Episode 30 - Choosing Your Position

Speaker: 00:00:00

When you set your goals for 2022.

Speaker: 00:00:03

Did you think about your position, your positioning around how

Speaker: 00:00:08

you're going to carry them out?

Speaker: 00:00:10

Whether they were for your business or whether they were for your life.

Speaker: 00:00:15

Did you think about the position you would take?

Speaker: 00:00:18

What stand are you taking?

Speaker: 00:00:21

How are you defining who you are, your identity, how are you going to show

Speaker: 00:00:26

up in order to achieve those goals?

Speaker: 00:00:31

I believe that 2022 is going to be an extraordinary year.

Speaker: 00:00:38

Now I know we've already had.

Speaker: 00:00:40

To very extraordinary.

Speaker: 00:00:41

Yes.

Speaker: 00:00:42

And I don't think 20, 22 is going to be lesser than what

Speaker: 00:00:47

we've already gone through.

Speaker: 00:00:49

I think it's going to be tougher in some ways, but I think a lot of us

Speaker: 00:00:53

have already had a lot of training.

Speaker: 00:00:55

And we're tougher and expecting the unexpected.

Speaker: 00:01:01

So, how do you deal with the unknown?

Speaker: 00:01:04

What position do you take?

Speaker: 00:01:07

When you take responsibility for yourself and you look at the way

Speaker: 00:01:11

that 20, 22 is already on folding.

Speaker: 00:01:15

How are you positioning yourself?

Speaker: 00:01:18

What responsibility.

Speaker: 00:01:20

Are you willing to take.

Speaker: 00:01:22

What's your truth for 2022.

Speaker: 00:01:26

That's what I'm going to explore today.

Speaker: 00:01:28

And the choosing happy podcast.

Speaker: 00:01:42

Hello, and welcome to the choosing happy podcast.

Speaker: 00:01:46

I'm Heather masters.

Speaker: 00:01:48

And today I wanted to talk about positioning and the different areas

Speaker: 00:01:52

of positioning Positioning in your life, positioning for your business

Speaker: 00:01:57

and your brand and the brand of you.

Speaker: 00:02:00

And more importantly, what positioning means in terms of your truths and

Speaker: 00:02:06

what you stand for in the world.

Speaker: 00:02:08

And what are you willing to show up to do?

Speaker: 00:02:12

What is your.

Speaker: 00:02:14

Purpose.

Speaker: 00:02:15

Are you positioned to deliver your truth and your purpose in 2022.

Speaker: 00:02:20

I personally feel that that's what I'm being called to do.

Speaker: 00:02:25

I wanted to explore this today.

Speaker: 00:02:27

In terms of what you really want for 2022.

Speaker: 00:02:32

What you can control for yourself in 2022.

Speaker: 00:02:36

And how can you contribute?

Speaker: 00:02:39

To new communities, new systems.

Speaker: 00:02:42

It's 2022 and faults.

Speaker: 00:02:46

I was working with a client last week.

Speaker: 00:02:49

And we're working on her brand story.

Speaker: 00:02:53

Her positioning, how she's going to show up for her brand for her business.

Speaker: 00:03:00

What have values are for her clients?

Speaker: 00:03:03

How she serves her clients.

Speaker: 00:03:08

And I spent the weekend reviewing my podcast, reviewing my business.

Speaker: 00:03:14

From last year.

Speaker: 00:03:15

And more importantly, reviewing where I was willing to stand.

Speaker: 00:03:21

And take a stand for truth.

Speaker: 00:03:24

And where I held back.

Speaker: 00:03:27

I truly believe that my purpose going forward is to help.

Speaker: 00:03:33

Humanity in some way as we go through this massive.

Speaker: 00:03:37

Global.

Speaker: 00:03:38

Transformation.

Speaker: 00:03:40

There are people who are really, really struggling with everything

Speaker: 00:03:45

that's happening around them.

Speaker: 00:03:47

And I believe that there is a contribution.

Speaker: 00:03:51

I can make either through this podcast.

Speaker: 00:03:54

Or through some of the services.

Speaker: 00:03:56

I'll be launching.

Speaker: 00:03:57

In the coming months.

Speaker: 00:03:59

I'm aiming to work in collaboration to create a community of support.

Speaker: 00:04:05

And also to create a community that supports.

Speaker: 00:04:10

It really got me thinking about.

Speaker: 00:04:13

Who.

Speaker: 00:04:14

Aye.

Speaker: 00:04:15

Show a path in order to achieve everything I want to achieve.

