WHY JOIN YOUR PATH FORWARD?
Have you ever created what felt like the perfect plan, only to fall behind and feel defeated?
Or maybe you have a pretty clear idea of where you want to go, but there are so many steps between here and there you have no idea where to start or how to move forward?
Building a business and living the life of your dreams is not easy in this day and age. We see everyone’s path and strategy being played out in real time, and everyone keeps shouting at us that we HAVE to do it their way, or we’ll miss out.
And the fear of missing out is REAL. (I mean, that’s why we have a name for it right? FOMO is a thing!)
When we have a sense of who we want to be in the world and the things we want to achieve, the gap between where we are now and where we hope to be someday can feel impossible.
How are we ever going to get WAYYYY over there when there are just so many pieces that need to fall into place?
BELIEVE ME, IF YOU FEEL THIS WAY, I UNDERSTAND.
For the longest time, I would set the perfect yearly goals and map them out on a calendar, color coding my book releases and intentions. It was always super exciting, because I could see the potential... If I could just follow through.
But there's where the problem came in. A strict yearly schedule that depended on specific deadlines as my main strategy never seemed to work for me, because inevitably, life would happen. Someone in the house would get sick or an unexpected obligation would arise.
I would make it about two weeks or a month into a new year before my entire strategy was off-track and suddenly felt less than ideal. At that point, I’d fall into a depression before I finally had the energy to get back up, make a new plan, and start again.
I always thought the problem was ME.
What I didn’t realize was that the problem was the plan itself. I wasn’t leaving any room for flexibility and normal everyday life. I wasn’t taking into consideration that creativity doesn’t always come on a schedule or respond to deadlines.
I knew that if I wanted different results, I would need to plan in a different way. But how did I even get started? There were so many possibilities and it seemed like everything was important. Sometimes, it felt like I was drowning! I couldn’t keep up, and I couldn’t make decisions.
That’s when I started using something my business mentor, Amber McCue, and I came to call a GameBoard Strategy.
Think of a GameBoard. Something like Monopoly or CandyLand. You roll a die or spin a wheel and it tells you what your next move is going to be. Usually, there are spaces in a row on a board leading from “Start” to “finish.” The objective is to make it around the board to the finish line as fast as possible.
There’s structure to a GameBoard, right? A solid path to follow to get to the “win.”
But the actual gameplay is different every time. Sometimes, we roll a big number and jump ahead. Sometimes, we land on a space that sends us back five paces. Sounds just like life to me!
A GameBoard Strategy applied to goals is the process of creating a solid, structured path to follow that remains flexible enough to account for life’s ups and downs.
In Your Path Forward, we’ll spend one day together, and I’ll introduce you to a series of steps that will help you develop your own GameBoard Strategy.
Basically, we’re going to identify your big-picture finish line and map out the path to go from where you are now to where you want to be…In the most strategic way possible!
We’ll focus more on the ORDER of operations rather than the DEADLINES.
Let me tell you, once I started following this type of strategy, everything changed for me. I quadrupled my income, created an amazing community, and had full clarity on what my priorities were. And it just keeps getting better!
The inaugural live round of Your Path Forward took place on January 27th, 2024, with a mix of livestreams and pre-recorded content.
When you purchase the course after January 27th, 2024, you will still have access to all the same content, but the live components will now be available on replay.
During the first live replay, we discuss the Domino Effect and how every project you complete should be triggering the next project until you reach your next big milestone. This is also a massive pep talk and inspirational message moment that will have you feeling excited to take on the course's work!
You'll then go through a series of 6 pre-recorded videos. Each video will have a detailed set of decisions and actions for you to go through to start mapping out your own, customized GameBoard. At this point, you’ll work through your GameBoard Strategy Workbook.
During the last live replay, I show you methods to gamify your goals and follow through on your plans.
There is also a Facebook Group and a Discord Channel for all our course participants to interact, ask questions, and collaborate. I’ll be monitoring these closely throughout the day and answering questions and giving suggestions all day!
After the course is over, I’ll continue to offer support in the groups for the following month to answer questions and help you make your way through the workbook.
The people who will get the most out of this class are those who already have some idea of where they want to be in 3, 5 or 10 years. You don’t have to know specifics, but if you have a clear overall vision and are just looking to map out your path of how to get there, this is going to blow your mind!
If you have no idea what career path you want to be on or what kind of life you want to have, this course might not be as effective for you. We’re going to spend the majority of our time creating the roadmap / GameBoard that will lay out the steps from where you are now to that future vision of where you want to be in the next 3, 5 or 10 years. If you honestly have no clue where you want to be or what you want to be doing, this probably isn’t the workshop for you.
If you’re an alumni of HB90 and have a clear idea of your vision but just want more clarity on the long-term piece of the puzzle? This will be GOLD for you. It’s the perfect companion course and will take your HB90 Planning to the next level.
I have a suspicion this course will expand much like HB90 has over the years. I’ll continue to add tools and resources, rerecording when I have more clarity on the process after teaching a thousand students how to run through it. Over time, the price will definitely go up, so this is a wonderful time to get in on the ground level and be a part of it from the start.
Once you’re in, you’re in for life. That means you’ll get free access to all new updates, resources, and livestreams in the future. And if you don’t agree that it’s well worth the money, I’m happy to offer a refund within 30 days, no questions asked.
