What has been your biggest learning this year?

ClareWilliamson

I was talking to somebody yesterday who completed one of my market research surveys and I shared with her that when I didn’t win the Reality Show I took part in earlier this year, I had a moment where I was like “I’m done!”

I could see no other way forward without somebody giving me the coaching I felt I needed to take my own coaching business to the next level for free because I felt I “couldn’t afford” the level of support I needed.

That was my first big learning of this year.

I still had a terrible scarcity mindset.

In spite of all the things I’d done to work on it and the big leaps I’d made, blocks around money were ruining my chance for greater wealth and success (and as such, greater impact).

This is something I have completely transformed since I got back from that show in May. I thought I’d rewired my money mindset, but the truth was that I still was living in deep scarcity in my mind and I was making decisions from that place, which weren’t progressing my life or the impact I wanted to make on others.

My second learning was that I hadn’t truly healed from my experience of being raped.

Again, I thought this was something I’d already done, but I realised in the Play to Win Reality show that I really hadn’t. I hadn’t connected with the feeling of shame for being raped and I was still  feeling this in many areas of my life in the present day.

Both my scarcity mindset and my inability to feel the thing I have been most scared about (vulnerability) were stopping me from taking the massive action I needed to show up, which was the one thing missing between where I was and the income and impact I truly wanted to make.

And these learnings have paid me Iback dividends!

I’ve just come out of the best three months I have ever had earning wise  (I have tripled my income since May).

I’m now working with a Coach that charges more money than I currently own, but I’m ready. Something significant shifted in me. I realised that if nothing changes, nothing changes. We’ve got to go all in our goals, do what we haven’t done and go where we feel most fear to succeed. And if we aren’t willing to do that, write off the chance of success you seek. Or at the very least, know it will take you significantly longer, with significantly more frustration and lack to get to where you really want to be.

Actually investing to match the level I want to see change in my life is the only thing I hadn’t done to really hit my Big Audacious Hairy Ass Goals thus far. And my new Coach said something that really got me thinking… If we fear investing, surely that means we are assuming we are going to fail.  She’s right.

One month into my coaching, I am now ready to release my 8-week u_UNLEASHED program to help others unleash their inner potential to create more income and impact in their lives.

The program has everything you need (everything I lacked) to create, launch, scale and market an offering FAST  that impacts others and generates a sustainable and scalable income that gives you the freedom-based lifestyle your soul craves and your heart deserves.

I’ve done it. Now you can too. The programme is split across

– Superhuman Mindset & Performance coaching from my MyndDojo,

–  Strategy coaching for simplification, automation and scale,

– And Marketing coaching and strategy that makes you stand out from all the other cookie cutter crap you see on social media, so that your message and mission gets heard over all the other noise and you make the impact that is your Soul Goal.

A Powerful Exercise to Get Your Life Back into Balance NOW

ClareWilliamson

I reached glass ceiling of “coping” this morning with the juggle of motherhood and my business.

Since getting back from holiday my work-life balance has slipped because I decided while away that it was time to take massive action to go to the next level!  But the result has been…

TOTAL CHAOS.

I am back on the hamster wheel that I effectively managed to get off just over a year ago, but this time I won’t make the mistake of staying on it to the sacrifice of my own health and the happiness of my family…

Because if we are doing all of this for anything; it is for them, right?  For the freedom to be present and fulfilled and our “best self”, so we can be everything they need and give them everything they need, so they thrive!

So why do we sacrifice that, to get that?

Good question, right?

Is it one you have asked yourself already?

Do you want to get off the hamster wheel and live life, happy, fulfilled and achieving your big dream?

Here is a powerful exercise to get your life into balance FAST.

  1. Grab a pen.  Braindump everything you are “working away on” at the moment (think of that hamster wheel.)  Every single thing that is taking your focus and causing you to run the hamster wheel non-stop.  Put brackets around any projects that are out of the norm for you, but you are working on them at the moment.
  2. In the next column write down the business outcome of each activity in column 1.  The business outcome you are working towards by doing it.  This is column 2.
  3. In column 3, write down how much time this activity should take you, if you were laser-focused on it.
  4. Ask yourself a question at this point:  Are these activities effective at achieving the outcome you are looking for?  If no, would they be effective if you were laser-focused on doing them?  If no, is it time for a new strategy?
  5. Put your desired/expected $ amount in column 4.  Consider, is this activity what you would consider income-producing?  If it isn’t, can you scratch out this activity or change it?
  6. Add up the total $ amount from your activities and below your columns, think about what you want your life to look like with this amount of money in it.  Spend some time really picturing it… What are the activities you are doing on a daily basis?  When are you working?  What does your house look like?  Where are you travelling to?  How often?  What are you saving for?  How is your relationship with your husband/kids/friends?  What are you doing together?  Where are you living?  What are you enjoying?  What are you doing just for you?  Write your vision down in a paragraph and get descriptive!

Time to consider again, and be honest…  What could you already be doing now if you jut had more time?  Time freed up by being laser-focused on your income producing activities?

When I did this exercise I was flabbergasted to see I actually only had one income-producing activity in my business and if I was laser-focused in doing it I could do it in 1 hour a day!!!

