09/30/18 • 25 min

[Tweet "In between goals is a thing called life, that has to be lived + enjoyed."]It's Sunday, so you know what that means, right? It's time for us #GoalGetters to grab our planners and plot out how we're going to conquer this week-- Beyonce style. Time to schedule those meetings, study sessions, and upcoming events that can help us get closer to our goals.Can I take a peek at your planner right quick? Hmmm... just what I thought.🧐 It seems to me that you have everything all sorted out but I can't seem to see where you scheduled some intentional joy time in there. Hey listen, don't worry. I used to do it all the time too. I'd make sure I got all the things done, but fun? Adventure? Exploration? Hell to the naw naw! It was all hustle for me. That is until I found myself in yet another creative/emotional rut. I was starting to face burnout again for the 50 millionth time. 😒 So what did I do? I made joy a priority!Every week I'd take my planner and pencil in something fun (preferably free), or adventurous that would help break up the monotony of the dream chase. And let me tell you it dug me out of my funk and helped me to reconnect with me again. If you're anything like me-- all work and no play-- then this week's episode is for you!

Episode No. 29 Asking For Help With Alisha Nicole

"I believe God pushed me to do this crowd funding campaign because i'm so used to being in control. This forced me to ask for help." -Alisha NicoleYou can bootstrap, hustle and make ish happen on your own for a while but eventually there comes a point in every dream chase where you have to reach out and ask for help. I know-- that word help made your skin crawl right? Trust me I get it! You've made it this far on your own, didn't you? You figured it out, worked hard and stuck by that dream of yours until you made it a reality right? Why would you need to start asking for help now? Isn't that a sign of weakness? Hecky naw! Sometimes asking for help is the bravest thing you can do. You see, we're not created to do this life alone, and that my dear, includes your dreams and goals. We all need help at some point it can just feel icky asking for it. Why? Well because we tend to glorify "self- made men and women". Well let me let you in on a little secret-- even your fave needed a little help along the way. And yes that includes, Beyonce, Oprah, Obama and if you're ready to go to a new level in your dream chase it's going to have to include YOU too!In today's episode, we're chatting it up with Alisha Nicole; author, business coach and founder of the media brand Living Over Existing.
