Goals don't happen without a plan

Katie McManus argues that dreams stay dreams without a concrete plan. She walks through how to turn vague goals into actionable steps, then invites you to her free 12-day email series and monthly group coaching calls to build your business roadmap.
Foreign. Good evening. I'm Katie McManus, business strategist and money mindset coach. Coming to you live in a few different places on the interwebs. We are on the Facebooks, LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter, and over here on Instagram on my phone. So if you see me kind of going back and forth, that is why just readjust this. A little housekeeping. Okay, so sometimes. Not always, but sometimes on the Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter. It's for Streamyard. I don't see all of the comments, like, they just don't come through to me. So if you're commenting and I'm not shouting you out, because I love this to be interactive, please know that it's not you, it is our technology. Sometimes it just doesn't work. And I don't want anyone ever to feel like they are not being included in this. Unless you're saying something rude, in which case. No. No. Thank you. Chastity. Oh, my God. So great to see you, girl. Hope you're doing great. Oh, man, oh, man. There's so much exciting stuff happening. Tomorrow is the kickoff of the 12 days to stop being a weenie and make 12. Or, sorry, six figures in the next 12 months. Hello. Hello, Joe Gibbs. Welcome. This is my gift to my community. So you all know that song, the twelve Days of Christmas My true love gave to me. And then they list off all the annoying birds because apparently they're all birds. Okay? It's all birds. 12 mates of milking. That refers to a bird. Okay? Drummers, drumming. That is a type of bird. That is a ton of birds. Okay, I'm doing ripoff minus the birds. We're not doing any birds in my. In my little gift. Okay? The 12 days to stop Being a Weenie is all about the 12 parts of your business that you have to figure out if you want to make six figures, your first six figures next year, in the next 12 months. So if you want to register for that, then you want to go to the link in my bio and just register for the 12 days to stop being a weenie. It's very simple, short and sweet. Every day for the 12 days starting tomorrow, you're going to get an email in your inbox. And some of them will have videos, some of them won't, but they will all be short and sweet and to the point, teaching you the different aspects that will help you grow your business to six figures. This is my gift to you. Okay? This is free. You can pass this link around if you want your friends to have it. Go ahead. But day one starts tomorrow and you do not want to miss day one. It is a foundation that everything else will be built on. But I think if you email me and you're like, I miss day one, all things, I might send it to you. You, I just might. Nice like that. Anyway, but yeah, next year, let's take it by storm. Let's, let's, let's just not hope and wish and dream for things to work out, okay? In my description of this live, I talked about Cinderella. I used to be obsessed, obsessed with Cinderella. Okay? When I was 2 years old, my hobby was literally sitting on my kitchen floor. You know, two year old girl, blonde hair, bangs, like blowing the bangs out of my face with a bowl of water and a roll of paper towels next to me. And I would just like wet down the floor. I didn't have soap. I was just constantly making sure that the floor was wet. Because, you know that scene of her, like she's scrubbing the floors and there's bubbles everywhere. I was convinced that like, that was me. Right? It's not like the fun part of being Cinderella. It was like the slavery part of being Cinderella is not good. Not a good look. Okay? Anyway, she, she set a bad example for us. She set an example of, I think the like typical manifesting angle that a lot of us get attached to. It's that like, well, if we think about it a lot and we talk about it a lot and we like have a vision board and we're like dreaming about it, it's gonna happen. No, it's not. It's absolutely not going to happen that way. If you want something to happen, if you want something for your life, great. I want you to focus on it. Yeah. I want you to talk about it. Yes. Vision boards. Great. Or vision boards. Not vision boards. Vision boards. Amazing. But a dream is not a goal until you have a plan. If your dream is to have a super successful business where you get to help people, you get to do the work that you love, and you get to make good money from it, you need to create a plan, okay? The only way it's going to happen for you, unless you have a fairy godmother that I don't know about, is you have to get to work. You have to do shit that is outside of your comfort zone, okay? You have to commit to doing things that scare the bejesus out of you. You have to stop being a weenie about a whole bunch of things. And I know that. Scary, scary. I know that being brave is not all it's cracked up to be. Okay. I think. I think bravery gets, like, a really confused brand, right? Because when we think of bravery, we think of the person that's, like, in it, like, in the arena, fighting the battle, and they seem super confident. They, like, have the sword and they have the rippling muscles and they're sweaty and, like, you know, they're fighting and they're surviving. That's what we see from the outside. What we don't see is on the inside. They are scared shitless, okay? They're watching a threat coming from here and there and there. They're worried that, like, they have a cut on their calf that's making them walk funny. They're questioning if they're gonna be able to survive. Okay? That bravery does not feel good in the moment for the person who's being brave. As business owners, it feels silly to feel like you need bravery to post on social media or to go live or to sell an offer, right? And yet when we get in those moments, that's exactly how we feel. We're like, oh, my God. I mean, this is danger zone. This is absolutely dangerous zone because I've never done this before. And if I do it wrong, what if they reject me? What if I get kicked out of the tribe? What if they chase me down the street with pitchforks and torches and I'm never allowed to come home again to see my kids and my dog? It's really scary. It's really scary. And so I just want to remind you, like, there are so many different support systems out there for whatever brave thing you're wanting to do, if you're wanting to get healthy, so many support systems if you're wanting to start a