Speaker: 00:04:21

This year is likely to be.

Speaker: 00:04:23

Even more unpredictable than the last two.

Speaker: 00:04:27

In my opinion.

Speaker: 00:04:27

What can you put into place to support yourself?

Speaker: 00:04:31

When you set your goals, when you set your plans for your

Speaker: 00:04:34

business and you hold that vision.

Speaker: 00:04:37

Yes, we can be moving toward it.

Speaker: 00:04:40

But on that journey that.

Speaker: 00:04:42

Likely to be some unexpected.

Speaker: 00:04:45

Karen says unexpected challenges, probably ones that are bigger than before.

Speaker: 00:04:52

And depending on your beliefs and your view of what's happening in the world.

Speaker: 00:04:57

Those challenges might be greater than you've ever expected.

Speaker: 00:05:01

What are you committing to this year in terms of your goals?

Speaker: 00:05:05

What are you.

Speaker: 00:05:07

Taking a stand for.

Speaker: 00:05:09

I'm wanting to help those who awakening up to the truth around them.

Speaker: 00:05:15

And realizing that nothing has been, as it seems.

Speaker: 00:05:20

The everything they've potentially believed.

Speaker: 00:05:24

Could be crumbling around them.

Speaker: 00:05:27

I think those people who wake up and who choose to question.

Speaker: 00:05:32

Choose to get curious, choose to look deeper beyond what they're being

Speaker: 00:05:38

told by governments and social media.

Speaker: 00:05:41

Or the ones who are here to help us to create something new going forward.

Speaker: 00:05:48

And that's my focus.

Speaker: 00:05:50

I don't want to focus on.

Speaker: 00:05:53

What's happening.

Speaker: 00:05:54

There are plenty of the people who can give you the information about that.

Speaker: 00:05:58

That's not, I believe that's not my role.

Speaker: 00:06:03

I believe my role is to help you as you wake up.

Speaker: 00:06:07

Too.

Speaker: 00:06:07

Decide what you want to do going forward.

Speaker: 00:06:11

Did he side what you want to stand for?

Speaker: 00:06:14

Does this side, how you position yourself how you.

Speaker: 00:06:19

Prepare yourself.

Speaker: 00:06:20

For the coming.

Speaker: 00:06:21

Yes.

Speaker: 00:06:22

How you cover the fundamentals for yourself and your family?

Speaker: 00:06:27

Before you decide to help anyone else.

Speaker: 00:06:31

How you put on that.

Speaker: 00:06:33

Oxygen mask.

Speaker: 00:06:35

The analogy of the plane.

Speaker: 00:06:37

Before you help anyone else?

Speaker: 00:06:39

And what does that oxygen mask look like?

Speaker: 00:06:42

And what does it involve?

Speaker: 00:06:45

And what are the steps you can take?

Speaker: 00:06:49

I primarily at this point would like to support those who know they

Speaker: 00:06:55

already have a contribution to make.

Speaker: 00:06:58

They want to make a practical contribution now, and they're unsure of how to start.

Speaker: 00:07:04

And how to move forward.

Speaker: 00:07:06

I want

Speaker: 00:07:06

To offer.

Speaker: 00:07:07

Mindset's support spiritual support.

Speaker: 00:07:11

Practical support.

Speaker: 00:07:14

To help them begin.

Speaker: 00:07:16

Those who know they are on purpose and being called to step up.

Speaker: 00:07:20

And rise beyond existing paradigms.

Speaker: 00:07:24

To help create new possibilities and opportunities for humanity and the planet.

Speaker: 00:07:31

Those who stand for truths.

Speaker: 00:07:33

Alight.

Speaker: 00:07:34

Oh, the ones I feel I'm here to surf.

Speaker: 00:07:39

Here are four things that I looked at to get clear on when I was looking

Speaker: 00:07:44

at how I want to position myself and the commitments that I want to make.

Speaker: 00:07:50

For 2022.

Speaker: 00:07:53

I looked at what are the three?

Speaker: 00:07:55

Words, phrases.

Speaker: 00:07:57

That will make the biggest difference for me this year.

Speaker: 00:08:01

What are those phrases that will make the biggest difference for you this year?

Speaker: 00:08:06

The ones that will remain you to stay on track.

Speaker: 00:08:10

The ones that will trigger.

Speaker: 00:08:12

Uh, Positive.

Speaker: 00:08:14

High performance response.

Speaker: 00:08:17

That'll snap you out of.

Speaker: 00:08:19

Resistance.

Speaker: 00:08:20

And get you into motion.

