Are you all in?

Are you all in?
Are you all in? 

In Steven Pressfield's book, he talks about "Turning Pro" - a decision point where you finally commit to going for it, to living and creating your true life's work. Have you got to that point yet? 

Accepting that most of us are still 'amateurs' and a work in progress on that front, the following in the book I found particularly useful as a call to action on the path to elevating mindset, performance and outcomes:

 20 Qualities of a Professional:

✅ 1.     Shows up every day
✅ 2.     Stays on the job all day
✅ 3.     Is committed to the long haul
✅ 4.     Knows that the stakes are high and real 
✅ 5.     Is patient – defers gratification

☑ 6.     Seeks order (defines processes and puts in place effective systems)
☑ 7.     They do not wait for inspiration, they act in anticipation of it.
☑ 8.     Acts in the face of fear
☑ 9.     Accepts no excuses
☑ 10.   Plays it as it lays

✅ 11.   Is prepared
✅ 12.   Does not show off (ie: being ego led)
✅ 13.   Dedicates himself to mastering technique
✅ 14.   Does not hesitate to ask for help
✅ 15.   Does not take failure or success personally

☑ 16.   Does not identify with his or her instrument (what they do and how they perform is outside their self-image)
☑ 17.   Endures adversity
☑ 18.   Self-validates
☑ 19.   Reinvents themselves
☑ 20.   Will not be distracted 

How many of these do you tick off regularly and consistently? 

I've definitely got a few gaps to work on! 

From this list, where would be a good place for you to pay attention to next to elevate your own performance and results?

START EVERY DAY PURPOSEFULLY

Do you consciously set yourself up to succeed each day?

Start every day well, by 
'warming up', exactly like high-performance athletes do. 

Purposely set yourself up for success first thing in the morning, and even throughout the day when you find yourself waning. 

Focus on five:
G – GRATITUDE- Start the day with gratitude, for all you already have and are
 
R - REFLECT on your goals & life vision – reset your aim
 
E - ENERGISE your mind, body & spirit - breathe, fuel, move, connect
 
A - ATTITUDE – consciously choose your approach to the day
 
T – TAKE TIME to plan your day, set your intentions & where you want to invest your attention

It's easy to just jump into the day. To plough into emails and check your socials. Instead, first INVEST 15 mins to prime yourself, to be at your peak. 

High performance starts with mindful planning and preparation, especially focusing on yourself.

Think Differently, Do Differently: Unlock Your True Potential

 
Hello and Welcome!  
I believe that every woman in business deserves the right support to reach her fullest potential. Running your own business is no mean feat, particularly while juggling life and family responsibilities. 
One of the important lessons I have learnt on my own business journey, is that you don't have to do it alone, and in fact, trying to can hold you back. Having support by and on your side makes a huge difference, particularly on the tougher days (and yes, there can be many, no matter how well the business is going!). 
Instead, imagine waking up excited, ready to face the day, without the weight of endless tasks, procrastination, or uncertainty. You’re focused, productive, and steering your business with confidence towards your personal vision of success. You’re the captain of your ship, navigating your path in a way that feels right for you.
Why am I so passionate about this? Let me share a moment from my own journey:
It was a grey day in November, and I remember crossing the car park to work when one of my colleagues spotted me. She smiled and with a simple gesture, indicated that I should lift my head up. At that moment, a realisation came to me - I was weighed down with a sense of dread and disappointment. I had returned to a corporate marketing job after walking away from co-owning a chocolate retail business that I loved. Something was missing though, and I knew it was time to make a change. 
That day, I made a decision. A decision to stop sleepwalking through life and start making more conscious choices about the future I desired for myself and my family. And as fate would have it, the Covid-19 lockdown gave me the time to properly think, study, and plan.
It was a true lightbulb moment. I realised then that running my own business was what I was called to do, and, that through coaching, I could not only do this, but also make a genuine difference for other women who have taken the courageous step of starting their own businesses. Particularly in helping them avoid getting to the heart-breaking situation I did, of having to walk away from something you have invested your heart and soul into. 
Today, as a certified business and life coach, I help women like you face the unique challenges of business ownership. Together, we will create a roadmap tailored to your unique circumstances and ambitions.
Through our coaching sessions, you will gain increased clarity, inspiration, confidence, perspective, and accountability,  empowering you to make bolder decisions and take action that propels your business to new heights.
Don’t let fear or self-doubt hold you back. If you’re ready to break free from the limitations of your current thinking and doing, let’s start this journey together  
You want and deserve more. 
Think differently, Do Differently. Courageously build a business and life you love.
