my audience

wow. today is all about the venting and blabbing....

as i looked at my last newsletter, i wondered who is my audience? who do i want to send and offer my knowledge and tools? i honestly believe i still don't know, but i'm okay with that right now. however, i know one of the things to have a successful business is to know your audience/population that you're serving. so i guess i need to reevaluate. cool! i'm glad i realized this now. i'm happy for myself that i came to this conclusion. i'm not judging or beating myself up. in fact, i think i want to look back at some old notes from classes i took about this subject. review and rekindle the mind, body and soul.

i remember from my holistic coaching program, my life's purpose: i am love and acceptance. perhaps i have new one brewing: i am contribution, inspiration, and joy!

hey, now that feels good. let's do more: i am connection and integration. well, that's actually the first line of my mission statement. but that still counts because it's true!

i am compassion and abundance. that one doesn't feel as true to me, and it may be the "abundance". I associate this word with money too much, even though i know deep down that's not what its all about. but, hey, something to inquire within.

so this was a great vent because i know now i won't feel the need to rush getting my march newsletter out. this year has been a lot about self-evaluation, self-inquiry and self-care. i'm more present with myself, and i hope this will guide me in connecting and attracting MY audience.

Proactive in my biz

I want to be more proactive in my business.  I'm practicing my biz part time right now, which is fine, but I'm starting to get that itch for more.  I've had this itch before, and usually made some excuse as to why I can't do it.  Yes, I have some debt to pay off and the full time job is helping with that. I'm also seeing results! Something that I thought I wouldn't see...literally. It's happening!! So why not move forward with my passions. what I really want to do.

I have a rough checklist in my head of what I want to complete; however it's always better when you write it down:

1. Redo my website on weebly and transfer my domain by Sept 20
2. Complete my remaining massages classes on Sept 26 (already done)
3. Set up meeting with student coordinator at massage school by August 27
4. Submit my application for massage license in SF/CA with fingerprinting and photo by October 20
5. Teach a movement class in November

I like five items. If I add more, I get overwhelmed and feel I gotta do it all.  That's where I stop being proactive, and more reactive.

My progress so far is going pretty well with #1.  I'm still working out some kinks with the new website, but overall, I feel great about it.  #2, I'm already signed up for the remaining massages classes I need to complete, so I already feel it's done!  #3 is easy and takes 5 minutes.  #4 and #5 will come once I have my meeting with the SC to see how much I have left in hours, and solid ideas set for teaching a movement class. 

It's all stuff I want in my life.  So I want feel joy and excitement in my body about them; while I'm doing them; and when they get done.  Even if little bits get done, I'm going to celebrate that!
