How to set goals that light you up in 2020

December 29, 2019

Can you believe we are two days out from the end of a decade. Holy crap balls it’s crazy and exciting isn’t it?

Given this momentous occasion and my recent love of reflection, I thought I’d share with you the exact end of year process I did this year.

Typically, I do my end of year review and goal setting on or around New Years Day, but this year, I decided to start this process a little earlier on my birthday. I really recommend doing this if you can squeeze it in before Dec 31st rolls around, as it gives plenty of time for your vision and goals to marinate before you lock them in.

This year we’re shaking it up and trying something different. The thought of a new decade on the way has me ready to reinvigorate my trusty old ways.   

I’ve created a three part process which takes you from reflection to zone of genius to your goals. It takes around an hour or so to complete for one area of your life (in this case, I looked at my career and business), however, you may like to do the same for other areas of your life like health & wellbeing and relationships.

Just to get one thing straight – This is by no means the ONLY way to set goals, but I wanted to share it because it’s been hugely liberating and fun.

Let’s get into it shall we!

Four lessons you need to know before you start your side hustle in 2020

December 12, 2019

It’s the week of my 37th birthday and we’re almost at the start of a new decade.

A big few weeks you could say!

If I’m honest, I do get extra sentimental at this time and particularly love the feeling of looking back on the year.

One of my favourite things to do is an “audit” – assessing what worked and what didn’t – especially in the context of my coaching business.

This year’s audit wasn’t particularly formal in nature. Based more on gut feeling than look specifically at the “analytics”.

In doing so, I narrowed it down to four things that made an impact – not just financially, but personally – things that impacted my confidence, clarity in who I want to help and community building.

What I love about this process (as informal as it was), is learning what things actually moved me closer my personal success story.

Every day, I think it’s incredible that we are living in a time where there are so many opportunities to get your ideas seen, to do work you love and that feels meaningful. If you sit back for a second you’ll realise it’s extraordinary too.

Despite this, starting a business is not easy at all.

We all have considerations and constraints (time and money, family). However, what I’ve come to realise, is that these are never as potent as the things our mind tells us we can’t do.

My hope for everyone in my community, is you look back at your year and say – “I did that, even though it was hard”.

For those of you who are considering starting a side business/hustle in 2020, there’s some important ideas in this video so make sure you take notes and most importantly – take action!!!

Enjoy this vlog and don’t forget to share below. Tell us – what made your year unstoppable?

If you want to have a laugh (because this was back in 2017 and my hair is red!) you can check out this video I made when I did the same year in review.

Four Steps To Activate Dreams and Goals – Third We Express

November 29, 2018

Don’t you love the energy of Summer? Our goal or creative project is in full swing. 

We’re humming along like honey bees. 

If you’ve been following this series about The Dream Activator strategy, you’ll know that in Part One we decided.

Part Two we planned the steps.

Part Three – well, we simply need to keep going.

Now is the appropriate time make some noise – if you haven’t already. 

Pull out that party dress and celebrate, raise the roof and let the world know what you’re creating or have created.

You’ll notice the energy of this period has a fun kind of intensity to it. Winter is intense too, but in a different way. They are polar opposites on the energy and creativity spectrum.

Four steps to activate dreams and goals – second we emerge

November 23, 2018

“Every seed has a gestation or incubation period. Ideas are spiritual seeds and will move into form or physical results. Your goals will manifest then the time is right. Know they will” – The Law of Rhythm, from the 14 Universal Laws of Nature

In part one of this four part series, we explored the energy of winter and how it relates to completing a goal.

Winter is chance to go within, to clarify a goal that feels good because it feels like you. You can revisit that post HERE if you want to go back to the beginning. 

Spring – we emerge from the dark into the light. 

Step two in the dream activation process. 

Action with clarity and fresh energy.

This step looks like momentum, creating small challenges for yourself, small actions to evolve the idea.

It is the point at which the idea starts to become a reality. We move towards it, rather than absorbing ourselves in the research and the planning phase. 

How many times have you heard yourself say “I just need to find out a few more details about that course” or “I’ve got so many ideas I don’t know which way to go” or “I’ll wait till next year…”

Waiting, research and planning are comfortable. 

We can do it from the comfort of the couch. That safe space to dream. But we too often get stuck in this phase.

As Elizabeth Gilbert wrote in her book Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear

“So this, I believe, is the central question upon which all creative living hinges: Do you have the courage to bring forth the treasures that are hidden within you?” 

What truly keeps the dream alive, is the ability to know when it’s time to move onto the next phase and carry the momentum through.

Some would call this being in flow. And this is the beauty using the energy of cycles and seasons to follow through with our goals. 

Here’s a few key ways we build momentum and take action in this phase:

+ Connect – who do I need additional support from? where can I get that support? who do I know that could help me with this goal? Outreach, set up meetings, enrol in that course and if you’re game enough get an accountability buddy. We are looking for feedback here on our idea or project, perhaps even someone to collaborate with. 

+ Plan – you know what the goal is, how you want the process to feel and what you want to achieve now you feel ready to put it into a plan. In this step, we’ll get really clear on what time you need in your schedule and how to make that time. We work out all the small steps. We put them in the calendar. 

+ Seek resources – what do I know about this goal, challenge or project? and like-wise what don’t I know? You might find some overlap with this step and the connection piece. Once you’re clear, reach out to those who could know the answer. 

The trick here for us is to not get too stuck on the “behind the scenes” of the goal and planning, which is why we included the connection piece. 

I can’t wait to share with you the next phase of the process – express, a phase that has the energy of my favourite season – Summer.   

As you can see, The Dream Activator truly is THE best launch pad for your goals in 2019.
