We've all heard the same by Tony Robbins, what you focus on grows? But did you know that what you focus on also becomes your reality? If you were to take inventory of your life, and your business in every area right now, would you say that it is what you truly desire? If it's not, then maybe you need to take a look at what you are focusing on.

Hey there, welcome to The Couragecast, my name is Andrea Crisp, and I am your host. And honestly, friend, I am so glad that you are joining me today you have so many different podcasts that could be in your ears that you could be listening to, that you could be filling your day with. And yet, here you are. And so I honestly just want to say, thank you, I appreciate that. And I just feel so honored that I could be on this journey with you. You know, as a mindset and confidence coach, you know, I'm constantly thinking about how I am creating my life, and what it is that I truly want. It's what I help my clients with it is what I focus on in my own life personally. And really, I think that when we have a gift that we want to share with the world, when we have a transformation that we truly want others to have in their own lives, then it's so important for us to be focused on what it is that we need to be focusing on. And so today I want to talk about what we focus on becoming our reality. Now, this became really apparent to me over the past couple of years, especially during the pandemic and then beyond. Because what I realized for myself was I was creating within my life, things I didn't even want, there were many times when I had really almost played a victim role. And, you know, made excuses for why I was in certain places why things hadn't happened, why I had, you know, toxic relationships, why my business wasn't growing? And what I started to realize that I actually had created that for myself. Absolutely, everything changed. And I became so aware that my thoughts are actually creating my reality. And I want to remind you today that the same goes for you, your thoughts, what you're thinking about, even right now is creating what you are experiencing. So how do we start to shift our focus? And what is it going to really produce in your life. And so I want to talk a little bit about five different areas where we can really focus and be more intentional about what we want to create, within our business, within our coaching practice, within our creativity on all of those things. Because I think it's so important that when you have intentionality around what it is that you truly, truly want to create, you will actually create that.
So first of all, I want to talk about how focus helps you to connect. Now, I am actually going to use an example from my own sales coach, which is Jillian Murphy. And she talks about this all the time, she talks about doing the one thing and for her, she has always talked about building her network and building her net worth through her network. And I have seen that so clearly within her business. I see how she builds community really strongly, how she is really intentional about her connections, how she is really actually building these relationships and cultivating them. Now, if we want to connect with people, if we want to attract the right people into our lives, the right relationships, friendships, clients, all those things, then we have to be really focused on what it is that you desire out of that connection, because you can make a connection, but it might not be worth anything. In fact, you might not even really want that particular connection. So just to say that you want to create connections is actually not going to really create exactly what you desire. So it's important for you to actually dial in what it is that you desire out of those specific connections. Do you want to make connections to grow your business? Do you want to make connections to grow yourself emotionally, spiritually, physically, what are the ways in which you desire to really have your, your reality manifest through those particular connections? When I think about cultivating connection within my own life, I know that I really want that authenticity, I have no time for people who are not going to connect on a deep level, who really are very surfacey are there for their own gain. And for me, it's become one of those things where I can recognize it right away, I can see it for what it is. And I just don't have any desire for that type of connection. So I'm really intentional about creating focused connections with people who I truly believe are going to be the right people. For me. Another way focus can help you is really focusing on collaboration. And what does that look like when you are collaborating? So maybe that's, you know, doing IG lives or podcast tour? Or maybe that looks a little bit like, you know, doing a business arrangement with somebody or, you know, building a program with someone else? What does that look like when you are collaborating? And what is the intention behind what you desire to create through that collaboration, there were times when I, you know, exchanged surfaces at the beginning of my coaching, because I knew that I couldn't do everything myself. And so I would coach people for free. And they would actually do things for me, like copy design, there are so many things that I exchanged services for. And I was very intentional about what it is that I needed, and why I needed it and created some pretty amazing things. Because I was intentional and focused on what it is that I desired through that collaboration. Another way you can focus is when it comes to your creativity. Now as online entrepreneurs, multi passionate people, you know, you were constantly creating multiple things, maybe you have multiple streams of income, maybe it's, you know, you're a an author, alongside a content marketer alongside a podcaster. Alongside a course creator, there are always things that you are disseminating information or you are actually putting your ideas out into the world. But when we are you know, just thinking, Okay, I want to sit down and I want to just, you know, write today? Well, I mean, what does that mean? Like? Are you going to just waste time writing for writing sake? I mean, is that the intention? What do you truly want to focus on? Is there something that you desire to see manifest through your creativity? Do you want to see people transformed through what you're writing through what you're putting out? Do you want to see people inspired, encouraged, uplifted? What is it that you desire to see, through your creation, through your creativity, when you become focused on the intention around creating, then you're actually allowing yourself to really flow in that creativity? Now, here's the thing. Many people would say, Well, you know, that's kind of putting a box myself in a box when it comes to creativity. No, it's just being very clear with God universe, as to what it is you desire to create, so that you can have that flow of creativity come to you in order to bring that into the world. The next thing is focusing on communication.
Now, as coaches, entrepreneurs, people in the online world, we are constantly communicating our messaging. We are constantly communicating through what we put out in, in our online profiles in our emails in our podcasts, and we are Communicating with our friends and family. So what is the intention around what you desire to communicate? Maybe you're feeling you know, like, as though you're not really getting the support you need from your friends or from your family. And you're thinking, you know, I would love to communicate that I need no more support when it comes to my time or my boundaries, or what ever it is that you really need. at that specific time in your life, when you are focused and intentional upon really stating what it is that you desire, putting it out there being very clear about what it is that you want, then you will also attract that back to you. Oftentimes, we don't even need to actually have the conversation. Because when we are clear about communicating our desires, even just to the universe, the universe delivers. And it's amazing what happens. When we are doing that I saw this, just actually the other day with one of my clients. She had something happen in her business where there was another coach that copied her material. And she sent me a message and said, Well, what is this? What should I do? What should I do with this? And I said, Well, what would it look like for you to communicate this particular frustration to this other person? Well, here's the thing. She never even had to do that, because that person then communicated to her and apologized. So that is how this works, right? We're very clear and focused on what it is that we desire through our communication. And sometimes we don't actually even have to use the words. And then the last one is really being focused and intentional about coaching, and about really staying in your own lane. Now, I know that as coaches, entrepreneurs, that you truly do want to help other people have a transformation. And oftentimes, we want to do everything, we want to be everything to everyone. But when you're focused, really truly on what it is that you have to offer, the transformation that you're helping others with, you will see that the universe delivers those people back to you, helps you to really call in the people who are ready for your coaching, ready for what you have and ready to move forward in their own lives. Versus really just like taking anyone at any time and hoping for the best. So it's so important that we focus intentionally on what it is that we desire. And if you're finding right now, as though you are not really creating what you desire in your life, maybe you don't have the connections you want. They don't seem to be very authentic, or you don't really have those kinds of collaborations or podcasts opportunities, or you're you're finding that you're consistently consistently blocked when it comes to creating content or creating things, or you lack the ability to communicate what it is you desire. Or you're not really even able to walk your clients through a process that feels really good. I want to encourage you to take a step back and actually see what are you focusing on. only choose one of these areas at a time to truly set intention around. Because when you focus on one thing, and you set intention for one aspect of what it is that you truly desire, you're actually going to create a domino effect for everything else. So you don't have to focus on everything. Focus on one thing, allow it to manifest in your life and watch it create more of what you desire. Okay, friend, I hope you found that helpful today, I'm so glad that you join me. If we haven't already connected, I would love to connect with you offline.
