EP.44. Goal Setting In A Multi Dimensional Reality

EP.44. Goal Setting In A Multi Dimensional Reality

Why is it that some goals happen and some don’t? How come that some goals happen better than imagined initially? Have you been setting goals via visualisation, repetition, or the law of attraction or some other way that has been tapping to the 3D reality you are living in?

Goals really do work when set in an away that interacts with all dimensional realities... oh and several other factors come into play.

Traditionally, most people have been taught how to set goals only using our five sensors.

But here’s the problem.

We are actually setting goals and outcomes in business every day but doing it unconsciously, this has a lot to do with why women are not reaching the financial freedom they daily contemplate about.

Here at The Conscious CEO, we are passionate about helping entrepreneur create greater thing beyond what they see themselves.

So, where do you start?

How do you set goals and make them work?

EP.42. Bulletproof Entrepreneurial Mindset

EP.42. Bulletproof Entrepreneurial Mindset

Do you think things are taking longer than they should? Are you ready to throw in the towel and quit because it seems like your goals are never going to happen? Don’t. Transformation doesn’t take place immediately. It takes baby steps to get where you want to go, not one giant leap.

According to the Bureau of Statistics, more entrepreneurs than ever are starting their businesses. This statistic is excellent news and a trend we should all celebrate.

But here’s the problem.

While we’re starting businesses, women are not reaching the same financial success as many men’s businesses.

Here at The Conscious CEO, we are more committed than ever to turn that statistic around.

So, where do we start?

How do we shift our mindset in creating the business success you keep desiring?
