Mindset Exercise to Jumpstart Your Goals

Jaclyn Mellone: Today, it’s just us. Today, we need to talk. I want to make sure you know this. I’m so excited. Hey, this is our first episode of the new year. So happy new year! I wanted to make sure that we had this talk as we kicked off the new year because I know you’re setting those goals. And actually, a side note, if you have not listened to last week, we put out two new solo episodes talking about goals, even if you’ve already set your goals. If you have not listened to those episodes, it’s not too late. You can listen to this, but go back and listen. Even if you’ve already set your goals, those two are must-listens. I’m just going to leave it at that. You need to listen to those two episodes. 

Normally, we do re-runs during a couple of weeks between Christmas and New Year’s. And I don’t know, I just felt this fire to get these goals episodes out to you last week. So, yes, two solos last week in case you missed them. Definitely go back and listen. But today, I wanted to talk to you about the next step because here we are, we’re in the new year. We’re in January. We’re getting the new year vibes going and we’ve set these goals, or maybe we’re thinking about setting goals. But likely, you’ve already set some goals or at least have vaguely envisioned some goals that you want for this. And what starts to happen as we go from the dreaming and scheming stage of the goals and the vision boards and the ideas and all of that to, oh, now we’re back to work. Now, we got to do the things to make the goals happen. And what tends to happen is a couple of things. This shows up differently for everyone.

Sometimes we’re just like, oh, those are great goals but I got to get back to work. I got these clients that I got to take care of, or I have all this other stuff going on, or I’m working in my job. And yes, I planned to get to those things. But it kind of gets pushed to the side or starts to feel like a luxury to work on our goals because of all these other pressing things. 

The other thing that can happen is this friction. And this is when we set a big goal. And in our mind, we’re like, yes, that’s what I want. And we can see it so clearly. But then we show up and we’re like, but I’m the same person and I have the same clients, or I have the same business or whatever it is. And there’s this big disconnect of where we see ourselves and our business going and what our actual day-to-day is. It can really create this friction especially internally where we’re just frustrated and maybe you don’t even realize that it’s there, but you’re annoyed with your team or with yourself, or just like with anyone you come in contact with. And it’s just like, that’s a lot of times how it spills out. I’m sure there’s a bunch of ways that it spills out. But when there’s that disconnect and we know what we want and then we’re super conscious of the fact that we don’t have it, it creates this frustration, this friction that’s really hard to then create and make all those things happen that need to happen to hit the goal from that place of frustration. 

Sure, we could channel that energy to motivate us. But a lot of times it’s just so discouraging or frustrating, and we beat ourselves up or everyone else around us. Not like literally, but you know what I mean. And it says not how I want you to start off the year. So maybe you’re not even thinking about your goals anymore, you’re like, what goals? That was so two weeks ago. Maybe you’re just frustrated with everything that your goals can’t happen in 30 seconds, or maybe you’re like smooth sailing. And you’re like, I got this goals thing. Those are other people, Jaclyn. I got this. Even if that’s you, still listen. Still, listen, this still applies to you. 

But, one, if any of those scenarios are you, those are all totally normal and they’re all totally part of the journey. And I know that that’s like, blah, blah, blah. Okay, Jaclyn, that doesn’t make me feel any better. But it should, because you’re not alone on these things. This is not you not knowing the right way to do the thing, this is just part of the process. And knowing that, I think, for me at least, helps be like, okay. Just like when you’re, this is a random analogy, but just go with it. When your doctor gives you medicine for something, if they tell you the side effects like, okay, this medicine is going to help you with this thing but you might have all these other symptoms too, is I just totally crunched a bag next to me. Sorry for that. I talk with my hands. You can’t see me, but just know that the hands are always going. Even now, it’s funny. Normally, I have my mic in. There’s like an arm, that’s what they call it, like a mic arm that allows me to have the mic really close to my mouth. And I don’t know, it connects to the side of my desk and blah, blah, blah. But I’m not at my office right now. I’m recording from, actually, my dad’s office. So I’m holding and I forgot to bring a mic stand. So I’m holding my mic. I’m like doing karaoke, only I’m not, I’m talking to you. And so I can only talk with one hand so that hand apparently is working overtime. Just bouncing into things. All right. I digress. 

