Six Months From Now, What Do You Want Your Life To Look Like?

What if you stopped focusing on your goals and started focusing on the outcomes you really want?

Recently, I guided my BIG Life Mastermind group through a powerful six-month vision-casting exercise.

We didn’t begin with a long list of things to accomplish. Instead, we started by envisioning what we wanted our lives to look and feel like six months from now.

There is a significant difference between setting a goal and identifying a meaningful outcome. In this video, I explain that difference and share a simple exercise. You can try yourself.

The Rules of Goal Setting Have Changed

Are you still setting goals? The way you did 10 or 20 years ago?

I’ve been teaching goal setting and personal development for more than three decades. But the world has changed, and so must our approach to creating what we want.

Today’s success requires more than a detailed plan and determination. It requires flexibility, purpose, and willingness to adapt.

In this first video of my five-part BIG Life, Create What You Want, I share why it’s time to rethink some of the traditional rules of goal setting.

I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Here's something I want you to remember this week: Don't wait until you have extra time to take care of yourself. Make the time.

Think about what drains your energy. Are you taking on too much? Absorbing everyone else's stress? Saying yes when you really need to say no?

You have permission to protect time for yourself, whether that's reading, taking a walk, enjoying a hobby, or simply having a few moments without anyone needing something from you.

Personal development begins with recognizing that your needs matter, too.

It doesn’t always pay to work from home.

Courage doesn't always mean feeling ready. Sometimes it means trusting yourself enough to take the next step even when you're uncertain about the outcome.

I've learned that through some of the most difficult experiences of my life, including the decisions I had to make after losing my husband.

Each time I faced something unfamiliar, made a decision, and moved forward, I gained confidence for whatever came next.

You build courage by using it.

If you're ready to take a chance on yourself, I encourage you to explore Red Lipstick ON! Blueprint for a Bold, Radiant Life, my self-paced course designed to help you reconnect with yourself and move forward with greater courage and confidence.

Tomorrow is the last day to save 20%! Our first-anniversary offer ends October 31.

You can love your family, care deeply about your work, and be there for the people who depend on you without losing sight of your own dreams and desires.

Sometimes, though, we become so accustomed to taking care of everyone else that we forget to ask ourselves an important question: What do I want for my life?

Your purpose, happiness, and personal fulfillment deserve attention, too.

If you've been putting yourself at the bottom of your priority list, I encourage you to start making room for the things that make you feel alive.

My Red Lipstick ON! Blueprint for a Bold, Radiant Life course helps you reconnect with those priorities and create a personal blueprint for moving forward.

Our anniversary celebration ends soon! Save 20% through October 31 with code ANNIVERSARY.

What does being a bold woman mean to you?

To me, it means having the courage to live authentically, champion what you believe in, use your gifts, and make choices that honor the life you want.

At 74, I can tell you that there are still so many wonderful experiences, opportunities, and possibilities ahead, regardless of your age or circumstances.

One year ago, I launched Red Lipstick ON! to share the lessons I've learned about living with courage, confidence, and purpose. Today, I'm celebrating all the women who have taken those ideas and made them their own.

If you're ready to explore what living boldly means for you, my Red Lipstick ON! Blueprint for a Bold, Radiant Life course can help you turn that intention into action.

Do you ever feel like you're keeping up with everyone else's needs, expectations, and responsibilities, but losing touch with what you want for your own life?

I hear this from women all the time. They're capable, accomplished, and busy, yet they're feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or uncertain about what comes next.

You deserve more than a life spent trying to keep up. You deserve to feel confident about where you're going and excited about the life you're creating.

That's why I created Red Lipstick ON! Blueprint for a Bold, Radiant Life, a self-paced personal development course designed to help you reconnect with yourself and create a life that reflects what matters most to you.

Happy National Boss’s Day to our incredible leader, Joan Burge! ❤️

Today, the ODI Team had a little fun celebrating the woman who inspires, challenges, encourages, and leads us every day!

We started the morning with bagels and flowers, followed by a very special surprise: a custom AI-generated song written just for Joan, celebrating her personality, accomplishments, and all the things that make her one of a kind! 🎶 Watching her hear it for the first time was definitely a highlight of the day. (Be sure to watch the video!)

And because no celebration is complete without something sweet, we wrapped up the afternoon with cake!

Joan, thank you for your vision, your passion, your generosity, and the countless ways you encourage us to grow personally and professionally. You lead with high expectations, a big heart, and an unwavering belief in what we can accomplish together.

We're grateful to be part of the team you've built, and we hope today reminded you just how much you're appreciated!

Happy Boss’s Day, Joan! 🌹
