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


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).

This week’s podcast was a personal one. I talked about the moment I realised my 'stable' corporate job was not safety and what I’ve learned after almost 30 years in HR about real financial security for women.

But from the HR side, I’ve seen: People made redundant in...

Have you ever written a LinkedIn post, felt good about it, then suddenly your chest tightens, your mind races, and you quietly close the app? You tell yourself, 'This is silly. It’s just LinkedIn.' But your body feels like you’re about to step on stage in front of 10,000 people. In this week’s podcast episode, I break down why that happens and what you can do about it. This isn’t about algorithms or content tricks. It’s about the psychology behind your fear of being seen. Your Brain Is Wired...
