Unleash Your Future: A Better You - for Creative Entrepreneurs

As we step into the year 2024, a new chapter unfolds, and I find myself pondering the possibilities that lie ahead.

This year is not just about bidding farewell to the past but also about sculpting our dreams for the future.

Today, I want to share some simple yet powerful tricks I've picked up along the way. These are like tools in your toolbox, helping you be a super creative entrepreneur over the next year.

#1: Think About Your Wins

Start by thinking about the cool things you've already done in your life.

It could be learning to ride a bike, reading your favorite book, or anything else.

Write them down on a piece of paper. Make a map of your successes.

It helps you see how far you've come and gets you ready for the next big jump.

Here are some of mine:

1. I learned the essentials... eating, walking, and talking (yay me)
2. Pursued a professional sports career
3. Obtained my bachelors as a professional athlete
4. Taught myself how to play the guitar
5. Taught myself how to surf, snowboard and skateboard
6. Got some cool tattoos that I love
7. Traveled to 20+ countries around the world
8. Learned how to properly meditate
9. Learned how to cook and eat cleaner
10. Learned how to work out more efficiently and effectively
11. Live in different cities in the US.
12. Bought my first investment property
13. Invested in the stock market
14. Created & Failed at different brands - ecom, fba, marketing agency, musical festival
15. Build 2 successful business (Real Estate & Scouting Service)
16. Becoming a coach for creators and entrepreneurs
17. Next Big One: My Future Goals

This activity not only gave my self-confidence a big boost but also revealed a powerful truth:

Making a giant 10x leap doesn't need more effort than a smaller 2x jump.

Knowing that the effort for big achievements is similar to smaller ones encourages me to dream big and go after ambitious goals with strong enthusiasm.

#2: Write a Letter to Your Future Self

Imagine you are writing a letter to yourself in the future.

Picture the awesome life you want to live, surrounded by people you like.

Write down how this future you would be like – what they do, how they feel.

Script your life

Read this letter every day, and it's like planting seeds in your mind that will grow into your dreams.

See it, Believe it, Achieve it

#3: Use Your Imagination

Connecting with #2: Close your eyes and think about your future self using all your senses

What do you see, hear, smell, taste, and feel?

Write it down, record yourself speaking it out loud with enthusiasm and gratitude.

Listen to it every day.

You have just created a one song soundtrack for your dreams.

This helps your mind get used to the idea that your dreams will come true.

When you feel misaligned, lost, frustrated, stressed, confused or facing discomfort.

Use your recording as a tool for growth and bringing back balance.

Your Journey Begins:

As a creative entrepreneur, you can use these tools to help you create better clarity in what you want your future self to be like.

This is a tool, I recommend making it a daily routine to look and listen to that letter.

You can look back and listen to it every week, every month, every 3 months.

Whatever feels right for you.

Find a quiet place, close your eyes, and take deep breaths.

So, Imagine yourself in 2024, doing awesome things, feeling confident, and facing challenges like a pro.

Feel the excitement, hear the cheers, and savor that taste of success.

Understand this... Your vision will change, and thats okay.

As you grow throughout the year.

As you accomplish your goals.

You will be forced to seek a better you.

Use the same tools to use on your evolution and build a better road map for yourself as you move forward.

Last Words:

You are in control

Step into your future and create the masterpiece that awaits
