10x-tober tactics

Once you've got your goal, the next step isn't to figure out how to hit it. It's to get excited about it. Dwell on the end result, imagine it, decide how you will celebrate it.

Some of you are already doing this, and you can tell how it's working: Once your unconscious mind deeply understands what you want to go for AND that it will be a fun and SAFE destination, your reticular activating system kicks in and starts showing you paths you can take.

Ex. You talk to a friend and hear how they got a 1000 pre-orders on their book doing reels, and you decide to try them. You get an invitation to a promo that doesn't quite fit your books, so you decide to run your own and invite authors with even bigger audiences than you to participate. You retake some of the book marketing bootcamp and decide to create a big boxset of your books with a more clicky cover, title and blurb....and 10x your page reads. (These are real examples. Also, there are many paths to take. So relax and know you have endless opportunities coming to you).

So the steps are:

Set your goal: what are you going for in 10x-tober? (I'm shooting for 10x pre-orders). Any goal that stretches you a bit is good.
Get excited about the goal any way you can. How will you celebrate once you hit it? What are the benefits of hitting this goal? Once you've arrived, what will look like? Feel like? Taste and smell like? (Seriously, you can get all your senses involved. Your unconscious mind doesn't really understand language, but it does understand symbols, images, scent, sounds... All the sensory details we put into our books to make the world come alive for readers)
Do this until you're unconscious mind starts giving you ideas of how to hit your goal. We will definitely be covering more of this in the kickoff call and I'm confident you're going to hear some other people's ideas and get excited about them. If not, go back to step two. :)

Use this post to tell me how you're celebrating and what hitting this goal will do for you. How will your body benefit? Your family? Your dog?

What is fun and exciting about your goal?

And what are you afraid of? What's the worst that can happen? You might as well dump it out here on this post, otherwise, it's going to work in the background of your mind and sabotage your actions to keep you safe.

Remember, everyone here is rooting for you! And I'm committed to coaching you every step of the way. If you can't believe you can do it, that's okay. I'll believe it for you.

I'm really excited because this October goal will be an easy and fun way for you to bum rush your fears. Any emotion is forward momentum, okay? Because if you face your fears a little bit, you're going to realize that they won't kill you. Is that the only thing that happens is that everyone in this group celebrates you for existing and for trying and for being brave enough to put your art into the world. Because that is worth celebrating!

But I want you also to get all the money you want and deserve, money that will change your life. Your mortgage paid off, your car paid off, your dog sleeping in the most expensive bed you could find online. Trips to the mountains and to the beach and everywhere in between. Waking up feeling relaxed and excited because the whole day is in front of you and you get to do whatever you want.

I want you to live with the life of your dreams. And I know it's possible. Because I'm living my dream and it's better than I f****** imagined.

Now it's your turn. Let's start with a goal for October. A stretch that might feel like a small step but really is a giant leave in the right direction.
