I messed up the invite so Ines recorded yesterday! I'll have her review your questions today. :D

I need some help with getting back into writing after moving house and basically having my life disrupted (in a good way) for a couple of months. I've managed to get down 6 chapters of my WIP, but I feel so disconnected from the story/characters. Listening to my writing playlist helps, but my brain keeps throwing distractions my way and I'm just really struggling to knuckle down and write. Anyone know of any sprint groups or similar where I can get some body-doubling in? I'm in South Africa, so the timezone would have to be UK mornings/early afternoons. Also any suggestions for getting back into flow after a break would be greatly appreciated.

I leaned into trial reels even more after the first bootcamp call and I have gotten some views!! I spend a lot less time thinking about each reel and just trying different stuff as much as possible. When I was really feeling bad (AKA no iron in my body) I did not feel like there were any new ways to say anything about my books but this month is different. A lot more possibility. My sales on Apple last month were funny too—my top seller was my oldest book 💀 🥹 but it was a row of green arrows so I’m going for more green arrows this month!!

My new vision board. I've always had good luck with these, for DECADES...and for some reason, the past two years I didn't make a new one. But something clicked, and since yesterday was the new moon and good re: my astrology chart for career focus, and the new moon is good for new beginnings, I finally made a new one. Lee wanted to see pictures so here it is.

Tomorrow starts 10x-tober in the Bootcamp! We're doing a kickoff call to brainstorm strategies and tactics but also take a deep look at our limiting beliefs. First we set our goal of what business metric we want to increase. Some of you have said: - 10x word count - 10x (or 2x or 5x) page reads - 10x direct store sales - 10x subscribers on Substack - 10x newsletter subscribers! - I'm going for 10x preorders by Nov 1. Any goal you set is great! The next step isn't to jump to tactics. It's to calm any fears your nervous system might have about achieving the goal. Will your body feel SAFE arriving at the end destination? Because if not, you'll do a whole lotta hustle but sabotage your results. I've seen it in my business. Example: I was afraid of posting videos of myself because I didn't want to get r@pe threats. I avoided it for years. Then I started forcing myself to do it, but anytime I'd get more than 1000 views, I'd stop. Why? Because my brain thought that posting videos would literally kill me. Great news, I'm working through this. I just posted a video that got 30k views, and although recording the video was like slogging through mud, I did it and now it's a marketing asset I can use forever. Okay, your turn. Imagine you woke up and your goal is done. You did it. You hit it. What comes up for you? If there's any fear, doubt, hesitation, icky-gut-churning feeling, no amount of "work harder" will get you there. Because your mind doesn't think it's safe to be more visible and have more success. That's why you take all these courses and then nothing changes for you. You try an ad, it doesn't work, and then you quit. (You probably will have to test lots and lots and lots of ads to find the 20% that bring in 80% of the money). So what can you do? Here are some things I do: - Imagine and feel into the end result (I'm visual so I picture it as a movie and play music as a soundtrack) What does success look like, taste like, smell like? - decide how you will celebrate and imagine that - celebrate now - write out a list of things you're grateful for (evidence that good things can happen for you) - write out a list of hard things you've achieved (more evidence you can have success) - Tap on it - listen to a hypnotherapy meditation - Go for a walk on think on all this. Bilateral stimulation works wonders - Journal on it - Watch the kick off tomorrow and I'll walk you through some belief busting exercises!
