From overwhelm to empowerment: Insights to revolutionize your relationship with time

Today, let’s dive into a common challenge many of us face: the tendency to say, “I don’t have time.” Have you ever caught yourself in that loop? It’s like a tug-of-war within ourselves. Before we dive into the strategies, I will share a little anecdote from a recent Wisdom Warriors session that perfectly aligns with today’s topic.

During our last *complimentary* group coaching, a participant expressed her desire to break free from the “no time” trap. It struck a chord with me because it highlighted a deeper yearning within her to shed her old skin and step into her true self. It was as if her presence was a divine gift, reminding us all of the importance of reclaiming our time and our essence. So, let’s explore three tangible strategies to help you reclaim your time and align with your true self.

Strategy 1: Create First

In our Wisdom Warriors session, I shared a personal practice I’ve adopted recently: dedicating the first 10 minutes of my day to something creative. For me, it’s coloring. This simple act infuses my morning with joy and sets a positive tone for the day ahead. As I’ve discovered, integrating moments of rest and creativity into our routine isn’t a hindrance to productivity; it’s a catalyst for it.

Strategy 2: Limit Your Work Hours

Ever heard of the four-hour workday concept? It might sound unconventional, but it’s backed by research and the habits of many successful individuals throughout history. By paying attention to our energy levels and limiting our work to four focused hours a day, we can maximize productivity while reclaiming precious time for rest and rejuvenation.

Strategy 3: Redefine Yourself and Live Into It

At the core of reclaiming our time is the process of redefining ourselves. It’s a journey that takes time and self-reflection, but the rewards are immeasurable. If you’re intrigued by the idea of embracing change and stepping into your true potential, I invite you to join me for our upcoming workshop, “Your Bold Breakthrough,” on May 7th. It’s an opportunity to break free from the No Time Trap and finally do  your Great Work without sacrificing what is most important!

As we navigate our journey towards reclaiming our time, remember to be kind to yourself and take things one step at a time. And for those who are ready to dive deeper into this transformative process, you can apply for early access to the most amazing program I offer HERE.

Embracing your quirks: finding strength in your uniqueness

Let’s dive into a common concern I often hear from members of our community: “I know what to do, I just need to do it.” It’s an intriguing statement that highlights the internal struggle many of us face. The solution, I believe, lies in addressing both the practical and emotional aspects of this dilemma. In this article, we’ll explore the emotional side, while our upcoming Wisdom Warriors session on April 1st will focus more on practical steps to overcome obstacles and reflect on the past quarter.

As we embrace the arrival of spring on the calendar, it’s an opportune moment to tackle any emotional barriers holding us back. Over the years, I’ve dedicated myself to understanding and navigating these inner landscapes, continually uncovering insights to share with you. Let me start by sharing something personal: I consider myself a magical being and proudly embrace my “quirks” as the “Green Goddess.” Embracing your uniqueness, especially as an entrepreneur, can be incredibly empowering.

Recently, I faced a decision about business cards, a seemingly mundane task. Despite earlier advice to forgo them, circumstances led me to reconsider. What I received was not just a card- but a message: “Unleash the Magic.” It reminded me of my mission to help others unlock their potential, reinforcing the importance of self-love and acceptance.

So, what’s your immediate need today? As solopreneurs, prioritizing our well-being is essential, even (and especially!) amidst the demands of daily life. Remember, you’re not a bad person for putting yourself first. Each of us is on a unique journey, and honoring ourselves is the first step towards achieving our goals/doing our Great Work.

Consider the case of a community member struggling with deep-seated self-doubt and a craving for external validation. While acknowledgment from others is gratifying, true fulfillment comes from within. By nurturing self-love and authenticity, we can radiate positivity and inspire meaningful change in the world.

So, I invite you to reflect on what lies beneath the surface. Embrace your innermost thoughts with kindness and understanding. This journey of self-discovery is a profound one, paving the way for genuine transformation and impact.

Join me on April 1st for an enriching Wisdom Warriors session, where we’ll delve deeper into these topics. It’s not just another webinar—it’s an opportunity for genuine connection and growth.

Together, let’s ignite the spark within and illuminate the world around us.

See you then!

Achieve your goals with daily consistency practices

As your Green Goddess, I’m here to guide you towards realizing your dreams in every aspect of your life, especially when it comes to your Great Work. 

