"People set these crazy plans and approaches and targets they can never meet because: over-egging your plan and setting crazy targets is a form of sabotage - it gives you the ultimate out."

New video now live - Getting it finished: 5 softer approaches for getting your important work done.

The secret to success is 49% action and 99% 'YOU' - shh, that adds up scientifically - and the capacity you have to do three things:

• Try things when there's no guarantee it will work;
• Put yourself out there and risk failure; and,
• Feel like an imposter and turning up anyway.

Even when you create the time and resolve to take action and do the important work, it's still your mindset that will allow it or block it.

What if someone judges how I look on camera?

What if it isn't good enough and no-one buys it?

What if it only gets five likes and then everyone thinks I'm silly for posting?

There are two types of work us lot need to do.

The first type of work is output related. Show me your chapter outline. Give me a one pager on your new programme idea. Let's see your first video cut.

That's physical output - stuff other people can see, buy, use and share. That makes sense right?

The second type of work is all internal.

It's feeling vulnerable about posting a video, recognising that story started as a child for you, and supporting yourself to show up in a way that feels safe to you over time. It's a process, it's not an outcome.

It's knowing you have a habit of giving away all of your money because you think that's what it takes to receive love, and working hard to spot it when you do it, sit in the discomfort of deciding to keep your money and doing the work to change your story about your own worthiness. It's a process, it's not an outcome.

It's recognising you tend to say yes to everyone else and your dreams have ended up one week down the list, one year down the list, one decade down the list and now you're working through the guilt you feel just for taking some time to work on yourself. It's a process, it's not an outcome.

THAT'S THE WORK ISN'T IT?

When people say to me things like "Lisa, I'm struggling to post because I feel like an imposter", there is often a full stop there. But the sentence can't stop there. There must be an exploration of where this comes from, what benefits it's giving you now, and how you plan to work through this.

All the while, there is mounting pressure to post, to create, to finish and so you heap tonnes of guilt on top of the fact you're struggling to get things done.

I know, because I feel it too. That second example above - the money / love one - that [has been] me [in the past]!

So we need something else, don't we?

It's taken me a long time to learn what it really takes to change your life and get projects over the line. Sometimes it is MASSIVE, high energy, physical action, it's true. Sometimes, you do just wake up, shut down a business, move to Manchester and finish the book ;-)

And sometimes it's SLOW, gentle, bumpy action that includes reading books about trauma, spotting patterns over years of cycles, going to therapy to work things out, and creating safe places to create.

In this video, I'd like to look at this slower, gentler energy and give you five different strategies you can explore for making progress on your real dreams. Safely. Creatively. For the longterm outcome not the short term fix.

Spoiler alert: I'm not letting you off the hook today. I'm saying that there are two types of work - the output and the mindset. This video says 'here's how to finish the output, by focusing on the mindset work'.

Dive in. You're ready for more.

How to change your life in 2023 using subconscious reprogramming, value shifts and environmental changes.

If you want to truly change your life in 2023, you cannot JUST 'speak it into existence' or 'write it down and let it go'.

That requires a level of belief that most people don't yet have. But fear not! You can build it!

There are four key things you need to do to change your life, including changing the way you speak to yourself and the environment you're in.

In this final episode in this three part mini series on how to change your life in 2023, I'm going to show you HOW to build that belief in yourself, how your environment can trigger change, and how to think about vision vs. goals to make your dream life your new reality.

Press play for more.

#purpose #uncoveryourpurpose #lifepurpose

In this episode, I'm going to show you how to uncover your purpose, link it to your vision in life and do the one true action that will help you live a life of purpose. No more hiding. No more delay.

Each and every single one of us has a unique purpose on this planet. FACTS. In basic terms, it's to become the fullest expression of yourself. To show yourself. To be of value. To use yourself up. Most of us just aren't doing this with our life purpose. We're hiding. Shrinking back. Ignoring 'the call' and that's a problem.

Your unique purpose in life sits deep in your heart and your soul. It doesn't show itself under pressure and strain. Like Palmer J. Parker said in Let Your Life Speak - your purpose is like a tiger in the jungle. Wild, but shy. To find it, you can't go storming into the tress. You have to sit quietly under the base of a tree and wait for it to show.

So here are the two things you have to accept about finding your purpose in life:

#1 You can't charge towards your purpose. It comes from within. You listen to it. You trust it. You take action in faith, and in doing do, you charge towards your vision! Your purpose begins as a whisper and the more you listen, the louder it speaks.

