I recently shared my process for closing out a year in my business-one of the pieces of that process is writing down all the things I learned this year.
After I did this, I felt incredibly grateful for these huge, soul-shifting lessons and wanted to share them with you. So here I am, sharing my real, unfiltered lessons from one of the most stretching years I’ve ever lived:
I’m in the middle of moving from one software platform to another and in the process, I spent some time reviewing and saving my content.
Some 2020 numbers that surprised me…big time.
I knew I had gone into MASSIVE creation mode this year…MASSIVE. but it hadn’t fully clicked until I added these numbers up:
8 programs. EIGHT. Guys. EIGHT PROGRAMS IN ONE YEAR.
5 completely unique free content events-webinars, 3-5 day workshops, hours and hours of content and value, completely free.
and this was the ringer for me: nearly 200 pages of unique email content just this year
I haven’t even capture how many pages I’ve written in the form of instagram content, but I full believe it’s probably close to 300 pages.
300 pages.
Not including infographics, stories, and more that I personally designed, sales pages I wrote and designed and more.
and yet, if you asked me if I believed I could write a book…I would have said no. Why? I don’t know if I could talk about one thing, build it out, AND still be interesting for 200ish pages. And if I did, gosh, it would take years of grueling labor, forcing myself to write, writers block, etc.
Lesson #1: Make impossible goals feel easy by reframing them.
But I wrote nearly 300 pages of unique content. I wrote it easily. I still have LOADS more to say on the topic of mindset being the absolute KEY to our success. And yet…it was easy.
What if that’s the way it was meant to be? Choosing the path of least resistance? finding our Personal strategy for massive creativity? And letting it all come easily?
If I learned anything in 2020, it’s that reframing something can make all the difference in my motivation.
Can I write a 300 page book? maybe. Do I want to? no. That sounds the opposite of fun to me, are you kidding?
Can I write 1 email and be passionate and excited about it? yes. for 100% sure.
And one yes led to the next…and the next.
What if we stopped building our goals up into some unattainable mountaintop experience and learned to reframe them into the next steps that truly motivate us?
What if we committed to 1-2 pages of passionate writing instead of a book? What if we committed ourselves to believing in our own offers wholeheartedly for 1 full day instead of until we hit our money goals? (that’s a long time to believe…and most of us don’t have that much stamina…if we’re being honest.)
What if we believed in ourselves the whole time we took action toward our goals?
And what if, at the end of it…we saw that all the stress, freaking out, and self-doubt didn’t need to happen in order for us to achieve our goals-we added that on by choice.
What if in 2021, you decide you’re worthy of the goals you desire and you decide to take them step by step? What would change for you?
