Inspiration

It's August 1st. Get FIRED up!

August 1st is here!!  


You’re officially 7 months down, with 5 months to go in 2019. 


If you’re looking at the date wondering how (no, really, HOW) is it August 1st, you’re not the only one. 

Before you panic and either a) give up on your goals and hope for better luck in 2020 or b) cancel your vacation and use caffeine as a substitute for sleep, read this email, and watch this video to pump you up. 


Looking for some inspiration that doesn’t make you feel a) hopeless or b) exhausted? 


This is for you. 


Over the last few days, I’ve been listening to you, and hearing what you’re wondering. 



You still have goals and dreams. 



You still want to grow your business. 



You still want to get consistent about exercise. 



You still want to land your dream job. 



You still want to start your book/blog/art class/learning Italian.



BUT…….



If you’re being honest, you’re not sure if you have time to add ONE more thing to your already jammed to-do list.  



You are curious about whether you should pay for goal-setting and personal development. I mean, isn’t it on the internet, right now, for free?!  



You’re not sure if now is the right time. 



You’re still in summer mode… and maybe you haven’t even taken vacation yet.  Is this REALLY the right time to be signing up for something that will take you away from pools, patios parks and happy hours? 



Maybe you should just wait for the next time the doors open. 



You’ve seen the results from our Goalden Girls Community, and what’s possible for you. 



But you’ve got a few last questions.



And you want to know if this will work for you, and what’s involved. 



I want you to make the right decision for you. 



And to help you do that, if you’re thinking about joining Goalden Girls Community, here are a few stories from our Community members that will inspire you, whether you decide to join or not. 




Inspiring Story #1: “But Lisa, my dreams aren’t big. Will I even fit in with a group like this?”



Big or small, your dreams are your own. And whether you have big dreams or not, Goalden Girls Community is about honouring what’s in your heart and helping you achieve it. 




Like Laura. Who had quietly started her business but was afraid to really talk about it with anyone. She wasn’t sure what her family would think - what if she failed?  Who did she think she was to start a business? 



She was having fun, and even getting successful, but was terrified to share with her family and friends what she was up to. 



For two months she put it off. Procrastinated. Was afraid. Made excuses. 



Until she got inspired in Goalden Girls Community, set the intention, and got the accountability she needed. 



And finally, she went live on Facebook to talk about her business.  She was nervous, but soon, she got in a groove, and her video was a HIT! 



She was blown away by the support of her family and friends, and felt awesome being able to be open about what she was up to and share her exciting new business. 



Is doing a Facebook Live a “big dream”?  Maybe.  Or Maybe not.  It doesn’t matter. 



What matters is that you set the intention and get the accountability it takes to really, truly take action towards what you want. 


That’s the power of Goalden Girls Community. 




Inspiring Story #2:  “Goal-setting is supposed to be easy. I’m sure I can figure it out on my own.” 



Have you ever thought this before?



Yes, we all learned about SMART goals in high school. 



But let’s be honest. How well is that working for you?



If it worked, we’d all be millionaires with six-packs living on a beach in Mexico, am I right?!



Let me tell you about Danielle, who knew she didn’t love her job but wasn’t sure what was next. 



She started dabbling in personal development two years ago. 



For two years, she tried to figure it out. 



She read books. Watched videos. Journaled. And got frustrated. 



She thought there was something wrong with her.  Why couldn’t she figure it out?



Her inner critic was roaring and ready to go.  “You’re not smart enough.”  


“You can’t figure it out.” 


“What’s wrong with you?!”



After two years of being stuck, and frustrated, she decided to join Goalden Girls. 



Within one week, she had major breakthroughs.  In one month, she had a plan.  



In two months, she landed a new job that she LOVED and got her excited about going to work, just like she wanted.



Since then, she has gained confidence, clarity and is even closer to her dream career than ever before.



But if Danielle hadn’t decided that she needed some support, she would still be stuck. 



She would still be dreading her Mondays. She would still be frustrated, and blaming herself, thinking there was something wrong with her because she couldn’t set goals herself. 



Don’t get stuck in this trap:  no-one does it alone.  



There’s a reason most of the world’s most incredible CEOs, leaders, athletes, salespeople, non-profit executives, actors, and musicians have coaches. 



It’s because we all need support, outside perspective, and to learn from an expert. And as a coach, I teach YOU to become your own best expert.



