Episode 30 - Choosing Your Position

As we begin 2022 how are you positioning yourself in your life and your business?

What are you standing for, showing up for, motivated by?

What 'brand of you' will we see this year and are you positioned to deal with the unknown, unexpected and thrive?

In this episode I explore positioning and the new position I am taking for 2022 and provide an opportunity for you to consider yours.

I share how I came up with my focus and stand and how you can use that to create a supporting system unique to you.

Speaker:

When you set your goals for 2022.

Speaker:

Did you think about your position, your positioning around how

Speaker:

you're going to carry them out?

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

Did you think about the position you would take?

Speaker:

What stand are you taking?

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

up in order to achieve those goals?

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

Now I know we've already had.

Speaker:

To very extraordinary.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

we've already gone through.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

have already had a lot of training.

Speaker:

And we're tougher and expecting the unexpected.

Speaker:

So, how do you deal with the unknown?

Speaker:

What position do you take?

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

that 20, 22 is already on folding.

Speaker:

How are you positioning yourself?

Speaker:

What responsibility.

Speaker:

Are you willing to take.

Speaker:

What's your truth for 2022.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

And the choosing happy podcast.

Speaker:

Hello, and welcome to the choosing happy podcast.

Speaker:

I'm Heather masters.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

of positioning Positioning in your life, positioning for your business

Speaker:

and your brand and the brand of you.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

what you stand for in the world.

Speaker:

And what are you willing to show up to do?

Speaker:

What is your.

Speaker:

Purpose.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

I wanted to explore this today.

Speaker:

In terms of what you really want for 2022.

Speaker:

What you can control for yourself in 2022.

Speaker:

And how can you contribute?

Speaker:

To new communities, new systems.

Speaker:

It's 2022 and faults.

Speaker:

I was working with a client last week.

Speaker:

And we're working on her brand story.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

What have values are for her clients?

Speaker:

How she serves her clients.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

From last year.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

And take a stand for truth.

Speaker:

And where I held back.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

Humanity in some way as we go through this massive.

Speaker:

Global.

Speaker:

Transformation.

Speaker:

There are people who are really, really struggling with everything

Speaker:

that's happening around them.

Speaker:

And I believe that there is a contribution.

Speaker:

I can make either through this podcast.

Speaker:

Or through some of the services.

Speaker:

I'll be launching.

Speaker:

In the coming months.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

And also to create a community that supports.

Speaker:

It really got me thinking about.

Speaker:

Who.

Speaker:

Aye.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

This year is likely to be.

Speaker:

Even more unpredictable than the last two.

Speaker:

In my opinion.

Speaker:

What can you put into place to support yourself?

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

business and you hold that vision.

Speaker:

Yes, we can be moving toward it.

Speaker:

But on that journey that.

Speaker:

Likely to be some unexpected.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

What are you.

Speaker:

Taking a stand for.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

And realizing that nothing has been, as it seems.

Speaker:

The everything they've potentially believed.

Speaker:

Could be crumbling around them.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

told by governments and social media.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

And that's my focus.

Speaker:

I don't want to focus on.

Speaker:

What's happening.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

Too.

Speaker:

Decide what you want to do going forward.

Speaker:

Did he side what you want to stand for?

Speaker:

Does this side, how you position yourself how you.

Speaker:

Prepare yourself.

Speaker:

For the coming.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

How you cover the fundamentals for yourself and your family?

Speaker:

Before you decide to help anyone else.

Speaker:

How you put on that.

Speaker:

Oxygen mask.

Speaker:

The analogy of the plane.

Speaker:

Before you help anyone else?

Speaker:

And what does that oxygen mask look like?

Speaker:

And what does it involve?

Speaker:

And what are the steps you can take?

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

already have a contribution to make.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

And how to move forward.

Speaker:

I want

Speaker:

To offer.

Speaker:

Mindset's support spiritual support.

Speaker:

Practical support.

Speaker:

To help them begin.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

And rise beyond existing paradigms.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

Those who stand for truths.

Speaker:

Alight.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

For 2022.

Speaker:

I looked at what are the three?

Speaker:

Words, phrases.

Speaker:

That will make the biggest difference for me this year.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

The ones that will remain you to stay on track.

Speaker:

The ones that will trigger.

Speaker:

Uh, Positive.

Speaker:

High performance response.

Speaker:

That'll snap you out of.

Speaker:

Resistance.

Speaker:

And get you into motion.

Speaker:

For me follow through.

Speaker:

Is a massive one.

Speaker:

Also his spirit and alchemy.

Speaker:

I couldn't decide.

Speaker:

I think spirit is probably the main word.

Speaker:

Spirit.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

To keep going in this ever-changing situation.

Speaker:

Follow through.

Speaker:

That's because.

Speaker:

I've realized that it's something.

Speaker:

That I can quite easily.

Speaker:

Not do.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

Past the goal.

Speaker:

And beyond I mentioned this in the, goal testing.

Speaker:

Series last week.

Speaker:

Follow through for me is really important.

Speaker:

And service on purpose.

Speaker:

Serving others.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

What are your phrases?

Speaker:

What are the ones that will.

Speaker:

Inspire you to keep going.

Speaker:

Remind you.

Speaker:

Of your, why?

