If you answered no to question four or five. Pick another skill. Because it must be deeply important to you and the transformation must excite you. Otherwise just like goals. That must be uniquely purposeful to you. To motivate you. If it's not, you will fail to commit to developing this skill throughout the year.

I know you're going to have an incredible year. And I'll be here supporting you every step of the way. I felt totally panicked last new years. I definitely thought my new year was doomed on January 1st. But that's not how it turned out. And in fact the opposite. And I'll share that story with you today. Couple of announcements on what to expect from today's episode and in January. We've been honing in on the planning and strategy to grow your creative business using the SWOT method in the last two episodes. So essentially the SWOT method is reviewing what went really well in your business last year and what didn't and how you can use that information to inform what's going to fill your soul and your wallet this year. Remember to review your strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities from the SWOT S w O T covered in episodes 35 and 36. And especially learn these by watching the episodes on YouTube. And quick reminder, we still have Amazon cash up for grabs. When we reach 88. Five star written reviews on apple podcast. I appreciate all your reviews so much. Love hearing from you guys. I am super excited about today's show. We're going to identify your one big skill to master this year. And we're going to do it together through six straightforward questions. Today is part of our January jumpstart series. Which is all about intentions, beliefs, and goals for an incredible year. Moving you toward a life that you love as both an artist and a human. I have been in deep study of my goals and intentions for the year. And I've been circling back to what helped me reach my highest potential in the past. And I've been devouring, new books, podcasts, and other high value content, all of which I am going to be pouring into you this month for our January jumpstart series. So are you ready? It's time to kick off 2024 as the best you with gorgeous, purposeful living. high vibe and high income. Let's go empowered artists. So here's a story about why I panicked at the turn of 2023. First, you should know. I don't do resolutions cause I'm a goals gal. I fully believe in choosing your own destiny and going after what you want by setting goals. Last year I started my year five weeks late. You see, I had long COVID and it started at Christmas unknowingly. I had re gifted COVID to my entire family for Christmas. Oops, how sweet of me. So as January 1st rolled by then week two and then week three. Everyone else was busy, declaring their fancy dreams on social media. I felt so stagnant and sweaty. I was totally weak. Laid up in my bed with COVID. what, you have to know about me is I am an Enneagram seven and a Sagittarius through and through. So downtime to me feels like a mental prison. And as an entrepreneur, five weeks laid up in bed, feels like an eternity because I am such an overachiever. But 2023, it turned out to be incredible despite the so-called late start. At the turn of the new year, a podcast wasn't even on my mind because of my own mental blocks of what was possible for myself and my business, with my chronic health issues. But that's the year that I conquered myself, started a podcast that I never dreamed of, and recorded over 33 weekly episodes. And despite the late start on the new year and all of the panic and gloom and doom, it all worked out. And in fact it was one of my most purpose filled years. Doing what I loved and leading others to do the same, chasing their dreams. You see the ring of the new year is arbitrary. That's someone else's timeline. It wasn't mine. Because once I turned on the engine, it was up to me to accelerate. And you can choose your new beginning any time. So I promised you a part three to the SWOT analysis, and we're going to do that right now. And the last two episodes we did our SWOT analysis and our reminder, SWOT stands for S strengths. W weaknesses O opportunities. And the T typically stands for threats in the SWOT analysis, but not ours. Our SWOT is not gloom and doom or threatening. Because we are going to focus on what we can control. Which are the skills that we can learn to leverage and grow our business. So that T and our SWOT stands for in capital letters. THE skill that you don't have yet. Which is the perfect segue for the one big skill that you want to identify to master this year. So here are the six questions you can ask yourself to identify the one big skill that you can master this year to move your business and your life forward. So number one, we're going to start with. What is your goal? And number two is. What knowledge, skills and abilities to someone who has already reached that goal possess. And whatever you answer for number two, these are all opportunities for you. You're going to list a lot of them. So in number three, What is the one most important skill on the list for you to master this year to get you to your goal? If you were going to pick just one thing, what's going to be the most important. Question number four. Is the skill you picked transformative enough. Will this skill completely transform where you are today and help you reach the next level and where you want to go. That means the skill you're choosing is challenging. To transform the way you have to show up every day. That should excite you. So number four and five, we're going to make sure. The skill that you're picking is going to be the right skill. And it's going to. Be what you should focus on. So number five is, is this skill you picked. Important to you. It's learning this skill. Important to your values. Is it aligned with your purpose? Are you picking it because you want to do it, not because someone else told you to and you feel obligated. So make sure it's something that's important to you. Number six. If not. If you answered no to question four or five. Pick another skill. Because it must be deeply important to you and the transformation must excite you. Otherwise just like goals. That must be uniquely purposeful to you. To motivate you. If it's not, you will fail to commit to developing this skill throughout the year. So I want you to answer this question for me as you're listening. What is your goal? And what is your skill? You can answer the Q and a on Spotify. You can leave me a comment on YouTube or Instagram. What is your goal and what is your skill? Choosing the right goal and sticking to it, is incredibly difficult for a whole year. Especially if you don't have the right support with all the ups and downs and challenges, the solo journey can feel more like torture than excitement. So here's where I can help. If you want to step into your full potential and get personalized, help with your goals from me. I have great news.