Seriously, I don’t even know what I was talking about anymore. Where were we? It’s part of the process. Oh, your doctor giving you medicine? Yes. The side effects. And that way, when you start to have these random hot flashes or I don’t know, whatever the other side effects are, you’re like, oh, okay, that’s just part of, this is normal with the medication. So for you, for this year, one, if you’re feeling the frustration, if you’re not having the time to work on the goals, and even if you’re like, the goals are totally going to happen in 30 days even if you’re maybe in 30 days you’re going to re-evaluate, those are all parts, those are all normal. Okay, that’s it. 

That’s said, I have some journal prompts for you today because there’s something that comes up. And whatever ways this is showing up for you, there is something that happens internally when we set these big goals and then reality happens. We go back to our regular lives and business lives, and maybe we’re doing the things and we’re checking off the things on the checkbox. We’re doing the tasks in a sauna and moving things around in ClickUp. We’re doing the things, but it’s not just about doing the things. The goal is not just about the strategy. It’s not just about the implementation. It’s also about showing up as the person who achieves that goal. This is about you owning your go-to gal status, but you owning that person who has achieved those goals that you put down in that journal or in that planner app, or whatever it is that you’re doing on your whiteboard in your office. In my office, I have a pink board and there were lots of goals written all over it for a period of time. It’s about really becoming that person. And what happens is, is there ever like a mindset like, I don’t have time for that, or that’s where other people or that sounds cool, Jaclyn, but that sounds weird. Whatever your reason is, if you’re not focusing on the mindset part of that, what happens is we get this effect where we’re doing the things and it’s like two steps forward and then sometimes it’s one step back. Sometimes it’s 10 steps back. Sometimes it’s 10 steps forward and it’s like 10 steps back or a hundred steps back. I could just give you a million different number quantities of steps. 

But the real thing here that I want you to visualize is that you’re doing the thing, you’re doing your strategy, you’re going after those goals maybe with full force, maybe with a little bit of whatever leftover effort you have at the end of the day because you already have so many other things going on. But whatever effort in you’re doing there, if your mindset is not caught up with where you’re going, if your identity is not caught up with that person who accomplishes those things that you’re setting out to accomplish, you’re subconsciously going to hold yourself back time and time again. And as I’m saying this, you might start to realize that maybe this has happened to you in the past. And depending on where you are in your journey, maybe you haven’t experienced this yet. And this is something I want you to watch out for as you’re setting off on your journey this year. A lot of times we set big goals and they freak us out, and they freak us out whether we realize it or not because we’re not ready. Not like we haven’t done the things like maybe if you check off the things on the list, but our mindset is not ready, it’s not aligned with where we’re going. Especially, if we want to be exponentially growing, especially if we want to be making those big leaps this year, which I know you’re capable of. And I hope you know that you’re capable of it too. And again, back, if you haven’t listened to the goals episodes, definitely go back and listen to those. 

So, how do we do this? How do we have this inner transformation and become that person? Well, that is a big question. And this podcast is not going to be able to give you the full answer for that. That is work that I have done with clients over years. It’s work that I’m continuing to do on myself. And it’s not a one-and-done thing, it’s really having a commitment to working on your mindset over and over and over again. And it’s going to look different for everyone. However, something came up for me this week. And I went to a tried-and-true exercise of mine that really helped. And I felt a shift immediately. And as soon as I did it, I knew I needed to share it with you. 

So today, I want to give you this exercise. This journal prompt, if you will, to really help you get into that mindset, to get into that mind state of the person who is achieving those goals. Now, whether you are like, yes, I already got my goals or if you’re like I said before if you’re already feeling that friction, that frustration, or maybe if you’re already forgetting about your goals, it doesn’t matter. This exercise is for all and anything in between that I didn’t cover. Wherever you are with your goals, this exercise can only help you. And I encourage you to have some fun with it and actually do it because I know I say this and you’re like, well, duh. But the magic happens when you actually do it. 

Shocking, I know. But it’s one thing to listen to the podcast and be like, oh, that’s a great idea, Jaclyn. I’ll just file that away somewhere. But it’s another thing to actually put pen to paper and do it. So here is your exercise, or do you want me to tell you the thing that came up for me this week of why I did this? So maybe they’ll give some contacts to go through this. So this week, something really exciting happened. This week, and you might know this, you might be here listening to this episode because of this thing. And I should probably be like playing it cool like, oh yes, no big deal. That totally happens all the time. But I’d rather be real with you and share with you. So Forbes had an article of the 21 podcasts to listen to in 2021. And yours truly, your favorite Go-To Gal Podcast made the list alongside some of my favorites, Brene Brown, Amy Porterfield, and some of my friends, and gosh, my dear friend and partner, Farnoosh Torabi. Oh, it was an amazing list and I’m so honored to be a part of it. And what a way to kick off the year? 

