Here is Tim’s agenda for today’s sesh:

What’s new with you? Is there anything I should know about?
Held my cmgrSF which was a great event and am heading to Chicago to speak about HuffPost Live

What challenges or frustrations are you currently facing?
Facing the fact that I can’t do it all myself.

What progress have you made on your commitments since our last session?
While I can’t say I’ve spent 30 minutes each day, I have spent an average of 30 minutes each day. I’ve had a great breakthrough on my message: Networks are connections, Community is about relationships.

Experience any “Aha” moments since we last spoke?
That message thing above. Really made me say “This is it!” Continue to stay within a niche and topic I love with a message that applies to a mass audience.

What outcomes would you like to walk away with from this session?
What do I do next? The message is coming together, but what should I do now. Also, addressing the issue of not doing everything myself.

What question(s) are you hoping I won’t ask you?
I know you ask me this so we can talk about it, so don’t ask me about how much time I’ve spent with my wife over the last 2 weeks.

Join us today to watch Tim’s second 30-minute coaching session and cheer him on! Feel free to join the conversation by including the hashtag #AudacityLIVE when commenting on Google Plus and Twitter.

In case you missed it, you can catch up on his first coaching session here.

As part of his promise to make this entire coaching experience as transparent as possible, Tim submitted his session agenda for today’s conversation with permission to share it here:

What’s new with you? Is there anything I should know about?
I just spent a week in SoCal with my mother in law. Between work, commuting, dealing with relationships etc., I was much less productive than I wanted to be.

What challenges or frustrations are you currently facing?
Getting sidetracked. Putting too much time into things that are habit instead of what I should be focusing on.

What progress have you made on your commitments since our last session?
I’ve identified the first step I feel will help me move forward.

Experience any “Aha” moments since we last spoke?
It’s came up during our first session: I need to think lofty. Not instructional.

What outcomes would you like to walk away with from this session?
A clear definition of what I will be talking about.

What question(s) are you hoping I won’t ask you?
Who much time I actually spent on this during the last 2 weeks.

Between sessions, Tim did his homework from last week. I asked him to start mapping out what he wants to accomplish in our work together. After a few of emails back and forth, he focused in on his top priority goal and drafted the following plan of action:

Create the message (what is my message, what do I want to be known for)
This will serve me best because it will set the tone and give purpose to why I am doing everything else. I won’t be able to use it as an excuse to not move forward or wondering why I am doing what I am.

How I will get this done:
Write down 20 ideas
Cross half of them off.
Cross another half off.
Now look at each of the 5 and come up with 2 variations.
Pick the top 5 of those 15.
Share with 10 people I feel are mentors.
See what resonates with them and find the one to move forward with.
Develop tag lines/30 second pitches to accompany message.

Timeframe:
Send ideas to mentors by Wednesday
Create pitch by Friday

But one small set back slows you way down, dampens your resolve, dulls your sparkle, and puts you in a downward spiral of self-doubt and procrastination.

Or maybe that’s just me.

You see, I’ve fallen victim to this shit more times than I care to admit. I can get so consumed by one big thing that I kind of lost myself in it for a while. I give it every bit of physical and emotional energy to one exciting project. And if it doesn’t go my way, I often drown and pull everyone and everything around me down with me.

So not cute.

In a moment of oh-so-stupidly-dramatic despair over my lack of follow through on my goals since the beginning of the year, I found myself whining like a mule to my mastermind partner, ChaChanna Simpson, last month. She graciously recently reminded me to take a breath, reboot, and start again. And that’s exactly what I’ve done!

April is the perfect time to reboot your life. In fact, I’ve decided to make it a quarterly ritual. I’ve updated my vision…

I am building a thriving entrepreneurial empire that will afford me and my family a location-independent, time-flexible lifestyle doing exactly what I’m meant to do…inspiring Audacity, engaging Hungry Entrepreneurs, and empowering success in people everywhere!

And I’ve created specific 90-day goals with step-by-step strategies to make shit happen. I have Attainable, Ambitious, and Audacious goals set for April, May, and June, all moving me in the direction of my powerful vision. I’m more fired up than ever before with what’s gonna go down in my business this year!

