Planning Out Your 2023 Starts NOW

Thursday Jan 12, 2023

As we are halfway through the first month of 2023, have you checked in with yourself? How are you doing? Are you taking action towards your goals? As the year begins on a good note, it is important to take the time to plan out your year. In today’s episode, host May Yeo Silvers teaches listeners how planning for the year can help you live a more intentional life.

Many entrepreneurs feel like they can’t accomplish everything they want to because they simply don’t have the time. But according to May, we do have the time for the things we want to do, we just have to be better at planning for it. So when planning for 2023, you want to start with the big major events like holidays, weddings, and vacations. Then, you want to take a look at any industry events and block those times out. And after you have planned for the non-negotiables, you can look at what time is left for the extra things and it becomes easier to plan your day-to-day schedule.

Even though it may seem extreme to plan a year in advance, it really can set you up for success. Once you have done it enough times, you will create new habits that free up your time to do more of what you want while still achieving all of your goals.

Getting Help To Attain Your 2023 Goals by Saying NO

Thursday Jan 05, 2023

Host May Yeo Silvers starts off the new year by helping you attain the 2023 goals that you set for yourself during her goal setting series. In today’s episode, she discusses how saying no is another way of asking for help.

Many people struggle with saying no. If you have a hard time setting boundaries for yourself, there are many ways to practice saying no in different ways. Instead of saying no outright, you can ask questions such as, ‘can it be done later?’ This way you can determine if what you’re being asked to do is actually worth your time. When people are more discerning about asking for help and they know you are willing to say no, it becomes more apparent when someone actually really does need help.

You cannot reach your 2023 goals completely on your own. It will take a support system and the best way to reach your goals is to begin training that support system now. By saying no and letting people know to only reach out for help when they truly need it, AND vice versa, you can begin to train the people around you to respect your boundaries and to be the supportive village you need.

Quotes

• “The reality is to attain what you have set out to attain, it takes a village.” (2:54-3:02 | May)

• “In order for us to have stamina, in order for us to gain momentum, and continue with the momentum, we need to learn that one person doing it is good. Many people helping you to push you to move forward is best.” (5:32-5:54 | May)

• “You'll be surprised if you open your mouth, people are willing to help. You know why? Because it has shown that when we help someone we feel good about ourselves.” (7:39-7:49 | May)

• “There is another way to ask for help apart from asking someone to help you to do something. Another way to ask for help is to say no.” (9:34-9:44 | May)

• “Saying no to negative thoughts will be the first step.” (11:36-11:40 | May)

• “In order to get a buy-in from your village, your village needs to know what is the end goal? How's it going to benefit me?” (18:01-18:09 | May)

2 Things That Will Sabotage You Attaining Your 2023 Goals

Thursday Dec 29, 2022

As host May Yeo Silvers continues to expand on her series regarding goal setting, it is important to be aware of things that might hinder your success. In today’s episode, she discusses the two things that can sabotage you from attaining your 2023 goals.

In 2023, it is May’s hope that every listener achieves their goals. But in order to do this, you must follow the process. First by setting intentional goals, then developing an action plan to get there. But once these goals are set and you have an understanding of what steps you need to take, there are a couple of things that might stand in your way: time and belief. For many people, the reason why they didn’t achieve their goals is because they claim they did not have enough time. However, May explains that the number one thing that gets in people’s way of success is their own beliefs. If you don’t believe that you can achieve your goals, you won’t make the time to work towards them. But if you believe in your heart that you can accomplish what you set out to, then you will dedicate your time looking for solutions to get you there.

Everything starts with a belief. It’s not enough to just say that you want to do something, you have to believe that you can. So coming into 2023, if you make the choice to believe in yourself and your ability to take the right steps, there is no reason why you shouldn’t achieve everything you want and more.

