Unleash Your Business Potential with the Digital CEO Strategy Planner

If you’re familiar with my journey, you know that I’ve been running my business online now full time for nearly 10 years as a solopreneur.

Before that, I spent several years dabbling with online business, content creation and social media marketing trying to get all the pieces to fit together to create income for myself online.

I saw other people doing it online, and I knew if it was possible for them, then it was also possible for me. But I had so many ideas it was difficult for me to structure them into the right foundation for me to build momentum upon.

So, I know first hand how challenging it can be to turn your business aspirations into actionable plans, especially if you are multi passionate like I am!

Actually running my business and remaining consistent was even more of a challenge as I had to hobble together different systems and tools to organize the various areas of my business to keep visibility on all the essentials.

So, I was using my planner, project management tools, spreadsheets and notes apps to capture, generate and organize the information for my business, and it was a lot.

Until Spring 2020 when I created the ultimate business planning tool for myself and other creative business owners known as the CEO Strategy Planner! This was a set of print at home planner inserts that creative entrepreneurs and digital marketers could use to organize the key elements of their business plan and take that plan and turn it into the small daily actions to take to keep the whole vision running.

It was an instant best-seller!

But of course, nearly since it’s inception, members of my community have been asking for a digital version of the planner to use on their iPad, Tablet or Smartphone device.

I’m so happy to say that the wait is officially over!

Introducing the Digital CEO Strategy Planner: Your Blueprint to Business Brilliance

Embrace the Autumn Glow: A Simple Morning Mindset Practice to Elevate Your Day

Hello, Wonderful Souls!

As the autumn leaves paint the world with warm hues, it’s the perfect time to infuse your mornings with a touch of mindful serenity. Embracing a morning mindset practice can set a positive tone for your day, enhancing your gratitude, focus, and overall well-being. Today, let’s explore a simple autumn morning routine that incorporates gratitude, mindful planning, empowering mindset shifts, and a grounding mindfulness mantra. By dedicating a few moments to this practice, you can step into the day with intention and grace.

1. Gratitude Journaling

   Begin your morning by acknowledging the blessings in your life. Grab your journal and write down three things you are grateful for. It could be the crisp morning air, a supportive friend, or a comforting cup of tea. Focusing on gratitude instills positivity and sets the stage for a day filled with appreciation.

2. Daily Planning and Intentions

   Take a moment to outline your priorities for the day. Jot down the tasks you need to accomplish and set clear intentions for each of them. Reflect on how accomplishing these tasks will contribute to your overall goals. Planning your day mindfully enhances focus and ensures you’re aligned with your aspirations.

3. Mindset Shifts to Empower Your Day

   Challenge any negative thoughts that may be lingering in your mind. Replace them with positive affirmations or empowering beliefs. For example, if you’re feeling apprehensive about a meeting, shift your mindset by affirming, “I am confident, capable, and well-prepared. I approach challenges with grace and intelligence.” Embrace the power of positive thinking to empower your day.

4. Simple Mindfulness Mantra

   Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Inhale the crisp, autumnal air and exhale any tension or worry. As you breathe, repeat a grounding mantra silently to yourself. For instance, you can use the mantra, “I am present, I am calm, I am capable.” Let these words wash over you, grounding you in the present moment.

By incorporating this autumn morning mindset practice into your daily routine, you cultivate a sense of mindfulness, gratitude, and empowerment. As the season changes, so too can your mindset, allowing you to embrace the beauty of each moment with open arms. Remember, your mornings set the tone for the rest of your day. By nurturing your mind and spirit, you create a foundation for a day filled with purpose, joy, and contentment.

Wishing you a season of mindful mornings and abundant blessings!

8 Things to Do in October to Make the Holiday Season more Harmonious 

Hello, Wonderful Souls!

October, with its crisp air and vibrant colors, is not just a prelude to winter; it’s a prologue to the warmth and togetherness of the holiday season. By embracing this month as a time of preparation and anticipation, you can pave the way for a peaceful, joyous, and stress-free holiday period. Here’s a guide to help you prepare your home, your family, and your heart for the wonderful chaos that November and December bring.

1. Declutter and Organize

Begin by decluttering your living spaces. Clear out the old to make room for the new. Organize your closets, cabinets, and pantry. Donate items you no longer need. This not only creates a sense of order but also makes room for holiday decorations and new gifts.

2. Prepare Your Home

   Start decorating your home for the holidays. Bring out your favorite decorations, and let your creativity flow. Ensure your holiday china and serving ware are accessible and clean. Create a cozy ambiance with candles, fairy lights, and warm blankets. Make your home a haven of comfort and cheer.

3. Plan Your Holiday Meals

   Research and organize recipes for your holiday feasts. Consider trying new dishes and experimenting with flavors. Plan your menus in advance, making note of any dietary restrictions or preferences. Create a shopping list and stock up on essential ingredients.

4. Capture the Moment

   If you plan to send out holiday cards, schedule a family photoshoot. Choose a theme or setting that resonates with your family’s personality. Remember, these photos capture beautiful memories and spread love to your friends and family.

5. Delegate and Collaborate

   Involve your family in the preparations. Allocate tasks based on everyone’s strengths and interests. Whether it’s cooking, decorating, or addressing holiday cards, sharing the workload fosters a sense of unity and excitement.

6. Practice Gratitude

   Encourage your family to reflect on what they are grateful for. Create a gratitude jar where everyone can jot down their blessings. This practice instills a sense of appreciation and sets a positive tone for the season.

7. Embrace Self-Care

   Amidst the busyness, don’t forget to nurture yourself. Take moments for self-reflection, indulge in your favorite activities, and prioritize self-care. A well-rested and content you will spread love and joy effortlessly.

