Mom-Hack For Hitting Big Goals In Business (A Step-By-Step Process)

01/10/23 • 30 min

Kelsey is starting off the New Year with some techniques on goal setting and how to be the mom/parent/partner/business owner you want to be this year. She lays out a 4-step strategy and applies this to her own ambitions as a mom and business owner this year.

What we’re talking about...

Goal setting that is focused on where you are at in life
Kelsey provides a 4-step strategy to become the person you want to be this year
Step 1: “The type of person I want to be” statement
Use this concept to focus in on your goal
On the parenting side, Kelsey shares, “I want to be the kind of mom that enjoys the chaos of having a three-year-old”
Step 2: Define that kind of person by giving examples
Kelsey focuses in with specific examples and moments that would enable her to hit her motherhood goal
Defining with examples helps you hit specific goals, instead of feeling challenged to hit a generalized goal
Step 3: Create a mantra around this new goal
This works to create new neural pathways in your brain to help you achieve your goal
This often includes a statement like, “I’m doing a great job”
Step 4: Notice when your internal dialogue goes to a place you don’t want it, acknowledge this, and then make the shift
When it comes to parenting, sometimes the best thing you can do is manage your own emotions
This step helps you approach the situation in a more intentional way
Kelsey shares her business goals for the year and applies this 4-step strategy to the Coaches Incubator

Behind The Scenes: A Typical Work Day For A Coach

Kelsey shares her secret to juggling a business and family — all while trying to enjoy every chaotic second of it. She explains how she has built a schedule around this season of her life and lays out her day by day agenda.

What we’re talking about...

Kelsey often talks about the chaos of life with little ones and a business, but this week she explains how she manages to do this through a crafted scheduled
Each day of the week fluctuates in work loads to mom duties to everything else in between
She explains how she works bests when batching work and once she’s in the zone (which inevitably plays a role in her weekly structure)
Monday Kelsey dedicates to work and the most brain-power, creative to-do’s she needs to get done
Tuesday is what she calls a 50/50 day, between getting work done, visiting with family and taking care of the kids
Wednesday is the coaching day where she sits on calls and gets inspired from the hump day of the week
Thursday is a catch-up/administrative kind of day since it’s early out day at Kenna’s school
Friday is an off-day and a time to relax and enjoy the kids
The weekends (at least in this season of life right now) is dedicated to spending time with her family
Even when working she crafts her days in a 9am-2pm structure to then enjoy kiddo time when school and childcare are over
Throughout the week, she also explains how intentional she must be to create me-time and spend meaningful time with her husband