So it was just like, this is just setting the tone and all the things. So when this came out, I reached out to a couple of mentors of mine and really wanted to share with them my appreciation and gratefulness for their place in my journey. This is something that I have wanted for a really long time. And I may have even mentioned it on here. I probably did. I’ve wanted to be on one of these lists. Literally, going back, I probably wanted it always in starting a podcast. But I remember it was at an event three and a half years ago and raised my hand to be like, how do I do this? This is one of my goals, is to be one of those lists of podcasts. How do I do this? Now, Go-To Gal and my last podcast All Up In Your Lady Business have been on a lot of those lists of best podcasts, favorite podcasts, podcasts to listen to that were on friends’ blogs and sites of fans’ blogs and sites, never on a site from the media like the Forbes.

So, yes, I saw those signs along the way. I knew it was coming and have always been so grateful for any exposure or acknowledgment of the work that I’m creating here, the community we’re creating here. That this Forbes article was really exciting. And so I took some time to really acknowledge like, wow, this is something I really wanted for a long time. And it’s just a pinch-myself moment that it’s here and it’s now and like, oh wow. And then back to my day, it’s like back to normal. Alright, I got things to do and kids and all the craziness of the week. Tripping over Christmas boxes that we haven’t put away yet. So I renew that I needed to really acknowledge this and give myself that true celebration of the milestone or whatever it is.

And for some people, being on that list is like, well, yes, I’m on 1200 lists. But for Go-To Gal, we’ve been around for two years. It’s actually, we’ll be celebrating our two-year anniversary next week. I’ve been podcasting for a little over five years, but this podcast has been around for just about two. And we have had just an incredible journey. And especially this last year, I’m so grateful for the growth that we’ve had. I’m so grateful for all of you who have been sharing with your friends and on social media. And we have had tremendous growth, grateful for iTunes, for ranking us in a few different categories. And we’ve had a good run this year, and I feel like we’re in a great place to take it further. And this was such an amazing milestone along that way to be like, yes, 2021, we’re here and we’re going for it. And I have big plans for us around here. So we will be bringing you in a little bit more about how you can be a part of that next week. So definitely listen next week, because we’re celebrating our two years. 

But sometimes when these things happen that we’ve wanted for a long time or that we know are a big deal but we don’t take a chance to really acknowledge what a big deal it is, or maybe we’ve come so far that we don’t even acknowledge that it’s a big deal. We’re numb to the things that other people think are a big deal. We’re like, well, yes, duh, that happens which was not at all the case for me with this, but is totally been the case with other things that once we get to a certain point, we just take certain things for granted. And that’s not the place that I want you to be in. That’s not the place that I want to be in. That’s not the place, that’s not the mindset, the mind state that’s going to help us grow. 

So your journal prompt, my journal prompt for this week, whenever you’re listening to, if you’re listening to this the week it comes out, great. If you’re listening to this five months from now, still do it this week. Okay, if you don’t do this at the beginning of a year for it to be impactful, but I want you to do it while you’re listening. I want you to do it while it’s fresh because if you put this off, you’re probably going to forget. So here’s the exercise. Here is your journal prompt. 

To start this off, I want you to get in the headspace of yourself. Zoom in back in time to five years ago. I want you to really just try to connect with that past version of yourself. Where were you five years ago? What were you doing? What were your days like? What were you experiencing? What were you struggling with? What were you dreaming of? Bring yourself back to that place. When I think back five years ago, I had just started my business six months before, I had just launched my first podcast a couple of months before. And things were exciting. I just launched my first membership. But things were also nerve-wracking too. I was pregnant and I had an almost three-year-old. So a little toddler running around, and I had another one on the way and I was throwing up every day. And I was really excited about my podcast, but also trying to figure out how to make money. And I had this membership, but it wasn’t making enough. And so then I was trying to start up this other consulting business and that seemed to be going easier. But it was like, how do I find time to do all of this?

And it was just, I was pregnant and I just looked at that due date like a deadline. Everything felt like it had to happen immediately. I was excited about where things were going, but also just really hard on myself and really frustrated that I was so tired all the time, that I was sick all the time, and that I just wished that I could be in a better place. And it’s interesting now with everything going on in the world. I so wish that I could be traveling and visiting friends and family and going to conferences. I just miss humans so, so much right now. And it’s interesting because thinking back five years ago, I realized for a lot of us like you might be thinking of a lot of those things that were happening five years ago. And like, gosh, I missed that. And that’s not the purpose of this journal exercise, but I want to acknowledge that there may be a lot of things that were better five years ago because the world was a healthier place five years ago. 

