Is summertime chaos throwing your goals off track? 

You're definitely not alone! Even the most motivated among us can struggle to maintain focus when schedules get disrupted and routines fly out the window.

In this episode, I shared a powerful concept called the Attitude Wheel that perfectly illustrates the emotional ups and downs we experience while working on a new project.

“The Attitude Wheel… helped me always realize, one, my feelings are normal, and two, how to get out of that dippy dump area, that dip where we might want to give in and say, I'm not supposed to be doing this, I can't do this.”

The Attitude Wheel breaks down this emotional journey into four distinct stages:

• Excitement (12 o'clock): You're brimming with enthusiasm and feel unstoppable.
• Doubt (3 o'clock): The initial excitement wanes and the finish line seems miles away.
• Fear and Procrastination (6 o'clock): Self-doubt creeps in, and you start questioning your abilities. Procrastination becomes your best friend (or worst enemy!).
• Renewal (9 o'clock): You remind yourself of your “why” and refuel your motivation.

The key takeaway? These emotional shifts are totally normal! The important thing is to recognize them and have strategies in place to move through the inevitable dips in motivation.

This episode equips you with 7 actionable tips to navigate the Attitude Wheel and stay on track, including:

• Revisit your “why”: Reconnect with the core reasons behind your goal.
• Remember the reward: Focus on the positive outcome and how it outweighs the challenges.
• Create mini-habits: Break down your goals into small, manageable tasks.
• Schedule breaks: Avoid burnout by incorporating dedicated rest periods.
• Work with your energy: Match your activities to your natural energy levels.
• Seek support: Don't hesitate to ask for help from others.
• Take action: Commit to a single step within 24 hours to keep the momentum going.

Sheri Miter Serial Entrepreneur

Sheri Miter is a serial entrepreneur. Her first business was selling painted rocks to neighbors when she was 7! This entrepreneurial spirit led her to many failures but also some huge successes, such as a Chimney Cleaning business with her husband Tom, a professional firefighter, and eventually a business as a Mary Kay sales director. While in Mary Kay, Sheri led her team to six-figure years multiple times, and YES, she drove the iconic pink Cadillac for part of her career!

Despite her success as a Sales Director in Mary Kay, Sheri found herself at a crossroads after 25 years. She began to question if this was the path she truly wanted for the next decade of her life. Even after achieving her best year, she felt a sense of weariness and asked herself, 'Is it ever going to be enough?' This internal struggle led her to a brave decision- to step away from her role as a Sales Director and embark on a new journey. This journey led her to become a Gallup Certified CliftonStrengths Coach. Today, Sheri has crafted a life she loves, assisting other highly successful women to discover their 'what’s next' career. She is passionate about working with women who have achieved success making the money, but are now eager to make an impact by unleashing their God-given strengths and embracing their true calling!

When Sheri isn’t busy with her clients or recording a new podcast, she cherishes her time with her grandkids and embarks on exciting adventures with her husband. Their escapades often include the beach, biking, or out boats. At the end of a fulfilling day, they savor the beauty of the sunset with a cocktail in hand, a testament to Sheri's belief in enjoying life's journey.

Sheri’s Top 5 CliftonStrengths: Futuristic, Maximizer, Self-Assurance, Command, Strategic.

Her motto is “Life is way too short, so we HAVE to enjoy the journey.”
