UNTAPPED - Make more income and impact Natalie Sisson

So here we are. The final episode of the Untapped podcast...for now. 
As of December 1st I'm pausing my business, my team is 'on call' only and I'm heading off social media for all of the month, perhaps longer.
Why? As a business owner I get to make decisions around what's important to me and right now, nothing is more important than precious time with my darling son Leonardo Valison.
He's turning 4 months on December 9th and I've simply decided to take more time off to enjoy every moment.
In this final episode I share: ✅ Why I'm beyond grateful I've set up my business to tick along without me.
✅ Why I've closed my $10K Club for now and am not launching or running any more of my courses live.
 I'm financially independent enough to do this, thanks to investing smartly in my future from age 21, but more so since having this business.
✅ How being financial independent and investing smartly has allowed me to do this 
✅ What business I intend to dive into in 2022....when the time is right
✅ Why and how I'm taking a social media sabbatical for all of December

How often do you think about taking your blog to a million dollars?
And what does the road to $83K a month blog actually look like?
If you are a fellow blogger, or if you’re into launching your own blog, this will be a perfect episode for you.
Pete McPherson is a full-time blogger and podcaster at Do You Even Blog, a resource for income-seeking bloggers and online entrepreneurs.
He spends his days interviewing the world’s top creators & entrepreneurs, including names like Neil Patel, Matt Mullenweg, John Lee Dumas, Nick Loper, Michelle Schroeder, and many more.
Pete is also the CEO of Online Impact, a private membership community for online businesses.
Not only does he write killer blog posts and create a ton of great resources for bloggers starting out and more advanced bloggers, he’s also very open about what it takes to build a successful blog.
We had a really honest and entertaining conversation about setting big ass goals and then making them happen and Pete is not shy in opening up about his business – the good the bad and the ugly.
We also got real about things we’ve both done on our blogging journeys and the hard lessons learned. I think you’re going to enjoy this podcast.

How can emotional resilience help you hit your goals?
And what the heck is emotional resilience anyway?
Well you’re about to find out in this episode of UNTAPPED when you listen into my great conversation with Kim Ades.
Kim is the President and Founder of Frame of Mind Coaching and JournalEngine Software and is a recognized as an expert in the area of thought mastery.
She uses her unique philosophy and quirky coaching style to help her clients deal with core issues and shift their thinking in order to yield extraordinary results.
I first had Kim on my Suitcase Entrepreneur podcast 4 years ago where we chatted about limiting beliefs and how to overcome them.
What Kim shared was really valuable, and my listeners thought so too because that episode soon became one of the most downloaded!
So, when Kim reached out to me about coming back on the show, of course I said yes!
This time, Kim is back to share her 15 years of expertise on how to reach a goal.
Often times, we’re capable of creating a plan of attack, but where we fall off is in the actual delivery of that plan.
Kim explains that this isn’t because we’re not taking action but because our thoughts aren’t aligned with our goals.
And since every action starts with a thought, it’s vital that your beliefs match your expectations.
Make sure you tune into this episode because it really is a treat.
Plus, it comes at the perfect time of the year with 2020 quickly approaching.
If you’re ready to stop letting your beliefs hold you hostage and finally reach your goals, then hit the play button below!

In this episode you’ll learn:What keeps talented and driven individuals from reaching their goalsWhat “emotional resilience” is and how we can leverage itWhy Kim doesn’t recommend finding a work/life balanceWhat limiting beliefs are, how to become aware of them, and remove them from your lifeHow you can step into your full power and potential

Given we all have 24 hours in a day, I’m constantly surprised by how many people squander that precious time and waste it on things they know they shouldn’t be doing.
I see this all the time with my friends, loved ones and my peers, and do my best to share my knowledge on habits, time management and tools to help them. 
Most of the time they end up resenting where their time went and what they didn’t achieve.
So how can you avoid this?
Well, you can start by listening to this podcast episode where I divulge the 6 Rules to Finishing What You Start.
I’ve read my fair share of books and one of the most inspiring is Peter Hollin’s “Finish What You Start”. 
In this book, he shares his lifelong curiosity around how we manage our time and also why we don’t finish the things that we start. He then goes into a plethora of practical ways to reclaim our time and actually get things done!
One of the methods he suggests, that I found to be a real eye-opener, is creating a manifesto. A manifesto, in his words, is nothing more than a set of rules to follow everyday.
By having this manifesto as your guiding principle, you immediately place a value on your time and activities that makes you prioritize what’s important, and it acts as a guiding star for any new projects you may want to start, and to avoid any distractions that will inevitably come your way.
He also shares 6 rules to finishing what you start, and I divulge these on this podcast episode, but in a nutshell they are:
Rule 1: Are you acting out of laziness? If so, is this a characterization you want about yourself?
Rule 2: Three major tasks a day, maximum.
Rule 3: Create daily limitations and requirements for yourself.
Rule 4: Reaffirm your intentions by stating “I want,” “I will,” and “I won’t” statements.
Rule 5: Try to look into the future, 10 minutes, hours, and days at a time. Do you like what you see when you consider not following through?
Rule 6: It’s just 10 minutes, right? So if you want to quit, it’s just 10 minutes. And if you need to wait, it’s just 10 minutes.
I go into more detail on what each of these rules means and how to apply them and also share

So, here’s a question for you: Just how self-motivated are you?
Are you prepared to take charge of your goals and achievements? Or do you set goals, knowing you won’t really work towards them, because they scare your or are too complex?
This came up as a question from one of our lovely member’s Helen, in our Life Pilot Members’ Lounge call this week.
She shared the Mind Tools – The Self-Motivation Quiz with us.
I was curious about how self-motivated I was and figured I’d come out with a high score – just because this is one of my strengths – my internal motivation to be my best self, stretch myself and grow.
My total score was 51/60 which put me right up there, and piqued my curiosity as to what a high level of self-motivation actually meant, and how you could improve it.
Self-motivation is a fundamental tool for reaching your goals, achieving your dreams and succeeding in life.

In this podcast you’ll learn:Four factors necessary to build the strongest levels of self-motivation you canThe key ways to build self-confidence and self-efficacyHow to identify your strengths and use themHow to apply the power of positive thinking to your lifeFive goal setting principles that can improve our chances of successOh and the fourth factor is an external one, and it’s the reason behind my rather exciting news and a rather big change in how I work starting next week.
