AN WORKSHOP How to Make the Right Dreams Come to Life in 2018 #LessHustleMoreGrace with @HilaryRushford
STEP 1 OF 4: Remember Who You Are We begin with you -- the most important part of any journey, dream, list or goal. My approach to building or growing a business always starts with you. No product, team, or strategy will truly work unless it works uniquely for you -- your desires, dreams, lifestyle, mornings, vision for what truly brings you joy. As business owners, being selfish, is being generous. If we try too hard to please our customers, team or coach, we ll eventually burn out and no one wins. Learning about yourself, what s sustainable, inspires you, motivates and demotivates you, is a lifelong journey and one that supports a sustainable business with a peace-filled CEO at the helm. Lovely To Meet Me Hello, my name is! I m a and create. I believe. The soon-to-be-reality version of myself is someone. Favorite colors. Go-to drink. Best meal. Dream place to travel.

In ten years I ll be living in with while my work is, surrounded by. My dream life includes a little and a lot of. My mission is to. My why in the world is. I want to be remembered at 102-years-old by the people I love most as, and those who know me at large as. I want to feel. People I love describe me as. I d love them to describe me as even more. My unique personality is. I declare the truth is and soon I will celebrate that! JANUARY WORKSHOP PAGE 2
STEP 2 OF 4: Release Your Past Before we move into who we re becoming more of, what we want to create in the world... let s shed our baggage, old thoughts... while honoring how far we ve come, how much we ve grown, blossomed, and how we have epicly made ish happen (whether that was more revenue, a baby or shedding 10 pounds). Explore your story through the worksheets below as we release and celebrate how we got here. ANCHOR YOURSELF in a Year Ago Where were you 12 months ago? Physically, emotionally, in your journey?

CELEBRATION & Reflection What were your favorite moments and memories of the past year? What are you most proud of? How did you grow? Where did you see growth? What was a mistake you learned from? What were some of the best decisions you made? What were some of the lowest moments you walked through? What are you still waiting on? Where in your life are you waiting? How are you, really? What have you been chasing? If you stop chasing, how will life change? JANUARY WORKSHOP PAGE 8
CELEBRATION & Reflection What grew, healed; What were the wins, what worked? What got you stuck, tripped up, delayed? How did you make more money [or in less time, energy, expense]? What lessened revenue? What were your wins in hiring, firing, onboarding? What lead to team breakdowns? Who gave you advice, inspiration, community, support? Where was that lacking + what can you do to shift that? What didn t work in the last 1-3 months? What lessons did you learn, what can you change/work on? What did work? How can you take those to the next level? JANUARY WORKSHOP PAGE 9
STEP 3 OF 4: Declare Your 1-3 Year Dreams As we turn toward the future, it s time to focus on where you re headed in the next few years what shifts, declarations and dreams will serve as the wind to pull our sail forward The Path IN 3 YEARS ON A GLORIOUS DAY I LIVE OUT A BEAUTIFUL GOAL & I ENVISION MYSELF Where: Doing what: Wearing: Who s present: What I see: What I smell: The response: How I feel: What happens right after: The best surprise is: The biggest compliment comes from: If I knew it would be this good I would have: The people I really have to thank are: My favorite moment of the day was: The day after I: JANUARY WORKSHOP PAGE 10

STEP 4 OF 4: Delight in Your Next 6 Months Finally, we re ready to craft a purposeful and powerful 2018. One with both space and substance, rest and reward, ambition and ease. Get honest and bold with what you want, and what s stopping you, getting in your way or holding you back. It s time to make your desires reality, or let them go. A Watercolor Vision OF A NEW YEAR What lights you up most to think about in 2018? What do you want to represent, to model, to live out this year? What s an old story you re going to let go of this year? What s your top desire for your relationships? What s getting in the way of that? What s your top aspiration for yourself? How can you take action on that? JANUARY WORKSHOP PAGE 12
What s your #1 goal for your business? What s getting in your way? What are the repeating issues, roadblocks, speed bumps you keep facing? What do you want, and what do you need to get there? DREAM the Impossible DREAM What s your truly, literally implausible, fairytale, futuristic, magical world dream? Now how do we make that your reality? MUSINGS MEANING JANUARY WORKSHOP PAGE 13
2018 GOALS Brainstorm Step 1: Jot down any ideas of business and personal goals you d like to achieve in the next year. Step 2: Next, narrow or prioritize them. Compare two goals and ask yourself if you could only do one now, and the next one had to wait for the following six months or 2019, which would you choose? Or if you could only start one in the next three months, which would you start first? Slash, circle or star as you become clear what your most important goals are. JANUARY WORKSHOP PAGE 14
2018 OVERVIEW GOALS ESSENCE WORDS ROADBLOCKS TO ADDRESS PROFIT PIE DREAM TEAM JANUARY WORKSHOP PAGE 15
GOAL Roadmap I have found it to be so true that what you focus on grows; what gets your attention with intention is what grows to make your life wonderfully better one year from now. Without this final sheet, dreams stay merely dreams. This, is what separates people who talk vs those who do. Do you truly want the life you ve laid out today? Choose it. 6 MONTHS FROM NOW I WILL BE: THIS WILL BRING ME JOY BECAUSE: TO BE EXCELLENT AT THIS I WILL: TO BE ELEGANT IN THIS PURSUIT I WILL: SPECIFIC ACTION STEPS:..... IN 1-3 YEARS I LL BE THANKFUL I DID THIS BECAUSE: JANUARY WORKSHOP PAGE 16
NOW, TAKE ACTION! Revisit your goals monthly. This part is huge. Otherwise we forget and before you know it months have gone by and you aren t where you wanted to be but unclear why. Make small progress on each weekly. Be an Essentialist. Prioritize what matters most; what will truly bring you joy and make you feel more elegant and excellent when you ring in the new year for 2019. There s so much life left in this year! Let s make magic! And, there s so many more years in our journey! So let yourself rest and enjoy along the way, choosing now the life you want, not waiting until next year or beyond.
