We’re closing out income and assessment this month, so if you haven’t made your own copy of the worksheet, you can grab one here.
The last three sections of the worksheet cover income, thoughts on our business, and our wellbeing. This is where things get the most emotional for me.
Money is emotional. Health is emotional. Business is emotional.
That’s why it’s so important to step back and take an objective look at these sections. They’re the ones where you’re most likely to have your judgement clouded because of emotional attachment, history with money, or trauma from work. Here’s an example.
When I started, booking $8K in a month of work was a dream. When I hit it, I was elated (I even have a note in my assessment celebrating my first 6-figure equivalent month.) Well, last month around the 15th, I was only at $8K. And you know what? I sulked a little. I thought I should’ve been doing better. But then I remembered...perspective. My assessment was a huge reminder that I was fine
(especially since it was only mid-month) and that I should be hyping myself up instead of feeling bad.
This is why I make sure to keep up with these sections. They feel like simple notes now, but they’re ridiculously useful for my future self when she might be having some challenges.