Big thanks to everyone who participated in the survey about the hurdles they face when envisioning their great work and what they truly desire. Didn’t fill it out yet? PLEASE DO THIS ASAP!

Today, I want to delve into the topic of consistency. Let’s explore how you can supercharge your consistency not just this spring, but well into the future.

As I record this, it’s Tuesday, the 19th, and tonight, at 11:06 PM Eastern Time, we welcome the vernal equinox, ushering in the season of spring. It’s a time for planting seeds, nurturing growth, and embracing new beginnings. On May 7th, I’ll be hosting an empowering workshop – mark your calendars for this transformative event.

For now, let’s focus on the present. Here are three strategies to skyrocket your consistency long before May 7th arrives, helping you prepare for the journey ahead. As the snow melts in New Hampshire, let’s prepare our soil for growth and abundance.

1. Firstly, let go of the “I’m fine” facade and confront your reality. If you’re struggling with consistency, acknowledge it without judgment. Instead, approach it with curiosity. Take the time to tune into your body through practices like yoga or mindfulness to gain clarity.

2. Secondly, prioritize what truly matters to you right from the start of your day. Don’t save your creative endeavors for last. Begin each morning with activities that ignite your creativity, even if it’s just for a brief period. Starting your day on a creative note sets a positive tone for the hours ahead.

3. Lastly, establish a regular practice of revisiting your larger goals. Whether it’s weekly or monthly, take time to reflect on your aspirations. Avoid the pitfall of setting goals once a year and forgetting about them. Consistently reconnecting with your goals keeps them at the forefront of your mind.

These three approaches will propel your consistency forward, ensuring steady progress in the coming months. Keep an eye out for details on the upcoming bold breakthrough workshop – it’s an opportunity you won’t want to miss. And don’t forget about our free Wisdom Warriors event on April 1st, focusing on accountability and planning for quarter two.

I believe in you,

Carol

PS: when you’re ready to dive deeper and take decisive action, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Let’s transform that scattered feeling into unwavering consistency and focused determination. LET’S TALK!

Be like Courageous Carol on her 15th year business anniversary: navigating your path to greatness

Do you ever feel like life’s just a treadmill, running endlessly with no end in sight? You’re not alone. Recently, I had a conversation with someone who resonated deeply with this feeling. Let me paint you a picture of her: she’s the backbone of her family, putting in long hours—sometimes up to 50 a week—she’s resilient, with over three decades of experience under her belt. But here’s the kicker: she’s exhausted. She’s yearning for a break, a chance to pause and reevaluate, to discover what truly ignites her soul.

So today, let’s talk about ‘great work’. What does it even mean, and why is it so crucial? Great Work isn’t just about checking boxes or following a predetermined path to success. It’s about making a conscious decision to break free from the cycle of exhaustion and dissatisfaction. It’s about listening to the whispers of your heart and soul, despite the cacophony of doubts and external pressures.

The first step? Making that decision.

It’s about saying ‘enough’ to the endless grind and ‘yes’ to the possibility of something more. But here’s the thing: you don’t have to have all the answers right away. It’s okay not to know exactly where you’re headed. What matters is taking that leap of faith, trusting that the path will reveal itself in due time.

Next comes discernment. This is where the real magic happens. It’s about tuning into your inner voice, filtering out the noise, and discerning what truly matters to you. It takes courage—a lot of it—to drown out the voices of doubt and fear and embrace your unique calling.

But here’s the truth: your great work isn’t just a lofty dream or a distant fantasy. It’s the essence of who you are, waiting to be unleashed upon the world. It’s about finding that perfect intersection of passion, purpose, and impact.

I remember when I took that leap of faith myself, back in 2009. Fifteen years ago…almost to the day!!! Happy anniversary, me! It wasn’t easy, and it certainly wasn’t without its challenges. But looking back now, I wouldn’t change a thing. Because every step, every stumble, led me closer to my ‘great work’.

So if you’re feeling stuck, if you’re yearning for something more, I urge you to take that first step. Embrace the uncertainty, lean into the discomfort, and trust that the universe has your back. And remember, you’re not alone on this journey. Reach out, seek support, and surround yourself with people who believe in your potential.

In summary, your ‘Great Work’ isn’t just a destination—it’s a journey. It’s about embracing the unknown, trusting the process, and ultimately, stepping into your power. So what are you waiting for? The world is waiting for you to shine your light. Take that first step, and let’s embark on this adventure together.

