•  What doubts do you have about yourself and capabilities?
•  Where do you believe they originate from (go back as far as you can remember)
•  How valid are these doubts really?
•  What evidence do you have for them?
•  And most importantly what evidence do you have against them?
•  How will holding on to this doubt move you toward the life you want?
•  What new beliefs around yourself will better serve you in life that you can begin to embrace?
•  How will your family benefit if you embrace this new way of thinking?
•  What will you choose to believe about yourself moving forward?

If your doubts come from your biz:

•  What are the 5 core challenges you are experiencing in business?
•  And why specifically are these challenges?
•  What areas of your business do you actively avoid and for what reason?
•  What steps might you have you missed in your research / planning / strategy?
•  Where do you feel you need help?
•  What skills are you missing?
•  Looking at your answer to the questions above… what can you start to do differently to address your problem areas?
•  What goals / targets can you set yourself to fill any skills / knowledge gaps?

As you can see, there’s a lot of food for thought as you work your way through these.

Well ladies, that’s it, the choice is now yours. If you’re holding any doubts at all right now, I urge you to empower yourself and choose to use them as fuel for good – as a tool for life-long change and as a stepping-stone to the outcome you want.

So go lean in, learn and transform your doubts into certainty, assurance and belief and watch your results change.

Here’s to your success – and to you truly believing you can.
Do you have an inner voice that often plays with your self-belief… that makes you wonder… can I actually do this? Do I believe with 100% certainty that I can and will be successful in my So… for the record. We all have that shitty little inner voice that makes us question ourselves. You, me, that person sitting in the room with you. ALL of us.

And don’t even let me get started on mums with this negative Nelly self-talk.
Often, as I well know, we choose to exit the workforce for an extended period so that we can dedicate our time and energy to being present for our littles. And whilst this journey is incredibly fulfilling on so many fronts, we often as a result tend to put everyone else’s needs before our own.

And when it comes to wanting to do anything for ourselves, let alone anything outside of our comfort zones like starting a small biz, well… the act of doing so seems nearly impossible and massively overwhelming…

This Mindset Challenge will have you walking away feeling empowered and ready to kick some massive goals in your biz.

Sure, goal setting seems easy. You set yourself a target, you write it down, maybe you even post it on your wall and let the rest play itself out.

Easy as pie.

The catch is actually meeting those goals. It’s actually making them HAPPEN.

And knowing how to set goals that are achievable yet ambitious is also a bit of an art.

So, today I want to talk to you about how to set goals for yourself that you can actually meet; and, as part of this, I’m going to cover 3 key tips that will help you throughout this process.

#1: You need to dream… BIG!

You need to have BIG dreams… unrestricted ambitions… dreams you never thought even possible.

And no, I’m not pulling your leg here.

Most people have a really clear idea around what they don’t want in their lives but very few can clearly articulate exactly the type of life they want for themselves.

So, as part of this process, you need to think about how your business feeds into this vision you want for yourself and for your family. So for instance, will you be working from home in this vision of yours or perhaps you’ll have a local office with employees or maybe you’ll be globe-trotting, laptop in hand whilst you grow your business.

Whatever this vision is, you need to make it crystal clear for yourself.

#TIP – Consider creating a vision board for yourself to help you tangibilise these big dreams for yourself and hang it on your office wall, where you can see it day in, day out.

# 2: You need to go back in time

Sounds a bit ironic when goal setting into future I know but just bear with me here.

By turning the clocks back, you can start to really uncover what your former year was like for you – obviously in biz, but also on a personal front.

The purpose of this exercise is for you to uncover what worked, and equally, what didn’t work. What mistakes did you make? What did you achieve?

There will always be some setbacks – that’s just life, but there will also ALWAYS be some wins (no matter how small) to celebrate.

So do this. Give yourself a pat on the back (or a big glass of bubbly) and give yourself a moment to recognise those achievements for yourself – personally and business-wise. It’s SO important to stop for a moment and to recognise these wins.

Beyond this recognition, this exercise is also very good for highlighting what not to do again and what to steer clear of in your upcoming year of biz.

#3: Put that Plan into ACTION

I mentioned earlier that goal setting is a bit of an art. And for good reason…

Achieving a goal is easier said than done. So my first bit of advice here is that less is more. I’d rather you set 2 BIG, HAIRY (*AND SLIGHTLY SCARY*) goals for yourself than 10 that will just overwhelm you.

And the reason for this is because actually achieving a BIG, HAIRY (*AND SLIGHTLY SCARY*) goal is no mean feat. This type of goal is not always easy to tick off and can often involve a series of steps in order to complete it.

Cue, putting a plan into ACTION.

Achieving goals is all about breaking that goal down into manageable steps and setting timeframes for yourself to achieve those steps.

This leads me to something very special that we’d like to gift to you – our tried and tested goal-setting framework that we used last year to skyrocket our biz.
