Oh. My. Lordy.

First of all I have to apologize to each of you! I have NEVER cancelled a webinar in my life... 

I caught my son's tummy bug and was up literally all night on the pot. #savemysoul plus, husband caught it and well... #manflubelike...

I am super sorry for any inconvenience it caused you, but don't worry!!! We are back on the books. I did a poll and it sounds like ya'll want to do the goal-setting and planning workshop on Thursday, December 27th! Next poll I will be doing is which time works best for the majority of you. 6AM MST or 7PM MST. Or, hit reply and let me know which works better for you.

The good news is that we are all better, health-wise! But, my house looks like a tornado came through... Thus, why I'm hiding at my gym working instead of tackling the (legit) mountain of dishes and stuff that accumulated while we were sick. Send me lots of energy today so I can tackle all. the. things. 

Next up... even more good news!!!! 

In today's show, I put together a teaser of next week's Planning & Goal-setting workshop! SQUEAL! Perfect way to prep and get ahead before we master-mind together.


6 Steps to Goal-Roadmapping for The New Year

Goal-setting, planning, and capturing your potential. It's THAT TIME already! It's a brand new year girl, time to dust off the old and step into the new. Grab hold of what you WANT your life to become and take action daily to make it a reality.

In today's show, I'm walking you through why you need goals (not resolutions), how to goal-set in a tangible way that will leave you no choice but to take action and achieve them! I'll also walk you through 6 steps for goal road-mapping this brand new year.

I hope you enjoy.
Love and light,
Stef

HOW TO START A PODCAST!

I launched my podcast in 2018 after searching for a way to scale my coaching business and grow my following in a faster, more authentic way. I decided on podcasting because I have kids (aka. video isn't my jam), and because audio is growing insanely fast and I saw an emerging trend. Last, because committing to a podcast was my way of showing up consistently and dedicating myself to my mission.

What has podcasting done for my business? Well, my podcast grew my revenue by over 98%! My community has grown by thousands and it has allowed me to touch more people than I ever could have imagined.

I have now helped MANY other women (just like YOU) launch top rated podcasts. Many of them have ranked in the top #30 because of my effective launch strategy! If you want to have a show that STANDS out and grows your business, brand, and mission here on Earth - come check out my proven program.

Now, this is your very last chance. You're going to go to Bitly slash exclusive holiday offer Bitly slash exclusive holiday offer. I will meet you inside. All right, well, let's talk goal setting, sister, friend. What is the goal? It goal is when you create an ideal for your life. For example, I want to be the healthiest me or I want to be debt free. That's a goal. It's an ideal for your life. It's a best case scenario. Why do we need these goals? I feel like we need goals because it continues to move the needle forward. There can always be growth. You can always be your best. You, you can always be better than you were yesterday.

Every chance to create a new goal is a chance to better your life. And there's literally no better time in my opinion, to have new, fresh goals than a new fresh year. And so I want this to be your year of transformation. And I knew that this episode was so necessary. As I sat down to recreate my goals, my vision for my life over the next 12 months, I figured I want you to do it with me. Let's have some fun and let's create this beautiful new life full of goals that we can actually take from an idea to execution because that's what I'm all about is actually having the tools to be our best selves. And this is going to get you there. Now, a lot of you might be thinking, well, I don't really need goals because I have resolutions. How many people set resolutions and do nothing with it?

I would say 90% of people y'all been to the gym in January, right? And then come March. Who's left. And I've been there before, believe me, but I think resolutions are wishes. They're Oh, I'm going to lose 10 pounds. Like, Oh, I'm going to go to the gym. Sometimes. It's just wishy-washy. But when you can tie a goal to a vision, it becomes something concrete. And then when you commit to the goal and you have a roadmap to achieving the goal, it actually becomes a reality. I'm going to show you how here are my six steps to goal setting roadmaps and having success in the next 12 months of your life. Number one, first and foremost, we have to craft a vision for your life one year from now, how can we create goals if we don't know where we're going? So the first step is to write a vision statement for your life 12 months from now, and you're gonna write it in the present tense.

