!!BUILD A BETTER YEAR WORKSHOP!!

I made an announcement on social media this week. I'm writing a book in 2023!!

WHEW. That seems like a huge undertaking. So I'm doing two things:

  1. Announcing publicly. (Box checked. I am now accountable to roughly 10,000+ people on social media, email and IRL. There's nothing like a public shaming to make you do THE THING.)
  2. Break the task down into smaller steps. (See how below.)

โ€‹

โ€‹

I'm attending the Build a Better Year Workshop with my sweet friend and project manager extraordinaire, Christa Hutchins, of Do a New Thing.

โ€‹

Christa will lead the live workshop and review our plans, answer questions, and help us get unstuck.

โ€‹

Weโ€™ll have time to implement and walk away with a first quarter plan and first week to-do list ready to go.

โ€‹

AND!!

โ€‹

You'll learn a strategic planning system you can use all year long to refine your plans and make progress on your goals, without giving up your favorite planner or to-do list app.

โ€‹

(That favorite planner thing strikes a chord. I'm pretty passionate about my Cultivate Planner, so I'm glad to know it's not a wash!)

โ€‹

Christa understands the tension we Christian writers, speakers, ministry leaders and business owners feel. That delicate balance between making responsible strategic plans while still trusting God to show up and do what we could never imagine.

โ€‹

That's why I love her! And, that's why I'm trusting her with my 2023 book planning.

โ€‹

What are you planning for 2023? Do you want help and accountability?

โ€‹

(Are you writing a book, too?)

โ€‹

The Build a Better Year goal planning workshop is on Saturday, January 7 and you can use the code BUILD10 for $10.00 off the workshop. (Isn't that nice of Christa? She rocks.)

โ€‹

โ€‹Head over here to learn more about the Build A Better Year workshop and sign up.โ€‹

โ€‹

"What's the book going to be about?", you ask.

โ€‹

Heh, heh. GREAT QUESTION. Lmk if you have suggestions. We're starting at ground zero here.

โ€‹

(Maybe Christa will tell me. But then that would make her a mind reader instead of a project manager. Also probably a genie since I don't even know my own mind on the matter.)

โ€‹

Join me for the workshop? (And tell me what my book should be about?)