What about you? Could you use a little reboot action yourself? I’d love to walk you through my process!

I’m offering you (and your friends) a one-on-one 90-minute Reboot session in April for just $150. If you are interested in learning more, simply send me an email and I’ll fill you in on all the details.

So on April 2nd at 9:30am Eastern, join Tim and I for his first #AudacityLIVE Coaching Session!

We invite you to watch live below. You can participate in the conversation on G+ and on Twitter using the hashtag #AudacityLIVE.

But I didn’t expect him to suggest this:

“What do you think of doing something with me and publicly documenting it? I was thinking maybe a bi-weekly half hour session that we can record and broadcast on G+. I’d love to talk about challenges I’m having with growing (profitably) mycmgr and beginning to grow my speaking career while balancing with work . . . I think many look at me as being so successful, but I want to say it like it is. Image isn’t everything. And if I’m struggling with this, many others are too.”

Instead of the standard CONFIDENTIAL coaching program, Tim wants to share his coaching experience ON AIR for the world to see. We’re talking TOTAL TRANSPARENCY! And that suggestion was so Audacious that I knew we just HAD to do it!

So on April 2nd at 9:30am Eastern, join Tim and I for his first #AudacityLIVE Coaching Session!

We invite you to watch Tim’s coaching session live and/or watch the recording afterwards. You can participate in the conversation on G+ and on Twitter using the hashtag #AudacityLIVE. In between his bi-weekly coaching sessions, Tim’s coaching agenda + session recaps (standard requirements for working with me) will be shared here on the blog.

Learn how Audacity Coaching really works and watch what happens when Tim taps into his Audacity and elevates his pretty awesome life to something even more EXTRAORDINARY!

If you’re anything like I used to be – you are just suffering through another torturous work week in a job or situation you hate. Or maybe you love the people you are working with, but just can’t stand the work anymore. Or maybe the job is okay, but the people suck. Or maybe your entrepreneurial aspirations have slowed, or worse yet…stalled. Or maybe you are just feeling like you are meant to do so much more than you’re currently doing, but you’re STUCK!

If any of this sounds about right, then we need to talk.

Let’s face it. When you hate your work + life, no matter how hard you try, you’re gonna SUCK at it. Or, to be more precise, you’ll never elevate into your most EXTRAORDINARY self. And that’s simply not good enough anymore.

I’d like to invite you to a Get Unstuck Yesterday coaching session. In this laser-focused 30-minute conversation, we will work together to…

* Create a crystal clear vision of the life you were born to lead
* Uncover hidden challenges that may be sabotaging your success + keeping you stuck
* Recharge your moxie and go forth more Audacious than ever before

If you’d like to take advantage of this very special, very limited, and totally FREE 30 minute Get Unstuck Yesterday coaching session, request your session here!

Audacity Rules

Many of you have still not picked up my latest & greatest slice of audacious goodness :: my brand new book, Audacity Rules. This self-guided program packs all the juiciest, most life-altering wisdom & strategies I’ve perfected in my 6 years of coaching into one simply gorgeous illustrated adventure. And now that the new year is here, it’s just the thing to give you cathartic shove you need to make 2013 your best year yet!

Click here to buy your copy today!

Now it’s time to look forward and decide what the next year has in store for us. Screw the typical New Year resolution setting (that never freaking works anyway); I’m talking real Audacious goal setting (the juicy stuff). And I have the perfect tool to help you out: The Future Letter.

The premise of the Future Letter is simple: write a letter to someone as if you are writing it at some point in your future (traditionally a year from today) detailing the accomplishment of your goals. It’s a sort of Back to the Future way to script out how the next phase of your life could go if you achieve the goals you are creating today.

The letter should be addressed to someone in your cheering section who genuinely cares about your success and would love to hear about your accomplishments. Whether or not you actually send the letter is entirely up to you.

Writing your Future Letter is an opportunity to flesh out your goals into something tangible, inspiring, and motivating. Be bold, give details, stay optimistic, and enjoy the process!