You're going to be as descriptive as possible. I mean, I get crazy with these things. I'm like, I'm waking up to the smell of coconut coffee brewing and I can hear my kids laughing out there with the nanny. Yes, the nanny. Okay. Oh, the doorbell rings and my groceries are delivered to my doorstep. I'm so happy because my husband and I are going to sit down this morning and plan our Bay, our semi-annual trip to Puerto Vallarta. We are then going to head out and I'm going to get my weekly massage, my weekly 90 minute massage. Like, y'all feel me right now. Okay. So obviously I'm not reading it verbatim, but those things are absolutely in there. Create the vision that you want for your life. And nobody's vision is wrong. Your vision is your vision, but make sure you have things in your statement that have to do with spirituality, health, wellness, relationships, and business.

You don't want to hold vision statement focused on business just because that's where your mind is right now. You have to have a balanced of your life. Make sure it's a page at least right? Write that out. Handwrite. It is best so that you can really feel into it. Next step of step one is to also create a visual map of this. You can write it and that's one part of your brain and then you need to see it and it needs to reflect your statement. So for example, when I look at my vision statement, it has a girl getting a massage, cause that's a big piece of it. For me, it's got healthy food. It has spirituality on there. It has beaches. Cause I'm huge on trips to beaches. Yes. Right? I need me some sun and some sand at least once or twice a year.

So all of those things are on my vision board, create the vision board and the vision statement. That's step one, number two, you need to put a number to that vision. And I don't only want you to focus on money. So yes, we need a number. So for example, for me, I would say something like, Oh, that life in that vision statement 12 months from now is 15 to $20,000 a month. And you're going to back into that number so that, you know, all right, annually, it's this and now monthly, it's this and why are we doing that? Because how can you, you go after a goal if it's Oh yeah, yeah. I like to have that, but I don't have any tangibility to, I don't know what that would cost me and listen everybody again, your vision is yours. So you might say, well, 2000 a month would get me to my vision of my life 12 months from now.

Awesome. Okay. Maybe some of you are saying $50,000 a month would get me there. Great. You need to know your number, write it down. What you're going to do next is also put next to that for number two, is there a certain rank or a certain number of clients or a certain number of programs I would need to sell each week in order to hit that number. And that way you can start working into that. So you have to know the number and then maybe the rank or the career or the courses that you would need to make that happen. Number three, and we've kind of already covered. This one is to break down your number into monthly and then weekly amount. It helps me so much you guys to know in my planner, I've got the yearly amount and that's scary. It's like what?

I can never do that. But when I break it into a monthly amount, that's still a big number, but it feels better than I break it into a weekly amount. And I have every week in my planner make X amount of money this week. I'm so grateful that X amount of money is flowing to me this week. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Lord. And interestingly enough, it's so crazy. But when you write that number and your subconscious mind is open to receiving it and you've got the vision in line and you've got the Gusto to go get it done and you're not pressuring yourself. You're just allowing it to flow. It's weird, but I almost always hit my goal number. It's awesome. It takes a lot of time to get there mentally, cause you really have to remove all of the money blocks that might be hindering you.

You've got to remove all of the blinders and the scarcity mindset because there's enough to go around. There's enough for everyone. But when you put the number down as a weekly goal, it's much more realistic and it gives you the accountability to get it done. Number four, create a list of tangible action items that you can focus on every week in order to hit that income or achievement goal. So let me give you just an example. Let's say that I had a goal to hit $10,000 in that let's say it was $10,000 for that much. You can then break that into a weekly amount. Let's say $2,500 for the week. I would know I need to sell one eight week coaching package or I need to have eight one hour clients for example, or I need to have X amount of private clients for one hour each, or I can simply sell three of my exclusive holiday offers.