business. Hello. Hi. Yeah, lots of support systems with me and with other business strategists out there. If you want to change jobs, they're incredible mentors, coaches, career strategists that you could absolutely work with. Whatever it is, you know, you can continue wishing and dreaming about it and it probably still won't happen, or you can take action. You can do something that will change the likelihood that it will actually happen. I vote the second one. I think that's going to be a lot better for you if you don't have a lot of money. There's so many resources out there that are for free that you can lean into. Two that I offer is a. The. The 12 days to stop being a weenie, which starts tomorrow. You can sign up for that. And number two, every fourth Friday of the month, I offer brave biz Labs, which is a free group coaching call that I offer to my entire world. And if you want to register for that, you can go to the link in my bio. Brave Biz Lab, free group coaching call. Literally, you can show up and ask any question that you're struggling with in your business, and I will offer free coaching and strategy. It's an hour long. Also, if you're just not sure, if you're like, I just need to, like, try on this idea of getting business support. You don't have to be on camera. You don't have to ask any question. It is all participation is optional, okay? You get to do what you want. But the one thing I don't want you to do is to continue sitting alone in your house, playing out your dreams in your head and just thinking of all the reasons why you can't have it. Because that's bullshit. You can absolutely have it. I believe in it for you. And I know there's a part of you that believes in it, too, or else you wouldn't even dare to dream about it, right? We don't dream about stuff. Like, I'm not dreaming about being, like, know, 5 foot 11. I'm 5 foot 6. Like, I'm not gonna grow another 5 inches. That's done for me, okay? That boat has sailed. And even, like, even if, you know, I were younger and I hadn't grown yet, like, it still wouldn't be an option. Right? I'm probably. Yeah. Like, I'm not gonna dream about being an astronaut or a doctor at this point. Like, I'm not interested in it. For one, space terrifies me, but for two, like, it's just unreasonable at this point, it's not something I want. Right. If you want it, I guarantee you there's a way for you to have it. Right? There's a reason you want it, and it's possible for you anyway. So stop dreaming. Stop. Stop wishing for your fairy godmother to show up. She's not coming. So, sorry. I hate to be the bearer of that news, but it's true. If you want to join the 12 days to stop being a weenie and make sense six figures in 12 months, then I want you to go to the link in my bio and I want you to register for it. It's going to land in your inbox tomorrow morning. And every day for the next 12 days, we do wrap up before Christmas. And it gives you direct access to kind of how I strategize with my clients. You know something that I was thinking about? When I was putting it together is that it's really hard to create, like, a roadmap that works for everyone, because there's no roadmap that. That works for everyone. It's just not possible. Okay. It just doesn't work that way because, you know, two people who have similar personalities probably want, like, vastly different businesses, and yet two people who have the same type of business. I'm sorry. Yeah. Vastly different businesses, and then two people who have the same business but have different personalities and goals and value structures, like, they're going to want different things from those businesses. I can tell you right now, like, my coaching business is very different from how other people do their coaching businesses. You know, lawyers, there are lawyers who set up their firms in all different kinds of ways. If you're looking for a cookie cutter plan, this is not it. That's not. That's not what I do with any of my clients in my group programs or in these free kinds of things that I do. I come up with principles that you need to figure out to be able to formulate your own plan. Okay. These are principles like, like figuring out your niche, learning how to market the things that are getting. Going to get in your way if you let them. Mindset blocks, really deciding that this is the time figuring out how much you need to charge per month per client so that you can make six figures next year. I cover all of this in this program. Okay. And it's free. Okay. And it's something that I really want. If you're. If you're registered for it and you're going to be getting these emails, I want you make it your own. I want you to, every single day, when you get the email, really do some thinking and do a little bit of work on it to figure out, is this the thing that I need to be doing? You know, because your business is going to be, like, unlike anyone else's. Right. This is one of those reasons why those coaches who sell like that, this is what worked for me. So it's going to work for you Courses, they rarely talk about the results that they get their clients. Right. Because the results they get their clients aren't that good. Because what works for them is probably not working for all their clients. You know, I'm really excited about the results that my clients get. They get incredible results because I formulate their strategy to them. Right. And that is the difference it makes. That is what moves the needle for them and their businesses so they can be more successful faster. So anyway, if you want a taste of that then register for the 12 days to stop being weenie and make six figures in 12 months. And again, it's six figures in 12 months. Because this is not a get rich quick scheme. That's not something we're doing here. We're building a solid foundation for your business to be able to grow to however big you want it to be. Right. But you can't do that quickly. You have to do that methodically. You have to figure out step by step exactly what you want to do. All right, so again, that link is in my bio. I hope to see you in there. I hope to be getting emails from you over the next couple days answering the questions that I ask and to see you in Brave Biz Labs. Anyway, I'm Katie McManus, business strategist and money mindset coach. I will be going live again with you tomorrow, so keep an eye out for me then and have an amazing Monday night, everyone. And Chastity and Joe, thank you guys so much for joining. If anyone else joined and I didn't see you, then I apologize. I just didn't see your comment come through. Anyway, have a great night, everyone. Bye.
