Today, I met with a woman who is a Woman Who WOWs (of course) but who also jumped into the Plan, Promote & PUSH 2018 program I offered at the end of last year.
The program included a full year of personalized accountability, including — for the first 20 — alignment and accountability coaching sessions every quarter.
In these sessions, I bring the GOALS they set for themselves during the training program back out. Line by line, we go over their progress….
In other words, the goals they set for themselves for 2018 will NOT be forgotten, ignored or — for the love of all things HOLY — dumbed down and made smaller with the passing of time.
So, back to this Women Who WOW rockstar…. She set an income goal for January of $20,000.
Not too shabby of a goal, in and of itself.
Despite several personal challenges and despite having six days left in the month…
she’d exceeded her goal,
by more than DOUBLE.
She’d brought in $50,000.
HOW DOES SHE DO THAT?????
Let me tell you her secrets, but not her name, as she can identify herself if she chooses.
SECRET #1: She invested in accountability.
Knowing you have to step on a scale each week is THE secret Weight Watchers offers. A scale, that’s it. This woman knows the power of accountability.
SECRET #2: This woman is a relentless implementor.
RELENTLESS…. She does what she says she’s going to do. No excuses, despite plenty of circumstances that could qualify.
SECRET # 3: She STOPPED DOING what she doesn’t love to do.
Those cheap speaking gigs? No more.
Those tasks that used to eat up her time? Now farmed out to an assistant.
In fact, we talked about this being one of the biggest game changers for her in 2018. She’s no longer doing work that she shouldn’t be doing.
LOOK, we all have a list of things that we think MUST be done. Most of it can HONESTLY be ignored with little to no consequence.
The rest can and should be farmed out.
Not just because you don’t love it, although that would be enough. You are GIFTED at something. You are BRILLIANT at something. You have a purpose and a calling on your life, your time, your energy.
So, just the fact that these little tasks are time-consuming, boring or irritating is enough. Get rid of them. You’ve got the REAL work to do.
But also, farm it out for MONEY.
The less time you spend in the “have to” or “should” energy… the more time you have to spend doing what YOU LOVE and what LIGHTS YOU UP and, of course, the more money you will make.
But only every single time.
When you farm out tasks that drain you, you’re free to spend more time doing what REALLY brings in the money: BEING YOU.
I invite you…
implore you to TRY IT. =)
