Happy New Year 2022

From the Changing Course family to your family, we wish you a New Year filled with joy, happiness, prosperity, and peace. We look forward to being a resource for you to explore having the life and livelihood you love in 2022.

To Your Dreams,

What are Your Goals for 2022?

If you are ready to begin your journey of changing course to have the life and career you love in 2022, we want to provide you with ideas and resources to help you do just that.

So, before you go any further, take out a pen and paper, or use your smart phone, tablet or computer to write down your goals for 2022. Once you have them all written down, try to break them into up to 12 smaller steps that you can take to achieve each goal.

Now, add deadlines to your steps. It can be as simple as by the end of January, I will…, by the end of February, I will… and so on. Keep your steps simple and create realistic deadlines.

We know that the Changing Course network includes people at all stages of their journey.

• You may not yet have an idea that interests you enough to pursue and monetize. We will continue to share money-making ideas.
• You may have an idea but have not pursued it due to fear or uncertainty. We will be sharing resources on overcoming obstacles and creating a limitless mindset.
• You’ve started to pursue an idea but need more time or money to continue. We will offer information and resources on making time for your dreams and managing your money to achieve your goals.
• You may have a small business or side hustle started and want to know how to grow it. We will be sharing resources on growing your business and customer base and connecting with others in the Changing Course network to learn from those who may be a few steps ahead on their journey.
• Maybe you haven’t even given yourself permission to think about what you want your life to look like or what it might be like to escape the job world. We know it takes planning, so early in 2022, we will be launching the 10 Steps to Escape the Job World course. Stay tuned for more information.

Wherever you are on your changing course journey, let’s work together in 2022 so you can take the next step, and the one after that, and so on until you achieve your goals.

Money Maker: Seasonal Subscriptions

 We’ve covered several money-making ideas that are indoors or online, but we know that some of you prefer to work outdoors, and many enjoy working with their hands.

This week’s money-making idea is an annual subscription for seasonal work. It is a great business idea to start at the beginning of the year and get people signed up for all of 2022.

Many homeowners have spent time trying to find someone to do snow removal in the winter, someone to trim shrubs in the spring, someone to mow the lawn in the summer, and yet someone else to rake leaves and clean the gutters in the fall.

The seasonal tasks may be different depending on where you live, but there are always seasonal outdoor tasks that need to get done.

Locating people to take care of these pesky, but necessary, tasks can be frustrating.

What if you offered a subscription to do all of these things or whichever ones you want to do on a subscription basis. Packages may vary based on how frequently the homeowner wants the lawn to be mowed or the leaves to be raked.

While snow is unpredictable in many locations, some years you may remove little or no snow and some years you may remove a lot of snow. The subscription ensures you have a consistent income and ensures the homeowner a predictable bill even in heavy snow years.

LIMITING THOUGHT

I Don’t Deserve Success.

For some reason, you believe that you don’t deserve success–that you’re not good enough, smart enough, or lovable enough to be worthy of great success.

You may not use those words, but that is your belief if you think that others are worthy of success, but when you look at your own life, you don’t believe that you should or will experience success too.

Your limiting belief is that you are not worthy of success. This can seriously limit your progress, because you can’t achieve big things if you don’t think that you deserve them.

NEW THOUGHT

I am Worthy of Success.

Ask yourself: who is worthy of success?

The answer is EVERYONE, including YOU. Every person who diligently applies themselves is worthy of achieving success in their chosen field or pursuits. And you should experience success too.

Your new belief becomes, “I am worthy of all the success in the world.” No matter what anyone has told you, you deserve success and all the benefits that come with it.
