Books I Want To Read

I thought about doing a book review today, but I realised I’m not feeling especially inspired by one particular book at the moment – what I really want is to read more amazing books.

So here’s a list of all the books I’m SO keen to read (and WILL read) in the future:

1. Grant Cardone – The 10X Rule

2. Derek Sivers – Your Music & People

3. Stacey Boehman – The Consultation Code

4. Russell Brunson – Traffic Secrets

5. Gretchen Rubin – Happier at Home

How to Get the Most Out of Coaching

One of the questions I’ve been asking myself is how I can get the most out of working with my coach.

And recently I’ve realized the key is to go beyond doing what they say.

Yes, do what they say – but also, do what they do.

They won’t tell you this part. They won’t mention the things that are just so obvious to them. What time they get up, what beliefs they hold, what mindset they’re working on.

I’ve been working on actually reading the books my coach recommends.
Following her coaches.
Asking myself, “what would my coach do in this situation?”

My coach/mentor Stacey Boehman is phenomenal. And I will do anything she says.

She personally told me to stop focusing on my membership site until I have fully booked out my one-on-one coaching.

So in May, I stopped offering my Impossible Incubator membership (maybe one day it will come back – but not yet).

I will do whatever she says. I will read whatever she reads. I will do whatever she does.

I’m working on squeezing every last drop of goodness out of working with my coach. Because I know that is the way to uplevel like crazy.

Sacrifice

Yesterday I got invited to do something impossible: canoe across Canada.

• 7000 Kilometres.

• 5 months.

• 4 people.

• 2 canoes.

• Filming a documentary.

How epic would that actually be?! Can you imagine how hard I would have to push myself? The feeling of completing something that far out of my comfort zone would be amazing.

I almost said yes. I mean, come on. Canoeing across Canada would be epic, and definitely give me some street cred. The FOMO is real.

But you know what the real fear of missing out is?

The fear of missing out on the goals I have already set for myself.

I would have to put my own impossible goals on the back burner.

And I committed to my goals no matter what.

✅ Climb Kilimanjaro

✅ Meditate daily for 365 days

✅ Become my own boss

➡️ 100 push ups (50 currently)

➡️ 100k on YouTube (500 currently)

➡️ TED talk

➡️ Run a tropical retreat

➡️ Blog for 730 days in a row

➡️ Do a breakdancing Windmill (I can do half)

➡️ Build a million dollar business

➡️ Start a video interview series

So while the canoeing team meet today to plan their adventure, I took tiny action towards my impossible list.

Because my goals are non-negotiable.

I hit 500 YouTube Subscribers!

One of my Impossible Goals is to hit 100k on Youtube, and I just hit 500 today, woohoo! 

Only 200x that and I'm at my goal. I can do that, right?

What result do I want?

• 100k on YouTube

Who do I need to BE to get that result?

• The most valuable content creator ever

Now that I am the most valuable content creator ever, what do I do?

• I constantly ask myself, "How could I add more value?" and "How can I add more value than anyone else?"

• I spend time understanding the YouTube algorithm

• I join YouTube courses to improve my content

• I listen to the feedback I get from viewers & really listen

• I think outside the box and come up with creative ways to get more viewers & subscribers

• I post videos CONSISTENTLY every week, sometimes twice or three times a week

Facebook Friends IRL

This is Nicole.

She’s one of my most favourite people in the entire world.

I found her in a Facebook Group two years ago.

Not my own Facebook Group.

Just a totally random one.

Now we talk on the phone or by text almost every day.

Today, we met for the third time in person.

She’s a soul coach.

She’s amazing.

Connect with her here.

We Hit 1000!

Woohoo! After 3.5 months, we hit 1000 members in my Impossible Girls Facebook Group! I’m so excited and incredibly grateful for the community that we girls have built together.

Every single day, I connect with like-minded, motivated women, going after their goals and dreams with massive strength. Some of the conversations that happen in this group are WILDLY motivating. We’re solving each other’s challenges, sharing our wins, and standing strong together when things are tough.

I couldn’t be prouder of this amazing community.

10,000, we’re coming for you.

The Next Adventure

I’m currently in the process of moving from New Plymouth (where I was staying during quarantine) to Nelson (where my family are). We will likely only be staying for a few months, but it’s still a totally bizarre feeling to be moving again.

Only 4 months ago I packed up my life in England and moved back to New Zealand.

And in that time, so much has changed:

• My business officially went full-time (I’ve been location independent for a long time, but I’m no longer doing anything for anyone else, like any freelancing).

• I signed 6 new clients.

• I experienced New Zealand “winter” again (there are parts of NZ that are certainly cold and snowy, but the parts I’ve been in have been so mild compared with England, and I LOVE it).

• I started my Facebook Group, Impossible Girls, and grew it to 996 members (as of today).

• I lived in hardcore quarantine for two weeks, having my meals slipped under the door, and then after that, isolation with our house bubble for many more weeks.

• I got a puppy called Alfie (okay, fine, she’s not technically my puppy but I got to live with her for 3 weeks so that counts, right?).

I love to see my life as a series of adventures. Living in Nelson will be the next one. And then, who knows? Maybe Wellington? Maybe van life? Maybe something totally unexpected. But it is an adventure, and I’m excited to see what it brings (and what I decide to bring to it!).

Why You Don't Need Millions (or even hundreds) of Followers

I was on the phone to one of my close friends, and fellow high performance coach, Lukas Kramer, today when he blew my mind.

He told me his latest YouTube video only had three views after 5 days.

But one of those views was from Damon Willis, the man that Brendon Burchard introduced onto his stage as “the best salesman for coaching in the world with over half a BILLION dollars in sales under his belt.”

I know this is true because Damon sent Lukas’ mentor an image of him watching it.

So while Lukas doesn’t have millions of followers, the people who are in his network are high caliber, highly influential people. Lukas has mastered the art creating relationships. His videos don’t go out to millions of people. But they get to the right people.

What if instead of worrying about the quantity of followers, we started worrying about the quality?

Why get millions of views when one view from the right person can change everything?

How to Generate Solutions to Any Problem

You already have the power to generate solutions to all of your problems.

I have to remind myself of this all the time.

My favourite way to generate solutions is what I call an Epiphany List:

You write a list of 10 creative ways you could create the result you want.

And you don’t stop until you reach 10.

Because after 2 or 3 ways your logical brain will run out of ideas, and your creative brain is forced to kick in. And that’s when the epiphany happens.

The list was mine today. I want to level up the content on my YouTube channel and I currently don’t have the skills to execute my vision.

This list gave me several epiphanies.

Summer videography internship, anyone?
