 The problem that I have with how most goals are set is that the timeline is usually very unrealistic, especially when I see people set business goals. By the end of this year, my business is going to be, you know, this successful and I'm going to have this many clients. And then I said, well, how many do you have now? And it's way, way less. And oftentimes they set those goals. You know, when they're applying to my group coaching program, for example, and this is, by the way, not talking about anyone, particularly one night, I see this as a pattern for many of the applications to my program. And they maybe even think I have some kind of magic that I'm going to be able to sprinkle on their actions that, oh, by joining Georgia's program, I'm going to learn all this stuff. I'm going to be able to have support and community and therefore I'm able to go from, you know, the zero or, you know, few clients I have now to suddenly a full business by the end of the year. And I'm going to be so disciplined and be creating content consistently like, oh, are you doing that now? No, not no way. And so there is nothing wrong with having great ambitions and exciting, you know, dreams and goals. The problem comes in with the timeline. The timeline is what makes us either be fantasizing or to get into wrongdoing. And so what I mean is, you can have a dream of having a full time business and, you know, so that's like sort of an external outcome of I have many clients who, you know, I have a waiting list of clients. And I have a goal of like an internal outcome of, oh, I am now really consistent about creating content and I am showing up on a, you know, I'm showing up, you know, regularly and I'm organized. Those are, and those are, that's an internal outcome. You can have those dreams. But though, how do you know how long it'll take you to get there? Right, like most people say, well, end of the year, that sounds like a long time if you're at the beginning of the year, or if you're at the end of the year, no, the middle of next year or something like that. It sounds like a long time, but the, what's missed by most of us is the subtleness of long-term growth, like all these outcomes, whether it's external outcomes of having a full business and successful, you know, or the end, which usually requires external outcomes of being more disciplined and organized and overcoming of your limitations. That requires different amounts of time for different people and almost always it requires much longer than what people expect, even when they have my mentorship and the support that I create within a community of clients, etc. People realize, oh, if I would have, if I, if I already had the capacity to do that, I would have done it already. And to get to that kind of business means I have to actually change a lot. I have to be way more organized. I have to be way more better at boundaries with others, people and with myself. I have to be way less doubtful of my own creations and just, you know, publish things when they're way less perfect than I would want them to be. And so this, this like actual result that you want takes so much change of yourself that you don't realize that this, this change isn't usually fun to make. And this is where joyful productivity comes in, because it's like the changes you have to make are, are things like, I don't feel like, for example, right before I may start making this video I was taking a nap. And today I had some personal, you know, some important personal errands to run that my schedule today was completely different than, and then I had originally intended and I was taking a long nap and I'm like, oh, but maybe I should just skip this week's video. I don't feel like making it. But you know what, I'm going to start the recording anyway. And those of you who are watching the Facebook live know that I had to miss take. You know, those watching YouTube didn't get the missed take in the beginning, but it doesn't matter. So it's like there's so much of doing what we don't feel like doing, and therefore stretching into the kind of person that is required for actual long term success. And it's not. And so that kind of stretching can either be avoided, which is what most, most people do, perhaps, you know, you've noticed yourself doing a lot of the avoiding of the stretching, or they are suffering while they're doing it. The only take on this is that it's not going to be fun. And a normal your your current consciousness won't find it fun. It probably will find it painful or suffering. However, if you understand that they're that the that the below all of this work is the real work of personal growth. The joy of becoming a better person, essentially, then you might try to build some playfulness, curiosity, and even might I say deep joy into the activity. And by doing so, you realize, Oh, maybe the timeline of me trying to get a full all my client in a full full time with clients to make enough money to be organized enough to show up. Maybe the timeline of me getting there doesn't matter as much as I thought, like, Oh, I thought I was going to do that by the end of this year. I'm not making enough progress, whatever. So that timeline was unrealistic. And instead, you should just focus on stretching yourself today. Like right now, you don't feel like doing this you don't feel like starting your video you don't feel like publishing this you don't feel like, what if you don't feel like doing. That's my whole day. Did you know that. I was like, Oh my God, George really your whole day you're suffering. No, I'm not suffering, because I've already reframed all this as a deeper joy of stretching myself. And that's like what it's like, you just need a little bit of stretching and then you're like oh that's actually feels pretty good. So for example, I didn't feel like I really didn't feel like starting this video I really didn't. I wanted to keep sleeping. And I'm like kind of foggy headed today and not in the right, like it's completely not related to what I wrote for this blog post doesn't matter so maybe you are reading a blog was like what, what is he talking about. Right. But I stretched myself anyway and now 10 minutes into the video I'm kind of having fun with you kind of. And now I actually have to look at my notes to see what the heck I was trying to say. No, but, but you see what I mean like, like the. In other words, it's okay to have ambitions and