Connecting with Future You

Today, in 2 minutes or less, you'll learn:   

1. About a fantastic goal-setting exercise you can do  
2. Some key questions you can think about to help you achieve your dreams  
3. Your future self can provide powerful advice to your current self.  

Today, I want to share a fantastic exercise that will be very helpful to you. I love being future-focused and putting goals out to the universe. If you dream big and then get to work, it is incredible what you can make happen. Once you write your goals down and stay focused on them, you keep thinking about them, and this challenges your brain to find ways to make them happen.   

That is why I would love for you to think about your future and what you hope to achieve by doing the following activity. I want you to write a letter from your future self to your current self. You decide on a date in the future where you have achieved what you set out to with your online business. In it, I want you to think about some of the following:  

• What are your dreams? I encourage you to dream big and believe in what is possible.   
• Why are you doing this? If necessary, include smaller whys (for example, being passionate about your business, helping and serving your dream client, personal growth, making money, or more freedom).  
• What do you want your life to look like?  
• What results do you want?  
• What are you prepared to put in?  
• What does your future self know that your current self doesn't?  
• What obstacles will stand in your way, and how will you overcome them (think of specific strategies)?  

Start by writing or typing wherever is easiest for you. You don't need to fixate on how you will achieve your goals. The 'how' will happen. Let's start taking small steps toward your bigger vision. Remember, you've got this, and you can do hard things. Dig deep and believe in yourself. You will be amazed at the advice your future self can give your current self.   

Once it is written, review your letter regularly so that you stay focused on your goals and your why. This will help you stay consistent. Connecting deeply with your why is so important, as it will help you push through the discomfort and setbacks that arise and keep trying. I also encourage you to write it down or record it daily so that your goals remain an essential focus throughout your business journey.  

Good luck, and let me know how you go!