So here’s the task:

1. Select the point of time that works for you and pinpoint an exact date for your letter. Perhaps this is six months from now, one year from today, five years from today, or on some already specified day like graduation day or your wedding day.
2. Identify the addressee(s) for your letter. Who is the best recipient for this letter? Why is this the right person for to send it to?
3. Write out your letter as if you are writing it on your selected date AND you’ve already accomplished/experienced the things you are writing about.
4. Decide what you are going to do with the letter to draw power from it. Suggestions include: sending it to the recipient for safe keeping, post it on your blog, print it and keep it with you, post it on your vision board, etc.

To inspire you, I’ve decided to share my personal Future Letter for 2012 below. Mine focuses mostly on building my business, of course, but yours could focus on whatever goals you want – personal, career, spiritual, physical, relationships, etc. Enjoy!

Hi Bestie,                                   

Happy New Year!!! 2013 has been a my best year yet – both personally and professionally! I can’t wait to tell you all about it!!!

First, my health! Like every other year, I sought to improve my health and fitness this year. But this year, I actually made it happen! I hired a personal trainer and wellness coach to help me drop weight and gain confidence…and I’ve never felt better – or sexier! I’ve fallen in love with going to the gym, took up kickboxing, and I live on my bike. I’m a new woman!

And of course, I also took my running to a whole new level. We finished our first half-marathon in February!!! Becoming a runner has given me a new lease on life! Both Meredyth and I now consider ourselves full-fledged athletes!

My coaching practice is booked solid!!! I have a waiting list of clients who want in the Audacity PACT Group Coaching Program, Audacity Rules self-guided program sells like crazy, and my PACT Solo Seshes are booked three months out! I’m so happy to be working with such a variety of amazing clients from all over the world who get what Audacity is about and want to reinvent themselves with my help. I so love what I do. And now that I’ve carefully packaged my coaching programs into groups and one-day sessions, I have much more time freedom to devote to my fitness goals and my speaking career.

Speaking of speaking, my professional speaking career continues to blossom! I booked over 30 paid speaking engagements in 2013, including national conferences, local conferences, college events, Meetups, and associations. I also hosted my own live full day seminar in the fall and sold out the seats! And the Audacity PACT Weekend Retreats are growing in popularity and I’m traveling all over to host them. 

I’m incredibly proud about (whoops…this part is top secret…well, for now…major announcement coming in a couple weeks)

All in all, life is good! Thank you for always believing in me! Your support truly helped make all of the above happen!  

Love + Moxie,

Jennie

I was honored to be February’s Stellar Star on ChaChanna Simpson’s StellarTV series. She invited me on to share my personal road-to-entrepreneurship story and to share my advice and lessons learned with her audience. We also discussed my involvement in the upcoming 1,000 Voices event in NYC. It was an amazing conversation with lots of great insight to share. Please share fall and wide.

Here’s a quick reality check: your current situation is the result of all the choices you’ve made up until now. And the things you do repeatedly – your habits and typical behaviors – have created the current version of “You.” Sure, your parents made choices for you during your youth and I’m sure you adopted some of their habits for the long haul. But you can’t continue to blame them (or anyone else for that matter) for your current life. You and you alone are responsible for the way your life is today.

If your life is going your way, then this is great news! It means that you have been intentionally becoming exactly who you want to be. However, if life is less than fabulous, perhaps you’d like to develop a better version of “You.” The way forward is to start acting with uber-clear intentions.

Here are two quick and easy ways to make your choice-making more intentional. First, conduct a choices inventory. List all of the behaviors, choices, and habits you make consistently. Now, apply the Keep/Stop/Start assessment technique. Ask yourself:

• What choices are you making now that serve your interests brilliantly (keep doing)?
• What choices are you making now that deter you from your best self (stop doing)?
• What new choices do you need to make to move forward (start doing)?

Next, now that you’ve raised your awareness of your potential pitfalls, it’s time to take responsibility of your choices moving forward. Monitor your daily decisions by asking yourself: does this choice give me instant gratification or is this choice a step in the right direction? This is a great self-coaching technique for holding yourself accountable.
