Setting targets for 2012 has been a focus for many business owners over the past few weeks. I’ve watched myself sitting on the fence, not getting caught up in the frenzy of activity, but still being totally willing for this year to be my boldest and most brilliant yet! What has stopped me from making detailed plans is the sense of conclusion and limitation that comes with defining an outcome. I have a sense that so much is possible beyond what I am aware of right now, and if I make plans and follow them blindly, I risk not allowing the true possibilities for boldness and brilliance to show up in my businesses. So I’m experimenting… for the first six months, I am taking a totally different (and some would say bold!) approach to the standard goals and planning that most people do!! I am going to operate my businesses and my life from a space of asking questions and awareness. So what does that look like?
Questions to Play With…
- What could this be like if I didn’t have a fixed point of view?
- What future could I create here that is not defined, but is greater than what I currently know is possible?
- What do I desire to create today that will expand my future exponentially?
- What would be fun for me to have as my reality in business?
- What can I be, do, have, create or generate today that will make my businesses more successful right away?
- What could I do differently that would work for me?
- What choice do I have right now that will make me money today and in the future?
- Who or what can contribute to me to make my life and business easier today?
- What do I have the capacity to create and generate right now that I never had before? (And what would it take for me to be willing to choose that??)
- What question can I be, that if I would be it, would create more change and awareness for me?
Awareness of the Process (so far!)
- There are many more questions beyond those above… asking questions every ten seconds will allow new choices, possibilities and contributions to show up with ease.
- I’m not looking for answers; just awareness of what else I could choose that could expand my businesses exponentially.
- There are no lessons to learn… just the possibility for greater awareness and more joy and bliss!
- I am following the energy rather than following the plan.
- Rather than being stuck with a defined purpose that cannot create anything greater, I am creating the capacity for priorities which can shift boldly in the moment.
Using these tools, 2012 has started with a bang! Projects are getting finished, I have launched a new business in just under a month (from concept to launch!) and the choices for creating something greater in each of my businesses are flooding in effortlessly… and all without a definitive plan!! So what else is possible? More boldness… more brilliance… and much beyond that! Wanna play??