Speaker: 00:08:23

For me follow through.

Speaker: 00:08:25

Is a massive one.

Speaker: 00:08:26

Also his spirit and alchemy.

Speaker: 00:08:30

I couldn't decide.

Speaker: 00:08:31

I think spirit is probably the main word.

Speaker: 00:08:34

Spirit.

Speaker: 00:08:36

In terms of spirituality and spirits in terms of courage and the spirit needed.

Speaker: 00:08:43

To keep going in this ever-changing situation.

Speaker: 00:08:48

Follow through.

Speaker: 00:08:50

That's because.

Speaker: 00:08:51

I've realized that it's something.

Speaker: 00:08:54

That I can quite easily.

Speaker: 00:08:56

Not do.

Speaker: 00:08:58

I can quite easily get to certain points and not follow through.

Speaker: 00:09:03

Past the goal.

Speaker: 00:09:04

And beyond I mentioned this in the, goal testing.

Speaker: 00:09:08

Series last week.

Speaker: 00:09:09

Follow through for me is really important.

Speaker: 00:09:13

And service on purpose.

Speaker: 00:09:16

Serving others.

Speaker: 00:09:17

As long as it's aligned with my truth and is on purpose, my purpose.

Speaker: 00:09:25

What are your phrases?

Speaker: 00:09:27

What are the ones that will.

Speaker: 00:09:29

Inspire you to keep going.

Speaker: 00:09:31

Remind you.

Speaker: 00:09:32

Of your, why?

Speaker: 00:09:34

And help you.

Speaker: 00:09:35

Show up in 2022.

Speaker: 00:09:38

Toward your destiny and purpose.

Speaker: 00:09:41

What are the two things that you can implement now?

Speaker: 00:09:46

To begin living.

Speaker: 00:09:47

Those phrases.

Speaker: 00:09:49

For me.

Speaker: 00:09:50

Repositioning the podcast.

Speaker: 00:09:52

My business, my mentoring program, and getting very specific about who I serve.

Speaker: 00:09:58

Is one of the first steps I've taken.

Speaker: 00:10:01

I'm serving on purpose.

Speaker: 00:10:03

I'm serving.

Speaker: 00:10:04

Awakening people.

Speaker: 00:10:07

I'm serving.

Speaker: 00:10:09

Awakened people who want to serve.

Speaker: 00:10:12

My second one is about choosing commitments carefully.

Speaker: 00:10:17

And setting.

Speaker: 00:10:17

Clear intentions and boundaries around those commitments.

Speaker: 00:10:22

Not constantly saying yes.

Speaker: 00:10:24

And sacrificing.

Speaker: 00:10:26

Things that are actually more important.

Speaker: 00:10:28

Because I want.

Speaker: 00:10:29

To serve.

Speaker: 00:10:31

Without really weighing up the consequence.

Speaker: 00:10:34

Of that what I mean by that is if I give my time to something.

Speaker: 00:10:38

The question.

Speaker: 00:10:39

I asked myself now.

Speaker: 00:10:41

It's what am I giving up?

Speaker: 00:10:43

Time-wise.

Speaker: 00:10:44

To allow me to do this for this person.

Speaker: 00:10:47

What am I having to say no to.

Speaker: 00:10:50

And worked is the most important, the most valuable.

Speaker: 00:10:54

The high quality.

Speaker: 00:10:55

The higher purpose, how you truce.

Speaker: 00:10:58

Action.

Speaker: 00:10:59

I can take right now.

Speaker: 00:11:01

what are the two things that you can implement now?

Speaker: 00:11:05

I can get you started.

Speaker: 00:11:07

On your journey.

Speaker: 00:11:08

To living this.

Speaker: 00:11:10

What are the two development goals or achievements?

Speaker: 00:11:14

That you want for yourself this year.

Speaker: 00:11:17

For instance,

Speaker: 00:11:18

My service on purpose.

Speaker: 00:11:20

For me includes helping others.

Speaker: 00:11:23

Through coaching.

Speaker: 00:11:25

I have three qualifications in coaching.

Speaker: 00:11:28

I'm a trainer of neuro-linguistic programming.

Speaker: 00:11:31

Over the last three, four years.

Speaker: 00:11:33

I've been fairly isolated and out of practice of coaching because.

Speaker: 00:11:39

Of the GTS.

Speaker: 00:11:40

I have called.

Speaker: 00:11:42

I've cared for people.

Speaker: 00:11:44

I have.

Speaker: 00:11:45

Taken time.

Speaker: 00:11:46

To recover myself.