#2 The second thing you have to accept about purpose is that you were given gifts to help you live out your purpose. The likelihood is, you think those gifts are normal, like everyone has them. And so you use them, you don't leverage them. And if you're not using them, you're wasting them.

In this video, I'm going to share with you three simple but powerful questions to help you uncover your purpose, strengthen your connection to that purpose and take bold steps to live a life of deeper purpose.

I'm a business coach, yup. BUT: Without a crazy, bold belief in myself, and without installing that belief in my clients, we'd be nowhere. NOWHERE.

In this episode, I'm attempting to summarise the three biggest things I've learnt about belief, self-belief, and how you get the results you want through subconscious reprogramming.

I want to show you how subconscious beliefs are formed. Why we have them. And give you three steps for reprogramming them for good. Honestly? It's not as big a deal as it sounds.

80% of the battle is being willing to let go of the comfort of who you were to embrace who you know you can be.

And the other 20% is consistency around three simple things, which I'm sharing with you in the video. Dig in, this one is worth it...

#changeyourlife #subconsciousmind #subconsciousreprogramming

Yesterday, I recorded the start of a new podcast ten times. I am not exaggerating or rounding up for smartness. I even paused after six attempts, had a tea break and tried again. I was committed to producing a podcast episode.

The theme I'd selected was based on a training I'd delivered a week earlier for my business community: How to build a six figure online marketing funnel.

The training was fire! Fast paced. Challenging. A direct call to arms to be useful, to work hard, to focus on client results at every step of the funnel. But it just didn't translate to a podcast for a wider audience. Something that felt really poignant and topical for one audience became cliche and general for another.

Without considering why that was the case, I called my dad and said "Dad, I'm not working today - do you want to go and surprise mum at work?". He was a yes. I told him I'd be leaving in an hour. I just had to walk the dogs and send some client emails first.

Deciding to walk away from the episode gave me something. Freedom? Space? It let me off the hook! It meant I didn't have to produce something practical or functional. I didn't have to 'tick the box' of marketing that day. It just wasn't happening. I'd tried.

Somewhat ironically, then, I found myself reaching for my iPhone, whilst looping the field, to record the introduction of the podcast I wasn't making. It felt fun, light, in flow. I recorded myself calling back the dogs. I recorded myself clipping them in. And that's when I realised what was bothering me.

Content for the sake of content demotivates me. I can't produce something for the sake of it. I don't like to and I don't want to. And I don't have to.

When I think of what inspires me, what really gets me flowing, it's the opportunity to create something new and different that will make people smile and ask 'how did she do that?'. I don't want to be a follower, of a pattern or a style or a formula. I want to be a leader, a creator, an original.

With that idea in mind, I recorded my thoughts (and the rest of my day) on my iPhone, sharing the concept of 'being useful'. Today's podcast episode is the result of that work. We explore the importance of being truly useful in a world filled with more and more content. We look at the catalytic effect of desire in making the world a better place for the people you can help. And I challenge you to produce something meaningful for your business today, instead of ticking yet another item off the list.

I hope you enjoy.

I know one thing for sure: You will make it if you keep going. In today's new extended episode, I'm going to share with you four key things to prioritise in tough times to ENSURE you keep going towards your goal.

Here's the Thought Leadership free 40-page guide I mentioned: https://lisa-bean.com/tl/

And here's a link to the upcoming paid workshop on developing your unique Thought Leadership https://lisa-bean.com/tl/workshop/

This episode will change your life if you take action on these four things.

For example: Stop focusing on the external environment around you - stop waiting for stability and certainty to return externally (it ain't coming!) and instead focus on creating a stable footing underneath yourself so you can feel motivated and do the work that matters.

I believe we all have a purpose and that purpose is to be the fullest expression of ourselves. It's to use our gifts to do our job, and help people live better lives in the process.

But we can't do this if we're waiting for things to settle down or return to normal.

Today, I want to encourage you (rather directly!) to re-take control of your future, do the work to create a stable footing underneath yourself, and take action to change your life and the life of the people around you.

Content creation is hard work. Building a business is hard work. Changing your life is hard work. And that's okay!

It's okay for this to take time and feel 'hard'.

Don't focus on that.

Instead, focus on doing work you enjoy, getting better & better, and helping thousands of other people in the process.

You know how I feel about results. You don't just get what you ask for; you get what you are!

Action with positive intent leads to results.

You've got to Be The Person (TM) who does the thing!

I want my clients and my community to put in the hours.

I want my clients and my community to work hard.

I want my clients and my community to push themselves and grow.

And what's wrong with that?

My message this week? Lean in. Turn up. Put in the hours. Be the leader we need.
