Are you on fire bringing in the new year?    This part of the year especially artists feel like they are so alone and they are the only ones going through what they are going through.    Everyone is setting goals this time of the year right? You have to know the UGLY facts of where you are at. If you don't truly know where you are at, then how can you get to where you want to go?     It's one thing to create a vision board. But you need to know exactly where you are.  You can't pretend it's sunshine & rainbows.  You can set goals and go in circles. Or you can choose targets & goals of the FACTS of where you are at, THAT will actually get you to see the results you are looking for. THAT will propel you to where you want to go.    Think of it this way, think of your maps on your phone. You first have to type in your current location. Then you have to type in where it is you want to go. Then you push start and it will start directing you to your destinations. Sometimes there are going to be road blocks, and you just need to reroute.    The route to get there might change along the way, but the destination is always the same.    Instead of sitting here waiting for things to “turn around” or get better. You have to take control of your own life. THings are not going to just “get better” if you do nothing about it.  If you’re going to set targets & goals, you MUST make movements & make changes.    BE INTENTIONAL with what you are doing. BE consistent with your goals.    None of us are perfect. When we are first behind the chair we are saying one thing but yet we still are doing all the little things like discounts, adding clients and taking things that we really don't want to do.    How many times have you told yourself a story that didn't allow you to look at the facts?    To hit the goals that you want to hit, you are going to have to make bigger moves. You are going to have to commit to not only yourself but your goals.    If not you are going to revert back to the place you are trying so hard to get out of.    Once you get firm in what is actually happening based on the facts of your reality. Once you get clear on those things, you can actually see the real target that you are after.    If your dreams don’t scare you, they are NOT big enough. Ask yourself what would have to be possible for you to have EVERYTHING you want.    Entertain those ideas.    What would you have to do, to allow yourself permission to get what you wanted?  … What would you have to do in order to get the thing that you’re wanting?Who would you have to be?    Once you start entertaining THOSE thoughts, you are going to start to see that the path is really clear on how you get there & THOSE thoughts and feelings are whats going to fuel your commitment to those goals.    SO ask yourself, is this possible? Ask yourself HOW to make it possible?    The only one putting restrictions on yourself is YOU.    So give yourself permission.  Permission to entertain those thoughts.  Permission to see what is possible if you were to become THAT person.  Permission to commit to your boundaries.  Permission to commit to your goals.    Ready to give yourself permission to join the movement of Artists breaking the mold of what it means to be a hairstylist?   The NBR® Online Course is now available!
