info_outlineI met recently with a group of therapsits and healers who are getting ready to create high quality and life changing courses, workshops and programs.
Each of them has a beautiful and unique glimmer of what they will create and they’ve got so much love for the people they’re creating for.
Each creator has great personal reasons for creating their offerings: preventing their own burnout, making money without more sessions, having an outlet for their creativity, and creating a body of work that can be shared beyond the privacy of therapy sessions.
I talked to them about how to get ready for this big project.
I shared what has worked for me and tons of other people accomplishing self-directed projects. When YOU are the boss of whether you do this thing or not, you need to set yourself up well!
I’m going to share that with you.
Whatever project you’re getting ready for, this is good stuff.
And it is NOT about productivity as usual.
A project is something with a particular start and end point.
For example:
Creating and launching your course for the first time.
Launching a podcast.
Once you’ve launched your course once, you’ve completed that particular project.
Once you’ve launched the first episode of your podcast, you’ve completed that project.
We can each take on only one or two projects at a time, because we’ve got a lot of other things we’re already busy with.
In this episode I talk about how to:
- Question productivity as usual, and and step into sovereignty instead
- Be the boss of your to do list rather than it’s employee
- Make sovereign rather than default choices
- Identify something to quit so you can free up energy
- Identify something to do badly so you can free up energy
- Partner with your nervous system in this project
- Set aside blocks of time for your project
