Set Goals for Business that Support a Lifestyle

A few years ago, my life didn’t look how it does now. Even though ‘ve technically set my own schedule from the beginning, my first few years were dictated by the whims of my clients. More often than not, they weren’t great clients either.

That meant I was overworked, underpaid, and maybe borderline burnt out sometimes.

The last couple of years have felt like a totally different life. I had 2 babies, which meant 2 maternity leaves in 2 years. Shifted from chronically working overtime to taking Fridays off leading up to my first born. Then returning from leave with just part-time hours even though I continued to bring home a full-time income. Now that I’m back in the “ease back into work after maternity 2.0 leave” phase again, I’ve been reflecting on how I got here.

Also…

What’s working?

What’s not working?

What do I want more of?

What do I want less of?

After answering these questions, I think that all of the success I’ve seen comes back to the clarity I have: Around my vision, my reason why, and then the path forward. Of course that “how” doesn’t become clear until after some intentional reflection and careful planning.

But that’s really all it comes down to.

As the current cohort of The Inner Circle Mastermind kicks off, the members inside have been asking themselves similar questions. We’re getting started on their individual action plans to realign their businesses to fit their ideal lifestyle. So this type of work is top of mind.

I thought I’d give you a peek into my life design and goal setting process too—in case you’re curious (like I am) about how others do this.

You can watch that on YouTube here.

Because the cool thing is that you get to call that shots. ← And that’s how I coach all my clients through this decision.

Repeat after me:

✨ I get to decide what my life looks like. ✨

Once you know what you want, the next step is simple: Design the path to connect that gap from your current situation to your ideal work-life integration.

✨ So first, watch the video above to learn how I set business goals to align my work with my ideal lifestyle.

If you’re ready to get started doing the same for yourself, check out Align + Integrate. This mini course will help you recreate your work-life reality in 2 hours or less. Literally hundreds of other solopreneurs have grabbed this resource, and I always make my private coaching clients start with this foundational work because without it? You’ll never truly scale in alignment.

Instead, you’ll be stuck chasing things that don’t really matter to you, or won’t truly impact your day-to-day life. ← IDK about you, but that’s not for me.

I’m here for the aligned and thriving vibes. No more Girl Boss Hustle, remember?

Cheers to you taking control of your days.

I hope you learn a little something or get inspired. Enjoy. ✨
