September 2020 Goals Review

I went into September with the goal of doing LESS.

I had no idea that it would produce the most successful month I have ever had in my entire life,

Here is a rundown of my September Goals:

1. Do less, to have more impact
   I signed more clients this September than I did in the whole of 2019. Welcome aboard, you incredible people! I'm so excited to work with people on so many different kinds of impossible goals (and I can't wait to share their stories with you!). I had my biggest month EVER. 4x bigger than I have ever created before. That is freaking WILD to me. This is definitely because I focused on the 80/20 rule (80% of your success will come from 20% of your actions). So I decided to stop doing anything that wasn't impactful, and then dial up the 20% that was working. Plus, I managed to work only 4 hour days most days – generally 3 hours of coaching, 1 hour of content creation.

2. Get the most important things done in the morning 
   This seems like obvious advice, but actually DOING it has been a game-changer for me. I've been waking up, creating all my content, and then taking my coaching calls after that. My day has been SO much better, way more relaxed and stress-free. I actually got this idea from Elizabeth Gilbert (writer of Eat Pray Love) who says she wakes up every day at 4am, writes until 9am when she starts to get texts and phone calls, and then she basically just takes baths for the rest of the day. I'm like omg. That sounds like bliss. So I started creating content from the moment I woke up (still in my pajamas) until it is DONE. Then I take calls in late morning/afternoon (and the occasional evening one if time zones don't align for the day).

3. Run 3x a week.
   I did this religiously for the first 3 weeks, and I had the most epic run where I crushed it harder than I ever have before. At some point in the final week of September, I aggravated my shoulder to the point of being in pain all day, so I deliberately decided not to run, to preserve my body. I'm counting this as 3/4 completed.

4. Apply what I learned in my YouTube course to my videos.
   I have been applying what I've been learning, including the MOST important thing I've learned: to research my content a while in advance. It's the worst feeling to have to pump out a YouTube video on spot when I'm not prepared. It doesn't usually go well 

Your turn! Give me a rundown of your September Goals! How did you go? What went well? What will you do differently next month?