I started to get excited.  I got that sick/anxious feeling that I have started to identify as the dizziness of freedom!  I realised I could have most of what I wanted right now if I could just be laser-focused in my business!

So the big question arose…  Why can’t I be laser-focused now?

And then it dawned on me.  I’m holding back from going ALL IN because the next level of success in my business scares me just as much as the first level did.

Thankfully I now have the experience to know that ACTION walks through FEAR and builds self-belief and confidence faster than anything…

I guess I also had to question whether I feared the freedom to be fully present with my kids too at this point.  Because filling all those hours with activities is daunting and draining.  I also had to question whether my fears related to money were at play a little bit again, anchored in the past because when you are not working it feels like you are not earning, even if the money is flowing into your bank account; a bit like a guilty feeling that life can be that easy after such deep struggle.

FEAR.  False Evidence Appearing Real.  Fear I know I can conquer, again, by continuing to stay fiercely in control of my thoughts and trusting my heart’s desire to go forward and keep travelling towards the life that is waiting for me on the other side of myself.

I have been on such a deep journey of inner healing, which I will share with you in my next blog.  You can also be that person.  The person that gifts yourself the freedom from your biggest limiting belief – the lack of belief in yourself. Belief blocked by fear born out of your past experiences. The past experiences that are in fact your greatest power to create future that you want.

Look back at your columns now and your vision and consider any projects you can complete in the next few days to free up some space in your days.

Add up the time you actually need for your income producing activities, plus the other business activities you need to do on a weekly basis, like accounts and blogs and schedule into your diary when you will undertake these, in designated blocks with regular breaks.

Think about any changes you want to make to how things are now in your life that would make things easier for you and contribute further to balance.  I realised that I need to be asking more of my children in terms of contributing and could do my food shopping on a weekend when I have more time.  Little things, but big difference.

If you’d like a template of the steps I used above with examples, please complete the short contact form below and I will send it across to you!

 

I hope like for me, balance is easy to find now you have a simple tool to use.

Much love,

From Unsure to Unstoppable

ClareWilliamson

Are you an overthinker? Is it making you hesitant, doubtful… stuck?

Do you know there is potential in you that is untapped and things in your life that you haven’t achieved yet, but there is something holding you back?

Do you want clarity on what is keeping you stuck?

I was driving back from the gym the other night randomly thinking about all the books I used to love as a kid. It was all of the adventure books – Swallows and Amazons, Borrowers, Alice in Wonderland, all the Enid Blyton books; anything that really was magical and adventurous or about faraway places.  It got me thinking about what this says about me and I guess because I have done so much self-discovery in the last year it specifically got me thinking about how I have come full circle, back to realising travel is my biggest dream, freedom is my number one value and adventuring is something I want to get back to doing.   We are at our most pure when we are children, before all those things that happen in our life define us, before we are moulded by society and the dreams of others, before school tells us what we should be and our on going roles define us.

Everything in our life creates a memory with an attached emotion an often, if the emotion is a negative one, like fear, we will hesitate and overthink to protect ourselves.  Suddenly that dream that was once so simple when we were a child now needs a plan:

  • How am I going to do it?
  • I need a plan…
  • How can I do it?
  • I don’t know how to do it…
  • I can’t do it.

Bang goes the dream. You push it to one side because you have overthought it.

This is holding you back from living the life of your dreams. It is blocking your power to manifest abundance in your life. And if you’re honest. It’s making you feel like shit.

I know because I was there. I was holding myself back from living the life of my dreams.  I was overthinking everything, constantly anxious and not taking action, which was breeding more inaction and fear.

Now I’m making my dreams and goals come true.

What changed?

  • I got clear on the vision of what I wanted in my life
  • I started feeling OK with dreaming. At first I felt bad for even thinking about having more than I already had because I had a husband who loves me, two beautiful children and a roof over our heads. Why did I need more?  I beat myself up until I changed my focus. Then I   started to feel OK and confident to put aside all notions that my dreams were impossible
  • I started accepting that people thought I was crazy and that I was different – the business I chose to finance my dreams was not a conventional choice and it attracted criticism. I felt deep guilt as I watched other mums go back to work and I didn’t have to and for a while it felt weird that I could run a successful business in just a couple of hours a day
  • I became Positively Selfish. I believed it was OK to make space in my life to work on me and work on dreams.

All if these things were possible after I did some important work first.  Did you grab my free Success Hack Checklist?

If you didn’t, let send it you now!

 

 

Not one of the above can happen before you take some first important steps.

The next steps that can follow are:

    • You can comfortably take some time out to get to know you again.  Check out this video from Facebook that talks about what can define us and take us away from our true authentic self, and we can reconnect with it

  • Start living like your dreams have already come true. Start making decisions like you have already arrived at your goals.  This for me required saying YES.  I’d got to this place where I had stopped saying yes and was saying no to everything.  I had this big bag of excuses: not enough time, not enough confidence, not enough money.
  • Come to terms with your dream being OK – dreaming of having more than what you have already is OK
  • Do something every single day to take you closer to your dreams. I give you some ideas of how to do this in that Success Checklist.  Make sure you request it in the contact form below:
