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

Published 8 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).

Reader, I've been thinking about why so many smart, capable women feel stuck in their careers. And I realized something: We've been taught to build careers like men in the 1950s - linear, logical, based on external metrics of success. But what if your path is supposed to be different? What if your sensitivity isn't a weakness but a superpower? What if your intuition isn't 'soft' but your competitive advantage? What if your desire for meaningful work isn't 'unrealistic' but exactly what the...

Reader, Here's a stat that stopped me in my tracks: 73% of working mothers are planning a career change within the next 12 months. But here's what the research doesn't tell you: Most of them will make the same mistake I made for years - they'll change their job, not their approach. Different company, same exhaustion. New role, same feeling that something's missing. What if I told you the women who actually create careers they love aren't just changing jobs - they're changing how they make...

The Weekly Newsletter CAREER COACH FOR WORKING MOMS I've always been the person who makes career decisions that look crazy from the outside. Pay cut for a smaller role? ✅ Leaving stable jobs for unknown opportunities? ✅ Following gut instincts over spreadsheet logic? ✅ People thought I was either brave or reckless. Turns out, I was just being myself. Last week I discovered Human Design - basically a personality system that creates your 'user manual for life' based on your birth details....
