Jan, welcome to Goalbusters!

JAN
I'm thrilled to be here, Robin. Thank you for having me.

ROBIN
I'm thrilled you're here too, especially as we've established you're a very, very long way away. Where did you say you were again?

JAN
I live in British Columbia, Canada. So, yes, I am on the other side of the pond.

ROBIN
That's right. I'm in Torquay in Devon, and so that's for me is a long way away. And so it's very kind of you to agree to do this because it's not just miles, but it's also times. It's morning for you, and it's late evening for me. So that's wonderful. Thank you so much for doing this today. Shall we start the questions, Jan?

JAN
Absolutely.

ROBIN
Alright. I'll just get the clock on the screen.

And there it goes. Jan, let's talk about what you do, please. Who is your ideal client?

02:39 JAN Ideal Client
My ideal client, Robin, is someone like me. So someone who's over forty, deeply purpose driven, spiritual, soulful, and tired of playing small. I've been an entrepreneur, as you said, for forty years, and yet there was a time that I was really stuck. People would look at me and say, how can you be so intelligent, so brilliant, so hardworking, and you are so messed up?

Now that's the PG version of what they actually said, but it was like, Jan, what's wrong with you? And it was a horrible feeling, Robin, to know that I had so much in me, and yet it wasn't being expressed properly. It wasn't flowing. It wasn't working. I wasn't making money. I was actually homeless, almost bankrupt. And life sucked, to put it mildly.

And that's when I realized that I needed more than just what I was getting from my coaches and from all the personal development work that I was doing. And I'm glad I did because it's really helped me and give me the tools to go and help other people who, like me, are feeling stuck that they're not living their fullest potential, and it's frustrating.

ROBIN
Oh, wow. Okay. That's powerful. Thank you very much. And a very moving story. And it also segues us nicely into the second question, which you've alluded to quite a lot there. But what is the problem or problems that you solve specifically, please, Jan?

04:05 JAN – Problem Solved
Robin if it was just as simple as walking on fire, which I did, or doing the personal development work, reading the right books, or working with the right coaches, it would be easy. But what I discovered is that there were deep subconscious blocks around sales, money, and even success. I had been raised in a cult and spent thirty-eight years in a cult where all of those things were very much dismissed and were deemed not important.

So my subconscious mind didn't resonate with success, didn't resonate with being, having money and that's what's happened to a lot of people is their subconscious mind, I call it the five CEOs, so it's your conscious mind, your subconscious mind, body, soul, and spirit. It would be like having a team and a business that aren't working together. You're gonna have chaos and that's exactly what people have. When those are not aligned, it is an uphill battle.

So I help clear that sabotage and create a powerful team so you are actually working and you end up making money, and life works. It's brilliant.

ROBIN
Yeah. It does sound brilliant. Thank you very much. That sounds fascinating. So moving on, what is one Valuable Free Action that the audience can implement that will help them to solve the problem or problems that you have mentioned?

05:25 JAN – Valuable Free Action (VFA)
I think one of the biggest problems that people have today is they don't know how to decide.

I love Raymond Charles Barker's quote, which is “indecision is the decision to fail”. And people live in that place of waffling, indecision, should I, shouldn't I. They talk to everybody and their dog about what they should do. Just decide.

My mom used to say, and it's not crude, but it's pretty blunt. She used to say, Peter, get off the pot. And it really made me realize that I had to make decisions in order to create the life that I wanted.

And that's where entrepreneurs, people decide. Make a decision.

Raise your prices to stop discounting. Whatever you're looking at doing, decide because clarity comes after the decision, not before. And as long as you're not making decisions, you don't have the clarity, which means that you are stuck, and you always will be until you learn to decide.

ROBIN
Yeah. Absolutely. Great quote. Not and, doctor Sean, I've come across that one before, but I certainly understand the sentiment.
“Indecision is a decision to fail”. I certainly get that. Perfect. Thank you. So now that we have a much better understanding of what you do, Joan, let's dive into GoalBusting, focusing on to how to maximize productive time to achieve business goals.

Could you share any tips or advice for someone looking to improve their productivity habits?

06:50 JAN – Valuable Productive Action (VPA)
I think one of the best things that I came across many years ago, probably twenty years ago, was something called sacred gifts, and I still live by that. We assume, especially as entrepreneurs, that we should be good at everything. We should be able to do the camper. We should be able to do the accounting.

We should be able to get up and speak. We should be able to write a book. We should be able to teach and coach it in a workshop. We should be able to organize retreats and events.

It's like, really? Are you serious? That is ridiculous.

So we come across what you're good at, and that's what Sacred Gifts is all about, what you are good at, if it is draining you, if you are exhausted at the end of doing a job, it's because you shouldn't be doing it. So if someone said to me, you need to do your own accounting, I would wanna go clean every toilet and the entire neighborhood rather than do that. I am not interested in working with accounts. It doesn't juice me. It doesn't energize me.

So if we focus on what energizes us and delegate the rest, we actually end up far further ahead than if we think we can do it all, should do it all. And I you know, at the end of the day, there's a poem by Hunter Thompson where he says “at the end of our day, we're gonna skid in sideways, that'll be proclaiming, woah, what a ride”. And having watched my husband pass away a couple of years ago, that's one of the things that I really got serious about.