Quotes

• “When people share what the obstacles that are blocking them from attaining their goals, the very first thing that comes out from their mouth is, ‘I don't have time.’” (02:09-02:25 | May)

• “If you don't have the belief that you can attain your goal, would you actually make the time to attain the goal? No.” (03:50-04:01 | May)

• "I don't believe in speaking it into existence. I believe in believing it into existence. It all has to start with a belief.” (04:43-04:46 | May)

• “If you don't believe that you can do it, no matter how strong your why is, it's not going to work.” (05:59-06:06 | May)

• “There are so many of you who believe that your circumstances are going to determine what you're going to get. That is absolutely false. You are in charge of your emotions. You are in charge of your beliefs.” (23:49-24:05 | May)

Auditing Your Schedule To Attain Your 2023 Goals

Thursday Dec 22, 2022

Now that you have established your goals and created an action plan to go with them, you must make sure that you have the time in your schedule to follow through. However, you also don’t want to over do it to the point where you give up. In today’s episode, host May Yeo Silvers discusses how to audit your progress over the year so that you can sustain your goals.

Whenever we make new goals, we are asking ourselves to develop new habits that are outside of our norm. And because we are not used to living this way, it can be easy to give up and not achieve them. Rather than shocking ourselves with unrealistic expectations, it is first important to understand our internal programming. Once we recognize our patterns, we can then evaluate our routines and find the time to work towards our goals. But the true key to success is holding ourselves accountable. If you check in with your progress every week or month, you will be able to routinely evaluate whether or not you are on track.

Asking ourselves to do the work is easy when it is fresh and new, but as time goes on, it gets harder and harder. But when you take the time to make small actionable steps towards your goals, and you remain consistent on auditing your progress, you are way more likely to achieve anything you set your mind to.

Quotes

• “If you are planning to incorporate more exercise in your schedule, that means you need to find time to go to the gym or meet up with your trainer to exercise. Everything requires time.” (03:47-04:02 | May)

• “If you don't see instant gratification or results you can get demotivated. So what happens? You stop showing up.” (04:30-04:40 | May)

• “When you're trying to attain a new goal, you’re asking yourself to develop new habits, new thinking, and a new way of living that basically goes against what your current programming is.” (06:23-06:47 | May)

• “Asking your body to adapt to a new change is going to be easier when it’s fresh and new. But as the days pass, and as time passes, and you don't see instant gratification it’s going to be really hard.” (07:02-07:27 | May)

• “Self-auditing is my secret weapon to the growth that I have been getting in the last two years.” (09:14-09:21 | May)

• “If you're able to do minor tweaks, you have a better chance of having sustainability. And sustainability means consistency which means that you're going to see results at the end.” (14:46-14:56 | May)

• “There needs to be a plan. If it's not on your schedule, it doesn't exist. If it's not on your calendar, it doesn't exist. That's why I encourage you to write things down. When you write things down, you hold yourself accountable.” (16:11-16:26 | May)

Investing Your Money to Attain Your 2023 Goals

Thursday Dec 15, 2022

Over the last couple of weeks, host May Yeo Silvers has been talking about goal setting for 2023. Not only does it take intentionality and action to achieve your goals, but it also takes your time, money, and resources. In today’s episode, May guides listeners through the process of investing their money to help achieve your goals in the new year.

When we are setting our action plan to achieve our goals, we have the choice to go about it in two ways. We could use our own sweat-equity to get the job done, or we could hire someone for their expertise to help expedite the process. Either way you choose to go, you must first ask yourself whether or not this goal is something you can do on your own. But if you choose to hire someone, you should understand that you will be using your hard earned money so you must take this investment seriously. Be upfront and direct with your expectations and make sure that whoever you hire knows what you want to achieve and how you want to achieve it.

Just like with anything, investing money into your business is a process. But if you want to attain the goal badly enough, you will find the money to help you get there.

