Ep. 202: 2019 Goals

 

Welcome to episode 202!! We’re a less than a month away from 2019, and today I’m going to share with you the goals that I’ve set for myself for 2019.

If you recall, back in episodes 155-161, I walked you through my strategic planning process for 2019 so that you could create your own strategic plan for your side hustle.

And I also shared with you that the one thing that would make all the other things I want happen faster and easier – also known as a push goal – is to build a team (and actually use them). So that’s what I’ve been in the process of doing in the last few months of 2018 so that I have a solid foundation to stand on in 2019.

And in those episodes, recorded back in September kind of at the height of my working frenzy, I shared with you my goal brainstorm. But what I didn’t do at that time is really pare any of that down and choose what to focus on.

And I’m so glad I didn’t at that point, because since then I’ve had a few transformational experiences that are leading me to make some different choices than I would have made had I done this back in September.

One is the mastermind retreat I went to at the end of September, and I know I’ve mentioned this on the podcast a hundred times by now and you can get all the details in episode 177, but that experience really helped me break out of the hustle and see things differently.

The second is my podcast episode with millionaire business strategist Kelly Roach back in episodes 195 and 196 where I realized that I’m spending not nearly enough of my time on income producing activities.

And the third is my conversation with Bernadette Doyle back in episodes 198 and 199, also a millionaire business owner who talked about how to stop overworking and focus on income producing activities.

Which led me to reconsider the goals I had been thinking about and really choose a few to focus on, and prioritize how I would show up to contribute my time to them – and how I’ll be rearranging my schedule to make it happen.

You gotta listen to the episode to find out what they are 🙂

I almost can’t wait for December of 2019 so I can report back and let you know that I’ve smashed those goals without killing myself physically to do it!