But it’s interesting because for me, as much as I, obviously the world was not in that state then, but I was pretty isolated then. I was working from home. I was by myself. I was really sick. I couldn’t really go to a lot of places. And so, I remember feeling frustrated and disconnected and like, gosh, I wish I could be out doing that. So why am I sharing this? Why am I telling you this? Because I want you to do this. I want you to get into that mind state of where you were five years ago. So you can be thinking like that person, like yourself five years ago. And I know you’re the same person, but are you? I know a lot has changed in the last five years. And you’re a little bit older. You’re wiser. Things have changed. The world has changed. You have discovered things about yourself. You have accomplished things. You have changed. 

And so I want you to really think back to that person. Go there and walk it out a little bit like I started to do a go deeper with this so you can really get into that state. And from that state, from that place, I want you to write your journal prompt. And that is, I want you to write a letter to your current self from your past self. And in this letter, from your past self to your current self, I want you to address three things or these three categories in the letter. I’m going to give you some creative liberties here of how you want to take on this letter. But there are three main categories that I want to prompt you within this letter to really help you, because the whole purpose of this letter is to help you see who you’ve become, to help you catch your mind up with the person you are now. Because if I had to guess, you’re not seeing yourself as I see you. You’re not seeing yourself as the world sees you. You’re not seeing yourself as your clients see you, as your friends see you, as your mentor sees you, as your family sees you. Whoever in your life, you likely haven’t caught up to that. And this is an exercise that can help you do that. And while, yes, I want you to go to that next level beyond it.

If we’re subconsciously still pulling from a past identity and maybe past means beginning of your business, and get past means an old job that you’ve had. Maybe past means feeling like a dork in the fifth grade. Whatever the past is, and it could be something painful or traumatic event that’s happening, and with that, I would definitely urge you to go to therapy if any of that stuff is coming up for you. And absolutely work with a professional through those things. I just feel like it’s important to say that in this coaching industry. A lot of times, everything is like, oh, just think positive thoughts. But there are certain things that you absolutely do need to have a professional to help you with.

But that’s it. When our sub-conscience is like in reality, we’ve done all this stuff. Clients come to me and like, I can see this. Oh my gosh, three years ago, I’ll never forget it because this has happened to me a lot over the years where clients are mirrors for me. And three years ago, I had a client say to me, I feel like everyone thinks I’m bigger than I am. And when she said that, I just felt this in my body. And I’m like, oh my gosh, I have felt like I was thinking this and like, I have felt that. And I don’t even know if I knew how to put it into words. I don’t even think I admitted to myself that I had thought that, and I had certainly had never said it out loud before but her sharing it with me helped me acknowledge that I had had the same feeling. And since then, I can’t tell you how many people have said this to me. And I think it’s a common thing because what happens is as we do these things and accomplish these things and people see us differently, but we don’t see ourselves differently.

We don’t allow our minds to catch up with who we’ve become. And that will continue to hold us back. So that’s what this exercise is going to help with. Okay, back to the plan here with the journal exercise. So you’re writing this letter from your past self to your current self, and you’re going to hit on three things. The first is, and it doesn’t matter what order I’m going to tell you in order, but you can pick your own order if you like to. If you’re like me, I can’t follow a recipe. I got to throw in a little something, something, or I don’t know. I like a swap out on ingredients. I don’t like to stay for my creativity. I going to give you some creative freedom here, and the order doesn’t matter. Okay, but for the sake of me listing them off to you is to celebrate. So I want you to, as your past self, celebrate all the things that you can think of that you have accomplished over the past five years. And really take pride. You almost want to think of it as a different person, because sometimes when we’re thinking about it for ourselves, we tend to be like, wow, but it wasn’t that big of a deal because or but it took me this long to do it. We just make excuses. If your best friend or your client or some random person and clubhouse was telling you this you’d be like, yes, that’s amazing. And be cheering them on. And I want you to just give yourself that same respect of celebration. 

So think of those moments, those key milestones, big, small doesn’t matter, what are the things that come up for you when you think about the last five years that you have accomplished, that you have challenges you’ve taken on? It could just be mindsets that you’ve overcome. It can just be little things too, but just celebrate those things, big and small, and think of as many as you can. And I know I phrased this as a letter, but if you like a list or like a bullet person, your letter can have bullets. Again, no rules here. So first is to celebrate. We want to celebrate those milestones, big and small. And I could tell you to do this as your current self, but there’s more resistance there. I want you to see it through the wide dreamy state of you five years ago of like, oh my God, you did this and you did this, and you got to do that with this person and what, that happened? 

