How to Set Goals that Don’t Scare You

Do you hate setting goals? I used to.

There’s nothing more frustrating in the world that dreaming big and never getting there.

Today, on the Brighter Side, we’re rethinking how we approach setting our goals. It may be counter-intuitive or go against all you know to be true about productivity, but try this out and see if it makes as big a difference for you as it has for me.

There comes a time when you’ve got to chuck what’s keeping your from creating the abundance you really want. It’s time to set some goals that DON”T scare you.

Setting goals is absolutely a part of being successful. If you don’t know what you want, then you certainly can’t create it. Get clarity. Write it down. Make a recording of it and listen to it to remind you everyday of what you are doing and why.

Creating goals, even realistic ones, is great, but if you put them in a drawer and forget about them, they’re useless.

You’ll be rifling through your drawer next year, and smack your head on the desk when you pull them out and realize you completely got off track and went sideways down the rabbit hole of good intentions.

Let’s not let that happen!

Now, it’s time to take action in the comments below and share how you are rethinking your BIG goals. I want to know!

Until next time.

Just for today, trust your gut! Listen to that qu Just for today, trust your gut!  Listen to that quiet voice inside for direction.  If you don't know what path to take in your business or life today, get quite and think of the different options. See how they feel in your body.  You can really tell physically if you just get still for a moment. #trustyourgut #abundance #abundancemindset #lawofattraction #alwaysbrighter

When you work for yourself, it can take a toll on When you work for yourself, it can take a toll on you sometimes!  This weekend, I came down with a virus of sorts and just wanted to push through it.  But I finally decided to just listen to my body and take a break!  You have to take care of yourself... fill your tank back up so you can get back out there and SHINE!!! Xoxo. Gwen #abundance #abundancemindset #creativepreneur #creativelife
I'm the first one to admit that I like to have the I'm the first one to admit that I like to have the best of everything.  But is just perfectionism and fear.  Sometimes, you've just got to start where you are and use what you got!  Better tools will come along when you are ready for them. So if you've been wanting to start a blog or a business, just DO IT.  Go for it.  Use what means you have available and put yourself out there consistently!  If you have any questions, I'm here to support you! Xoxo. Gwen #abundance  #abundancemindset #lawofattraction #creativeentrepreneur #creativepreneur
Do you know what you want? It's taken me a looooo Do you know what you want?  It's taken me a looooong time to really figure it out!  I spent so much of my life waffling back and forth about what I wanted and what I wanted to do.  THAT is never a recipe for success!  Reading The ONE Thing by Gary Keller (@the1thingbook ) I completely changed the way I thought about my business!  I work on ONE thing at a time and give all the power of my hope and faith to it.  When you know what you want (CLARITY) then you can figure out just how to get it!  What's your ONE thing?  Let me know down in the comments below because saying it out loud is the first step to getting it!  Xoxo Gwen. #abundance #abundancemindset #lawofattraction #creativeentrepreneur #creativepreneur
Clarity is KEY... in diamonds, business and in lif Clarity is KEY... in diamonds, business and in life.  Before I did @marieforleo 's B-School, I bounced from idea to idea and project to project.  But I now know how important it is to get clear and know what you want.  It makes all the difference in the world!  When you truly have clarity, your can put the WHOLE POWER of your faith and purpose into it and create something amazing and beautiful.  So, if you don't know exactly what you want, stop right now and get clear.  Don't do anything until you have clarity!!! Now, let me know what your purpose is down below in the comments!

No matter what the external circumstances in our l No matter what the external circumstances in our lives, we have this awesome power to create our own reality!  It's not about putting your head in the sand, but rather seeing your life and "problems" with new eyes. As Creative Entrepreneurs, we are more susceptible to our emotional nature (or at least I am) and it's so important to become the Master of our Thoughts.... a "master mind". So today, try seeing things differently!  Let me know how you're going to do that in the comments down below!  Xoxo Gwen #abundance #abundancemindset #lawofattraction #creativeentrepreneur
This is my daily mantra! A few years back when I This is my daily mantra!  A few years back when I was first doing @marieforleo 's B-School, we had to email like 30 of our closest friends and relatives and ask them what our 3 best qualities were and my Dad surprised me by saying that I was always so persistent. Ever since, I've held on to that knowing that by being persistent, I can create abundance and the life I want.  Join me today in being #persistent! Give me a thumbs up down below so I'll know you're with me!  Xoxo Gwen #abundance #abundancemindset #lawofattraction
Thank God I'm Rich! Last week, as I was doing som Thank God I'm Rich!  Last week, as I was doing some #abundance work, my teacher used this affirmation and now I think about it all the time.  As I seek to grow this business in both heart and profitability, there are times when it feels like an uphill battle.  But saying this phrase daily reminds me that I am indeed, already RICH!  Abundance is all around me.  It's all around you.  All it takes is the awareness of it and that costs absolutely nothing.  Say it with me... Thank God I'm Rich!!! #abundancemindset #alwaysbrighter #lawofattraction
I was born for this and so were you! Heart driven I was born for this and so were you!  Heart driven Creative Entrepreneurs often struggle with truly believing in themselves.  Today, let's claim our birthright and know that all the universe is pulling for us!  Whatever your craft, whatever your calling, go deep within and know that YOU WERE BORN FOR THIS and the world needs what you have to offer.  xoxo.
