What's the consequence you're attaching to a boundary if someone tries to cross it this weekend or next week? Not a threat, but a clear, respectful, firm consequence to protect your time and energy. (e.g., "If you email me after 5 PM, I won't see it until morning.")
I don't answer texts after 7 pm. (unless it's my kids!) The consequence is that you will have to wait! I think the conundrum of owning a virtual business is time differences. Trying to sort out the time in places across the globe is daunting, so grace is offered if it feels urgent.
Take a quick "snapshot" of one small, recurring task that consistently causes you a headache. Now, in 2-3 sentences, brainstorm one tiny system or automation you could implement to stop it from being a Hot Mess Express item.
✅ One strategy I'm implementing that aligns with me: attending in-person networking events. I commit to attending 1 or more in-person events per week - AND- set the intention to be a person of increase in the room... ✅ Something I tried because "everyone said to" that I'm dropping: I've never been much of a crowd follower. I am open to recommendations (esp if they have proved successful). But one thing I'm not a fan of (and have never done a good job at) is posting on social media daily. In fact, I was super unsuccessful at posting my 365 days of gratitude series. I'm grateful to not look at social media daily. ✅ How I'm finding my voice in a sea of copycat messaging: I'm still working on this one... but when I listen to myself during a spontaneous conversation, I realize DANG! I AM ALIGNED, I KNOW THIS, AND I AM MEANT TO SHARE THIS...!
My favorite part about this post is Part 1! Committing to "being a person of increase in the room" is GOLD... and something I need to remember. I've noticed that sometimes I get caught up in my people watching (and taking notes on how someone is running their event), that I forget to actually contribute and use my energy to raise the overall frequency of the experience. Thank you @Kimberly Bachmeier Anderson for that remiinder!
What's one area of your business or life where you're still waiting for a "permission slip" that you're going to metaphorically shred today? Declare what you're doing, no longer seeking external validation.
Currently the only permission slip I carry is the one I wrote for myself...to fully, unapologetically live my one beautiful life in orgasmic bliss!😀 No one else is coming to do it for me, or grant permission! Freedom comes when you truly get that.
Your environment is the problem. 😤 Not your offers. Not your mindset. Not your strategy. The people around you. The programs you've been in. The coaches who handed you their blueprint and called it a business plan. They didn't just give you bad advice. They rewired the way you think. 💥 And now you're so deep inside their framework that you can't even hear your own voice anymore. You don't know what's yours and what's theirs. You don't know what you actually want versus what you've been conditioned to want. That's not a coincidence. That's the trap. 😤 The only way out is to physically remove yourself from it. New environment. New energy. New thinking. 🔥 Seven days in Punta Cana to strip all of it away and get back to the one thing that was always going to make you profitable. You. 👑 September 20–26.
