b'5 questions to help you get really clear on what you want\\nGetting clear on what you want as a business owner sounds like it would be easy, but in reality, it can be pretty tough \\u2013 especially if you\\u2019re a one-woman show in the early stages of business.\\nI get it. When I first went off on my own, I felt the need to say \\u2018yes\\u2019 to everything because I didn\\u2019t want to leave any opportunities on the table. I had no idea where to spend my time or focus because everything felt equally important.\\xa0\\nBut let me tell you, sweet friend -- giving your time and energy to things that do not serve you is a one-way ticket to some serious overwhelm.\\xa0\\nThat\\u2019s why it\\u2019s so important to get really crystal clear on what you want now, so you don\\u2019t end up spinning your wheels on things that don\\u2019t bring value to your life or business.\\nIn this episode, I revisit a conversation I had with my dear friend and mentor, Marie Forleo, who\\u2019s done a lot of work in her own life to get laser-focused on what\\u2019s important, eliminate overwhelm, and manage her time like a boss.\\nYou\\u2019ll hear the two mantras that Marie lives by, as well as a series of questions that you can ask yourself to help identify what\\u2019s important and let go of what\\u2019s not.\\nHere\\u2019s a glance at this episode...\\n\\n[04:01] When you know what\'s important, you can ignore what\'s not.\\xa0\\n\\n[06:07] Ask yourself: What do I want? Journal about what you want. Start writing whatever comes to you.\\xa0\\n\\n[06:54] Then ask: What do I want in the next 365 days? Journal this too.\\xa0\\n\\n[07:01] The final prompt is: What do I want in the next six months? Doing this exercise will create clarity.\\n\\n[08:26] Make an effort to say no to what is not going to serve you. This is one of the hardest lessons I\'ve learned.\\n\\n[09:17] What are the top three to five projects that you need to focus on? No more than five. If you\'re a one-person show, no more than three. What do you need to let go of in this season to focus on what\'s most important.\\n\\n[13:20] \\u201cI don\'t do overwhelm.\\u201d Saying that you are overwhelmed does not serve you.\\xa0\\n\\n[16:42] When you\'re overwhelmed, confused, or stressed, put your head down and think what can I do to move forward in the direction that I want to move, and things will start to make more sense.\\n\\nRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts\\n"I love Amy and Online Marketing Made Easy." <-- If that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing my show!
