what do you really want

I’m tired of women beating themselves up over not doing what they set out to do.

I can rattle off lists of productivity hacks, tools, and tips but they would be useless. Yes, useless.

Until you can specifically answer this question: What do you really want?

Usually, when I ask women this question they respond something like this:

“I don’t want to feel so scattered.”

“I don’t want to wake up at 3am worrying something fell through the cracks.”

“I don’t want my family to feel like they get the worst of me.”

Notice that all these responses are about what she doesn’t want…not what she does want.

And therein lies the problem.

Until you’re crystal clear on exactly what you want, you won’t reach your goals.

Not being clear on your destination, is like packing your bag, going to the airport, and then deciding where you want to go.

That thinking feels backward – because it is.

Here’s the thing.

You can be really productive the way you’re doing things now.

Emailing, reacting, creating, doing.

BUT, if those tasks aren’t in alignment with what you really want, they don’t matter much.

Ultimately, they don’t move the needle towards your fulfillment or your success.

It’s time for a clarity shakedown.

Carve out 20 minutes to get completely focused and write down what you really want.

Here’s a question that has helped me with this exercise:

“In six months from now, what would I really want my life to look and feel like?”

Start with your precise goals in mind, personally and in your biz.

When you passionately embrace these goals, they’ll guide you through your day, week, month, and year.

You’ll have far greater clarity about where to put your time, attention, and focus.

Your productivity will serve you in more meaningful and gratifying ways.

Yes, you will still be busy.

Yes, you will still be checking tasks off the list.

But the quality of those tasks will steer you towards a more rewarding life, one that instills confidence and courage, that you are unashamedly proud of.

It all starts with the end in mind.

So I’d love to hear from you now.