To your inner knowing,

Carol

From Chaos to Control to Mastery

Let’s banish the notion of “not enough time in the day” once and for all. 

It may sound too good to be true, however, it’s entirely within your control to make it happen. Really. Lately, I’ve been gathering insights from my community, and two recurring themes have emerged: 

• the feeling of not having enough time; 
• and the question “what daily actions should I be taking for maximum impact?” 

With over 15 years of experience in jettisoning people from overwhelmed to dancing with delight in time management, both professionally and as a project manager, I feel like I can truly say what works. So here goes!

What I’ve observed is that mastering time management is both an art and a science, a blend of tactics, strategy, and mindset. It’s about taking ownership of your time and being willing to experiment, learn, and forgive yourself along the way. While I can’t promise a five-minute video will change everything overnight, I can offer some nuggets of wisdom to help you along your journey.

A top performing client of mine said this about organizing the day (NUMBER ONE NUGGET!): “it’s simple, but it’s not easy!” This practice I’m about to describe has totally disrupted his formerly frantic and scattered workday. He now dedicates a few moments at the beginning of each day to get organized. THE GOOD NEWS: While I have proprietary forms for my dedicated clients, YOU DON’T NEED THEM to simply begin. 

1. Write down the top priority that absolutely must get done, no matter what. 
2. Identify the top three tasks that will have the most significant impact on your goals. While you may not accomplish all three every day, having a clear focus can guide your efforts.
3. Now, here’s where things get counterintuitive: make room for white space in your schedule. Many of us fall into the trap of overfilling our calendars with tasks, leading to overwhelm, multitasking, and decreased effectiveness. White space allows for breathing room, creativity, and flexibility in handling the unexpected. It’s not just about taking breaks; it’s about allowing for the unknown and being intentional about how you respond.

In summary, remember: you are the master of your time. 

While there may only be 24 hours in a day, you have the power to decide how to allocate them. Whether it’s setting boundaries, prioritizing self-care, or making choices aligned with your values, the choice is yours. So, as you go about your day, remember that you are in charge, and your time is yours to command. Until next time, take care and stay intentional with your time.

Shifting perspective: Harnessing the power of time and consistency

Today we will delve into the intricate dance of productivity, procrastination, patience, and perspective. Procrastination is a familiar “foe” to us all.  We find ourselves caught in its grip more often than we’d like to admit. Have you ever stopped to ponder why it happens? Often, it’s because we lack clarity. Take, for instance, that specialist doctor’s appointment you’ve been putting off. It’s not that you don’t want to do it; something’s just holding you back. And oftentimes, that something is a lack of clarity about what you truly want. That’s where the free guide on unscatterme.com comes in handy. Download the free resource to unscatter your entrepreneurial life and gain crystal-clear clarity on your goals and aspirations….you may find that you have already done this but perhaps got sidetracked in filling it out. No worries, just start again 🙂

Before we go deeper, are you coming tomorrow to WISDOM WARRIORS to get your butt in gear? Move those lunchtime plans. Nothing is more important than YOU and YOUR progress!

Now, let’s talk about patience and perspective. Picture this: you’re discussing your career aspirations, feeling frustrated about not being where you want to be. Here’s the thing—success often operates on a longer timeline. Instead of fixating on short-term goals, think of the big picture. Give yourself three years to achieve your dreams. It’s not about rushing; it’s about consistent effort over time. Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither are your dreams. Take small, consistent steps, and allow yourself the gift of patience.

And speaking of perspective, it’s all about embracing the journey. Sometimes, the path to success takes unexpected turns. And that’s the beauty of it. Embrace the twists and turns, make tweaks along the way, and watch as your dreams unfold in ways you never imagined. Sounds easy. Not easy. We want it NOW! Right??? Ugh, I get it. The voices in your head may be saying “I can’t wait, I have bills to pay!” “I can’t wait, I don’t want to be a SLACKER!”

GOOD NEWS: You can act right now. Faster results are coming, as early as TOMORROW.

Tomorrow,  March 4th, we’re diving deep into tackling procrastination at Wisdom Warriors, absolutely free. If you’re craving more personalized support to accelerate your progress, reach out to me directly. Whether you’re aiming for rapid results or prefer a longer timeline, there’s a path for you. Let’s navigate this journey together.

In the meantime, soak up that early March sun and relish in the beauty of the present moment. New England in early March truly is a sight to behold. Can’t wait to catch up with you all soon!
