Kicking EXCUSES to the Curb! | Very Important Things with Melissa Maker | Part 2

- Excuses are what separate successful people from those who can't seem to make it. I want to help you see that excuses are total losers that waste our time and keep us from achieving more in our lives. In this video, we get to the bottom of them and kick them to the curb. The amazing life you CAN have is kept just out of reach when excuses prevail. Here's how I overcome the urge to make excuses and push past the garbage to attain what I really want. I hope you do the same with these concepts.

Thank you Melissa.
:) And now... a few obligatory quotes:
"A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but not much grows there." -unknown
"Push yourself because no one else is going to do it for you." -unknown
"Don't downgrade your dream just to fit your reality. Upgrade your conviction to match your destiny." 🙂 💕
OH WOW! These are wonderful!
All of this is so true. Thank you so much for the reminder !!!
You are welcome, thanks for saying that!
Great lesson. Amazing👏👏😊
"If it's working elsewhere, it's likely going to work if you put your mind to it." Man, I love this.
❤️
I realize it is pretty randomly asking but do anybody know a good site to stream new movies online?
I loved the reason you were not invited back!! It hurt but wow way to use the words in a positive way to change your circumstances!!!! Congratulations on being someone who grew! So many ppl stay hurt and never learn!
Carol Weinberg the reason why she wasn’t invited back to be a summer counselor and then how she became an amazing inspiration to all who watch her videos about how to clean their space
Love the vids. It’s so true we like to make excuses and yes the more we are able to put ourselves in the face of luck by working hard the more chance luck can fall on us. Love the leopard dress also.
Glad to hear!! Thank you :)
Love this series! I'm really on a productivity kick myself and just made a video about how fear has been stopping me lately. I love this advice!
That's amazing!! I hope it helps!
Didn't make any excuses and watched this video and the previous one..loved both. definitely got some food for thought.
waiting for the next one in this series.
Thanks for saying that- wonderful to hear!
Hi Melissa you have great points and tips thank foir sharing.
Thank you for saying that!
Melissa, You Are Beautiful ✨
I’m enjoying the current content. I don’t have a topic to suggest just yet, however, all that you’ve shared thus far is very encouraging. 😊
Thanks for saying that :)
AMEN!!!! 👍 my fears based in “ I’m not smart enough “
Oh yeah, I know that one. You can change out your internal messaging to, 'I AM smart enough!"
ABSOLUTELY!
I'm thoroughly enjoying these videos lately. I'm maybe afraid of success & I don't feel I'm worthy of success.
Greetings from South Africa
Hi there! This is common, but remember that you are just as worthy as ANYONE else!
Going to start a new job soon after maternity. A much needed and a 'VERY IMPORTANT' video😊.Keep inspiring Mrs.Strength☺
Good to hear!! Good luck with the new job!
@@melissamaker Thanks a ton.😘
I've always hate taking chance or risks. It's hard to change.
Yes, it's so comfortable to stay where we are - but then we can't expect more than what we already have.
happyflowers1212 it is hard but I think it’s harder to to look back on your life and regret what you didn’t try.
@@SarahLizDoan Thank you both. My mind agrees with you both 100% my anxiety wants to run away and hide. I'm going to try to not let it hold me back. Xx (ps I love the cms community so kind)
Good one! I like this motivational direction. :D
Thank you so much!
Love these videos!!!
This is why I deleted FB and IG from my phone 👍🏼
I can see why you'd do that - it's so distracting!
I did the same, I was so addicted! It's amazing how much more productive I am and how much more I read now. My instinct was to click open social media whenever I was bored, now I pick up a book or watch an educational RUclips video!
@@stephaniepipkin6520 Me too! It was ridiculous, the amount I spent doing nothing useful 🙄
@@melissamaker It was becoming a life/time sucker!
Same here! Deleted FB! Not Insta, probably bcz i only follow few youtubers there, whom I already love watching here on YT!
Thanks for the information....and off the topic, but where did you buy your couches?
They are from Restoration Hardware :)
"I haven't found the time...UH huh..."
I heard "come on now... 😒" 😂😂😂
Sorry, off topic but where did you get that brown leather chair from? It’s gorgeous!
Thanks! It is from a store called Elte Market in Toronto :)
Summer Camp Counselor...Maybe, in the far off future, you'll get to join your Daughter on an overnight camping trip and show them a thing or two!
LOL! I would love to!
I started a RUclips channel but the tech part it’s hard for me and sometimes i don’t know how to balance work (on my channel) and take care of my 23 months old. I guess it would be time management to learn and produce while being a mom
It's a lot to figure out, but you GOT it!
My excuse, I have small children! It’s not really an excuse, but an obstacle. I have a 9 year old, 3 year old and a 3 month old that I stay home with. I find it impossible to go back to work or school.
It is hard to get much done with little ones around. That said, if you are ever able to get the small ones in a program or find a way to have someone watch them for a bit, etc. you can start to make time for what you want. Start small, build. Once they are old enough you'll have made a good amount of small steps toward what you want. Good luck with it!!!
