At Women Who WOW LIVE! 2017, I asked if anyone was willing to make an “everyday” commitment to generating content. A few committed.
A few followed through.
Those that tied an every day commitment to content with solid Calls to Action have a business that is UNRECOGNIZABLE…. in ALL the best of ways.
Because let’s face it… showing up with content is a HUGE step but it’s not the ONLY step. You DO have to invite people to join you… you DO have to know how to DEPLOY your content.
Speaking of… this is going to be one of THE hottest “topics” at Women Who WOW LIVE! 2018 — how to DEPLOY your content. How to put it to work for you. How to make it pull double and triple and TEN-TIMES duty for you.
And no, this is NOT about re-posting. ugh.
🐎 🐎 This is about DEPLOYING… sending YOUR content out into the world with a MISSION. 🐎 🐎
Day two, friends…. Get your — insanely affordable, thanks to our generous sponsors INCLUDING Vera Bradley — ticket HERE.
Anyway, we make a BUNCH of commitments.
Business and otherwise.
And we TRY to make a bunch of — good — habits.
We stay the course for 21 days.
Barely. =)
I get it.
I know the pain
and the shame
of not following through.
But, here’s what I’ve noticed. For every habit I’ve tried to create — and failed at — there’s someone ELSE for who that habit is, well… a habit. A natural part of their day. Something they DO NOT ever struggle with.
It’s just WHO
THEY
ARE.
And therein lies the secret to any and all success habits.
The ones that stick are ENTWINED into your identity.
For instance, people marvel over how much I write.
DUH… I’m a writer. So, of course, I write.
People wonder about my impact in the business world.
Well… I’m a leader. So, of course I have an impact.
👠 A loving and passionate wife, it’s who I am.
👠 A sexual being, it’s who I am.
👠 A strong mom, it’s who I am.
👠 A Christ-follower, it’s who I am.
👠 A ruthlessly driven entrepreneur, it’s who I am.
👠 An empowered woman, it’s who I am.
👠 A cherished daughter, it’s who I am.
👠 A loyal friend, it’s who I am.
I never have to question these things… and I make ALL decisions from THIS identity. Naturally, effortlessly. Therefore, habits that are an extension of these things are EASY.
Good news, bad news.
The good news is, we continue to create our identities every day. So, you can DELIBERATELY shape your I AM statements.
I am strong.
I am successful.
I am loved.
I have great energy.
I can create the impossible.
I am blah, blah, blah.
The bad news is…. we often UNCONSCIOUSLY allow things to CREEP into our identity… and these, too, come with habits.
Like..
I struggle with my weight.
(So…. naturally any habit that is the habit of someone who NEVER struggles with their weight feels HARD, like a struggle.)
or
I am always late.
I’m such a procrastinator.
See, how identity matters?
💥 💥 The success habits that STICK are those that are attached to WHO YOU ARE. 💥 💥
So, friend…
who do you CHOOSE to be?
A writer?
A blogger?
A leader?
A huge success story?
And what habits go with THAT identity? The key is to work on both. WRITE out your identity every morning.
I am…
I choose…
I have ….
And then, plan your day accordingly.
I choose TO….
It’s a full proof plan. =)
