Where to Find People

Now, you are going to think that this is the hard part. But it’s really not, because think about it -

People are everywhere. (Except in your home, where you might be hiding...)

You are just stumped at how to find out.

Here is a short list of where to find people -

Starbucks

Children’s Events

Your Job

People You Know

Your Friend’s And Family - Yikes, really?

Networking Events

Social Media

Walk into a room of 100 people and some of your ideal clients are in the room. Already. They have a need and you have the solution.

When you look at this list, it is easy to see how you can never run out of people to talk to. You just have to overcome the mindset around why you aren’t talking to people and sharing what you do.

People get frustrated when they hear me name the same old list there is for finding people to talk to.

And, let’s be logical about that.

There is no magic vending machine where the right people hang out, looking for what you offer.

Wouldn’t it be stellar if it were that simple?

So, back to the mindset piece...

Your Mindset Around Talking to People

What’s your top goal in your business and why have you not achieved it yet?

Chances are you are stuck in the spin cycle. Have you ever had that happen on your washing machine. It gets stuck and just keeps spinning, and getting no where.

It often needs a reboot, or to be reset to get back on track and do what it is supposed to do.

You may need a reboot, too.

Back to the question about your top business goal, and why you have not yet achieved it.

The only thing standing between you and the success you desire are negative thoughts, which create negative feelings, and keep you stuck in inaction and therefore not achieving the results you desire.

Let’s plug this into the CTFAR model and determine what is keeping you stuck.

Your goal is what goes on the R, or results line.

Under C, or circumstance, let’s write - People need to know about my business.

You can’t stay a closet junkie and expect to move your business forward, right?

What is the thought, or T in this equation?

Could be many -

Who’s going to listen to me?

I don’t know what to say.

Nobody I know will be interested.

Now, anyone of those thoughts will create a negative feeling. that keeps you stuck.

That feeling might be -

Fear

Doubt

Discomfort

Let’s talk about discomfort and it’s role in the process.

Discomfort

Discomfort is okay. In fact, it’s necessary for growth.

It’s important that you become willing to allow some discomfort into the process.

Be uncomfortable on purpose.

Discomfort is just a feeling. It won’t kill you. It won’t make you an outcast among your peers. It won’t wreck your life.

It will allow you to grow.

Does that sound too simple? It is simple, and not always easy.

Think about the difference in short term discomfort vs. long term discomfort.

What is it costing you to stay stuck? What’s your discomfort level with your current situation; or with your lack of the situation that you desire?

How do you feel now about that?

How will you feel next year? In 5 years, 10? At the end of your life?

What regrets will you have?

Which feels worse? Discomfort now? Or for the rest of your life?

Finding Clarity

It’s important to gain clarity around what it is you want. What it is you REALLY want.

And, then how to get there.

First, brainstorm exactly WHY it is you want this goal. What does achieving it offer you? Beyond the MONEY.

People usually start there but it’s never about the money. The cold hard cash. It’s about freedom; choices; expe...

Faith Family/Friends Fun Fitness Finances

It’s amazing what being intentional and consistent can create for you.

I started a fitness challenge that I put together with my daughter and it really whipped my butt into shape.

You’ve likely heard my 10,000 steps journey story and how it has changed my life.

This was more than about setting a goal. It was about a committed intention.

Do you set goals? Do you get goals?

Are your eyes glazed over, thinking about Goal Setting? You may be thinking “I have already learned this SO MANY TIMES.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

Goal Setting From a Place of Abundance

Your First Thoughts Around Your Goals

Getting Specific

What to Watch Out For

Goal Setting From a Place of Abundance

I don’t know about you, but my goal on this earth is to be the best version of myself that I can be. To show up in the best way for myself and all who are around me.

With this thought always squarely in my mind and front and center, it makes it so much easier to direct my thoughts.

Try it - when you think about the “Best version of you”, how do you feel? Write those feelings down so you can always come back to them.

Put them on a note on your phone. Seriously get into the practice of being with these more positive feelings on a regular basis.

When I approach goal setting, I start by directing my brain specifically. And, I get into a good thinking and feeling place.

Give your brain a direction and a focus to follow. If you don’t harness your brain and your thoughts, you aren’t likely to get what you desire. Structure and supervision is critical to success.

You can predict where you will be in your life when you pay attention to what you are telling your brain. What have you told it so far?

What results do you desire in your life?

When was the last time you dreamed. Not in your sleep, but in your waking hours? Are you spending most of your time reacting and putting out fires?

We have become hard wired to think of goals and wants from a place of scarcity; of lack; in a painful way.

We’ve become afraid to dream because it feels hurtful and sad. And, getting into this place is exactly what we need to do and where we need to go so we can break through those obstacles.

We will only break through our limiting beliefs by first facing them.

Then, we can move to a place of goal setting from a place of abundance.

Your First Thoughts Around Your Goals

Typically, we think about everything that we WANT but don’t have when we start goal setting. Those are our first thoughts.

Listen to my show from Thanksgiving 326a.StreetSmartWealth.me

Now, I want you to start the goal setting process by thinking of everything you now have that you REALLY, TRULY want and love. Not exactly from a place of gratit...
