What would it look like to DO the damn thing you REALLY want to do in your life? Do you know where to start identifying what that thing is and how to make space for it?
To wrap up 2023, I wanted something new, fresh, and inspiring vs. just the normal old goal-setting and planning. I wanted to get super solid on WHAT I'm focusing on in the coming year and WHY. I want to go after my biggest dreams 150%!
In order to get clear on what that looked like, I needed to dump all the puzzle pieces of my life onto the table and see which ones fit and which ones didn't (some belonged to someone else's puzzle entirely, and I have no idea how they got in my bag!).
It was in Taking Inventory personally and professional and doing a little soul-searching that I met today's guest, Bevin Farrand, author of Your Damn Manifesto which is a guide to getting clear on your vision and putting it front and center at all times.
In this episode with Bevin:
- Why she encourages us all to just do the damn thing in life!
- What a personal manifesto is and what it can do
- How to identify your most meaningful dreams and goals (even if you want to do #allthethings)
- How micro-steps can help us get the miles
- Why the "moments" matter more than the "minutes"
- What to do if someone "poo poos" your idea and dream
- What to do about your mindset if it's not in the right place to get started
- And so much more!
