Have you ever felt a persistent nudge and ignored it because it seemed too difficult? That’s exactly what happened to me. It started six months ago, like my grandson’s forgotten basketball rolling around in the back of my trunk. God brought me to this moment, and I almost ignored it. If you’re on the brink of a tough decision and you’re wondering if it’s time to quit, let me offer you some peace. Stop everything, get off the hamster wheel of doing, doing, doing. Focus on what you want to achieve in the next five years. What would accomplishing that look like, and what do you need to quit to make it happen?

One of my favorite business books, 10X is Easier than 2X by Dan Sullivan, emphasizes doing less to achieve more. Zero in on your main calling and perfect it, which often involves quitting. Sullivan warns that committing to the 10X process inevitably requires letting go of your current identity, circumstances, and comfort zone. Going 10X means excelling in one thing rather than doing more of the same just faster and harder, which is unsustainable.

Meet the Lord daily in prayer and search His Word to gain clarity on your calling.

Share your thoughts with trusted friends, a mastermind group, or a coach. My coach helped me immensely.

Writing out your thoughts helps you process and figure out your next steps.

If you’ve felt the nudge for 6-9 months, it’s time to trust your instincts.

Make your decision public and see how it feels.

I made several 10X decisions in November: I quit coaching Instagram, announced a podcast rebrand, attended a retreat, and secured a venue for our September Empty Nest Entrepreneur retreat. I found a writer’s mastermind and committed to pursuing writing and traditional publishing. The book of Daniel inspired me to help guide people wisely. Dan Sullivan encourages us to expand emotionally, living a more committed life even when it’s tough. My grandson verbalizes his emotions clearly – it’s hard, he says. Indeed, change is hard but necessary for growth.

The pivot allows someone else to pick up where you left off. I’m focusing on family and writing books, aligned with my long-term goals. I’ve had to decide what I’m unwilling to give up, realizing that time with family and writing are non-negotiable for me.

If you’re seeking wisdom and community, join our retreat in West Virginia in 2025. Sign up for the waitlist to stay informed and get coaching input in a supportive group setting. Goodbyes are hard, but they leave room for peace and growth.

As we wrap up our last episode in this format, I encourage you to consider what the nudge means for you. What does the master call a butterfly at the end of its world? Until next time, share your message your way, in your own authentic voice.

As an empty nest entrepreneur, setting goals is essential for sustained growth and achievement. But how do you effectively set goals that encompass both short-term wins and long-term aspirations, say, three to five-year goals? And as many of you know, most of our listeners are in the empty nest, meaning we’re fifties, sixties, even seventies. And I want to point out, you may not have heard this, but it’s a well-known statistic that women in their sixties and seventies are just hitting their most productive time of life. These goal setting essentials have helped me in my entrepreneurial journey and I’m sure they can help you too!

Well, today, what I’m about to share with you about goal setting essentials is my personal approach that I have worked out over the last seven or eight years. It works for me. But you don’t have to do everything I say. I just want you to consider and listen. I don’t believe it’s a one-size-fits-all all. You have your personality and your superpower and your skills, strengths, and weaknesses. And so do I, but I would encourage you to try some of these goal setting essentials if you haven’t yet.

A couple of months ago, I hosted a retreat for empty nest entrepreneurs in beautiful Treasure Island, Florida, here in my state. And it was just weeks before the hurricanes hit and flattened our community. Thank the Lord for his perfect timing in protecting the retreat attendees and that we got to do that. I’m all about helping my clients find their next steps for moving forward. Most of them are Christian creatives—authors, speakers, podcasters, coaches. Others are in the product and sales industries like beauty and clothing. Each of the 11 delightful attendees got a turn in the hot seat for a coaching session. Together, we determined their goal for the next 100 days.

What you’re about to hear is one of our follow-up group coaching calls to see how they’re doing on their 100-day goals and answer questions on issues where they’re getting stuck. The really exciting part is hearing the progress and breakthroughs they’re making as they inch toward December 23rd, the 100-day mark.

By the way, would you like help with your big goals? If you’re constantly finding yourself distracted or overwhelmed by all the things and wondering which of the hundreds of tasks to prioritize, you can join my newsletter and retreat waitlist to get information about the 2025 retreat.

Simply click the retreat link in the show notes or head to authenticonlinemarketing.com/retreat. As multigenerational caregivers, we face indecision a lot in this stage of life. We need wisdom, community, and coaching to help us sort the wheat from the chaff. We don’t have time to waste because we’re not getting any younger. I hope you’ll join the waitlist and stay in the loop for valuable resources and tools to move forward and make better decisions.

