Mastermind Round 2

I’ve been waiting all week to find out if I got into my mastermind with my coach again.

I’m feeling joyous and relieved.

2021 feels like a good year to do some more impossible things!

You Can Have Anything You Want If You’re Willing to Do This One Thing

Asking.

You can have anything you want if you’re willing to ask 1000 people.

Most people just aren’t willing to ask.

It feels like too much.

It feels scary.

We don’t want to bother anyone.

What if you asked, though?

Imagine asking 1000 different celebrities to be on your podcast.

Or asking 1000 TEDx organisations to do a talk.

Or asking 1000 connected people on linked in if they will introduce you to Rihanna’s record producer.

Or asking 1000 magazine editors to get you a 15 minute chat with Anna Wintour. 

It would probably work, right?

Someone would help.

And most of the time, it doesn’t take 1000 people.

Sometimes it just takes one person.

Because people want to say yes. We’re wired to say yes.

When I was starting out coaching 3 years ago, I asked a well-known entrepreneur if I could coach them for free in exchange for their $1000 online course. It worked.

Last year, I asked strangers at the mall to subscribe to me on YouTube – and long story short, I got 40 new subscribers in a day.

What if asking is the only thing standing between you and massive success?

What could you ask right now for that would move you closer to your goal?

April 2021 Goals Review

I’m stoked with my progress this month. I don’t try to control the uncontrollable, but thanks to my goals in April, the things I can control do feel in control, which is an amazing feeling (because it’s not always the case!). Here’s my rundown of April:

1. Time-block all of my activities – and really, genuinely stick to the time I said I would do them.
   DONE
   I didn’t write a SINGLE to-do list the entire month. Whaaaat?! That might have been the longest I’ve ever been in my LIFE without writing a to-do list. I simply put all of my to-dos onto my calendar and found time for all of them. Loving this system. I never feel stressed about lots of things to do, because each task has a designated time it will get done, pre-planned on my calendar. So freeing!
   

2. Take my evenings and weekends fully off.
   DONE
   I have been SO much better at this. Not perfect. But waaaay better. The only time I have worked in the evenings or weekends was if there was something genuinely urgent that needed to get done.

There's No Right Way To Hit A Goal

There’s no right way to hit a goal.

Some of my clients adore the law of attraction and human design and surrendering to the universe, and some of them get excited by scientific research and habit trackers and pushing as hard as possible.

And you know what? They ALL hit their goals.

So I’m celebrating all you science-based tech-heavy goal getters AND the woo woo energy you-do-you-boo manifesters.

Some days I take a truck ton of action and tick everything off my list and other days I sit still and meditate, reminding myself I have done enough DOING and now is time to BE.

What if it ALL works?

What if really, anything will work when you commit to it 100%?

What if it was actually easy?

Difficulty doesn’t actually exist as a thing in the universe.

Our experience is what makes something feel hard or easy.

A mountain might seem hard to summit.

But with a helicopter it’s is pretty chill.

(Enter the invention of heliskiing) 

It’s the same with any goal.

Our goals aren’t just sitting around looking at us smugly like “I’m super difficult, you’ll never achieve me.”

Goals are neutral.

We get to decide if we experience them as hard or easy by how we approach them.

Sometimes we think they’re going to drain us. Exhaust us. Take YEARS of effort.

But what if getting fully booked in your business was as simple as putting out short videos on Instagram? (True story about my client Niamh).

What if becoming a professional fashion model was as easy as taking another model out to lunch? (True story about my client Chloe)

What if becoming a paid writer was as easy as putting your writing out into the world for people to see? (True story about my client Julia)

What if you decided your goal was actually super easy?

How would that change the way you approach it?

A Goal You Almost Hit

Tell me about a goal you ALMOST hit but didn’t... and how you feel about it.

Mine:

I almost become the television host of Bravo TV. I was devastated at the time, but so grateful I didn’t get it now that I look back (I may never have found out how much I love coaching).

April 2021 Goals

1. Time-block all of my activities – and really, genuinely stick to the time I said I would do them.
   I tend to pile unnecessary extra tasks onto my calendar, and don’t do the things I was supposed to do on my calendar until later. Instead, this month I’m going to follow my calendar religiously. This is going to be a huge test of discipline, but ultimately, I think it will provide a lot of freedom.

2. Take my evenings and weekends fully off.
   It’s so easy to see work sneaking into evenings and weekends when you work for yourself. Not because I have to – but because I don’t prioritise my work properly during my workday.

That’s all. Last month I set 7 goals and didn’t hit them all. This month, I’m focusing only on what is important, and cutting out everything else. Simplicity is a theme that I have to constantly remind myself of, and I’m going to 100% commit to it in April!

March 2021 Goals Review

1. Grow my Impossible Girls Facebook Group to 5000 members!
   NOT DONE. I didn’t complete this and I know exactly why: I didn’t make it a priority. I didn’t focus on it, almost at all. I spent my energy focusing on all of my other goals and it’s taught me an important lesson: Don’t set too many goals at once!

2. Show up every single day in my group and add more love than ever before.
   DONE!

3. Do some of our Tony Robbins relationship course each day.
   Half done – we did it 50% of the days. Not perfect, but it’s still 15 days more than we were doing before we started the course, so that’s a win!

4. Mindset journaling every single morning, no excuses.
   This is the one I’m most proud of – because I’ve always wanted to create a habit of mindset journaling. It made a massive difference, and I had a really successful month overall.

5. Go walking 3x a week.
   DONE!

6. Join a hip hop class.
   DONE – except that instead of hip hop, I signed up to a tap class because of my shoulder injury. (Fun fact: I tap danced for 15 years and used to teach it!). Excited to go back!

7. See friends 3x a week.
   DONE!

Her First Billboard!

I just walked out of a cafe in Wellington and saw my photographer Aimee Jules’ first-ever billboard!

I’m so lucky to get to work with such phenomenal talent – Congratulations, Aimee!
