Hello and Happy Sunday!

I hope 2024 is providing you with gifts and blessings so far.

I know the world continues to accelerate into ‘crazy’ and my prayers go out to anyone affected by war, tyranny, ill health etc. and their families.
I am praying for peace, prosperity health and happiness for all.

Podcast Update – Choosinghappypodcast.com

I have taken time to reassess my podcast and how I want to present it going forward, in light of all that is happening in the world.

I want to tackle real problems while keeping the focus on resilience, presence and joy, and spotlighting what you want for your life, irrespective of what’s happening elsewhere.

I heard a beautiful interview yesterday where Sara Landon reminds us that what we focus on adds to the collective of the planet. If I am focusing on war, then that’s what I am giving energy to. If I focus on peace then that’s what I give energy to and expands.

Whether you agree or not, I think it’s worth considering each time I check in with where I am putting my energy and attention.

Look out for new episodes and a new series on the Choosing Happy Podcast.
You can check the most recent episode (Episode 54 - all about mindset, time and goal achievement ) on your favourite podcast app or on the website at www.choosinghappypodcast.com

My Weird Win for the Week

I set a goal at the end of 2023 to take African Drumming lessons.
I have been lucky enough to live in South Africa for a while and have attended a 1 Day workshop on playing the djembe many moons ago. I was rubbish!

I really struggled.

My controlling logical, conscious mind wanted to be in control and that’s not how drumming works.
Drumming helps you build new neural pathways so that you use more of your brain.
That part fascinated me and it was obvious that I could do with a bit ‘brain growth’.

That’s why I set the goal. To get better at something I struggled with and expand the use of my brain.

Now I live in the middle of nowhere, where there hasn’t been a workshop held anytime while I lived here, and I have been here over 7 years.

The Universe has provided a miracle!
Low and behold a new workshop for African Drumming began at the school last Saturday and is a community project so it’s also free of charge. What a gift!

When you think something is highly improbable the universe can show you otherwise!

Don’t give up on your dreams.

Talking about goals. Is your attention on the goals you set for your Business for 2024?

Here are some tips or implementing change in your business to help transform your results.

Create a New Year’s Resolution Revolution in Your Business!

Every year when January comes around, the new year offers us a unique opportunity for our lives and businesses: either we can continue with the status quo, OR, we can do something new, exciting, and even revolutionary!

Now, you may be satisfied with your current progress. “Why change what’s working? Why rock the boat?”

And chances are, if what you’re doing is working, you’ll continue to enjoy incremental growth – but are you satisfied with that? What if you could experience radical growth?

Historically, when a revolution occurs, it focuses on making monumental changes to the status quo. A revolutionary change isn’t satisfied with incremental growth, but dreams and longs for something entirely new, exciting and explosive.

I can’t tell you what revolutionary changes you might want to make in your business. Only you can do that. But I can suggest some ways to go about brainstorming, exploring and implementing some revolutionary changes in your business.

Below are 5 steps you can take for creating a New Year’s Revolution in your business:

1.  Dream big! Any kind of revolution usually begins with a dream.

Dr. Martin Luther King is a prime example. He boldly declared, “I have a dream…” and he proceeded to live out that dream to make it a reality.

What’s your dream? The movie, The Bucket List with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, popularized the concept of creating a “bucket list” of things we want to experience before we die. In this context of revolutionizing your business, I’m not talking about this “revolution” as one of many items on your bucket list.

Instead, what would you really like to see your business accomplish? What legacy would you like it to leave? Whose lives would you like to see it impact for good? What kind of income would you like it to provide for you and your family? How might your business fulfill your bucket-list wishes?

Dream big and write down your dream.

2. Assess your current reality. Be brutally honest with yourself in this step. Ask yourself the following questions and others like them in view of your big dream:
3. What currently gives me the most joy in my business?
4. What is most financially rewarding?
5. What elements of my business are flops?
6. What elements are stellar?
7. What new facet, direction or enterprise do I long to begin?
8. How would I rate my business overall on a scale of 1 to 10?
9. What needs improving?
10. What part of my business drains me? Can I quit this part, delegate it, make it simpler or more pleasurable?
11. What current trends or competition threaten my business?
12. What safeguards do I have in place to protect my business?
13. How do my customers/clients view my business?
14. How do my family and those closest to me view my business and benefit from it?
15. What kind of legacy is my current business liable to leave?
16. How is my business serving others for good?
17. What other questions do I need to ask?
18. Evaluate the gap between your current reality and your dream.

You’ve written down your big dream. You’ve assessed your current reality. Now determine the gap between the two. For some, the gap may be minimal. For others, you may discover you’re not even working in the right business! Again, write down your findings.

4. Seek outside counsel. None of us is totally qualified to work through the above steps alone. We’re too close to our business to be entirely objective. We need an outside source to help us see the whole picture more clearly.

Either engage the help of a business coach or a trusted friend. Spend time going over your observations on the first three steps.

A professional coach is trained to ask you questions and to probe areas you wouldn’t normally think of. Your coach may

not give advice but will draw conclusions from you that you feel confident about and comfortable with. Your coach will also help you view your life holistically and prevent you from compartmentalizing your business to the neglect of relationships and other vital areas of your life. Together, you can formulate clear next steps.

5. Put your plan in motion. Revolutionary changes in your business and life usually don’t occur overnight. They take time to plan, organize and implement. The key is to take action.
   Prioritize your steps and begin implementing them.

Evaluate and document your progress. As the year progresses, contrast your new reality against your former reality. Adjust as you need to along the way. Your coach can help you stay on task and move forward.

New Year’s resolutions are notorious for never being fulfilled. That’s why we’re proposing a New Year’s Revolution for your business.

Dream big and make changes that will make a difference in your life, in your business, and in those you serve.