goals, but just understand that the process there is not going to be fun. Whoever told you getting there is fun. They're either lying to you. Or number two, they've never done it themselves, or they've forgotten what it's like to get there. Or number three, they're talking on a more critical level or deeper level what fun means. They mean, spiritually fun. Joy of eternal connection with soul that's not about right now I don't feel like doing this. I really don't I don't want to. Whatever it is you're doing I don't want to be writing I don't want to be playing this technology so hard to figure out I'm so frustrated right now I don't know people are going to become a fool, whatever. It's not it's not fun. It's not not not at this level of consciousness but that's some kind of higher level of consciousness it is fun this life is fun even though it's full of the suffering as you probably know, but it's life is fun because we're playing an avatar anyway. So, so in other words, when you have what I believe to be a truly productive view of your goals, a joyful productivity mindset, you don't care about the timeline you don't say well I don't. You know, I'm falling behind or I'm not there yet, or, oh I got to, I got to make sure I make this next launch successful or whatever it's like I've let go of timelines. A long ago, which allows me to still be here working so consistently, which I ironically allows me to be more successful than a lot of other people who are so focused, or not they don't realize like a lot a lot of you watching this don't even realize that you're attached to this timeline of when are you going to have all your clients. When did you think it's going to happen by the end of the year, it might not might be another 10 years. It might be it might be six months I don't know I really don't. But if you're the timeline is, let's like get rid of it, you know, but what we should do is like I get I get rid of the longer term like success timeline, and then but I care so much about my schedule today. And this is, this is the opposite of what most of us, most of you are doing like you, you, you have this vision of a long, long term time. Oh, I'm going to even like I said by joining Georgia's program I'll have a full time client load by the end of the year whatever timeline here. And then you don't follow your schedule today, because someone needs you because you don't feel good because you were checking emails and went too long because you're surfing social. Like, that's what I care about I care about following today's schedule. And I care about showing up no matter how much of a fool I make of myself, whether it's on live video like this, or whether it's, you know, writing and publishing something you're like yeah that sales page wasn't really that good but whatever I'm committed to publishing the sales page today and if I get zero sales I get zero sales. You see how, like, it still comes back to this idea of being unattached to results, but being so attached to the fact that I follow my schedule today. I'm really attached to that. And yes, if I know a lot of you have hard time following your schedule I know that. And I also hear a lot of you. And I'm sorry if this is a dig at any of you but I don't mean it that way. A lot of you a lot of people I work with are so smart yourself included you're so brilliant. And you think. No, Georgia scheduling is not is not meant for me he's a different kind of person really did you do you know my background how discipline I was most of my life, and how much I was a hippie, you know like flower child most of my like, I hated discipline I hated regularity consistency Oh George is different he's somehow he's different. Maybe because he's Asian or something and then there's some racism there. But whatever it's like, it's he's different. Maybe he's a man and I'm a woman and therefore there's different. It's like Mike Mike Mike, a lot of my people are worth are so brilliant that they come up with reasons why. You know, the therefore the linear schedule isn't meant for me because I'm more spiritual or I'm more, I have a different human design or have a different astrology chart than George or have a different whatever different personality type, pick your personality I'm different and so therefore whatever I have to find out and then they never find a way. It's like they still sorry again I don't want to criticize any particular person because what I'm criticizing is many, many, many, many, many, many people I've worked with over the years, and it's like, like you all, it's not you all that so many people like, they just, they say well because I'm different and so I can't follow. And like, there's, so therefore, what are you, is your was what you're doing working. And did you think that somehow it was supposed to be fun and not, not stretching, like, do you think that you're supposed to just go with your own intuition today and you can't follow the schedule because somehow you're, it's like, I would love to know how that works. I would love to see someone who has been able to build a successful business in a very calm, joyful way which I think I, I have I have a successful but I mean, if you looked at my schedule those people who are in my program, how the heck do you do it. So many calls per week, you, and okay fine I don't have kids. That's how I do it. Okay, maybe that's it. I don't have kids. I don't think I have a chronic illness although I'm sure if someone diagnosed me like George you do have a chronic illness because you have to nap four times a day to feel normal. It's not normal right like, like I don't know but, and I have other distractions in my life right like, like, you know, and, and maybe the reason I have less distractions it seems like this, because I have done the work of keeping really good boundaries with my family, and with my friends and with my life right but that's all the stretching that I'm talking about here. That is all the stretching. And so, essentially, I, what I want, what I hope for all of you is to hold loosely or to just destroy the longer term timeline of what you're supposed to achieve by the end of the year. You know, it's like, play with it, fine. Let it, let it inform what your schedule is today. You know, and then, yes, I always still talk about, you know, productivity stamina you probably shouldn't create a sketch a full schedule today if you've never, you never follow your