And if I have that written down in my weekly plan, I know what my goal is. I know I have a product that I can market that I can focus on as my call to action in what my podcasts, my blogs, my videos, my email list as a casual mention. And as I work on growing, my following people purchase from me simply because they know like, and trust me. And if you sell X amount of those, boom, you've hit your weekly goal. Check the box. Now next week you have another goal and you're just consistently focused on the tangible action items that you can do. Now, what else could I do? I could work on growing my following bigger, right? That's why I started the podcast. I'm like, how can I reach more women at a faster pace and help more people at once? And then if they want to purchase something from me, awesome.

And if they don't, that's cool too, because I want to give import into women. And if that's the benefit that I get from growing this awesome following and this show, awesome, like God's got my back, right? God's got your back. What is the thing that you can do for others? And what can you teach? People do more of that. And then the money will follow. Just focus on what can you do at an implementation level. And that's your product that you sell as your call to action. What is the tangible action items you can focus on? Number five, plan commit and dedicate to those goals. So far, we've already set annual goals, monthly goals, weekly goals, daily tangible action item goals. The next step is to plan, commit and dedicate. Listen, if I didn't wake up every day with a plan that I have set the day before, I don't know how I would get any of this stuff done ladies.

Like sometimes I have to wake up at five 30 in the morning and work until my family wakes up. Sometimes I have to record podcasts from my closet like I'm doing right now. Okay. You have to dedicate yourself to the action items that will get you to your goals. Why do we care about our monetary goal? Because the monetary goal creates the life that you mapped out for yourself. That one year vision of where you want to go. You can't get there without working your booty off, being focused and intentional with your time. I don't want to work 24 hours a day. I want to have four hours of really, really kick booty power hours in my day. And the rest of my day is focused on my family, my faith and my health. And I deserve to have that. And so do you, you've got a plan.

And in the time you're going to work on these action items that are going to shift the goal from a wish into a realistic attainable achievement goal is to commit to the time you have to get it done and then dedicate yourself every day. There's no, I don't feel like it today. Every day you're working on the goal. The best feeling in the world is at the end of the year, just like I do every single year. I review my vision statement from the year before I've been doing this for six years, ladies, there is not one year that my vision statement hasn't come at least 80% true. It's a little bit shifted or a little bit off. For example, I said in one of my vision statements, I'd have a boy and a girl didn't get my girl, right? But the other stuff came true.

If you look back six years ago, my goal was to make $1,500 a month and just be able to stay home with my first son. All of that was achieved within the first year. And so I had to create a new vision for my life. I had created a goal in one of my years to have my dream home in the country and to have big open windows and the light streaming in, I have a huge yard for my kids and I have a white picket fence guys. It came true, except my fence is a big white metal fence. Like right. Imagine the power of reading your vision of your life and actually living it. But you cannot do it until you back into the goals, the financial goals, the actionable goals and the attainable goals, and then get them done every day, focus on them and remove any blocks that might be hindering you achievement last step number six, make sure you have clear defined goals in each area of your most balanced life.

So often my clients come to me and they're like, I have a goal. I'm going to make six figures. I'm like, that's it like, that's your goal? Why are you making six figures for what? Cause six figures is cool. Six figures is not cool unless you have it. A reason that you need that. What type of life do you want to live? What are you going to do with that income? How are you going to feel when you make that amount of money? How is it going to change your life? What are you going to pay off? What bills are going to pay off? What vacations are you going to take? What are you going to buy for your kids for yourself? How is it going to impact you? And that way you can create a more well-rounded picture of who you want to become.

It's not just about money. It's not just about business. It's not just about your kids. It's about this full circle of balance. And so you want to have goals in spirituality. So for example, I have a goal of physically going to church three times a week. We travel a lot for me three times a week is great. It feeds my soul. I also have a goal of reading my devotional every single day and also having private time for prayer every day. So those are goals that I have every single week. You have relationship goals, maybe it's a date night. Maybe it's a biweekly little sit down with your hubby to talk about how your relationship's going. Then you've got business goals and this is all the stuff that has to do with making income or doing better in your business or hitting a certain profit margin number or hiring your first person.

