Effective Decisions for Lifestyle Freedom

Your decisions shape your NOW and your future.

Smart decisions lead you to that much sought after place in life where you have the TIME you want to to relax, socialise, enjoy your hobbies, spend time with loved ones, to have more fun AND  your work and business is in a great shape for you to do this. 

Your ability to make good decisions that are aligned with your values and desires are key to creating the results you want – because it determines where you put your energy and focus. What you say NO to is as important as what you say YES to…

Notice if you are more inclined to make decisions from the head or the heart.

To make powerful decisions that both feel GOOD and support the way you really want to live requires you get very clear on some very important basics:

What do you really WANT in your life and business – how do you want to spending your time each week? With clients, family, friends.

How much money do you require to live the way you want to live – based on present day and future estimation. Is there a gap? How much? (It may help you to get a professional adviser to help you with this.

What is the real value of your time and expertise? Are you optimising it fully?

What are the non-negotiable experiences you want to have daily/weekly/monthly etc

What do you NOT enjoy doing that currently takes up your time? What can you change about this so that you spend less time, or stop doing what you don’t enjoy? 

Who would you love to ideally work with?  Think partnerships, collaborations, team…

Are you aware of your thought processes and beliefs about what you think is possible for you?  Do you notice limitations that you need to work through?

Getting clear on each of these areas shows you where there may be a gap to close, some new structure to implement or conversations to prioritise.

Ask yourself each day “What decision do I need to make today that’s going to take me closer to the results I want in my business and the lifestyle I want for myself, my family and the impact I want to make by helping others.

Create rules for yourself that give you structure so that you can monitor your progress.

Notice where you may be tempted to lower boundaries and let the rules slide.

ASK for support if that will help you! The most effective way to maintain your progress is with accountability.

Professional accountability is the fastest way to create change and accountability will get you where you want to go more effectively than a solo journey.  Let’s connect and explore what will help you the most. Email me at dawn@dawngrossart.com

How to Beat the Thief of Life – FEAR!

I know that feeling. A yearning inside to be living life differently, BEING a different version of you.  I’ve never met anyone yet who didn’t have a fear-based story that was in some way holding them back from their full potential.

To borrow Oprah Winfrey’s words, “this is what I know for sure”.    Unless you are in immediate physical danger, in which case you need to get to safety, then the fear that you feel is a projection if an imagined outcome.

Fear is a powerful cocktail of thoughts and emotion that feels like the situation or outcome is real. Often, you feel that the imagined “dire consequences” would have such a big impact on you and your life… so you stay safe and don’t risk it.  Thinking “It’s safer to stay with what you know and who you are”.

In those moments, the world is robbed of you showing up as in some way that could really make a difference for others – and YOU are robbed of growth and an opportunity to transform your situation or experience.

Overcoming Fear:

Here’s what I do. I sit and close my eyes.  I imagine the life I desire and how much it would mean to me – and how much it would mean to others I know, love and care about to be living that way. 

Then, I look at the worst imagined outcome and think, “Could I handle it if this happened”? This is my yardstick measure. 

Inevitably, I see I CAN handle the outcomes, and I CHOOSE to TRUST myself more each time the fear comes up to do the steps so I CAN DO the thing that has me feeling afraid. Fear is guiding the way to your dream life. What you desire is ALWAYS on the other side of you fear.

6 Steps to Making “Freedom” a Reality

Freedom to Choose is YOURS.

A woman in her power is liberated to live how she chooses.

Freedom. It’s the dream of almost every woman I speak “to have time and money freedom, so I can live how I choose”.

There has never been such an opportunity-rich time to pursue the lifestyle of flexible living – especially to be an entrepreneur. The wealth of internet based opportunities and network marketing franchises available is increasing rapidly every single week.

So, why are there not more people actually experiencing it for themselves?

Well, in the last few months I’ve seen many people express the desire, but then shy away from what it really takes to make it happen. So I’ve suggested how YOU can make it happen for you.

6 steps that will help you get there:

  1. Get very CLEAR about what you want and why you want FREEDOM in your life is the first step in the process to create it. Without it it – the rest is incredibly difficult. Your “Big Why” really matters.
  2. KNOW YOURSELF enough to know what might stop you and finding the “edges” of your comfort zone and how you’ll react when you are out of it. It’s like letting go of the side of the swimming pool and swimming in the deep water when you can’t put your feet down.  The feelings similar – you’ll feel a little fear and uncertainty, then realise that you CAN do it!
  3. Learn to think constructively, positively, and optimistically. Going beyond realistic, and into the realm of “anything is possible” and “I’m going to find a way”. However, creating new neural pathways in the brain is a matter of repetition and practice.
  4. Become GREAT at delegating and receiving help. You can’t create freedom if you’re DOING everything. It’s just not possible.
  5. Master Time and Money – both are essential if you want to have more freedom with both. If you’re not effectively managing what you have now, the how can be trusted with more?
  6. Get Accountability and Support – every successful entrepreneur realises that the fastest way to success is the most effective way to create results.

Audit those areas and see how’re you doing. If you’re not yet where you want to be, it’s time for a rethink. Time for some specific guidance and steps. You can get in touch at dawn@dawngrossart.com The most EXCITING thing is, there IS a way to create both time and money freedom… It’s about who you become in the process that is the most interesting part. The confidence and inner strength that comes with the freedom is worth its own weight in gold.