I am going out with a bang, which means I am not going to be drained by doing stuff that absolutely exhausts me. Find someone else who can do it.

ROBIN
Wow. Powerful indeed. Thank you very much. Very interesting.

Alright. So what is one thing that I should have asked you today that I didn't? And what is your answer, please, Jan?

08:33 JAN – Bonus Material
Oh, you didn't ask me about my most favorite thing, which is talking well, decisions is one thing I love talking about. And the other is, what's your take on, procrastination?

So I know that's one of your specialties and I love that and I did all your work, but I don't see procrastination quite the way you do. I think that procrastination comes down to three things. One, there's a lack of passion. So you actually don't wanna do it and your soul is screaming at you, don't do it, don't do it, and you have some kind of guilt trip that you need to do it. That's the first thing. Lack of passion, don't do it.

Fear. We could be a fear of failure, of success, of being visible, whatever.

So, find out, are you afraid of being successful? Are you afraid of doing what you're doing?

And the third thing is what I call divine timing. Sometimes it's just you're simply not meant to move yet.

And trying to force action creates more resistance.

So that's the three ones, lack of passion, fear, and divine timing.

ROBIN
Perfect. And, okay. So you can write another chapter in my book. That'll be excellent. Thank you very much.

I do try to include in my book all aspects. The whole point of my of my book is that I'm not trying to say there's one size fits all. There's one definition of procrastination or anything like that. But I do appreciate, what you're saying. It's all it's all true. It's all absolutely true.

Alright. That we did it. We did it in five questions in seven minutes. I could've listened to you all day. I was mindful of the fact that, you were talking about self-development or as I call it, because I've got books and books and books on self-development or as I call them because they're all on my bookshelves, shelf development.

So my books at my shelves are very self-developed.

Anyway, that's fantastic. So what I would really love to know is how can people reach you, Jan? And also, always a cheeky question. This is there like a valuable free resource that they could get from you as well by way of getting to know you a little bit better?

10:48 JAN – Valuable Free Resource (VFR)
Absolutely.

I think one of the biggest places that people have really struggled with, especially these days, is with money. And having been homeless and living in a cabin with rats spreading up and down my walls because that's all I could afford. I really get how money is a is a massive issue for a lot of people, but it's because they don't understand their sacred money archetype.

Because we all do money differently, and if you don't know how you do money and you're not aware of what your strengths and your weaknesses are around money, you will always be battling it because you think that just because you've followed the rules of society around money, you're gonna be successful, and it isn't doesn't work that way. So I I actually have a sacred money archetype quiz and awesome resources on how to figure out why it can sometimes feel like world war three is going on in your head when it comes to money or with a spouse or partner or business partner. So eight money archetypes.

So the 8MoneyArchetypes.com. I'm sure you'll put that in the show notes. Yes, Robin. So that people can go there.

Do the quiz. It's first thought, best thought, and then you'll have some resources. You can reach out to me, and I'm happy to assist you.

ROBIN

Absolutely. Anybody watching this on YouTube, the link will already have appeared on their video. And anybody listening to the podcast, it'll be in all the transcripts and any notes we send with the with the podcast. So definitely, that sounds great.

Thank you so much. Jan, it's been a real pleasure. My only regret is that the format of the podcast means that we are restricted to a few minutes. But I kept all like, oh, I wanna come in on that and have a chat with you about that… that's not the format today, but, there was lots of points you raised. And, of course, we can find out more by going to your link and connecting with you that way. And, so thank you so much for what you've done today. That's very interesting indeed.

Thank you, Jan.

JAN

Well, thank you, Robin, for having me. It was a pleasure.

ROBIN
It was indeed. My pleasure was all mine. Thank you, and bye bye.

Robin J. Emdon is the creator of GetResultsology®, The Science of Getting Stuff Done!, a practical system that helps self-starters overcome procrastination, build momentum and follow through on what matters.

Known as The Procrastination Slayer and The Momentum Architect, Robin supports solopreneurs, creatives and no-boss professionals across the full spectrum of productivity challenges. Whether someone is stuck at the starting line or simply wants to move faster with more focus, his work helps turn scattered effort into consistent progress.

Robin began his career in his family’s retail business before training as a life coach in California in 2001. Although he has always been based in South Devon, coaching took a back seat while he raised his two sons as a full-time single dad. The desire to help others never went away. In 2019, a personal turning point revealed just how much procrastination had been limiting his own progress. It had taken him ten years to complete a home-based degree designed to take six.

When the lockdowns began in 2020, Robin immersed himself in the best thinking in neuroscience, behavioural psychology and productivity. From that deep learning, he developed GetResultsology®, built around what he now calls his momentum formula:

Do it today – Profit tomorrow: Repeat!

The formula is easy to remember but harder to live by without the right structure. GetResultsology® helps close that gap by turning daily effort into consistent, meaningful progress that leads to profit, growth and life-changing outcomes.

Still based in South Devon, on England’s scenic southwest coast, Robin now works with clients around the world. From his quiet corner by the sea, he helps people stay focused, take action and get results that truly move the needle.
