YL 7 DAY BIZ BOOTCAMP: DAY 2

Helllllo hello! You ready to put your pen to the paper today + get moving?! I sure hope so… because today we’re LAUNCHING you right into goal setting— something absolutely fundamental for your business! Let me be clear, today will mostly require you to be interactive! You cannot just simply read along on this day. Grab a pen, your fav notebook (or piece of scratch paper lol), and let’s get going! We’ve got a lot to cover.

Like I said, we’re going to set goals today. We’re also going to talk about your strengths + natural gifts! And how you are going to use those to set tasks to crush those goals!

Let’s dive in!

First things first, I want you to make a list right now of your STRENGTHS! And yes, you have strengths! Every single person on this earth is equipped with different gifts that they get to bless other’s with. You are not an exception to this.

You are allowed to speak kindly about yourself. And here I am telling you that you must :) 

Maybe… you’re really good at holding conversations with people one on one. Or maybe you’re very organized or driven or creative. Or a great teacher. Knowing your enneagram number is super handy for stuff like this by the way!

Time to write down in your notebook, *at least* five of your strengths! Then come on back here.

Ready… GO! *insert Lizzo’s Good As Hell*

Alright! You’re back! That wasn’t so hard, was it? Whether you feel like it or not, I’m here to remind you that you are a GIFTED human being, capable of making great waves in this small pond we like to call Young Living. In fact, not just capable, but necessary. Your gifts + strengths are NEEDED right here, right now. And they are your magic ticket to RCD!

Now I want you to spill out your heart— we’re going to write out some dreams!!

Right now I want you to just let your mind + heart wander. Write out any and all dreams you have with this business— all the big, audacious, scary ones. Maybe ones you wouldn’t dare tell anyone right now because it just seems so far out of reach. Big, big, big stuff!!! Set a timer for two minutes, then come back!

Here’s a little something to get the mood right—

How fun was that? Ah. Nothing like dreaming big, my friends. And let me tell you… your dreams are unique + tug on your heartstrings for a reason. They’re there, deep within you, not by chance or coincidence. So have the audacity to chase them, knowing they are for YOU to catch!

Now let’s reel it in a bit— not the energy + emotion ;) BUT the timeline! I want you to set “right now” goals, “then” goals, and “one year later” goals! Read through until I tell ya to go write these down, k?!

“Right now” goals will be the things you want to accomplish *this month*, or next month. They’re the goals that you are going to pounce on like a tiger hiding in the grass!

“Then” goals will be what you want to accomplish in the next quarter-ish— think 4-6 months from now. They’re the goals that you’re going to chase after with the same energy as your “right now” goals! They’re close enough where you can “run” without getting winded + burnt out. 

“One year later” goals… well I think you get that one! Where do you want to be one year from now?! It’s helpful to look at where you were a year ago when setting this— it’s crazy to look back + see that steady increase, huh?!

Now. When setting these goals it’s easy to get trapped into thinking each one has to be centered around a rank. Which is not necessarily a bad thing!! You *should* be writing down ranks as goals. But also, be sure you’re setting goals focused on OGV growth, flipping your team members to certain ranks, a certain paycheck, enrollments, members on your team, etc. 

It’s kind of nice to pull up your organization as set these too. Look through all your legs, leg’s legs, etc. Think about what you need, what they need. Check out the numbers + how everything lines up.

Don’t box yourself in by thinking, “should that be a goal?” Honey. If you’re asking that… the answer is YES!!

Now I’m about to send you off to go write down goals in each of these categories (right now, then, and one year later) but first I want to share the importance of goal setting with you.

DO NOT SKIP THIS EXERCISE. DON’T DO IT. Don’t allow yourself to get distracted, or scared, or lazy right now. You cannot skip goal setting in your business.

Without goals, you will go nowhere.

Where you focus your eyes is where you will go— think of a dancer spotting OR when you drive your car. Where your eyes are locked your body automatically follows.

Same with goal setting! When you write them down, they become “official”. In fact, a Harvard Business study showed that those who have goals written down are 10 times more successful than those who do not write their goals down.