These are goals you have for your business. You then have health and fitness goals. And please sidebar. It's not about lose 10 pounds. It's about feeling your best, losing fat or focusing on the inches, not the scale or how you feel or eating clean foods and fueling your best gift, which is your body and your mind. But you have to have goals in all of these areas and then create the tangible goal to get it done. So for example, if I have a goal of living my best healthy self and getting to a certain percentage of body fat, I have a weekly roadmap of, I go to the gym four to five days a week. I know exactly what classes I go to six out of seven days a week. I'm eating within my macros. That will get me to my goal. It's a realistic plan.

And there's no way if I stick to that plan, the goal will not be achieved. Do you guys see that you have to come up with this stuff and you have to be so dedicated to it. I go to the gym every day. I just do it. And then it becomes a habit. And then it becomes a love because you're feeling so awesome. You're going to do this for each area of your life. Now here's the last note I want to mention about this. Don't give up on your goals. Now you're going to create some goals and they might freak you out. Your number might freak you out. You know, the first time I saw a goal of 15,000 a month, I'm like, wow, Holy smokes. Stop the madness. But when I really thought about it, I'm like, yeah, I do want these things. I want to have these weekly massages.

I want to be able to tie the full 10%. I want to travel a lot. I want to not have any debt at all. I want to do this or do that for my kids. Or I want to start this mission project, or I want to do this, but guys it's okay. Your number is your number, but you can't give up until you achieve it. As long as you create the high payoff activity. And then you go after it day after day after day, when you feel like it's not working day after day, you fall off the wagon. Okay? I ate a whole handful of chips today. Like, let's just be honest. I did entire handful of chips and I'm like, dang it. Like I messed up my macros. And then I was like, it's all good. Like I ate the chips, but tomorrow I am not eating the chips.

If you fall off, I mean just dust them off. It's all good dust off because tomorrow's a new day. This is a new year. This is a new, you, you owe it to yourself to keep your promises to yourself. What do you want for your life? Go after it with vigor, don't make any excuses because you are the most important thing to you. And if you are not happy, fulfilled, balanced, and achieving, what is it all for? And take a moment and just revel in the journey. My favorite piece of my entire year, when it comes to goal setting is reading the goal plan that I set the year before stopping celebrating that most of those things have come true. Celebrating the fact that I worked out four times a week. Most weeks I stayed on my macros six days a week minus the handful of chips.

My husband and I are doing wonderfully in our relationship. And we went on one or two date nights a month that were really focused and fun and full of life. It's reveling in the journey and the daily action that gets you to the big win. And don't forget to celebrate those wins because that's what you're doing it for. Don't kick yourself. If you mess up, just get up, nothing can hold you down and nothing can stop you because this next year is yours. I want you to be the most fierce you. I want you to head out there with your head held high, knowing that you have every tool in your tool belt to make this your best, most balanced life, because I am cheering for you. I believe in you. And these are the tools to help you be successful and to get it done.

Now, if you want more help on this, if you are like, I love this goal setting stuff. I want to do this at a deeper level. Go check out passionately profitable. We have an entire week on vision casting, goal setting and planning. And if that's your jam, you're my type of girl. And I want to work with you. The link is passionately profitable dot G R eight. Number eight.com. I will meet you there. I pray over you, my friend listening right now, I pray that you are able to cast a vision of your life 12 months from now that fuels your soul, that whatever it is, that's holding you back today. You realize that that has no hold on you, that you pray over your goals, pray over your vision, ask God to align you with the right people, the right mentors, the right friends, and give you the passion, energy and motivation. You need to go out there and change the world and to step into your calling and then to create the plan to get it done. I pray that you find consistency. I pray that you find the dedication that you need to make that dream life a reality. This year. I pray that you believe in yourself enough to keep the promises you set through this process. And I pray that this next year is covered in love, light and abundance for you as always love and light, Stef.
