How are you? So at the time this episode goes out, we're like pretty much nearing the end of November, which man is scary. Like doesn't time just go so fast.But I am one of those people that loves a new year, loves a fresh start, loves to review everything, always was. I really loved a new school year. I just love the stationary. Like start a new notebooks. Let you know when you're trying to your best handwriting and you think there's nobody that's going to be really neat.And then you start writing a few pages in and it's an absolute disgrace. Anyway, a little insight it's very old there. So yeah, I, I do really like a new year. I'm really like kind of fresh start on things. So this time of year is a really good one for me because I start reviewing everything and thinking about what do I want to achieve next year?And that's what I want to talk about today. I want to talk about goal setting and some of the varying school of thoughts, some of the kind of do's and don'ts or how I find it. And my experience. Some of the things that people get wrong when they goal set and why things perhaps don't come to fruition the way that they'd like it to.So basically, like I said, this time of year, this is when I start looking at what have I achieved this year. And sometimes that can be pretty triggering. Like you might sit there and think when I review the beginning of the year, I'm just going to beat myself around the head for all the things that I didn't do last year.When I think about what have I achieved in 2020? Like I'm just going to basically be angry at myself or frustrated with myself. And that's not the reason we review never, ever is. So the reason you review and look back is because often you can't think of what you've done in a whole 12 months. And we forget our achievements so very flipping quickly, like we do something and then we move on to the next thing. And two weeks later we've forgotten that we achieved it. So sometimes purposely sitting there and looking back is really, really important. So that's definitely something I do first. That is like the first thing I do.Obviously, like I said, I see what I can learn from it. I don't beat myself up about it. And I try and find the achievements in my year, whether I feel that there are any or not. The other thing I do is, and I did this exercise with the academy literally days ago, where we looked at how to become the CEO in your business and how you could.And I'm always a bit funny saying stuff like that. Cause it always sounds a little bit like the kind of marketing speak I don't like, but it is about the fact of like, I talked to us a while back. It's like, when you say I'm not going to buy nice clothes until I lose weight. So what, you're happy to look an absolute state until then.And what do you think is going to change when you lose weight? You think it's going to make you feel better and you think you'll look better and therefore you'll want to wear nice clothes and therefore you'll do it then. But why not make that change now? And it's the same with your business. So I asked my members, what would they do if they were, if they saw themselves as the CEO of the business that they dream of, what would they be doing?And for me, and some of the others have the same example, it would be like, really need to get control of the finances. Like, I would know exactly what was coming in, going out how it works, like, cause I'm just, that's the one bet I buried my head. And it's like, so do you think if suddenly my business blew up tomorrow and was 2, 3, 10 times the size it is today that miraculously I will wake up and suddenly be able to know how to do all of the finance stuff?No, of course I won't. So I need to do that now. I need to learn that now in readiness for that. So it's, like I said, it's like putting things off until the day that the thing happens, but the truth is. It won't change it. I still be rubbish at finance stuff. Even whether I earn 10 times what we are now.So I need to start making those changes now. So like I said, that's, that's kinda my thoughts when it comes to kind of looking at the year, deciding how, when, and not beating myself up about it. So then let's talk about kind of goal setting and looking at next year. Now, the reason I bought this episode a couple of reasons, so first off I am doing a one-off goal setting, planning and mastermind workshop. It's a four-hour workshop with me. It's live it's on zoom. I will be walking you through the workshop. This is something that I do in my academy and with my students. And I am giving everyone the opportunity to come and join me to do this. And the reason I'm doing it is because when I goal set, I have people I go to to help me do that.So I was very lucky a couple of years back that I was able to spend some time in Nashville in December. I'm going to Nashville again this December. And I did my goal setting while I was in Nashville with Mary and Michael Hyatt and Megan Hyatt, some other amazing entrepreneurs. And it's super helpful. Because not only did I absolutely carve out that space to goal set and to think about the year and think about what I want and how that might look and make a plan. But I did it in the presence of other people who were doing the same thing, and it's amazing that, and one of the things I'm going to do is I'm going to the workshop is very much designed for us all to have a conversation.So I will get people to volunteer to say what they think and what, you know, sort of things that they're planning for their next year and how they might do it. That's super helpful because of the fact that you then go, 'Oh yeah, that's a great idea. No, I shouldn't said that.' or 'I think that, oh, oh, I didn't think about doing it that way.'So that's super helpful. So that's like I said, I always do it. I don't go set myself on my own. I always go to someone somewhere and we do it together as an activity. And that's why I'm putting on for you. So if you want to come and join me for this very special workshop, and I love you too, and it's great fun, honestly, this is stuff that I love.It's going to be brilliant and you are going to thank me. When you come off the four hour session working solely on your business and you've made a plan and you feel calm and ease and structured and ready to take on next year, rather than flying into it by the seat of your pants. And then towards the end of next year, you're thinking, oh, well, I'll do it the next year.No, no, do it, do it this year. Ready for next. Okay. So go to teresaheathwareing.com/2022planning. So 2 0, 2, 2 planning. If you go there, then you're going to go up to sign up for this amazing one off workshop. I'm very excited. I love this stuff. Okay. Anyway, so like I said, this is one of the reasons we're talking about this today to let you know about that, but also as to why it's so important that we, we do it properly.Let's get back to the point of goal setting. So you've reviewed the year. You've looked at what happened, and this is a great time to like sit and review everything and ask yourself why, why am I doing that? So one of the questions I'm asking myself at this point is why am I on every social media platform?Years ago I taught just social media, even though my background and experiences in full marketing. So I felt like I had to be on every single platform. Well, actually that's not the case anymore. I don't have to. So why am I like, could I not be on some platforms? So it's a really good center view of things. Also. I am looking at a rebrand right now.We are going through it, which no doubt will come in kind of January time. And again, what's that rebrand going to say about me? Why do I want to do it? So, like I said, great point to kind of question everything. Yet you did that this year, but do you want to do that next year? Is that still important to you?So once you've done all that, you start looking at the year going forward, and this is where you set goals. Now I am, I am huge fan of setting goals. There are some...
