Man, do online business owners love to share the WINS. 10k months, 6-figure launches, passive profit, the list goes on. That shit is amazing but let’s get real, we’d all rather know how the hell they got there. What you don’t see behind the outcomes are the steps, the challenges, the setbacks, and the mindsets it took to get there. We’re being fed a lie, that you can create an online business and “never work again” because you’ll love it so much. I’m here today to tell you that anything in your life that you really want WILL require work, it will require doing the work, and there will be a TON of moments of discomfort. Just like our emotions ebb and flow, so does the pace of our creative projects and how things come together. It’s incredibly liberating to realize that your business doesn’t have to feel “good” all the time, it allows you to come at the work you do in the world from a place of reality, consistency, and truly set up a plan for yourself so you CAN be sustainable and create your joy.

Let’s make one thing crystal clear. There are no rules about WHEN you must listen to or take part in this ceremony/guided workshop. It can be December 31st or well into the New Year. You can listen to it after a chapter of your life is ending or just before a new one is about to begin. You can listen to it in July before you get ready for the new school year or when you need to center yourself. Unnecessary rules are just that, unnecessary. Before you hit play or keep listening I also need you to know how excited I am for you to listen to this episode. This workshop was originally created in 2016 when I was just starting my business and when I was still extremely nervous about speaking into a microphone or doing a live workshop. I’m sharing this audio with you today because this is a powerful workshop and I still get messages from people asking me about it and if it will ever come back - so here it is! It will involve you doing some work. It will most likely require you to hit pause, to get real with yourself, and to ask yourself some big questions. This used to be part of a larger paid program I offered back in 2017. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to join one of my courses, workshops, or online group programs, this is just the tip of the iceberg. I also want you to know that you can listen to this in podcast form but you can also watch along with the workshop video and download the PDF Worksheet by going to MindfulProductivityBlog.com/closingceremony If you find this episode helpful, please share the crap out of it, and leave a written review on iTunes.

Creatives are amazing people. They get up, go out into the world, do their job, and they often come home and do even more for the sake of creativity and bringing their gifts out into the world. In this week’s episode, Marisa Mohi joins the podcast and we talk writing and productivity. She shares how she creates a balance between being a regular human (and not a writing robot) and consistently writing her novel and so much more. My favorite part about my conversation with Marisa is how real, honest, and down-to-earth she is (even though she can write 10,000 words in a day!). You’ll love Marisa’s personality, her approach to writing, and how she approaches writing from a place of self-compassion and productivity. Marisa Mohi shares the struggles of being a writer with a day job on her blog and YouTube channel and loves to discuss creative productivity with anyone who will listen. She's launching a writing coaching service to help other writers get back in the habit of writing and to build their online platforms so they can market themselves and their projects.

I'm guilty of this often with myself. The "have tos" start flooding in. The feelings of "if I don't do this or get this done, the world will end" It's in those moments I have to take a step back and ask myself, will it? ....like really? Urgency can serve us in powerful ways. It can serve as a tool to get us to take action, it can get us to jump into an opportunity we might not otherwise. It can be a great way to get those around you to take action, too. But for today, I want to take a moment to talk about the importance of doing the "un-urgent" things. In this week's episode, we'll explore the mindset behind urgency and how you can begin to truly prioritize what's most important.
