One of the coolest things about the work I get to do is the incredible connections and conversations that come from my mastermind groups. I’m continually amazed by the women in these groups who are doers and dreamers, and truly passionate about building businesses and careers they are proud of. They’re striving for personal growth and choosing to be intentional with everything they’re doing, and I’m totally here for all of it!
I always walk away feeling inspired and encouraged after talking with them; being a part of conversations like these that are genuine and uplifting leaves me feeling SO grateful, because it really is an honor. After talking with these women about topics that have really resonated with them recently, a common theme that kept coming up was the concept of goal setting – specifically, pursuing goals while still being very present in the season you are in.
In today’s episode, I want to talk more about behind the scenes achievements – things that aren’t always known about publicly, or recognized by other people. Intangible goals are super important, and choosing to pursue something new and different (and maybe out of the norm) should be celebrated. I hope this episode encourages you to take notice of all the behind the scenes work you’re doing and progress you’re making in your life. ALL of it matters, and you’re going to get exactly where you’re meant to be!
In this episode about behind the scenes achievements, we cover:
- The intangible and unseen work that happens when you’re trying to re-shift your identity and bring your unique vision to life
- Looking back to see what you did months and years ago, and how much progress you really have made since then
- Why the tangible and measurable goals don’t always get you closer to what you want
- Taking a step back and meeting yourself where you are right now, instead of feeling like you have to go all in and give something a million percent
- Giving yourself time and space to understand what you really want, instead of putting pressure on yourself to have everything all figured out
- The confusing intersection that happens between chasing something and finding contentment
