Setting a Goal Always Feels Good

At the beginning of the year or month, it always feels amazing to set an impossible goal.

Because it’s easy to feel good about a goal you haven't started yet.

It's exciting, you've got time ahead of you, your belief is strong.

You haven't had to take action yet, and you haven't had to OWN your goal yet.

When you're freaking out and doing an ugly cry on your bathroom floor, it's because you're finally taking the goal seriously.

If you're not freaking out, fantastic.

But if you are, know that it is part of the impossible goal-getting process, and your only job is to love yourself and keep going.

Stream of Thoughts

Things are shifting in my business and I’m excited about the changes that are to come.

Thoughts that have been occupying my mind:

1. Will I continue blogging after my 730-days-in-a-row challenge is up? Is it still the best place for me to put my energy and value?

2. What do I actually want my day to look like?

3. How many of the things on my to do list are actually totally unnecessary for my ultimate mission and goal?

I’m pondering these thoughts today. I’ll keep you updated.

Happy International Women's Day!

In honour of International Women’s Day AND my Grandmother’s birthday, today I’m reposting this, one of my favourite posts on my blog:

Sometimes people ask me why I am such an ambitious woman. 

Why do I need to go after impossible dreams? Why not just be satisfied with the way things are?

And I'm like, GIRL. We need to talk.

You and I are some of the first women in history – and still in the world today – to have the freedom to even TRY to fulfill our potential.

And that is only because we are standing on the shoulders of generations of women who fought for us to have the opportunities we have. 

My heart breaks at the thought of all the women with brilliant ideas and dreams who never got a chance to attempt them.

Thanks to ambitious women fighting for our rights – to vote, to go to school, to have bank accounts, to have reproductive choices – you and I have the chance to go after our dreams.

Ambitious women changed the world for us.

And now it's our turn to be an example of what is possible for the next generation of women.

I will never, ever, apologise for being ambitious.

I owe it to my grandmother.

I'm Hosting a Free Challenge!

THIS IS HAPPENING.

The official Impossible Girls 5 DAY CHALLENGE:

Make Your First Dollar Doing What You LOVE

Inspired by the conversations in my Facebook Group over the last few days, I'm going LIVE each day this week to walk you through the steps to making your first dollar (at least!) doing what you love in FIVE DAYS.

Shifting from seeing yourself as a “newbie” or a "struggling entrepreneur" to being someone who makes money in business is the most important thing you can do at the beginning of your entrepreneurial journey.

By the end of the week, my goal is to get EVERYONE who participates over the line to officially be a paid coach/artist/consultant/brand designer/*insert your thing here*.

What we're going to cover:

• How to create a compelling offer that people actually want to buy

• Pricing/how much you should charge for your offer in the beginning

• Exactly where to find your ideal clients/customers

• How to get those to come to YOU (we won't be chasing after people or sliding into DMs)

(If you've already made your first dollar, you can still participate – and set the goal at $100 or $1000 for 5 days).

The challenge is totally free, but it could be the most important thing you do all year.

We start Monday.

To participate, join the group here.

Scheduling Thinking Time

I’ve started scheduling time in my calendar just to think.

To sit with a pen and let whatever thoughts I need to think come to me.

(My mum always says she can’t think without a pen, and I’m exactly the same).

It’s blissful to schedule this time into my calendar, instead of attempting to squeeze it in when I have a free moment.

Have you ever tried scheduling thinking into your day?

Things You Don't Need In Order To Make Money Doing What You Love

Things you totally don't need in order to make money doing what you love:

• A website

• A sales funnel

• An email list

• A logo

• A business card

• A podcast

• A blog

• A business plan

• A large following

• Social media

Yup, you don’t even need social media AT ALL.

All it actually takes is:

1. Connecting with people

2. Adding actual proper mind-blowing value to their life for free

3. Reminding them often that they can buy your epic stuff

This is true whether your passion is mowing lawns or creating courses or designing websites or selling scuba diving gear online.

You can make money doing what you love today – literally on this very day.

You already have everything you need.

What if you just went out and connected with people today, added value to their lives, and let them know what you have to offer?

You could make money doing what you love today.

Why not start now?

Favourite Thought Right Now

Favourite thought right now: I can handle anything.

Untapped Potential

Energy stored in an object due to it’s position is Potential Energy.

Energy that a moving object has due to its motion is Kinetic Energy.

Every person in this world has the Potential Energy to hit their goals within them.

The key it to turn it into Kinetic Energy, and actually get it moving.

Don’t let yourself be unrealised potential.

What are you doing today to move closer to your goal?

Designing the Set for My Ideal Self

Unpacking is a bummer.

That’s why instead of moving into our new apartment and unpacking my old life, I’m designing a set – and I am playing the starring role.

• Who is the person who lives in this apartment?

• What does she wear?

• When does she exercise?

• What time does she get up?

• What time does she go to bed?

• What food is in her fridge?

• Who comes over?

I’m not simply moving into a new apartment.

I’m stepping into the next level version of me.

You don’t have to move house to do this.

Step into future you, now.

March 2021 Goals

This is the first month in our new apartment in Wellington, so I feel a bit like a kid at Christmas! I used to live here as a student but coming back as my own boss feels like a whole different version of me – and the city feels so different now.

1. Grow my Impossible Girls Facebook Group to 5000 members!
   We’re currently on 3900 members, and they’re all the love of my life. I genuinely feel a massive pull to grow the group to include more people with big dreams so everyone can help each other. I mean, the more members, the higher chance someone will be able to connect you to the person you’re looking for or support you in your goal.

2. Show up every single day in my group and add more love than ever before.
   Most days I show up in the group. But I don’t just want to show up. I want to make an impact – that’s the entire reason I started the group, so we can all support each other. I have already created a whole list of ways I want to show up with love to this group this month, and I can’t wait to share them with you guys. If you’re not in the group, you definitely want to be this month! Join here.

3. Do some of our Tony Robbins relationship course each day.
   Last month I set the goal to complete the Ultimate Relationships Course with my boyfriend, but I realised that rushing it defeats the purpose. Just like the relationship itself, the idea should be to enjoy the process, not rush to the end.

4. Mindset journaling every single morning, no excuses.
   My most successful goal-getting months last year were the months where I did the most mindset work. I stayed in my certainty that the goal would happen. I came back to the breakthrough energy several times each day. I stepped into being my future self 10, 15, 20 times a day. This is the most important one on the entire list!

5. Go walking 3x a week.
   Our apartment is right in the centre of the city, and I absolutely can’t wait to go walking on the waterfront and explore the streets again. Tomorrow, I’ve got a 6:45 am walk-and-drink-coffee date with my best friend Georgia and I’m actually keen to get up that early to begin!

6. Join a hip hop class.
   I have been waiting, waiting, waiting for this moment, where I can finally put roots down and join a dance class knowing that I won’t be leaving anytime soon. I’m here in Wellington for the foreseeable future so I can’t wait to get involved with all the classes and events.

7. See friends 3x a week.
   I feel so lucky to have the luxury to see people in person without restrictions in New Zealand, so I want to make the most of it and hang out with my friends as much as I can. Lots of people have a “word of the year”, and I never created one, so I decided to create a “word for this city” – Friendship.
