As much as I love it, life for me is not ONLY about publicity! This year, instead of working non-stop like a mad woman, I’ve adopted the mindset that life is more about empowering others, being compassionate and giving…not just working.
But it’s also about making choices…and this year I’m saying no to overwork and overwhelm and yes to choices that support my desire to be completely fulfilled and more successful in what I do, such as:
- Choosing to grow a business that is profitable and effective even if I’m vacationing at my Caribbean home,
- Choosing to take my son to the Zoo on a Tuesday if I please,
- Choosing to forego a business meeting to spend time with my parents instead or
- Choosing to runaway to Vegas with my husband on the weekend just to blow off some steam and have fun!!!
So here’s what I’ve decided to do to live a happier, healthier more satisfying life:
1.) I’ve enlisted the expertise of my accountant who is coaching me on effective business strategies. We’ve only met once so far, but wow, what a powerful session it was! In fact, one word describes what I walked away with after that session: CLARITY! She took all the stuff in my head and gave me clarity! Not only that, she’s also making me pay attention to the numbers side of my business…it’s all very eye-opening and I love it.
2.) I’ve also hired a virtual assistant to help me with my marketing and publicity as well as a lot of the things that I can no longer afford to spend time doing IF I am going to grow my business. Before Heather came along, I was doing everything. I often told friends that my life in the office could easily be turned into a reality show. Just put a camera in the corner and watch me miraculously do 15 things from manage a project to handle administrative duties simultaneously. It was crazy! Now, I’m starting to release my fear of losing control and I’m delegating. I’m finally starting to see how I can focus my attention on things that can help me live my life and grow my business just by delagating certain tasks. How liberating to know that I don’t have to be the one doing every damn thing!
3.) Lastly, I have joined an absolutely incredible mastermind group led by a woman from Arizona named Kendall Summerhawk. A mastermind is a group of like-minded people who come together to inspire each other and hold each other accountable for reaching BIG goals. I joined the mastermind group in January because I wanted to reach some very lofty financial goals and Kendall is known for helping people do that. In fact, she has this AMAZING program called “How to Charge What You’re Worth and Get it.” The program is absolutely nothing short of brilliant. BOTTOMLINE: Through Kendall’s program, the possibility of me achieving all the goals seems more attainable than ever. I can actually see myself breaking the 6 figure barrier before this year ends!!!
That’s why this is absolutely positively my best year yet because with clarity, vision, direction, hope and the right people to help and hold me accountable how could it not be?
What are you doing to make this YOUR best year ever?
