2200 Members

Okay. This is kind of crazy, but we’re at 2200 members in my Impossible Girls Facebook Group. Whaaaat?!

I’m so excited about how quickly this group has grown. I started it on April 1st, 2020.

So in four months, we’re at 2200 members.

Even though I am kind of surprised, this was not an accident.

This was very deliberate.

It was a hustle.

It was a grind.

For the first 12 days, I didn’t have anyone join at all.

Zero people.

I was too afraid to invite people because I thought I wasn’t “ready”.

And in June, when I didn’t invite anyone the whole month because I was focused on other things, we might have got about 10 new members.

This is a massive learning lesson for me:

Facebook groups don’t grow themselves.

Goals don’t hit themselves.

You get to make your goals happen.

Friendship Goals

Behind everything I do, I have the most incredible support team.

My family, my partner, my friends, my coaches.

But there is one person who makes the biggest difference in my life.

My best friend, Georgia.

She was the one who forced me to press publish on my first ever blog post in 2017.

She is the one who risks her safety to get bizarre shots of me for Instagram.

She is the one who helped me write a viral post of 31k likes this week.

And she is the one who I can share anything with, and never feel judged.

You know when people say “I wouldn’t be where I am right now without you”?

That’s an understatement for how I feel about Georgia.

I can’t thank her enough.

My Ideal Schedule

July was super intense with a ton of goals to hit, so in August I’m back into my daily work ethic.

I’ve created myself a plan of what my day looks like as the future ideal version of me, and I’m stepping into that version of me now by living her schedule.

Here’s what that looks like:

• CEO time from 10am to 11am (emails, connecting with my audience, writing my blog)

• Coaching calls from 11am to 3pm

• Growing my audience and connecting with people from 3pm-4pm

• Doing a weekly task 4pm-5pm (e.g. filming, editing, PR, emailing my list, or doing a Livestream)

I’m super excited about this new schedule. I set it up from 10am-5pm so I will actually get a chance to have my evenings off. I realised that although I have been hustling a lot, I haven’t been working very efficiently. So following this ideal schedule is my challenge this month!

What is your ideal schedule?

The Power of Helpful Thinking

It’s really started to dawn on me: positive thinking isn’t the answer – helpful thinking is.

Sometimes a “negative” thought is more helpful than a positive thought.

E.g. FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) can be more motivating than the desire to join in.

For the last few days, I’ve been in conscious awareness of my thoughts, regularly asking myself “Is this thought helpful?”

Helpful thoughts might not guarantee I hit my goals. But they do give me a better chance.

Some helpful thoughts I’ve been having:

• Michael Jordan would do it.

• I’m willing to do whatever it takes.

• I’m ready.

• I can do this.

• I am enough.

• I don’t want to look back and think I didn’t make the most of this opportunity.

• What would my ideal self do?

Whatever you’re struggling with right now, no matter how good or bad it may seem – you can change your thought to be more helpful.

What thoughts are helpful for you to achieve your goals?

July 2020 Goals: Review

This month was crazy. There were so many times throughout it when I didn’t think I was going to hit my goals. But every time I had that thought, I decided to believe that I would instead. I decided to ask myself, "how can I commit to this like I have no choice but to succeed?”

As a result, I hit every single one of my goals. And seriously – there was a point when I didn’t think I was going to hit ANY of them!

1. Continue to put out a video on YouTube every week – and work on creating a better experience for myself while doing it.
   DONE! Initially, I didn’t make this happen. Several weeks had gone by and I hadn’t put out a video. But I refused to get to the end of the month and not have put out 4 videos. So – even though it was last-minute, I compelled myself to put four videos out. Many times I thought “no one cares if I do or don’t get these videos out by the deadline.” But I decided that it matters to me, to my integrity. That I do the things I say I’m going to do.

2. Hit 600 Subscribers on YouTube.
   DONE! I started at 487 at the beginning of the month, and this was by far the goal I got the most creative with. I emailed old friends. I joined YouTube engagement groups on Facebook. I went to the mall and I asked strangers if they were interested in subscribing. I decided I was going to do it, no matter what.

3. Walk/run 3x a week.
   DONE! This one was one of the easiest because I love to go for lovely long walks and listen to podcasts. Easy. Next month to go to the next level with my fitness, I’m going to set pure running goals.

4. Hit 1500 members in my Impossible Girls Facebook Group.
   DONE! This was the most challenging of my goals. On the 27th of July, we were still at 1100. So every morning in the shower, I would hype myself up with a pep talk. Michael Jordan would do it. I can do this. It doesn’t matter how, all that matters is my willingness to do anything to make it happen. And you know what was crazy? Out of that determination came a viral post that gained over 30,000 likes! Over 800 people joined my group. I surpassed 2000 members! The biggest lesson from this is that things can happen last minute – so believe and commit until the last moment.

5. Get my Photography done.
   DONE! I did a photoshoot with the gorgeous @aimeejulesphotography and I can’t wait to share the images with you!

6. Join YT4B.
   DONE! I joined the program! I’m super excited to get into learning all about the YouTube algorithm, SEO and keywords in August.

Look out for my August 2020 Goals to come!
