Set Valued Based Goals!

I want to share with you a topic that I am very passionate about – setting goals based on your true values.  Every January, I share this message with the communities I am associated with, if you have heard it from me before stay with me – it’s worth reading again

When I first became a coach 17 years ago, I was all about goal setting. I would say to my clients “Goal setting is the key to creating what you want in your life; you must be clear of your goals and write them down”. Through my personal journey of consciously creating a life I love and supporting thousands of individuals to do the same, I have discovered that yes, goal setting is important BUT fruitless unless those goals are set on a foundation of your true values.

To live a life you love and achieve what your heart desires, you must first be clear on your values. Let me explain what I mean by that:

Values are the things you do that you find very attractive, an emotional state that you feel is very important.  When engaged in these activities you feel most like yourself:  in touch with whom you are, glowing, and life is effortless. Values are the essence of who you are.

While we like these things, most of us lead lives which do not grant us the chance to just do these things. Most people set goals based on ‘have to’, ‘should’ and ‘need’ and are generally too busy with ‘responsibilities’ or ‘incompletions’ to pursue the life they truly desire.

Your values are the intangible aspects of your life that make you feel in alignment, complete, on track, and functioning at a high level. Examples include adventure, fun, service, creativity, connection, and hundreds more. A life that aligns with one’s core values will feel satisfying, even in difficult times.

When we live a life aligned with our values there are many gifts to be experienced:

• Our cup is full and we have so much more to give others.
• We live our life from a place of “attraction” vs. force. We begin to attract like minded individuals and opportunities in our life.
• We do not spend as much time on making decisions – when you are clear of your values it is easy to decide the next best step.
• We create results in our life with less effort.
• We live from a place of joy and gratitude.
• When challenges come our way – we can still be happy. (Have you ever met someone who just got fired from their job, going through a divorce, or experiencing a health challenge and they still exude joy. Now that is living a successful life.)

When we consciously design our life aligned with our values, life gets immeasurably richer – and easier.

OK, have I enrolled you in living a life aligned with your true values? So how do we do that? First you have to get clear on what your values are. Gaining clarity of your values and designing your life around them is a process.

It does not happen over night. I first heard about the concept of values in 1995 when I had my first stint with the Anthony Robbins group and even though I was eager to live life at this new level of passion of fulfillment, it took me many years before I achieved it. When we commit to living a life aligned with our values, really commit, there is a journey of self transformation that happens.

Here is what happens (if you like it or not

• You begin on a path of self exploration and self discovery.
• you must first get your personal needs met (needs in this context is simply put, the things you require on a regular basis in order to do your best work and feel good about yourself.)
• You must be open to healing any unhealed emotional wounds.
• You must become comfortable with the concept of “selfishness before success”.

Begin this journey now – give yourself and those around you the gift of a more joyful and satisfying life.

TLC Coaches challenge:

As you go through the next month, think about how you would complete this sentence:

“If I had plenty of free time and all the money I could ever want, then I would be free to (action) and that would let me experience more (value).”

Continue to practice this exercise over and over to help you identify the aspects of your life that you value most. Keep track of your answers… they’re the roadmap to your life!

For a self coaching guide on setting values based goals check out our ebook on A New Approach to Goal Setting at a discounted rate until the end of January. This is a self-coaching e-book that helps you identify what’s most important to you, and teaches you how to design your life according to your values. It just might be the fastest, easiest way to boost your life to a whole new level, and it will certainly give you a fresh new perspective on your New Year’s Resolutions!

Wow! That is the kind of day we had at www.thewowevent.com. The experience of being in a room full of like minded women, who are committed to being their best and up to big stuff leaves you feeling energized and excited about the possibilities of your life! I was honored to be asked to wrap up the day and help the audience embrace and capture their WOW moments of the day.

It was great to hear the shifts, perspectives and insights that happened for the participants throughout the day. What I know for sure is when you put yourself in an empowering environment it stirs your soul and enhances your belief and commitment that you really can live the life you truly desire.

Thank you to Christine Awram, founder of the WOW conference for making this experience possible.

My friend and colleague Cheryl Cran, professional keynote speaker, author and consultant was also a speaker at the WOW event and we formally launched www.Triplemmastermind.com. We had an overwhelming response. There is no doubt that the trend for self employed women is letting go of the lone ranger mentality and gifting ourselves with outstanding support!

You have a dream, you have a sense of what you can create, you have already created many successes. You are able to manifest what you want, AND right now you can feel the energy to step forward and to really create big results. You don’t want to postpone, delay or put off your big goals any longer. You want to move ahead as quickly as you can and you know you can’t do it alone. So what could you create with the right support?

Imagine having an hour with Tina Fey what could she tell you that would help you move forward quickly. What if you had half a day with Oprah? Or what could you create with half a day with not one but two highly successful entrepreneurs with connections to PR, Speakers Bureaus, Coach Universities, and Book publishers?

