🟤 Embrace Ease Fridays — January 19, 2024


Embrace Ease Fridays

Hey there,

Almost a month down, and the fire to make this YOUR year is burning just as bright, right? I can feel it!

From both personal and professional experience, it's one thing to choose which goals you want to achieve, but it's an entirely different story about how we make sure we'll be able to tick those goals off our checklist!

So, how do we make sure we are indeed propelled closer to those goals? Where do we start? How do we snag the treasure that's truly ours?

Now, take a deep breath with me and reimagine the way you set goals.

Last time, we talked about aiming to create SMART-er goals, and I wanted to talk more about how we can do just that for you. Let's start SMART:

  • Chart Your Course: Forget the one-size-fits-all approach. What lights you up? Which skills do you want to explore? Jot down your desires, your dreams, your deepest “heck yeahs!”
  • SMARTen Up: Once you have your list, it’s time to refine them into SMART goals. Yes, that's right: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound, so you can keep focused and on track.
  • Break it Down, Brick by Brick: Okay, let's pause. Try not to get overwhelmed. Now, divide your goals into smaller, actionable steps. Think bite-sized pieces of your favorite cake, not the whole thing in one sitting.
  • Embrace the Process: Take it all in and enjoy—the learning, the stumbles, the unexpected detours. They’re all part of every beautiful and truly legit success.
  • Don’t Be Afraid to Adjust: Of course, now and then, life throws curveballs, and that’s alright! Be flexible and don’t be afraid to course-correct. Sometimes, the best views come from the detours.
  • Remember, You’ve Got This: Yes, YOU are capable of amazing things. Believe in yourself, trust your instincts, and never give up on your dreams. The world needs your unique light, so go shine it bright!
  • It's OK to SOS: The superhuman that you are also super deserve personal time for whatever it is that makes you still YOU. That's why you need the right tools that will keep your business growing while you get that long overdue and well-earned weeklong getaway!

And while you're at it, don't forget to savor and embrace ease while your in this business. I'd also want to share the tools that have helped me scale my business:

The Art of Rest:

Faith to Hit Pause in a World that Never Stops

by Adam Mabry

I'm reading this book because I don't do rest. I do do. If I can learn to stop, so can you. And if I need to learn to stop, then so do you because God taught me how to rest.

Anything Goes!

Did you know when my husband and I started our company All Out Virtual LLC?

During the pandemic! Not the most ideal time but I'm so grateful to my Co-Founder husband and team for weathering that storm with me. Couldn't have done it without them.

Also...as you may have know from one of our previous newsletters, I've been cooking up this something for awhile now...and I wanted to ask, what do you think about this podcast artwork?

I would love to get a feedback from you. :)


'Til next Friday...

XO,

Hi Reader, It's Christy again, and I just wanted to drop by and give a simple ✨thank you✨ for everything you do! I'm pretty sure, like me, you've probably been sooo relentlessly busy, too—too busy, in fact, in doing everything and giving all your best to empower others with what you do. Of course, nobody's complaining, but it is also undeniable that sometimes, everything just feels overwhelming, too. If you know me, you'd know how I'm on this constant quest to embrace ease in every aspect,...

Embrace Ease Fridays Hi Reader, This week, I want to talk about something that resonates deeply with me, both as a CEO and a mom: balance. We all juggle a million things, and in this business, the pursuit of efficiency is constant and continuous. Lately, the conversation around Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been fascinating. It's undeniably changing the business landscape, automating our tasks and streamlining a lot of processes. As a busy leader + momma, who wouldn't embrace tools that...

Embrace Ease Fridays Hi Reader, To be completely honest, I wondered if the role of a leader was truly meant for me. I didn't know I would be able to do it, let alone wing it. lol But one of the biggest blessings of the digital marketing industry is being able to partner with diverse, amazing leaders in various fields of expertise. That, and my decade-long experience ultimately gave me the courage to realize this lightbulb moment: that OMG, yes— You can definitely build your own brand of...