8. Prepare for Guests

   If you’re expecting guests, prepare your guest rooms with fresh linens and cozy touches. Stock up on toiletries, and create a welcoming atmosphere. Plan activities and outings that will entertain your guests and create unforgettable memories.

Dear friends, October is the canvas upon which we sketch the outline of our holiday season. By embracing this month with intention and preparation, you pave the way for a seamless and heartwarming holiday period. Remember, the essence of the season lies not in perfection but in love, connection, and the joy of giving.

Wishing you a month filled with anticipation, love, and beautiful preparations.

4. Balance and Adjust

   – Regularly assess your schedule. Is it bringing you balance and fulfillment?

   – Be flexible. Life is dynamic, and your schedule should adapt to unexpected events or changing priorities.

5. Embrace the Joy of Balance

   – Remember, your Ideal Weekly Schedule isn’t about squeezing every moment full; it’s about creating a harmonious blend of work, play, and relaxation.

   – Prioritize activities that bring you joy, fulfillment, and a sense of connection.

The Q4 Crescendo: Achieve More While Doing Less

In the world of music, a crescendo is the moment when the volume and intensity of the music reach their peak. It’s that powerful surge that leaves you with a sense of anticipation and excitement. In the world of productivity and personal growth, the final quarter of the year, often referred to as Q4, can be your own crescendo—a time to achieve more while doing less. 

For many of us, Q4 is a season filled with holidays, gatherings, and events. It’s a time when the world seems to speed up, and our schedules become more crowded than ever. However, it’s precisely in this chaos that an opportunity for growth and transformation lies.

 The Q4 Advantage

Why is Q4 so special? Think of it as the climax of your year-long symphony. It’s the time when you can make the most significant impact on your goals and aspirations. Whether you’ve been trailing behind your targets or steadily progressing throughout the year, Q4 is your chance to orchestrate a grand finale.

Here’s why the Q4 crescendo is worth embracing:

1. The Sense of Urgency: As the year-end approaches, there’s a natural urgency that compels us to take action. We become more aware of the limited time remaining in the year, and this urgency can serve as a powerful motivator.

2. Clearer Priorities: Q4 forces us to prioritize. With numerous commitments and events on the horizon, it becomes essential to focus on what truly matters. This clarity can help you identify and dedicate your energy to your most meaningful goals.

3. Reflective Opportunities: The end of the year is an ideal time for reflection. You can assess your progress, celebrate your achievements, and learn from any setbacks. This introspective practice can guide your actions in the coming months.

4. Momentum Building: Q4 can be the launching pad for the year ahead. By finishing the year strong, you create momentum that can propel you into the next year with enthusiasm and determination.

 Strategies for Your Q4 Crescendo

So, how can you make the most of the Q4 crescendo? Here are some strategies to help you achieve more while doing less:

1. Prioritize Your Goals: Identify your top goals for the remaining quarter. Focus on a select few that align with your most important aspirations. Trying to tackle too many objectives can lead to overwhelm.

2. Simplify Your Approach: Instead of adding more tasks to your to-do list, consider simplifying. How can you achieve your goals with fewer steps? Streamline your processes and cut out unnecessary activities.

3. Time Blocking: Use time blocking to structure your days efficiently. Dedicate specific blocks of time to high-priority tasks and protect those time slots from distractions.

4. Leverage Support: Don’t hesitate to ask for help or delegate tasks that don’t require your personal attention. Share responsibilities with others to lighten your load.

5. Embrace Rest and Self-Care: Taking breaks and practicing self-care are essential during this busy season. Recharge your energy so that you can show up at your best when it matters most.

6. Celebrate Small Wins: Acknowledge and celebrate your achievements along the way. Recognizing your progress can boost your motivation and drive.

7. Stay Agile: Be open to adjusting your plans as needed. Life can be unpredictable, and flexibility is a valuable trait during the Q4 crescendo.

The Q4 crescendo is your opportunity to make a lasting impact on your goals and aspirations. By embracing the energy and urgency of this season, prioritizing what truly matters, and simplifying your approach, you can achieve more while doing less. Remember to celebrate your victories, reflect on your journey, and use the momentum you build to propel yourself into a new year filled with possibilities. Your symphony is still playing, and the grand finale is yours to compose.

Instant access to a library of content:30+ Master classes, Live Q+A Replays, Planning Sessions, Planner Inserts, Meditations + Additional Resources covering the topics of Planning, Productivity, Mindset, Goal Setting, Metaphysics

3 Live Zoom Calls per Month:Monthly Master Class, Q+A Coaching Call, Planning Power Hour  (All replays available immediately after the live call has ended)

Access to our Master Mind Slack:Accountability, Daily Prompts, Book Club, Q+A, Monthly Challenges, Meal Planning Inspo, Spotify Playlists, + more!

The Charmed Life Master Mind has flexible payment options to fit a variety of budgets:

Monthly: Pay $44 every 30 days

Quarterly: Pay $99 every 90 days (save $132 annually with this option)

Annual: Pay $396 every 365 days + Get the Bonus Master Planner (save $252 annually with this option)

BUT for a limited time, the Annual Membership price is just $333 with an automatic coupon that applies at checkout.

>> That equals out to less than $28 per month for group coaching, tons of on-demand personal development content and a complete library of planning resources! 

Would you pay $28 a month to buy back more of your time and get more done? I think the value speaks for itself.

Just add the Annual Membership subscription to cart to see the discount and save!

I sincerely hope to see you inside the Master Mind this fall because we have so many amazing seasonal and end of the year activities coming up that you do not want to miss!