What excuses are holding you back from achieving more?
Melissa Maker I want to become a lawyer but I’m scared that I would be a failure. The excuses I use are I’m busy, my kids need me and I don’t have money for law school.
I can’t agree with everything you said. Not for myself but for others. It’s like blaming the poor for not succeeding. When the structure of our society is targeted against certain demographics.
When people are working 3 to 4 jobs plus raising a family just to eat and keep a roof over their heads. Walking everywhere because they can’t afford transport. When they barely have time to eat and sleep everyday.
I just find that sometimes those excuses aren’t really excuses at all. There’s a reason poverty can be generational. There’s reasons why such a tiny percentage of people living in some locations don’t find it plausible to succeed the way they would like to.
As a society we need to make a way for people. To balance the playing field. To support one another in our families, neighbourhood, communities and nations.
Just my 2 cents.
Fair enough - I do agree that there are certain parts of the population that have circumstances that are outside of their control. That said, now and again you do hear stories about people who come from those situations and have risen above. Those truly are the people who believed they could do anything...and they did!
squalloogal Agree, I would like to succeed more too. My hubby and I can’t find a good paying job, but no one wants to hire etc. Some people can’t Succeed at what they want to, like most people in poverty.
Ali apartmentgirl360 I hear you. We often point to the one or two people who manage to navigate the maze and succeed. But then we, as a society, judge those who haven’t made it yet. We victim blame rather than trying to solve the issues for one another.
None of us succeed when others in our community suffer. We judge the person who has to over come 3 hurdles in life the same way we judge somebody who has to overcome 1000. We stop working together to find solutions for everybody and just focus on ourselves.
Why have so few got access to all the wealth and all the power and every resource?
Why can some access great education and medical care easily?
Why can one person afford a home working only one job, working 8hrs, 5 days a week, and another has to work 18hrs just to stay alive.
We hear the news and forget there are people attached to the stories. We become numb to the number of deaths happening in our streets, our schools, when it’s not touching those close to us.
We’ve been fed fear and lies so that we are divided from one another. “Oh, they must be lazy because they struggle to feed their kids.” “ I don’t see a reason they aren’t doing well because others from that (insert group of people here) community have become super successful.”
And if we are lucky enough to succeed, many of us don’t look back or around us. Why can’t we help others up? Why can’t we share our resources? Why can’t we protect one another and succeed together?
It’s really frustrating to me to see so many struggling so hard through no fault of their own.
I just want to say that I hear you, I see you, you’re not a failure and you’re not alone in your struggle. No judgement here.
Wishing you all the best and for the rest of us to wake up and take care of each other.
@@squalloogal My daughter was told education was the way to wealth. Now she is 80,000.00 in debt and trying to pay it off with a 15.00 an hr job. Have our millenials been lied to about the opportunities an education can provide? oh, and a lot of "less fortunate " of society can get that same education for free.
Linda Bridgwater the education system is a mess. Why was college once free and now most students in need (middle class and below) have to pay thousands with interest? Even those who worked for the government with the promise of forgiveness of that debt, got ripped off.
TBH, for the US, I liked Bernie Sanders plan regarding debt, healthcare etc... Would solve many problems for our youth, our ageing and our workforce.
Here's a fun fact about me that is not an excuse. I am legally blind. I can't always see well enough to do much of anything.
You looking beautiful in animal print top
Aww thank you!
If we didn't take chances then we would not have flip flops which you should be wearing on every video
* Everyone's circumstances are different. For some, the challenges exceed what anyone should endure. For example, not having family or anyone to help, and, having serious health issues on top of that, along w/other major hardships beyond their control... and, they are still working their butt off. In time, it may be possible for them to work into a better situation, but they are not necessarily using excuses.
*It is not for anyone else to judge. Most people know when they are doing all they can, and, they know when they are making excuses. People glued to a pattern of excuses will probably stay that way, unless something forces them out of it. If they do want help w/life skills, there are appropriate professionals for that.
*Motivational tools ARE great for all people! :) While these suggestions are common sense for many, it might be helpful for some C.M.S. listeners to hear them from you on occasion - just friendly reminders of positive steps they can take to achieve certain tasks. :)
* Melissa and Chad, Now that you are parents on top of owning a cleaning company, you may feel ready to add self help tips/life lessons to your videos. However, please be careful about trying to counsel people on anything other than cleaning, organizing and running a small business. In many cases, this should be left to professional counselors and other trained areas of expertise. Thank you! :)
Thanks for your comment. To clarify, I am not trying to provide professional counselling, I am simply responding to the many, many requests I get about the topic. I know what I am an expert in and what I am not! I am just trying to encourage people because these tools helped me so much along my journey.
Nan Dep 🤦♀️ your entire comment ate up too much of my time.
Hi new subscriber here can you please do a feet fetish video please thank you