I want you to just see it through those eyes. Not like, oh yes, it was pretty cool like trying to be a humble current self. I want you to see it from your past self of like what, and that happens? And you’re amazing. And look how far you’ve come, and who would have ever thought that was possible. Go back to that, please, and just experience those wins through that pure joy state. Okay, that’s the first one.

The second one is, and this one might surprise you but go with it. The second one is I want you to just validate yourself. There are probably some really boring things. Some really dull, very, I don’t know, it doesn’t seem like a big deal thing that you have done or you are doing that actually are significant. And that actually should be a big deal, but maybe society doesn’t view them as a big deal, or maybe you don’t historically view them as a big deal. But I just want you to validate yourself on those things. Maybe it’s like you’ve paid all your bills on time. Maybe it’s you’ve hired a team member. Maybe it’s, you know, for me, one of the things for me is having a team and really stepping into a leadership role with my team and developing my team. For the longest time, I would tell myself like, oh, I’m just not cut out to manage people. And I would hire people, but I’m not really the best at managing them or leading them. And I had all these stories. I have an amazing team right now and I actually just hired a new person today so we’re growing a little bit and that’s exciting. And I’m just acknowledging myself of like, okay, you can do this. You can get out of your own way. You can slow down enough to let other people help and support. And by going slower, we’re actually going further because it would happen before is, I would get all these ideas at the last minute and I would want to implement them right away. And it was thrown together and it was inspired. And it came from a good place, and a lot of times we get traction because I had that energy with it. But other members could never keep up with me. And because of that, I feel like I had a hard time keeping them on my team because I was always going so much faster and that wasn’t fair to them. And honestly, it wasn’t fair to me either. It wasn’t fair to the business. It wasn’t fair to everything. I’m like, I could just take this in a million directions. But I’ve grown a lot with that. And so I’m validating myself for that. Maybe that’s not a reason to say, maybe it’s a reason to celebrate. But I feel like that’s one of those things where it’s just like taking that minute to acknowledge maybe not like a big thing or a sexy thing, but just validating how maybe you’ve paid off some debt. Maybe you’re doing something now that you never thought like, oh my God, I’ve actually done a few videos this year or I produced a podcast this year and I never thought I could do that. I never thought I could show up in that way. 

So whatever it is, I want you to take some time to just think of those little things that maybe you missed on the celebration list and validate yourself. Maybe for the decisions that you’ve made, for the thoughts that you’re having, or maybe there’s something that you’re not on the other side of yet but you’ve hired a coach or a therapist or a doctor or whatever the situation is, or a bookkeeper. You’ve taken a step towards solving that problem, towards healing that problem. And validate yourself on that journey. So often, everyone’s just like, let’s celebrate and the confetti and blah, blah, blah. That’s great. Here I am saying the same thing. But sometimes it’s those little things that no one’s really cheering you on for, that you’re not getting all the likes and comments about. But it’s those little things in the day-to-day that makes such a big difference. Maybe are even bigger science of your growth as a human and your growth as a business owner, and your growth of how you’re able to make an impact on your own life and the life of others. So take a close word, get out that magnifying glass. What can you validate what you’ve been doing or are working towards on your journey?

And then last but certainly not least, the last thing I want you to address in this letter is to forgive yourself. And I’m going to leave this really open because I think it needs to be. But I want you to think about all the coulda, shoulda, what is. All the coulda, shoulda, what has that come up when you think about yourself back then, when you think about yourself now, when you think about your journey A lot of times we’re like, oh, well, I could have done that or gosh, I would have been able to do this so much sooner if I would’ve done this, or whatever it was. Maybe you’ve made some bad investments along the way. Maybe you made some bad hires. Maybe you’ve just had a rough go of it. And this could be recent. It could be things that have happened this year. These could also be things that have happened over the past five years. It’s could also be things that you’ve just been hanging on to way before those five years. This could be going back. 