Quotes

• “When we set our goals and determine the action plan, we have a choice of using sweat equity– meaning we can do and figure out everything by ourselves to get to the end result. Or we can expedite the process by using money to buy time and expertise.” (01:45-02:09 | May)

• “Working with someone can seem like an easier path, but it is also a financial commitment.” (04:08-04:17 | May)

• “Before you make the commitment to invest your money in hiring help, you have to ask yourself, ‘can I do it by myself?’” (06:45-06:50 | May)

• “If you come to the conclusion that you want to hire someone, you have to be so clear about your expectations.” (08:59-09:09 | May)

• “When you're thinking about putting aside money to invest, it's a whole process.” (13:38-13:44 | May)

• “There are ways and means to find the funds. So don't say that you don't have the money. I guarantee if you look at your bills or your credit card statements, there are ways that you can cut back on spending.” (16:08-16:22 | May)

Action Plan To Achieve Your 2023 Goals

Thursday Dec 08, 2022

When it comes to setting your goals for 2023, it is important to know what your goals are, and why you want to achieve them. But to actually see these goals come to fruition, you must put action behind them. In today’s episode, host May Yeo Silvers discusses how to put together the right action plan for your goals in 2023 and beyond.

Whether this is a brand new goal, or you’re building on an already existing goal, it it first important to understand your current behaviors. What are the things in your life that influence you to behave the way that you are? And how does your behavior impact your success overall? If you do not understand your behavior and how it makes you feel, then you will not be able to understand what’s holding you back from achieving your goals. Once you recognize your behaviors, you can begin to take efficient action towards success. But the most crucial thing to remember is that change happens in time. And you need to reward yourself for all the small steps along the way.

Ultimately, change doesn’t happen overnight. Achieving success is a long-term process that requires a lot of dedication and self-reflection. If you do not break your goals up into small actionable steps, it will be hard to yield any results.

Quotes

• “Whether it is a new goal for 2003, or a goal that you have set for yourself throughout the last year, one very important thing that you need to do is to recognize your current way of behavior.” (02:02-02:16 | May)

• “You have to evaluate what you currently have that at least keeps you content. But also what needs to change to make a difference so that you can live a more fulfilled life?” (03:49-04:02 | May)

• “After you list out all the things that are robbing your time, you are going to evaluate what things you can automate, delegate or delete.” (06:25-06:35 | May)

• “Once you come to the conclusion that you are not going to let your current circumstances affect you anymore, the need to want to change is going to surpass all the challenges, and uncomfortable emotions or actions that you have to take because your desire to want to make that change will be so strong that nothing is going to stop you.” (08:15-08:38 | May)

• “When you have the fundamentals taken care of everything becomes easier.” (10:09-10:13 | May)

• “The reason why 99% of the people fail when they try to attain a new goal is because they look at the big plan, and they go all in.” (11:03-11:14 | May)

• “Every single change is going to bring you closer to your goal. You’ve got to keep yourself motivated with your small actions, not just the end goal.” (14:45-14:57 | May)

Strategy For Goal Setting in the New Year

Thursday Dec 01, 2022

As the year comes to an end, it is important to start planning for success in the new year. In today’s episode, host May Yeo Silvers discusses strategies for setting efficient and effective 2023 goals.

As we head into 2023, most people are already thinking about what their new year’s resolutions will be. And while most people know what they want to achieve, it often stops there. It is one thing to want to do something and an entirely different thing to actually get it done. To be more effective in achieving your goals, it is important to write things down. Write down your goal, why you want to achieve it, and how you would feel if you did or did not accomplish it. When you have some level of accountability, you are more likely to be successful in what you set out to do.

Setting goals is an essential part of being successful. Tune in to learn more about how to set efficient and effective goals for the new year and beyond.

