2021 | Qualified Failures
I spent this weekend going over my impossible goal for 2021.
It's a big one.
I started mapping out my approach.
My obstacles.
My strategies.
All the fun things.
And my brain freaked the F out many times during the process.
And the freak out is followed by a super fun emotion I reference as "Grindey"
It's like Anxiety, fear, and overwhelm all have a party in my body.
I feel it in my throat.
It's a super fun fight-or-flight vibe.
My brain legit reacts as though I'm considering swallowing gasoline and running through a campfire. 😂
This would SHUT ME DOWN at the beginning of my business.
It felt risky, and I felt like I needed to shut it down and regroup.
Maybe later.
I'll wait until things calm down.
It's not THAT important in the grand scheme.
Maybe it's not the right time.
I'm not prepared for all of this!
I need to learn, study, find a new course to take, etc.
All the bullshit.
I'm not swallowing gasoline next year.
I'm going all-out for a huge business goal.
There is no campfire.
But the animal side of my brain cannot tell the difference.
The pursuit of this goal will feel awful at times.
It should.
The chances of me hitting that goal are highly unlikely.
Hitting the goal isn't the actual reward anyway.
Working through all the drama that my brain offers without letting it shut me down is a reward.
The person I will become in the process of going after that goal is a huge reward.
I will either end 2021, hitting that goal and blowing my mind.
Or, I will end it with a Qualified Failure (I'll talk about this process I created in the future) and a stack of lessons and feeling super proud of myself.
Several of my clients broke their all-time revenue records this year.
In twenty freaking twenty y'all.
Not one of them thought it was possible, but they did it.
They kept going.
They challenged themselves.
They had MANY valid excuses that it wasn't possible for them.
But they kept on trucking.
I highly encourage you to do the same.
Set an impossible goal for 2021.
Ignore the excuses.
Let it feel impossible.
Let your brain freak the F out.
And keep going.
You will either end the year with a huge win.
Or you will have become a different person in pursuit of it.
Most importantly, you CAN learn how to not give up on what you want, even when it feels awful.
It's crazy empowering.
Lady Boss stuff.
Set a big 2021 goal for yourself and go all-in on it.
I'd love to help support you along the way and keep you from giving up.
