Over the course of the last 3-4 years in my business, I’ve invested heavily in coaches, mentors, workshops, mastermind groups and kicking my own learning up a BIG notch. I did this not only to advance my own business but to help grow my client’s businesses too.
I wanted to create a better life for myself. I wanted more freedom to be able to be with family, travel and to speak and inspire other entrepreneurs.
When I first set out on this quest of business development, I didn’t realize I’d also be making a huge transformation in my self and personal development as well!
What I learned is that no amount of marketing, planning or goal setting would make me as successful as I wanted to be without the right mindset around TWO THINGS: Love & Money.
What I also learned is that in order to truly attain the lifestyle, the business and the life that you ultimately want you have to do 3 main things (and do them regularly mind you):
First, you have to develop your overall vision. What do you want your life to look like?
- Do you want quarterly vacations?
- Do you want a 7 figure income?
- Do you want to only work Tues-Thurs, 5 hours a day?
- Do you see yourself volunteering, giving back or doing something towards some other worthy cause?
- Whatever this looks like for you, you need to claim it! You need to really give this some deep thought, not just a fleeting idea. You also want to be on the same page in your visioning as your significant other (that helps).
- Helpful Tips to Keep Your Vision Top of Mind at All Times:
* Create a vision board and hang it in your office – cut out magazine pictures or words, use photos of things you want, etc. to make a colorful collage of what your ULTIMATE VISION looks like.
* Create a vision video, something short with motivating pictures, words and songs that capture what your ULTIMATE VISION looks like for you and then you can watch it every morning like my friend Kelly.
* Develop vision statements, sort of like a mission statement, and then write them on sticky notes or signs around your office, car and home.
