I’ve seen it so many times! Ambitious coaches ready to grow their business with an oh-so-ever-abundant river of ideas.
Ideas of freebies they can create, communities they want to grow, programs that they want to create, and strategies that they want to implement.
On one hand, it’s a beautiful problem to have…
Having so many ideas to grow your business is 100 times better than not having any idea, right? Well yes, but also… It can keep you STUCK! Oftentimes for way longer than you’d like to admit.
Have you ever had an idea that lit you as if you were the wick of a pumpkin spiced candle, woken up, opened up your laptop, and started working on it like a crazy scientist only to find that a couple of days later you had another idea that took over your entire focus?
The dangerous thing here is not that you have a lot of ideas, it’s that ‘ideas hunting’ becomes a cycle that doesn’t let you follow through UNTIL you fully execute on at least one of them. Which in turn steals your ability to achieve results. Which ultimately leaves you feeling defeated and frustrated because your business is just not moving forward.
Which is why today I wanted to share exactly how YOU can honor your business ideas and still achieve goals like a true CEO.
Today’s advice is simple but will make all the difference, pinky promise!
Remember how I was saying that having too many ideas is better than having no ideas, well that’s not necessarily untrue. Having a river of potential ideas is a beautiful thing, it’s nothing that you have to fight against per se.
Instead, having too many ideas is actually something that you’ll have to NURTURE the right way if you want to crush your goals moving forward.
If you let new ideas derail you from your trajectory every single time, you will start to wonder if achieving your goals is really possible. It’s not that it’s not, it’s that moving from one thing to the other is keeping you from seeing what’s possible.
So HOW do you honor all the magical ideas that your wise soul is whispering to you on a daily (sometimes hourly) basis?
You create your very one Ideas Journal (told ya it was simple).
An Ideas Journal is your very own oasis of ideas where you honor all your ideas and hold them tightly in a safe space where they never ever have to actually disappear… All while granting yourself permission to not execute on every single idea that crosses your mind right away.
The reason why an ideas journal is so powerful is because it helps you build a healthy relationship with your ideas, which I believe have a life of their own. They enter your mind and get whispered by your soul for a reason, because they want to come alive. Ignoring them, is disrespectful and feels limiting.
Honoring them, on the other hand, is a well-mannered way of saying to your ideas, “I see you, I hear you, I honor you, and I hold you tightly in this Ideas Journal until the soil is right for you to grow through me”.
Your Ideas Journal can look like a physical journal, a special note in your iPhone, or even a new section in Asana where you list all your ideas under tasks. The medium is not as important as the DECISION to create your very own magical oasis of ideas.
I hope if this blog post today does anything, it inspires you to keep dreaming up new ideas like Walt Disney dreamt up new characters…. Most importantly I hope it inspired you to give yourself permission to pick one idea and focus on that until you’ve brought it to life.
Otherwise, your ideas will stay like energetic nudges that never turned into physical form.
Tell me in the comments below, what ONE idea are you fully honoring and trotting forward with execution to make it come to life?