But as your past self to your current self, whatever’s coming up for you with the woulda, coulda, shoulda, any of those things where you’re just like, you’re still holding on to guilt or shame or resentment or anything that you’re blaming yourself for, anything that you’re down on yourself for, anything that feels like a reason for you to not fully celebrate, anything that feels like, gosh, if I would’ve done this, I would’ve been better off. Anything like that, that you’re really blaming yourself for still holding onto some guilt or shame around, whatever it is, whenever it happened, I want you to forgive yourself in this letter. And depending on what it is, this may take a lot more work than just writing it in a letter to yourself to truly forgive yourself. But I want you to, as much as you can, pour that energy of forgiveness into this letter. And from that, that person you were five years ago into that person you are now who you should be so gosh darn proud of in everything that you’ve done, whatever it is, I know you’ve grown in the last five years. I know you’ve invested in yourself. I know you’ve shown up for yourself and for others in ways that you never even thought you were capable of. I know you’ve done so much and it’s about time that you know it. It’s about time that you celebrate it and validates it, and stop letting these other things get in the way of you fully experiencing who you are now. 

So throw it in there. What are you forgiving yourself for? Maybe it is simple. What if it is as simple as you just writing in this letter that you forgive yourself for some of these things? It might not be, and that’s okay too. If it’s not, this is the start. This is bringing you awareness to the fact that maybe that’s holding you back. And if you feel a shift after this, maybe that’s all you needed. Maybe it was just something little that you didn’t even realize was there. But writing it in this letter from your past self to your current self just allows you to release it. So there it is. There’s your letter, there’s your assignment, there’s your new year’s prompt for really recognizing who you are and starting to step into that person who you’ve become but also who are becoming. Because from that place, it’s going to be so much easier to step into that next version of that person you are who’s achieving those goals you set out to do this year by fully owning where you are right now. And just acknowledging how amazing that is, because sometimes when we’re looking at where we are right now, we’re looking at it from the contrast of where we want to be. And we’re like, oh, I’m so far from there. Or I’m not at, you know, when we’re judging ourselves based on where we want to be, but I want you to flip it around and truly celebrate and validate and acknowledge how amazing it is that you’re here right now just like this and everything that you’ve done. 

So that is your pep-talk to kick off this new year. I am so excited to see the shifts and the success and the celebration and all that’s to come this year. And I truly hope you commit to doing this exercise so you are leaping in, going after those goals but all from that right mind state because that truly makes all of the difference. 

Alright, well, that is a wrap for today. As always, I am cheering you on. And if today’s episode resonated with you, if you know someone else who needs to hear this, please share it with them. I would so appreciate it, and I know they will thank you for it too. Also, I have a favor to ask. So, you know I mentioned that Forbes article earlier, well, I would love it, there are so many amazing podcasts in that article of the 21. The 20 other podcasts are amazing as well. And I’m so honored to be a part of that lineup. And I know that there are so many entrepreneurs out there and those who want to start podcasts who are looking for podcasts, especially with female hosts to kick off this new year. If you could share this article and help get in the hands with friends of yours, followers of yours, your community, I know that it would help them just to see how many other podcasts are out there that they could be doing what you’re doing and getting content that is going to help them grow as individuals and grow in their business or get their business started. 

So I’m going to make the link. I made a pretty link to this, so it’s super easy to share. If you go to jaclynmellone.com/forbes, it’s going to take you to that Forbes article with the 21 Podcasts for 2021. It’s not called the best female podcast, it’s 21 Podcasts for 2021. But all of the podcasts featured are female-hosted podcasts, which I think is pretty incredible by the way. And I would love to get this out there to more people. So if you would be kind enough to share, I would so appreciate your support. And if you go to jaclynmellone.com/forbes, you can get that article and send a text. Share it on your Instagram Stories. Put it in your newsletter, wherever you want it. Wherever it feels good for you to share. I would so appreciate it. Oh, and if you’re totally digging this hole like, oh yes, I know I need that, that mindset and truly becoming that person who achieves your goals, go back and listen to episode number 88. Actually, a friend of mine, shout out to Glenn Allen, The Glenn Allen Show, he just shared this on Instagram. And I was like, oh yes, that is such a good episode.

So if you go back to episode number 88, it is from last December, and it talks about some of the things I’ve talked about in here. But it’s a bit longer. I think it’s longer. I have no idea how long this episode is, I’m just talking. But it goes into a little bit more detail. It does not give this exercise. It’s just a different approach from it. I think it’s called the Mindset of Momentum. So if you want to explore a little bit more on this topic, go back and check out that episode. Definitely do your exercise. And if you haven’t listened already to the goals episodes from last week, you got those to go binge on too. Alright, happy new year. So excited to have you in our Go-To Gal community. Stay tuned.
