“It's hard to succeed as a woman if we leave parts of ourselves out of our vision…. We need inclusive plans to show up to our full life.”

You are not your business.

When we untangle ourselves from our businesses, when we make quarterly business goals that are separate from but aligned with our seasonal goals, we thrive in business and life.

I explain:

• The difference between seasonal and quarterly goals
• Why you might have more than four seasons and how to define your seasons
• How to think about both kinds of goals and the actions you’ll take
• Why our actions sometimes don’t look the way we think they will
• How you can move forward without hustling
• An amazing way to get support in creating and implementing both your seasonal and quarterly goals

DOABLE CHANGES

At the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Action is where change happens.

Even though we want big change, it’s really little things done over and over that make the difference. So pick a doable thing. Put it in your calendar. Weave it through your days for a week and then move on to the next one. It will have a snowball effect.

Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:

• IDENTIFY YOUR SEASONS. Seasons and quarters don’t always align, and often we have multiple seasons of different lengths. For example, the holiday season might feel different from winter. You might have three weeks of back to school transition between summer and fall or maybe you think vacation, back to school, back to business … Identify the season you are in now and what is coming next.
• THINK ABOUT QUARTERLY GOALS. I give some questions in the podcast to help you identify your quarterly goals. Take some time to journal on those questions. What’s one goal for the next quarter?
• WHAT ARE THE OBSTACLES? Sometimes our actions seem a little out of place with our goals, but in addressing our obstacles they move us forward. For example, maybe before you can do the creative work you need on your book, you need to get more sleep. Or maybe you need to do mindset work on visibility before you can reach your marketing goals. Note the obstacles in the way of your goals. Identify actions you could take to move past them.

“Learning gets me excited about something new. And so I'm using that energy to really step into the fall and see how I'm wanting to meet these things that are already on the calendar.”

—Mia Moran

Learning new things doesn’t have to derail plans you already set. Learning can get you refocused and re-energized about what you are doing.

We’ve started Back to Business week, and there are so many ahas happening. It’s not too late to join — and even if you aren’t an entrepreneur, you’ll get a lot out of days 4 and 5.

Each day offers several 5-minute videos that are with so much greatness, and if you are overwhelmed by the idea of listening to 55 talks (which you can do in an hour a day for one week), I wanted to show you how I am weaving them in.

Let’s set up your fall and get you into learning and applying what you learn to the things you already plan to do.

DOABLE CHANGES

At the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Change comes from action.

Doable changes are things that you can add into your life, one at a time to make micro shifts and really create a ripple effect that will create a big change over time. Choose one that really piques your interest and roll with it.

Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:

• CHOOSE YOUR FOCUS. You can’t do all the things at once. What do you really want to focus on this fall? Choose four for business and three for the rest of your life. Then get more specific. If one of your focus areas is marketing, where are you focusing within that? See the Back to Business week workbook 1 for a worksheet on this Doable Change.
• SET UP YOUR WEEKLY FLOW. We need to put the things we are going to do into time, and we do that with a weekly plan, but it helps to start with a weekly flow. So when will you work with clients? When will you spend time on the focus areas you chose? Block that out so you can see it visually.
• CREATE YOUR MORNING/CLOSING PRACTICES. How we start and end the day matters. A new season is a great time to reset your daily practices. What is the first thing you want to do each day? Think about a practice that will support your throughout the day or set you up with a strong start. What is the first thing you want to do when you start work? And finally, how will you signal to yourself that you are done working and close in a way that sets you up for the next day? Pick ONE of these routines to set up now. Once you are in practice with it, add one of the others.

–Gosia Gorna

In 5 minutes, Gosia Gorna taught me the idea of the expansion game and being able to expand yourself to be open to so many more possibilities than I think we often let ourselves be open to. I can’t wait for you to meet her.

The voices that try to protect us are voices of fear, and so often they keep us from expanding and doing what we were meant to do. Those times you procrastinate or don’t send out the email or make the call are your response to that fear. But the biggest fears are actually showing us where to go.

A loving community or coach can help you spread your wings and fly. Ready to expand?

We talk about:

• Playing with your fears
• Holding both sides of things
• What shifts when you approach things as a spiritual quest instead of a series of to dos
• Why “what do I need to do?” shouldn’t be the first question you ask yourself in the morning
• Breath and the courage to meet yourself
• The power of taking the time to just be

DOABLE CHANGES

At the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Action is how change happens.

Often we feel like our actions have to be huge to match the bigness of our desires, but we have seen over and over and over again that the little things add up. By stacking up a series of Doable Changes, you will create that big change that you crave. Choose the one that really resonates with you this week and really make it part of your life.

Here are Three Doable Changes from this conversation:

• SET THE INTENTION. Set an intention for what you want and see it done. Really see it done. Focus on being with it, being here. See if it shifts the feeling of the to dos.
• SET SURRENDER ALARMS. We need reminders to pause. Because these pauses are often 5–10 minutes, they can feel awkward to calendar. Try setting an alarm called Pause or Surrender or Just Be throughout your day. Use a pleasant sound, like a gong or bell. When it goes off, pause and just be for a few minutes.
• ASK EXPANSIVE QUESTIONS. To get the most from your intuition or angels, think about the kinds of questions you...
