DARE TO KNOW YOU!
DIG INTO SOMETHING THAT CAN CHANGE YOUR EVERYTHING.
If your dreams don't scare you, they are too small.

Wanna get more done and feel like you’re crushing it on the daily at work - and in life?
You need a written plan for you how to make that happen.
Trust your girl on this. (That’s me.)
WATCH & LISTEN
10 minutes and 4 steps to writing a vision plan that can completely change your life.
(It’s got music and wine!)
Come on, take a listen.

TAKE ONE OR ALL OF THE FOLLOWING STEPS THIS MONTH
HEAR YOURSELF
Sometimes we need to hear something to believe it.
Lace up your sneakers and go for a walk - or sit quietly with your eyes closed - anyplace where you can hear yourself think.
While you’re walking, speak out loud with excitement about how amazing life and/or work is right now, as if you have already accomplished your vision. (Earbuds help with this if you’re in public so people think you’re talking to a friend).
WARNING: THIS EXERCISE WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
I did this exercise nearly every day for almost a year.
- I lost about 50 lbs doing it.
- I have checked off everything on that vision list (including building my business to where it is today, becoming a mom and meeting a romantic partner who surprises me with travel plans and flowers).
I still do this exercise on the regular and I’m still checking those boxes!
SHARE YOUR VISION
Even when we’re winning, it’s easy to fall off-track.
We need people we can trust to hold us accountable; a friend or trusted advisor who can guide us back onto the road. Like the old song goes, “[we] get by with a little help from our friends.”
Call, text or email a friend today and share your vision with them.
Ask them to read it.
Tell their what your first step will be in making progress towards one part of your vision.
Ask them to check in on you in two weeks to see what progress you’ve made in that first step.
When we know someone has our back - or is just around the corner checking in to see (in a supportive and compassionate way) how we’re faring as we do hard shiz, it can often make the difference between success and failure.
A study by The Association for Talent & Development cites that having an accountability partner increases a person’s chance of achieving their goal to 95%.