First up, let’s talk about setting goals. I use the Move Forward Minimal Journal by Krista Hutchins. This simple goal setting essentials tool has been a part of my life for six years. Each day, I write a few sentences about what happened, focusing on both personal and business-related events.

In the middle of the journal, there’s a checkpoint for five-year goals. It prompts you to list three five-year goals and at least one thing you do each month to work toward them. I have written down goals like getting traditionally published, getting on staff at my favorite conference, Speak Up, and toying with the idea of writing a fictional book series based in my hometown of Gulfport, Florida. Every month, I document my progress in little squares. This structure helps me stay aligned with my long-term aspirations while being flexible enough to change if needed.

Another tool that keeps me on track is the Cultivate Planner. I’ve used this yearly planner for the past six years. It helps me stay focused with guided questions at the beginning of the year about what I want to cultivate. You can brainstorm your goals and then narrow them down to yearly goals.

I’ve realized that having too many goals can be overwhelming. Therefore, at most, I recommend having around six goals for the year, with at least one being personal. Monthly and quarterly check-ins help me reassess what’s working and what’s not, allowing me to adjust my focus and keep the most important goals top of mind.

Every month, at the start and end, I review my goals to see what’s working, what isn’t, and what I’m thankful for. This process helps me stay on task. Brenda asked if this helps, and she confirmed that it does. Knowing that every month I review my five-year goals ensures they stay top of mind.

Let’s hear updates from our participants on their 100-day goals. Brenda shared her approach of reverse engineering her book’s writing schedule, with insights from editor Lois Flowers revitalizing her process. Elizabeth has been diligently working on her website, seeing tremendous progress as she aims for a Christmas launch, though she’s flexible with a possible January 1st launch. Melanie has successfully maintained a weekly email schedule, finding that Sunday nights work best.

It’s amazing to see everyone so fired up and moving forward with their goals. The key is cutting out tasks that don’t move you toward your 100-day goal and using tools like the Move Forward Line a Day Journal and the Cultivate Planner to document goals, track progress, reset objectives regularly, along with the other goal setting essentials.

First, know what you want to accomplish in the next three to five years. Take time to pray and assess your goals. Focus on a few things to move you forward toward your big goals. What are your big goals? Check out the Move Forward Line a Day Journal and the Cultivate Planner. Sign up for the next retreat and get your decision prayer guide. Use these goal setting essentials to push forward towards your goals!

Until next time, be sure to share your message your way in your own authentic voice.

The primary goal of your email should be to develop and strengthen your relationship with your audience. Ensure when your email lands in their inbox, they want to open it because they find value in your content.

It’s crucial to keep your brand top of mind by emailing consistently. Don’t be discouraged by “lurkers” — individuals who read but don’t immediately interact. Consistent, valuable emails can turn these readers into loyal customers when the time is right.

Including a call to action and inviting responses in your emails helps foster engagement. Always aim to reply to your readers’ responses to show that you value their input, nurturing a stronger relationship.

Remember, email marketing isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s a journey of discovery and connection. Always offer value to your target audience. Keep experimenting, stay genuine, and your audience will feel that authenticity.

Listen to Ep. 41: What to share in stories

Convert your stories into immersive Reels with ease, finding new audiences and engaging followers in a fresh format.

You can repurpose the story into an infographic or a quote. Perhaps you don’t care for the actual look of the story, so simply repurpose the content as a quote or some kind of graphic.

You can repurpose a collection of stories into a carousel for your feed. The longer people swipe through the carousel, the longer they’ll stay on your feed, and that signals to the algorithm that people are interested in your content.

If someone comments on your Story you could make a Reel based on the message. Or if you want to talk deeper about something in your Stories you could make a Reel about it.

Use your Instagram stories strategically to enhance your highlights, linking your audience directly to your core content. Use highlights for only important content.

Use comments or information you gather from polls, question boxes, or conversations. The more engagement and interaction you get from people, the more content ideas you’ll have.

Use the content in your Stories as captions for another post in your feed.

Use Stories to take pictures and add title text for your Reel covers. Download your story to your phone then use it as the cover for your Reel.

After you’ve posted a story, you can send it to people via the DMs or your broadcast channel. You can also post the link to your story and share it anywhere. Just remember that stories expire after 24 hours!

Expand your reach by repurposing your stories across different platforms like Pinterest and YouTube, maximizing visibility and engagement.

You don’t have time to make fresh content all the time

It’s important to repurpose, repurpose repurpose. As content creators, we want to create. We want to make new things, but we don’t have time for all the things. We just don’t have time to create all the time if we really want to use our time wisely. Instagram Stories only last for 24 hours, but by repurposing Stories your hard work can live on beyond its fleeting lifespan.