Quotes

• “I think when we set a goal, we have a pretty good idea why we set that goal. However, we just stop there, instead of giving it more thought.” (02:10-02:14 | May)

• “When you set a goal, it has to be intentional.” (03:20-03:23 | May)

• “When you set a goal, I want you to write it down on paper. Why do you want to set this goal? (04:53-04:59 | May)

• “If you had the same goal before and you didn't achieve it, you have to write down why. Why didn't you achieve that goal when you had it before? What was the hindrance?” (06:55-07:13 | May)

• “You have to envision yourself already at that place of attaining that goal. How does that feel? Does it make you feel good? And then you also have to envision how you would feel if you didn’t attain your goal.” (09:45-10:00 | May)

The Danger Of Learning Too Much

Thursday Nov 24, 2022

Are you constantly stuck in a cycle of wanting to learn more and more, but never actually implementing what you are learning? In today’s episode, host May Yeo Silvers talks about the danger of learning too much and how to learn in a more effective way.

The danger of learning too much is that the more you learn, the more inadequate you feel. Every time you learn something new, you are faced with how much there still is to learn. That feeling can be very overwhelming and lead you to not actually retain anything you have learned. The best way to learn is to take it step by step. Each time you learn a new thing, implement it. By taking action you will evoke a feeling around that action, and then you are more likely to remember what you learned. Once you’ve taken action on the first step of what you just learned, then you can move onto learning the next step.

If you continually learn new things, but do not actually implement them, you are not actually retaining what you’ve learned. Until you put what you learn into action, it is all just theory. Tune into this week’s episode of The Unstoppable Eventrepreneur™ to learn about the danger of learning too much and why implementation is vital for effective learning.

Quotes

• “You continue to crave for more new things to learn. So this becomes a pattern, you're constantly in the learning mode. You want to learn more, and more, and more, because every new thing that you learn makes you feel more and more insecure.” (5:35-5:52 | May)

• “I don't want you to get into the mindset of constantly wanting to learn more because the more you learn the more inadequate you feel.” (9:13-9:20 | May)

• “When you implement what you have learned in theory, you are creating an activity, and the activity will create some form of a memory. Okay, because of the experience you get from that activity, so it creates feelings. And that feeling creates emotions. And that's when you will remember better than just words itself.” (10:32-10:57 | May)

• “I'm not asking you to stop learning. I'm asking that every time you learn something, you’ve got to immediately take action to implement what you have learned.” (11:06-11:13 | May)

• “In order for you to be able to relate to the things that you are learning, you’ve got to implement what you have learned previously. And then, the results are going to give you a better point of reference when you go to learn the next thing.” (14:01-14:19 | May)

”Feeling” Your Way To Success

Thursday Nov 17, 2022

Do you have a dream for yourself but are too afraid to take action? In today’s episode, Host May Yeo Silvers discusses the importance of feeling your way to success.

Unfortunately, many people never achieve their goals because they are simply too afraid to imagine themselves as successful. According to May, one of the best things you can do to achieve success is to first imagine yourself already there. Once you have an understanding of what it feels like to be that successful, it will give you the purpose and motivation you need to take actionable steps to get there.

Don’t shut down your dreams before even trying! Tune into this week’s episode of The Unstoppable Eventrepreneur™ to learn why manifestation is the first step to living the life of your dreams.

Quotes

• “Unfortunately, many people do not allow themselves to imagine because they don't want to feel disappointed if they don't attain their goals. And that's the reason why a lot of people don't even take the leap of faith to start their own business.” (03:38-03:56 | May)

• “If you don't get into the feelings of how it feels to experience your goals, you will lose your motivation and inspiration to take action to work towards it.” (08:33-08:47 | May)

• “Why is manifestation important? Because that vision is going to transport you spiritually into the place that you want to go. And it will feel so real that you can almost taste it.” (11:37-11:50 | May)

• “In order for you to have success in your business, you need to already feel that you are successful.” (14:33-14:41 | May)

• “Unfortunately, a lot of people do not allow themselves to even envision their goals in their head because they already shut down their own dreams.” (15:24-15:33 | May)

• “If you want success, dream like a child. Dream like anything is possible. Because it is.” (15:45-15:50 | May)

• “In order to take action, you have to feel something. If you don't feel anything, there is no purpose. Everything is empty.” (16:22-16:30 | May)
