The strategies I’m using to feel great AND accomplish my goals in 2022 .That’s right, friend! I am getting fully transparent with you about what I am doing to set myself up for success in 2022. I have always been big on goal setting, planning, and setting intentions for the year ahead (it’s a BIG part of why I’ve seen such success as an entrepreneur)…… but as you know, I struggled with some unexpected depression and anxiety in 2021. This year, I am determined to get ahead of it. That’s why I’m trying out some FRESH approaches to goal setting that will not only help me to achieve some really cool things both personally and professionally, but ALSO get me in the right mindset before taking on each challenge that I set for myself.Because let’s be honest -- ”success” and “achievement” are not only about what you accomplish, they’re just as much about how you FEEL.In this episode, I’ll share: The goal-setting strategy I LOVE that puts emphasis on how you want to feel, not what you do The 5 goals that I’ve set for myself in 2022, why I chose to set those particular goals, and how I plan to achieve them How I set goals that are challenging yet attainable I’m hoping that by listening to this episode, you’ll hold me accountable, stay motivated to accomplish the goals you’ve already set for yourself in 2022, AND be inspired to get back on the horse if you’ve fallen victim to the infamous #QuittersDay (more on that in the episode.)Here’s a glance at this episode... [04:01] One new thing I’m trying in 2022 is identifying the core feelings that I want to experience this year. I want to feel trusting, courageous, energized, in the zone, and luminous while I'm working on my goals and after I achieve them.  [10:27] Take action: What are 3-5 feelings you want to experience over and over again this year? Think about how you want to feel and write it down. [11:08] Goal #1: Do the 29029 challenge. This is where you climb a mountain a certain amount of times (in a certain amount of time). All in all, it adds up to the equivalent of climbing Everest.  [14:20] Goal #2: Create a certification program for my business. I don't know what it looks like, but I’m going to put together ideas this year and launch it in 2023. [15:39] Goal #3: Take a sabbatical. I've been dreaming of taking a sabbatical for years, but in 2022 I’m actually doing it. I'm taking off the last half of May and the entire month of June to spend at my lake house. [17:50] Goal #4: Create a project plan for my new book. My book won’t launch until January of 2023, but I need to have an entire project promotion plan dialed in by 3/31. [21:40] Goal #5: Create a 3-year vision of my company. I want to scale the business and incorporate different models that I’ve never tried before, which means I need to plan further out.

Learn To Trust Your Gut In BusinessIn this quick episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the hardest lessons I’ve learned as an entrepreneur.It’s not having hard conversations.Not making revenue projections.Not keeping a tidy to-do list or a pretty project plan.In this episode, I’m talking about trusting your gut as an entrepreneur. Which is a tall order. We all want to trust our gut… but it’s not always that simple.Because every day, entrepreneurs…→ Navigate fear→ Bear responsibility for the success – or lack of success – in our biz→ Feel the weight of the effects that our big and small decisions make on others → And, if we’re being honest, try hard not to question our own abilityRight?“Going with your gut” can get muddled and lost between ALL we’ve got going on.But it’s also a non-negotiable in entrepreneurship.So after 13 years of running my own online business, I’m sharing how I’ve learned to hone this instinct and stick to my guns……including one big mistake I made by hushing my inner nudges and going ahead with a decision anyways. So give this episode a listen and let my lessons learned be your lessons learned.Cheers to you, friend, as we learn how to slow down, listen, and trust ourselves.Here’s a glance at this episode...

What I Practice Every Day For Swoon-Worthy ResultsWhat? You thought entrepreneurship was all glistening social media posts and champagne toasts?Juuuust kidding.If you’ve started a business – full time or on the side – you KNOW there are plenty of unglamorous moments.But in this episode, I’m sharing four very specific skills that you probably wouldn’t list on a Bumble profile…but that will definitely make you a more effective and successful entrepreneur and leader. Promise.Things like the ability to leverage. Or being a proactive planner. Or how I’ve learned to be an effective communicator in my business (and what that’s looked like in different situations.) Sneak away for a few minutes, dive into this shortie episode, and steal the four unsexy business-making traits that I’ve developed inside my business (so you can build them into yours!)Here’s a glance at this episode... [03:35] 1. Effective communication skills. In the past, I've shielded myself from negative conversations. I use the Radical Candor method to communicate when something goes wrong. [06:47] 2. Your ability to leverage. When you leverage you still have a pulse on the project, you're just not doing everything. This is choosing who you want to collaborate with and letting them own it, but they're still doing regular check-ins with you. [09:37] 3. Be willing to admit when you are wrong. If something's not working in your business, look inward and ask how I can change my communication style or whatever is causing the problem. [11:42] 4. You have to be a proactive planner. A proactive planner is looking ahead six months or a year. How can you scale or improve the business in the next three years? Check out EOS.
