Today is Oct. 2nd and we're experiencing a new moon and a solar eclipse!

In this episode I'm going to share my personal method for creating a New Moon Vision Board!

Research shows that visualizing your goals increases motivation and improves your chances of achieving them.

There’s a center in the brain called the RAS that helps focus attention. When you consistently see images related to your goals, the RAS prioritizes this information, making you more aware of opportunities and resources related to your aspirations.

These images literally engage your subconscious mind, helping you to attract opportunities that align with your desires.

So a vision board can be a powerful tool to help actualize and accelerate progress towards your goals.

Here are the journal prompts I followed in my own practice:

• What can I forgive or let go of this new moon?
• What goals do I want to achieve over the next month? Be specific.
• How do I want to feel in the process of achieving that goal [in my business? in my relationship? in my body? (Think about emotions like joy, empowerment, or creativity.)
• What habits or practices do I want to cultivate to support that goal?
• What affirmations can I choose to support these goals?
• What tools or resources do I have to support this goal?

You can follow the steps laid out in this episode to craft your own New Moon Visioin Board and I'd LOVE to see what you make!

👻 Ok so you got ghosted.

An occasional ghosting is actually a nice wake up call to help keep you humble - but here’s the important lesson:

You can’t allow the Ghoster to become the reason that you don’t go right back out there and continue to serve your community and attract those people who are ready to step into your world and want to work with you.

Online business is an energy exchange and there are lots of reason why this ghosting may have happened, but in today's episode I'm going to share a mindset shift that helps you move right on past this experience and keep shining your light.

I'm spilling the tea on:

• the likely reasons why they ghosted you in the first place
• what it means about you and your business
• how to craft a rock-solid mindset about this so it doesn't impact your sales

Listen, even the big marketing gurus get ghosted and in this episode, I even share a story about the time I ghosted a coach and why I did it. Keepin' it real out here folks.

Don't let the ghost steal your energy!

Drop a comment, share a story or leave this episode a review so I can keep reaching more solopreneurs and help them overcome the ghosts!