Speaker:

And help you.

Speaker:

Show up in 2022.

Speaker:

Toward your destiny and purpose.

Speaker:

What are the two things that you can implement now?

Speaker:

To begin living.

Speaker:

Those phrases.

Speaker:

For me.

Speaker:

Repositioning the podcast.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

Is one of the first steps I've taken.

Speaker:

I'm serving on purpose.

Speaker:

I'm serving.

Speaker:

Awakening people.

Speaker:

I'm serving.

Speaker:

Awakened people who want to serve.

Speaker:

My second one is about choosing commitments carefully.

Speaker:

And setting.

Speaker:

Clear intentions and boundaries around those commitments.

Speaker:

Not constantly saying yes.

Speaker:

And sacrificing.

Speaker:

Things that are actually more important.

Speaker:

Because I want.

Speaker:

To serve.

Speaker:

Without really weighing up the consequence.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

The question.

Speaker:

I asked myself now.

Speaker:

It's what am I giving up?

Speaker:

Time-wise.

Speaker:

To allow me to do this for this person.

Speaker:

What am I having to say no to.

Speaker:

And worked is the most important, the most valuable.

Speaker:

The high quality.

Speaker:

The higher purpose, how you truce.

Speaker:

Action.

Speaker:

I can take right now.

Speaker:

what are the two things that you can implement now?

Speaker:

I can get you started.

Speaker:

On your journey.

Speaker:

To living this.

Speaker:

What are the two development goals or achievements?

Speaker:

That you want for yourself this year.

Speaker:

For instance,

Speaker:

My service on purpose.

Speaker:

For me includes helping others.

Speaker:

Through coaching.

Speaker:

I have three qualifications in coaching.

Speaker:

I'm a trainer of neuro-linguistic programming.

Speaker:

Over the last three, four years.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

Of the GTS.

Speaker:

I have called.

Speaker:

I've cared for people.

Speaker:

I have.

Speaker:

Taken time.

Speaker:

To recover myself.

Speaker:

From trauma and from loss.

Speaker:

I would like to master.

Speaker:

Coaching again.

Speaker:

Exponential coaching.

Speaker:

Coaching not just using neuro-linguistic programming.

Speaker:

using other advanced skills and techniques.

Speaker:

And I want to master content.

Speaker:

I want to deliver amazing content that is so valuable.

Speaker:

Not necessarily having a massive audience.

Speaker:

But that delivers value to the people that do listen.

Speaker:

That makes a contribution.

Speaker:

That helps others to transform their lives.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

With the.

Speaker:

Phrases.

Speaker:

I've chosen.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

I'm redesigning how I deliver the podcasts.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

and advance of each interview.

Speaker:

I'm also committing to a newsletter.

Speaker:

Which will include not just the podcast.

Speaker:

But a blog.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

Of possibilities opportunities.

Speaker:

Positive actions.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

I will.

Speaker:

Post.

Speaker:

Five days a week.

Speaker:

On the a hundred day happy.

Speaker:

I won't post on the Sunday, Sundays.

Speaker:

On my podcast.

Speaker:

Recording days.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

And the.

Speaker:

Have a five.

Speaker:

The rest of the week.

Speaker:

It's all a new focus for me.

Speaker:

I'm aiming to do.

Speaker:

Two interviews a month.

Speaker:

And the other podcasts.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

And remembering that everything is a choice.

Speaker:

Remembering that how we respond in every moment.

Speaker:

Is a choice.

Speaker:

And as we go through 2022.

Speaker:

And the world reshapes.

Speaker:

And systems or shape.

Speaker:

And each of us are impacted.

Speaker:

Individually.

Speaker:

And unique.

Speaker:

And personal ways.

Speaker:

I want to offer a podcast.

Speaker:

That supports you through this.

Speaker:

And the best way I possibly can.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

Is if you drop me an email.

Speaker:

Letting me know how I can support you.

Speaker:

My email address is in the show notes.

Speaker:

And if you like the podcast share it.

Speaker:

And subscribe.

Speaker:

If you'd like to subscribe to the newsletter.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

Want to support those who are finding it difficult to get

Speaker:

through these extraordinary.

Speaker:

On predictable.

Speaker:

Fast changing times.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

I wish you a blessed and peaceful week.

Speaker:

I'm Heather masters.

Speaker:

And this.

About your host

Profile picture for Heather Masters

Heather Masters

After struggling to feel comfortable in my own skin for years, and after living through many life and career/business changes, I finally discovered something that helped me get comfortable with the unknown and discover what it was I truly wanted, and to connect with that heartfelt knowing I hadn't been able to get clarity on. I have turned that into a system that helps techies, Entrepreneurs and online creatives (Artists, writers, techies and digital creators) overcome their blocks so they can step into who they really are, tap into their Creative genius and confidently show up in their lives like never before.

When you are tired of being tired...
My mission is to help you step out of old destructive patterns and beliefs that limit you and free you up to create the intuitively guided business and life that empowers and ignites you.

Create A Future Distinct From The Past.

And for those Awakened Entrepreneurs and Business owners, navigating a challenging and vastly changing world landscape, I have created the Online Success Academy, and focused one to one coaching programs, that help you traverse the chaos and take advantage of the new and exciting opportunities presenting themselves.