Speaker: 00:11:48

From trauma and from loss.

Speaker: 00:11:50

I would like to master.

Speaker: 00:11:53

Coaching again.

Speaker: 00:11:54

Exponential coaching.

Speaker: 00:11:57

Coaching not just using neuro-linguistic programming.

Speaker: 00:12:01

using other advanced skills and techniques.

Speaker: 00:12:05

And I want to master content.

Speaker: 00:12:08

I want to deliver amazing content that is so valuable.

Speaker: 00:12:15

Not necessarily having a massive audience.

Speaker: 00:12:19

But that delivers value to the people that do listen.

Speaker: 00:12:23

That makes a contribution.

Speaker: 00:12:25

That helps others to transform their lives.

Speaker: 00:12:30

Through what I believe is one of the toughest times in human history.

Speaker: 00:12:37

They are completely in alignment with the contribution I want to make.

Speaker: 00:12:42

With the.

Speaker: 00:12:43

Phrases.

Speaker: 00:12:44

I've chosen.

Speaker: 00:12:45

And with how I've chosen to begin living those now.

Speaker: 00:12:51

I'm redesigning how I deliver the podcasts.

Speaker: 00:12:56

I'm looking to interview more people I've already put together a list

Speaker: 00:13:00

of people I would like to interview and I will publish those details

Speaker: 00:13:05

and advance of each interview.

Speaker: 00:13:09

I'm also committing to a newsletter.

Speaker: 00:13:12

Which will include not just the podcast.

Speaker: 00:13:17

But a blog.

Speaker: 00:13:19

And a summary update of what's happening in the world from a position.

Speaker: 00:13:24

Of possibilities opportunities.

Speaker: 00:13:28

Positive actions.

Speaker: 00:13:29

You can take how you can continue to create the world you want in 2022.

Speaker: 00:13:39

I'm continuing with the a hundred days to happy.

Speaker: 00:13:43

I will.

Speaker: 00:13:44

Post.

Speaker: 00:13:45

Five days a week.

Speaker: 00:13:47

On the a hundred day happy.

Speaker: 00:13:49

I won't post on the Sunday, Sundays.

Speaker: 00:13:53

On my podcast.

Speaker: 00:13:55

Recording days.

Speaker: 00:13:56

So most of the recording and editing I will do on a Sunday.

Speaker: 00:14:01

We'll have the main podcast on a Monday as we continue.

Speaker: 00:14:05

And the.

Speaker: 00:14:06

Have a five.

Speaker: 00:14:07

The rest of the week.

Speaker: 00:14:10

It's all a new focus for me.

Speaker: 00:14:14

I'm aiming to do.

Speaker: 00:14:16

Two interviews a month.

Speaker: 00:14:18

And the other podcasts.

Speaker: 00:14:21

To be content that I know will serve, that I know will add value that

Speaker: 00:14:26

will give you the opportunity to try something different, to support yourself.

Speaker: 00:14:34

And remembering that everything is a choice.

Speaker: 00:14:38

Remembering that how we respond in every moment.

Speaker: 00:14:41

Is a choice.

Speaker: 00:14:44

And as we go through 2022.

Speaker: 00:14:47

And the world reshapes.

Speaker: 00:14:49

And systems or shape.

Speaker: 00:14:51

And each of us are impacted.

Speaker: 00:14:53

Individually.

Speaker: 00:14:55

And unique.

Speaker: 00:14:56

And personal ways.

Speaker: 00:14:59

I want to offer a podcast.

Speaker: 00:15:02

That supports you through this.

Speaker: 00:15:05

And the best way I possibly can.

Speaker: 00:15:08

And one of the best ways for me to know how I can support you.

Speaker: 00:15:12

Is if you drop me an email.

Speaker: 00:15:14

Letting me know how I can support you.

Speaker: 00:15:17

My email address is in the show notes.

Speaker: 00:15:21

And if you like the podcast share it.

Speaker: 00:15:24

And subscribe.

Speaker: 00:15:27

If you'd like to subscribe to the newsletter.

Speaker: 00:15:31

There is a link in the show notes I really do.

Speaker: 00:15:35

Want to support those who are finding it difficult to get

Speaker: 00:15:40

through these extraordinary.

Speaker: 00:15:41

On predictable.

Speaker: 00:15:43

Fast changing times.

Speaker: 00:15:46

Thank you so much for listening and for your time today.

Speaker: 00:15:50

I wish you a blessed and peaceful week.

Speaker: 00:15:53

I'm Heather masters.

Speaker: 00:15:55

And this.
