24-40. Sara Screws Up


Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from October 1st

“It happens—we screw up, make mistakes, and all we can do is own them, apologize, and learn from them. But don’t beat yourself up over it. We’re human, and growth comes from those missteps. Acknowledge it, make amends where you can, and keep moving forward with the wisdom gained. Life’s journey isn’t about being perfect; it’s about being present and embracing the lessons along the way.”

“When we drop the ball—and let’s face it, we all do—we need to find tools that will serve our memories and help us stay on top of appointments. It’s about creating a system that works for us. And don’t forget to trust that little voice in the back of your head, the one nudging you, trying to remind you of something important. It’s often right, and learning to listen to it can make all the difference.”

“With 11 years and over 3,700 podcasts under my belt, there’s always admin work that needs updating. Trying to get hold of someone in tech can be a nightmare—it’s like human beings have vanished from tech support! No offense to AI, I love it and what it can do, but sometimes the responses feel limited. There’s just something about speaking to a real person when you’re knee-deep in tech issues.”

So own the mistakes, reschedule, and make sure your reminder is up to date and there to remind you when you need it. “So, own the mistakes, reschedule, and move forward. Make sure your reminders are up to date and ready to nudge you when you need them most. It’s all about being accountable, staying organized, and giving yourself the tools to succeed—because we all need a little backup now and then.”

BB24-39. “Dr. DJ” Johnson-Blake, Time Management


Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Dr. DJ” Johnson-Blake, on air from September 24th

Mastering Time: 5 Wins for Effective Time Management

While time management is critical to planning a productive day, many people who attempt to manage time and get more done each day fail because they do not plan accordingly. I faced similar challenges as a paralegal before it came full circle in 1992 when I failed to file a personal injury legal complaint within a two-year statute of limitations. After allowing this mistake to haunt me for years, I eventually earned a Master of Public Administration and Doctor of Management, presented my thesis, and defended my dissertation, which focused on time management’s impact on organizational success and leadership. Because of a mistake I made early in my career, time management was critical to me. Now, I help leaders and organizations learn effective time management techniques to be more productive and efficient time managers.

In this insightful episode, join Dr. Deborah Johnson-Blake as she explores the transformative power of mastering time with “5 Wins for Effective Time Management.” Discover practical strategies to revolutionize your daily routine, enhance productivity, and reduce stress. Dr. DJ unveils the quick wins behind making every second count, from prioritizing high-impact tasks and delegating effectively, tackling quick tasks immediately to maintain momentum, allocating daily time for focused work, enhancing focus and energy through strategic breaks, and incorporating consistent wellness practices into your routine. Learn how to avoid common pitfalls like multitasking and frequent interruptions, and instead, leverage tools and techniques that truly work. Whether you’re a busy professional, an entrepreneur, a student, or anyone else who feels that the clock rules their lives, these tips will empower you to reclaim your time and achieve more with less effort. Tune in to transform your time management approach and unlock new efficiency and success levels.

24-39. Engage not Pitch


Sara’ View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from September 24th

“Do you remember when websites were cluttered with Flash animations, constantly blinking and flashing in your face? It was not only distracting but also incredibly off-putting for anyone genuinely interested in learning about a company. Fast forward to today, and we find ourselves facing a similar annoyance—this time on social media.

The incessant pitches flooding our texts, messengers, and feeds have become just as irritating. Where is the meaningful engagement? Where is the effort to build a genuine relationship? Instead of fostering a dialogue, many have resorted to broadcasting messages without taking the time to understand what their audience truly needs. Real connection comes from conversation, not one-way pitches.”

“I can’t, nor do I want to, buy from everyone. If you truly want to be inviting, start by engaging. Open a conversation and take the time to understand if what you offer is even a good fit for the other person. It’s about connection, not just making a sale. By understanding each other’s needs, you can find out if there’s a genuine match rather than just another transaction.”

“I share my shows across social media as an open invitation—listen if you feel inclined. I have no desire to ram it down anyone’s throat. It’s about offering something of value, not forcing it upon people.”

“It’s about building trust, making people feel heard, and showing them that you genuinely care. They need to know they’re not just another dollar sign to you. True connection comes from understanding and valuing each individual, not just pushing a product or agenda.”

“Take the time to be illuminating, engaging, and inviting. When you do this, people will naturally want to connect with you and discover what you have to offer. It’s about creating a space where curiosity and interest can grow organically.”

“Sales will naturally come from those who feel a genuine connection with you and trust that you have their best interests at heart. It’s not just about the product—it’s about building a relationship founded on trust and mutual respect.”

“The best kind of business comes from referrals—when people have had such a positive experience with you that they can’t help but share it with others. That kind of word-of-mouth is built on trust, satisfaction, and genuine connection.”

“So, slow down. Take the time to understand who you need to connect with and truly engage with them. Real relationships aren’t rushed; they are built through genuine interest and meaningful interaction.”
