You want to host vision board parties, but have you actually DONE anything about it?
If the answer’s ‘no’, the next question is:
‘Do you believe yourself when you say you’re going to do something?’
Be very honest, and take time with it, because the secret to your success lies in the difference between ‘yes’ and ‘no’.
For all those who whispered ‘no’, I’ve been there, you are SO not alone.
That’s why I’m going to share the MINDSET SHIFT that took me from ‘thinking’ about a vision board workshop to actually ‘doing’ it.
Before I let you in on the 4-step process, here’s a little context.
If you don’t believe, you won’t succeed
Years ago, while working as a waitress, freelancer, and babysitter, I set up a card-making business on Etsy.
I ordered a bunch of stuff, hired someone to make a logo, bought all the tools, did one card-making workshop, and spent $400.
“Wow, how many cards did you sell?”
ZERO (although I made half of a really good card at the workshop).
With all my other jobs, I had no real time to invest in a new business.
Flash forward to Thrive Lounge.
I went BIG on creating systems, processes, and schedules that would make sure I had time to invest in Thrive Lounge.
I showed up before work every day like clockwork and was able to concentrate on my Blog and book and set up my course.
Then I blocked out Sundays to create videos and content.
Now I have multiple courses, support my students, and host events.
The BIG difference?
I believed I had a story to share, that I was meant to create vision board workshops, and they are needed in this world.
And I BELIEVED MYSELF when I said it.
If you want to host vision board parties (or set up any kind of business), and truly BELIEVE you are going to make it happen, here are the 4 priorities to keep the momentum going.
Believe what you tell yourself
To host a successful workshop, you’ve got to show up confident.
This confidence needs to be built up from day one.
You have to believe that you already ARE that successful host, act accordingly, ‘walk the walk’ and ‘talk the talk’.
People have to feel that confident energy coming off you and BELIEVE in what you are doing, whether it’s on social media, when reaching out to your audience to attend events, or hiring speakers.
Once you believe, move on to the next step.
Master your mindset
Fears are inevitably going to creep in, make you question yourself, and try to break that confidence you’re building.
“Can I actually do it, will people pay this much, what if no one comes?”
Close the door on these fears and throw away the key.
It is YOUR time to shine, and fear has no business being there.
But what if an event that flops?
You stand tall and bank that teachable moment for what NOT to do next time around.
Master your mindset to believe you’ve got this, and no matter what gets thrown at you, or if fear manages to squeeze out from under the door, you know you’ll get through it.
Take the actions that matter
When you believe yourself, stay out of the failure mind traps, you’re going to show up like you’re already that success.
Now it’s time to capitalize on your mindset and take ACTION.
What are the things that ‘Successful You’ do?
THIS is what you need to be focusing on, whether it’s social media, emails, blogs, podcasts, or videos.
The most important thing is to make sure these actions MATTER and are the stepping stones to vision board party success.
Be consistent and show up for yourself
Consistency means showing up day after day after day.
Even if there’s a setback or a bad day, the next time the sun comes up you’re at it again, no excuses.
No matter what the adverts say, you don’t get 10k followers overnight!
Growing an audience and community takes strategy, time, effort, and consistent quality content.
People need time to get to know you, trust in you and what you’re selling before they are willing to hand over their credit cards.
If someone’s going to come to your vision board workshop, they need to know they can count on you before, during, and after.
To be and stay successful, you’ve got to be consistent for the business and your audience.
Success is in reach, take action today
Every day that you wake up and do the work, you’re ‘voting’ for the person you want to be.
The more that you do it, the more you become that person, and you’re showing up as a success and your dreams are becoming a reality.
Believe in yourself, master your mindset, take the actions that matter, and be consistent.
You’re literally creating your future and it all starts with YOU believing you.
