Did you know....

There's only 10 more Mondays left this year! 

How's yours going?  

I've been thinking of you and rooting for you <3   

I'm off to USA this week to work with my mentor which feels like the right decision but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't feeling anxious and a wee bit emotional about leaving Maxi behind.  

It's my first time leaving him for more than a day since he was born 21 months ago and it was a big decision to make - but I know deep down its the right one for him and his future and for Charlie, Maxi and I as a family.   

Because isn't that the way it goes sometimes? You need to do the thing that feels scary and uncomfortable to reach your next big breakthrough. I need to trust my gut feeling that although there will be tears and separation in the short term, this is the right move to create a future where I have even more time being truly present with my little man.  

When I am in Orlando, Florida this weekend I won't be at the theme parks, I'll be mostly indoors for 3 intensive days working with my business mentor on my mindset. We will be focusing on helping me connect with an even bigger version of my mission and kicking my inner critic into touch (you know those stories we roll out usually in a critical, judgy voice!) The voice that if left unchecked, can stop me from becoming everything I can be and growing my business to a greater level of impact and positive force for change in the world. She is NOT getting to drive this car!   

When your business is born from your personal struggle (as mine was) it's often a way to express your deepest love and healing to the world. My business is most definitely my first baby! It really is an expression of my soul and the way I want to create a meaningful legacy in the world. So it's a no brainer to me to invest my time and energy to allow myself to be supported in this way.   

I have always worked with business mentors and coaches since creating my business nearly 5 years ago. Life did not always fit in with my plans - but having the support of someone else who had been there, seen it and done it before me has always provided me with confidence, comfort and support when I needed it most. And I am fortunate to have worked with some of the most amazing, hardworking and successful business mentors on the planet!   

As we close out 2019 I already have an eye to 2020 - I am so determined to make it the Best. Year. Yet!   Are you?  

I have an exciting vision of the future for the next 5-10 years so finishing 2019 in a great place and starting 2020 as I mean to go on is the golden thread that runs through all of my plans and priorities in my personal and professional life. With this strong sense of alignment it helps me feel clear and confident that my trip to the USA is the right decision - no flip flopping - I'm ALL IN!   

So to prepare for a successful and guilt light (I'd be lying if I said completely guilt free!) American adventure, we had a fun filled family weekend enjoying nature creating meaningful memories. This week I am only focusing on serving a handful of my beloved coaching clients to enable me to have as much quality time with Maximilian as possible before I head off on Thursday morning.   

I am preparing for my time away by focusing on what I want to gain from this investment of my time and having crystal clear objectives along with deciding to fully immerse myself in all the amazing processes and activities that we will undertake.   

I'm even packing with more care and deliberation than usual so I don't need the excess baggage created by the 'just in case' items. You know the ones right?!   I know exactly what I need, to be who I want to be.   

No more and no less. It feels good!   

And a lot lighter!   

What are your goals for the remainder of 2019? What results will give you the wonderful feeling of completion and satisfaction?   

What can you pay attention to NOW that will help you end this decade and start 2020 as you mean to go on?  

I'd love to know :-)   

Until next time I'm sending you lots of love,   Mel x
