are you going to do<br \/>\nit?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Next Tiny Step is the<br \/>\nprocess of making one single action. An action that is so small<br \/>\nit\u2019s immediately doable and you see the progress right away, which<br \/>\nin turn motivates you even more and rids you of overwhelm. If life<br \/>\nhappens to get in the way of your next tiny step &#8211; shift it to the<br \/>\nnext available white space in your calendar. It\u2019s that<br \/>\neasy!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So grab your pen and paper and<br \/>\ntake notes &#8211; we\u2019ve got a mindset shift you\u2019ll want to use not just<br \/>\nin your shop, but in your life! It\u2019s time to gain clarity on your<br \/>\ngoals, take action, and make progress!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Goals are a direction to go in, not a<br \/>\ndestination to get to.<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d<br \/>\n&#8211; Richard Ralston<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Full show notes here https:\/\/wendybatten.com\/142\/<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>(function(d, s, id) {\n      var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n      if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n      js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n      js.src = \"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.8&appId=834757889913083\";\n      fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n    }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><p><a href=\"https:\/\/dmsretail.com\/online-workshops-list\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-496\" src=\"https:\/\/dmsretail.com\/RetailNews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/RETAIL-ONLINE-TRAINING-728-X-90.png\" alt=\"Retail Online Training\" width=\"729\" height=\"91\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dmsretail.com\/RetailNews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/RETAIL-ONLINE-TRAINING-728-X-90.png 729w, https:\/\/dmsretail.com\/RetailNews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/RETAIL-ONLINE-TRAINING-728-X-90-300x37.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 729px) 100vw, 729px\" \/><\/a><\/p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jan 30, 2023 Show Notes\u00a0 \u00a0 If we want to make real progress, we need to stop setting more goals. \u00a0 I am thrilled to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1859,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8526","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-podcasts"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dmsretail.com\/RetailNews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8526","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dmsretail.com\/RetailNews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dmsretail.com\/RetailNews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dmsretail.com\/RetailNews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dmsretail.com\/RetailNews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8526"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dmsretail.com\/RetailNews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8526\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dmsretail.com\/RetailNews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1859"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dmsretail.com\/RetailNews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8526"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dmsretail.com\/RetailNews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8526"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dmsretail.com\/RetailNews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
