The News:
This week I announced my newest offering, The Solo Mission, to the email explorers. Since I didn't really say much about it here, I wanted to share a bit about it with you:
Planning and thinking about the new year isn't enough. It's not enough to plan the best year. You have to have know how to actually follow through. You have to have a system or habit of making your dreams do-able.
And when I talk to you – crafters, makers, writers – this is what you tell me you're missing. You struggle to take action, to know if it's the right action, and to keep your momentum.
It's not enough for you to know about marketing, communication and exploration – you can't do anything with that knowledge until you have a system for applying it on a regular basis.
But on the flip side, I'm surrounded by makers who DO reach their dreams. The Starship is full of artists who reach their income goals, yarn makers who quit their day jobs and designers who become published authors.
I want to help you become one of those dream-reachers this year.
I've taken everything I've learned from explorers who DO reach their dreams, and I've created a plan for your Solo Mission.
Here's what we know works:
- Define what you really want (get crazy-clear).
- Make a map of the steps in between you + your destination.
- Work on doing the to-dos every day.
- Regularly review what's going well (+ what's not) and adjust your map accordingly.
But it's hard for you to keep this up on your own. Life gets in the way – you get swamped with orders, your kid gets sick, you take some time away.
My job is to make your success unavoidable – no matter what life throws at you. Although I can't make you take action, I can provide support, encouragement and just-right questions to set you back on your path, again and again.
Introducing, the Solo Mission.
