How finding effective ways to set goals can facilitate the life path you desire.

Rob Kaiser is actively writing another chapter in the book of his life. After a successful career of +20 years in the green industry and corporate America that took him across the country, he’s in the process of executing a plan 10 years in the making – that took him from Southern California, to homesteading and growing a family business with family in Northeast Ohio. In May of 2022, Rob participated in the Great Resignation – leaving his job voluntarily to fully engage in the process of "Doing Work You Love."

When you're the "everything" person, as so many of us are, as solo-preneurs, it can be super difficult to think of only having ONE goal.

What works well for me is to think of it as a pyramid, with the ONE BIG GOAL of the impact you want to have, or life you want to live, at the top. That goal needs to rest on a solid foundation, with each level below it slightly larger and expanding outward. There may be layers and levels that don't seem to be DIRECTLY tied into the goal, but as an element of what you want in life it can still be pertinent to what you're building. 

I know it can be hard to FOCUS on one single aspect or element of the pyramid you're building, and ultimately only you can decide what you want in your life. Just remember, you'll move faster if you focus on one foundational block at a time, rather than building multiple blocks at once. That's not to say you need to drop everything to focus on your food systems, or podcast, etc. But to give the appropriate time to what's necessary, and then to laser focus on the one building block until it's running smoothly, then add the next block.

I hope that helps you out as you decipher what to focus your attention on.

There is a book titled Five Frogs on a Log. The essence of the book is this:  Five frogs were sitting on a log. Four decided to jump off. How many were left? And it goes on to suggest that there were still five frogs on the log.

The point is that there is a difference between deciding and doing.

If you're in the process of setting your goals for the new year or you've already got them set, I want to invite you to this FREE Masterclass with my friend and mentor Dan Miller, author of the New York Times Bestseller 48 Days To the Work and Life You Love.

It's called, "Goals ... And Then What?"

It's scheduled for 2 PM CT on Monday, November 14, 2022.

The truth is, the process of goal ACHIEVING isn't so cut and dry. It's not just about setting the goals or creating yourself a to-do list for the new year that you check off as you go. 

It's more about setting the intention for your future, getting in the right mindset, establishing the right accountability and finding the support you need to make your goals a reality.

Dan is going to unpack this part of the process in this Masterclass.

You’re invited to join us. Get the details here.

You can also download Dan Miller's Goal Setting Workbook here if you haven’t already

I look forward to seeing you there!

From the road:

Quit waiting on "your ship to come in".

You're on the doggone ship, be the captain and steer it to where you want it to go.

Lexi says:

By focusing our attention on what nurtures and sustains us in life. On everything that brings you even the smallest amount of pleasure. It also means practicing gratitude by noticing these everyday things that you take for granted so easily. And it makes the storm small and easier to find your way out.

Being Uncomfortable Is a Part of Achieving Your Dreams

Many aspects of pushing forward towards success involve getting out of your comfort zone. Your whole life, you may have very well been somewhat sheltered, or have gotten used to just rolling with the punches as they came to you.

This kind of mindset doesn’t work so well for being successful, and changing the things that you’ve known your whole life can be a scary jump to make. However, everyone goes through it at some point.

Being uncomfortable may seem like a bad thing, but there are positive aspects to it. When you’re nervous, it means that you know you’re doing something that you wouldn’t normally do.

This is a step forward - you doing something out of character - and knowing this means progress is being made. You’re no longer stuck in that same rut - you’re changing things up.

You should know that going into your journey to success, you’ll face a lot of adversity and struggles. There will be times when you’re upset, feeling stuck, feeling uncertain, and all kinds of things.

However, those negative feelings are greatly outweighed by the feeling of accomplishment you get when you start to reach your goals. Eventually, you can learn to embrace the nervousness and the worries that come with taking on something unfamiliar.

Even if you have to put on a smile at first, you’ll soon find yourself loving being in new situations with tons of opportunities to do something that will help you succeed. You’ll finally be breaking up the monotony of everyday life with new, refreshing experiences.

There are many people that claim that nothing worth having comes easily, and the same can be said for your path to success. You’re trying to retake your life and change it all up for the better.

This is a daunting task, because you’ve spent so much time in your old, unfulfilling life that you don’t know whether or not you’ll succeed in this new mindset and lifestyle. However, it’s much better to have at least tried.

Even if you were to fail to become successful with a new strategy, you’ll be able to sleep easily knowing that you did give it your all. If not, you’ll end up with regrets later in life about not having tried. On the other hand, you might end up successful after all, and you’ll finally be able to live that life you’ve always dreamed of.

Ariel, along with her husband Clay, their dogs, cats, bees, and poultry, lives in a tiny house on wheels in the mountains of western Wyoming and they are working on setting up their own new little homestead. She's been living this lifestyle since 2014 and her wonderful partner has joined her more recently. They collect and split wood for heat, source water from a gravity feed out of a natural spring, use a composting toilet, have a small solar setup, and attempt to grow, hunt, or forage as much of their own food as possible between the weather and wildlife. Living a little over 6000 feet above sea level tucked into the mountains means it's a somewhat harsh and cold climate with snow on the ground 8+ months a year and potential frost, freezes, and even snow flurries all summer long. Ariel loves to garden, cook, can/freeze/ferment/dehydrate food, hike and backpack in the mountains, and photograph the tame and wild animals she is surrounded by. And share the skills she has learned with others.
