Are you focused on things you actually have 100% control over

Published 12 months ago • 1 min read

Reader,

We are 58 days to the end of 2024.

How has 2024 been?

2024 has gone FAST for me.

Some highlights:

  • Turned 50
  • Doubled my LinkedIn followers in the 2nd half
  • Spoke to more women on Zoom than ever before
  • Celebrated Sir Lewis Hamilton winning at Silverstone
  • Hearing the announcement of yet another acquisition at work

Here are my goals for the rest of 2024:

  • Re-introducing my weekly solo podcast episodes (I stopped this in 2023 - you'll hear more about it in tomorrow's email).
  • Invite more women to experience MAP for free.
  • Focus the rest of 2024 on input goals - daily activities that get you to your outcome goals (more about this below).

What are yours?

It's easy to set goals.

Much harder to execute them consistently.

Here's why most people never achieve their goals.

They fixate on their outcome goals, like:

  • The $10k they want to make each month
  • The business they want to have
  • The clients they want to sign

What they don't realize is, these outcome goals are dependent on their input goals which they have 100% control over, like:

  • What they're doing to book more sales calls
  • How often they're inviting people to work with them
  • Doing things that actually grow their business (i.e. make revenue) vs doing things that aren't (i.e. building a course/website that hasn't been market-tested).

Plus a bunch of other factors they have 0% control over, like:

  • The economy
  • The US election
  • If people like you or not

...etc.

Are you focused on the input goals you have 100% control over?

Or are you worrying more about the other factors you have 0% control over?

Get clear on what's truly important to you, your business, and your life.

Then make the remaining 58 days all about that!

Talk to you again tomorrow (about the podcast - can't wait).

Hi Reader, If you’ve ever thought about starting your own business or you’ve already begun, chances are you’ve met these fears head-on: Doubt: Will this even work? Lack: What if I can’t make enough money? Judgment: What will people think of me? I’ve been there too. As a working mom with a demanding job and family responsibilities, I often wondered if I had what it took. Here’s the truth I’ve learned: Building a business is less about the *perfect* strategy and more about who you’re becoming...

Hello Reader, Six years ago, at my dad’s wake, I kept hearing his voice ask me a single, haunting question: 'What will your legacy be?' That question changed the trajectory of my life. Two weeks later, I incorporated my business - not because I had it all figured out, but because I didn’t want fear to dictate my future. Today I honor my dad's 6th death anniversary with this week’s podcast, From Grief to Growth: How My Dad’s Words Shape My Business and how he continues to guide me. I share:...

Hello Reader, Ever set a big goal, then life got in the way?The sick kid. The late nights at work. The weekend that disappeared in errands. That used to throw me completely off. I’d feel like I 'failed' and wonder if I’d ever make my business work. Until I discovered the secret: systems. Systems are what keep me moving, even when everything else falls apart. My morning routine sets the tone for the day. My evening reflection pulls out lessons (even from tough days). My weekend batching gets...