The Triple M Mastermind is starting in June 2011 and it will be a small group of 12 likeminded women. This unprecedented program includes meeting with Cheryl and I for half a day a month where we focus on 2 women, their goals, their business stretches and the group masterminds in an online forum for a month until the next half day session. The program is a 6 month commitment and promises to leverage each participant’s success.

We also offer one day strategy programs for those women who want to get a full day focused on them, their business, their life and their big goals. This can include building a coaching practice, building the speaking business, marketing the business, PR strategies, social media strategies, website strategies and more.

We have worked with a number of women who have gone on to create incredible results and we have amazing testimonials from over the moon clients.

We have 2 spots open for the Triple M Mastermind consults- if you are already successful, if you are ready to break through to a new level, if you know you can’t do this next step alone – then sign up now for a consultation to see if this program is for you.

Email us at info@triplemmastermind.com to sign up today!

P.S Come join me at the Wow monthly event – this month I will be sharing my 3 tips on ensuring your business is serving your life and you’re not being a servant to your business.

Happy New Year to You!

I love this time of year, as I get to have many conversations and share my thoughts on what it really takes to live a life you love.  On December 30th, I received a call from the Province Newspaper asking me to share my thoughts on New Year’s Resolutions for an article they were writing. I was thrilled for the opportunity and the first thing I said was, “I don’t agree with New Year’s Resolutions but I will share with you what I have come to know as the key to living a high-quality life” – the editor was intrigued. 

See below for some tips and resources for living a better life and check out my article(s) in last weeks Sunday Province (Off to a Fresh Start for 2011 and Coaches Corner: Fresh Start to the New Year).

Warmly,

Ditch your New Year’s Resolutions and Resolve to Live a Better Life!

The New Year is a powerful time to reflect on your experiences over the past year and, more importantly, pave the way to an even better future. At the start of each year, many of us make resolutions. Yet, for many, those resolutions tend to fizzle by February- yes February. Not because of lack of desire or effort but because bottom line, change can be challenging. The end result, we either put off making New Year’s resolutions because of past efforts that have failed or resort to sheer will power and self motivation – and say to ourselves ‘this year will different’. Can you relate?

My advice, let go of the struggle and ditch the notion of New Year’s resolutions and resolve to live a better life.

Focus on what I call the “backdoor approach to living a better life”. For the month of January decide to create a strong personal foundation to have 2011 be your best year yet.

Here are a few key steps to get you on your way.

1. Give yourself the gift of taking an afternoon, maybe even a day and reflect on your experiences of 2010. What did you accomplish? What did you learn? What are you most proud of? 2010 can be a great launching pad for having more of what you want in 2011. See December’s article for a process of reflection.
2. Uncover your belief system.  If you are not creating what you want in your life, there is a good chance that your beliefs are not supporting your desires. Dig deep – what are your core beliefs? Really.
3. Make a list of what you are tolerating in your life. Tolerations are things that cause you frustration, hold you back. Tolerations can be small or big; a messy desk, a job that does not reflect your natural gifts, a negative friend. Make your list and resolve to be toleration free by the end of the year.  Sometimes just making the list, the tolerations magically disappear.
4. Take time to discover your true values. What is MOST important to you, make decisions, set goals based on your values. When goals are aligned with one’s core values, achieving goals feels satisfying, even in difficult times, your quality of life improves and you are naturally pulled towards the results you want in your life.  Check out my self coaching gude on setting value based goals.
5. Take one day at a time. Create a morning ritual to keep you present and committed to the change you want to make. Start your day with meditation, journaling, some kind of ritual to reflect on your life goals. 
6. Resolve not to do life alone. Research shows that humans tend to do difficult things much better in teams and groups than on their own. Build in accountability and support in your life. Hire a coach, get a mentor, have a success buddy.

Living a better life is a process; it is a commitment that we need to act on daily.

By focusing on building a strong personal foundation we will begin to attract what we most desire in our life.

Cheers to a great 2011!

I don’t know about you but I’m already thinking about of what I want to create in 2011. I catch myself thinking ’what do I need to do to prepare and put in place so I can experience all that my heart desires in 2011?’  Here at TLC, we are ramping up for an abundant year! How about you?

Were you part of our call On October 21st on “Cutting Through the BS and Getting to the Abundant YES”?

We talked about:

1. Noticing your thoughts and beliefs around ‘receiving’- practice getting better at receiving – surprisingly for most of us it is not the easiest thing to do!
2. Cutting through your own BS – you must do the work and be held accountable to the roadblocks you put in your own way.
3. Take action – you have to plan and take action towards what you want and you can’t do it alone.   

If you missed the call you can listen to the recording at www.triplemmastermind.com (scroll half way down the right hand column)

Want to be part of something bigger then yourself in 2011? The Triple “M” Mastermind – Mind, Money and a Life of Meaning is a program that is designed for high performing women who are looking to achieve more with less effort, leverage their time, opportunities, resources, and be part of an environment of like minded women who are committed to living their best life.
