October goals
Setting intentions for October:
Gratitude
I liked how I was grateful for the consulting gig in Sept and just focused on delivering it well. Some love practising gratitude by journaling, but that always felt forced to me. How I prefer to express gratitude – through actions. So maybe Oct can be similar – find something I’m grateful for, and focus on doing it well out of gratitude.
Not difficult to come up with one. My consulting gig is still ongoing, in the final stages of post-production, report-writing. I’ll continue to focus on that.
On top of it, there’s a shorter consulting gig for 1 week in mid Oct - will also focus on being grateful for it.
Alignment
Alignment is working. Being genuine in how I want to project myself online and how I live had been a deep source of satisfaction. It feels good. I want to continue aligning to my inner compass this way.
After having this epiphany about how I succeed when I help others, I think I’m onto something big here, for myself. That could be the driving mechanism I can make my product(s) succeed. Just find a way to consistently help people directly. The rest will follow.
Groundwork
Lay groundwork for product work to come in Nov
Prepare mentally, think through what I want to do, how I will review and do things differently. I feel a new, different season coming. A new season to how I work on my products, how I show up, how I project myself, how I connect.
Plan how I will do things differently, not based on what someone successful said but based on real data.
Onwards.