schedule. Ever, because you're, you're a hippie flower child like I used to be and like many of you watching this are, you know, follow schedule your, your spiritual your intuitive your special. I get it, but still how, how then do you succeed. I genuinely don't understand it. And so, it's like, at some point you kind of have to design some kind of schedule that works for you stepping gradually into it you don't start with a full schedule, you don't have to stamina for it yet. You have to gradually step into it. But, but then, um, then, then you have to be willing to see how slow the growth is at first and say, I can't notice that I'm my business is improving. I don't notice it, but I noticed that I showed up. I published the post on social media, you know, didn't get any likes. Um, but I just showed them the next day and I did it again. Didn't get, I got one like the next day. And the next week I got two likes, you know, it's like the subtleness of long term growth is so painfully slow that if you kept to a timeline of your goals you would be discouraged and desperate and say that you're behind and compare yourself other people. But if you instead say, Ah, all I care about is that I follow my plans today, whatever your plans are, you don't have to follow my sketch, obviously, your plan could be completely different looking than my plans. What I'm talking about is just your ability to plan your day and to follow your day, whatever that means for you, therefore setting boundaries with your family with your children, with your parents, with your loved ones with yourself, most importantly, and setting those boundaries and actually following them is the secret to success. And like to show up day after day after day after day after day after day, like I need to remind you perhaps you've made those of you who have heard my story and I didn't start creating content consistently until about 2014 2014. I started for the first time creating content putting out there consistently consistently consistently day after day after day. I started daily basically. And then eventually three times a week events two times a week and but it wasn't for two and a half years. So I don't know if you're willing to wait that long. If you're not willing to wait that long what are you going to do what's your alternative to hustle to use manipulative marketing which will get your results sooner it's true. But then it doesn't get you long term results because you don't really have an audience after that right like it's, I've tried all this before too, but it's like, yeah, I took me it took me two and a half years of showing up consistently before had a full time client load. Now I don't know at what point, like, it became full time I just noticed after two and a half years I noticed it all. And I barely have to market myself I don't have to sell much I just gently announced the things I have going on here and there I let go of the results, whether that their sales or not I let that go but I'm, I'm every single, you know, week as you can see. And several times a week usually I show up with content and every single month, I'm launching something you notice that right every single month I'm launching the next course or my group programs or or, you know, when I used to take one to one clients I would announce it every month. I just do it consistently sometimes some months note no sales. Let it go next month I'm back. But it's like the more you are attached to what this was supposed to work. The less you will show up consistently because you thought it was supposed to work right now because some marketing coach told you all follow this formula it's supposed to work. No, it may or may not work if you get zero sales you should show up next month and make a sale, make a make a launch anyway. How do you do that. It's because you don't care about the results. I don't care about the results. I care about whether I follow my schedule today whether I did this video and my video needs to be ended because it's almost 20 minutes and that's all I care I, I don't think this was a good video please do not like this video, you don't honestly have to I'm going to upload this anyway. You see what I mean like it's got to be this regular. It's got to be this regular and I don't care that this video is going to have few honestly I'm being serious. Don't like this video if you don't think this is better than my other ones. Right, like or if you don't think this is better than the other videos you watch do not like this because it sends me the wrong signal. Also, when I look at the stats, the stats are important. Like, oh, this one was good. Okay, do more stuff like that, but it doesn't matter to me whether this video gets zero likes or zero comments. I just come back the next Friday and do it again. And it's got to be that regular. You just follow your schedule. I don't care about the results, but the irony is if I just keep following my schedule day after day after day week after week. The whole time underlying this whole thing is joyful productivity. It's just a spiritual practice. The whole thing is a spiritual practice. I'm just practicing stretching out of my comfort zone. Being connection with the divine trusting the line, surrendering to the divine the results by God, it's up to you. I'm just trying to worship you dear God, you know, worship the worship your not worship whatever word you want to use but to dedicate yourself to your to your mission and to your values to dedicate yourself that's what you might say worship is that to dedicate yourself to your your higher potential and to show up and the whole thing is spiritual practice the results. Somehow they always take care of themselves they really do I mean you're still here. You're still able to feed yourself this month I'm pretty sure you're still able to pay for your rent this month and somehow magically next month, it will be the case as well. If you're not very good at making money somehow next month it'll work out trust me, I don't know how it works, but it just does. So, I hope this is encouraging a weird video but anyway, some ramblings from post post a deep nap, and I genuinely wish you more joyful consistency in showing it's just a spiritual practice, the results will take care of themselves the timeline will take care of itself, but do show up today and follow your plans whatever your plans are. Alright, he well. See you next time.