WRITING YOUR GOALS DOWN IN CRITICAL. DON’T SKIP THIS. Even though I knowwww you’re thinking, “I’ll keep them in my head— I got it” NOPE. Put your pen to the paper, friend. I’ll give ya 3-5 minutes (aka set your timer!) + then come back here for one more thing we’ll do together, k?

Here’s a little song to get ya in the mood again—

READY, GO!

Friend, I am so so so proud of you for getting this far! Seriously. This is some hard stuff. And sometimes, even painful. I’m honored to walk alongside of you + dream with you. And I really can’t wait until you look back in one year, six months, one WEEK + see the fruit of these seeds you’re planting + tending to. 

We have *one more* thing to take care of today, mmk?

One of the reasons goal setting is SO beneficial (remember that stat above?) is because when we write these down it actually starts momentum deep within us… it gets our feet moving! Like I said earlier, where your eyes are looking, your body will naturally follow. So as you write your goals down, your actions will automatically follow, creating momentum! Of course, you have to choose to put in the work ;) it’s not magic fairy dust! But it is the biggest advantage to have in this business!

Okay so onto that last thing we’re doing together— setting up tasks to make your life a lot easier! These tasks will be the stepping stones that get you to your goals. Little bricks that will build up the home. Actions + steps to check off along the way to your goal!

Now here’s the fun part, you’re going *use your strengths* we talked about up above, and create tasks based on the areas that you’re naturally gifted in!! This should make it fun + easy!!

For example, if you are naturally gifted in/love hosting people + making people feel comfortable during one on one conversations… I’m going to say that when it comes to hitting your goal of selling two kits a month committing to hosting an event in your home 1-2 times a month would be a smart task to set for you!

Or maybe you have a goal of flipping your new leg leader to STAR! And you’re really great at giving words of affirmation + also super organized. Can you meet with that person (in person or via zoom) to chat about their goals, speak life over them, and let them know that you’re running with them?

Orrrrrr maybe you’re naturally creative! Can you take it up a notch + create content to teach or entertain?

You get what I’m saying?! Don’t overthink these. Think of tasks as things you get to add to your daily to-do list! As in, this will be ongoing!! 

Carve out 5-10 minutes now… because you need to start out with some tasks written down right away! But remember to always come back to this + load up your task list. My favorite way to keep track of these is on a note in my phone! I always have it with me to add to + check off. 

Same with your goals— continue to cycle through + adjust as you need to. But always, always, ALWAYS have those goals written down!!

And if you need help remembering your strengths, if you need that truth spoken over you over + over again, I want you right now to write down or make a graphic with your strengths so you can see them ALL THE TIME!

“I am _____(kind)_____”

“I am _______(creative)_____”

‘I am ______ (relatable)______”

PHEW! That was A LOT! But I hope you feel EMPOWERED, EXCITED, and READY to rock + roll! 

I believe in you.

I believe in your dreams.

I believe they’re on your heart for a specific reason.

I believe you are a gifted individual with so much to give this world.

And I believe your gifts will help you get to that goal on your heart!

GO, FRIEND, GO!!!!

Okay. If you’re ready to go the extra mile with this I’m going to *highly* recommend the book The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale. This book rocked my WORLD! Some of his stuff is a bit out there + won’t be for everyone, that’s okay— eat the meat + spit out the bones. Lots + lots of mindset concepts that will blow your mind + change your life for real!

Another thing I encourage you to do is apply our Abundance oil, look at yourself in the mirror, and speak TRUTH over yourself.

I cannot stress how important mindset work is. At first it feels wonky + woo woo. And weird. Why is speaking positively over ourselves weird?!?! Ugh. But it changes EVERYTHING. Speak kindly over yourself, pointing out your gifts + purpose. Just like everything in the world, your words are energy! They have frequency (hey, you know about this + the power of essential oils, right?!) 

Energy impacts things. It changes the environment it’s in. Be intentional about the energy you’re creating (both your thoughts  + words) + watch your environment around you shift!

If you still need a kick in the pants, I made this with you in mind— https://www.instagram.com/reel/CMAkCvcA5cL/?igshid=1l956i1shnu0f

And know that if you ever need someone to give you a little shake + remind you how wonderful you really are, I’m just a message away!
