Does it sometimes feel like you simply don't have the time to take a timeout for planning? But then get frustrated because the things you want to change don't ever change?
Let me share a story that may inspire you to try...
So, I just got back from my annual business planning retreat which I've been doing with my dear friend Karen Black for many years now, for our respective businesses. See below and please note bien that messy hair is allowed on retreats!!
We take two days out of our year to think about our goals, our accomplishments and talk through difficult decisions and change. We take time for our personal goals too. As well as lovely meals, yoga breaks and walks in nature.
The most interesting part of this process is, every year when I start preparing for our retreat, I review my notes from the previous year and consistently discover how uncanny it is that everything I said I would like to do... I did. Everything I said I'd like to change... I changed. Everything I said I wanted to consider... came to me. Maybe not exactly in the way, shape or form that I expected. But somehow it happened.
Hmmmm.
Maybe it's the power of thinking and planning. Maybe it's the power of intention. Maybe it's the power of motivation. Or all of these forces combined. Either way, it works. So, if you're looking for a little encouragement to try something like this, reach out. I'll be happy to share more about my experience.