In Goalden Girls Community, you get expertise, training, and support, each and every month, to move you closer to your goals and get you excited about what you’re working on.  



Don’t wait two years, or six months or two days.  



Don’t stay in a job you hate longer than you have to. 


Don’t dread Mondays.



Don’t let your inner critic take over and let you think there’s something wrong with you.



Join Goalden Girls and get inspired to take action on goal-setting strategies that REALLY work! 




Inspiring Story #3:  “I’m already overwhelmed with all the things.”



Ok, I tackled a lot of this yesterday and you can read about it here



But just to sum it up for you:



Goalden Girls Community is NOT about “more”.  It’s about the RIGHT things. It’s about FOCUS.





Inspiring Story #4:  “I’ll join next time.”



Look, I’d LOVE to have you, anytime, but this is why you should join now. 



First of all, the price will increase the next time registration opens (and why not start the savings now?!). 



More importantly: Why wait to get results until later? 



Meet Lucy. 



Lucy was still in the hospital after a traumatic surgery when the registration to Goalden Girls opened in May. 



Lucy knew she wouldn’t be able to participate actively for a short period of time in the beginning because she would be in recovery. 



She considered putting it off and waiting to join “at a better time”. 



But she decided to take advantage of the opportunity and join today. 



Lucy used the fact that she had just gone through a tough time, and was about to start a challenging recovery as the REASON to invest in Goalden Girls



She used the fact that there was no time she needed support, encouragement and tools more than right now and decided to jump in. 



What could have been an excuse became her reason for joining. 



Lucy decided to start the next chapter in her life feeling elevated, excited and empowered. 



In the last two months, she has gone from feeling alone, to feeling strong and confident. 



She was in a low place, and turned that into a high point in her life where she can succeed now. 



Her message to me this week was simple:  “I appreciate you and the group so so so much, and it’s already made SUCH a dramatic change in my attitude and energy.” 



*Cue the tears, right over here*



Your EXCUSE for why now isn’t the right time, is also your reason for why NOW is the PERFECT time. 



Why wait to feel more empowered?



Why wait to gain confidence?



What’s the price you put on feeling less overwhelmed… today? 



How amazing will it feel to look back in two months when registration opens again, and have already launched your side-hustle?



When registration opens again, you’ll be SO glad you didn’t wait because you’ll already be on the path to your success, no matter what your definition is. 




“But does it really work?”




Don’t just believe me.  Read the words of our Goalden Girls Community members here. 




Inspiring Story #5:   My budget is tight right now. I don’t think I can afford this.   And can’t I find this on the internet for free right now?



Yes, you 100% can.  And if you cannot pay your mortgage, and are truly struggling to get by, you should NOT invest in this program. 



If you are truly struggling to pay for food or rent, this program is not for you, right now.  



But in this video I recorded yesterday, at the 13-minute mark, I share the inspiring story of Vania, an incredible and inspiring powerhouse who was in that position and got herself out of it.



You start where you are, with what you have. 



But if you’ve ever thought “I can’t afford it” or “it’s too expensive”... but deep down you know you COULD find a way, watch the video from the beginning. 



I can relate, 100%.  



Yes, me, Success Coach and self-made millionaire:  I still get caught in telling myself “I can’t afford it” when the truth is, I absolutely can. 



Millionaire or not, 99% of you reading this CAN afford it. 



It’s $37/month - less than what you’re paying for your iPhone, less than your cell phone plan, your daily coffees, diapers, kids’ activities and just one happy hour a month. 



And it’s time to shift your mindset, your priorities, and find a way so you CAN afford it. 



Trying to do it alone is overwhelming.  



And yes, it’s all on the internet but if you’ve ever gotten lost and simply paralyzed because there is TOO much stuff on the internet, you’re not the only one. In fact, I wrote this for you yesterday and you can read about it here



Start by doing something different.



Join Goalden Girls Community for only $37/month before the price increases. 




I want you to make the best decision for you and I truly hope these stories inspire you to take action in your life today. 


If you’re ready, join Goalden Girls Community today before the doors close at midnight tonight PST. 



And if you still have questions, shoot me an email or message on Social Media and I’m happy to reply to you.  I will answer any and all questions so you make the right decision for YOU!




Thanks for reading. Thanks for letting me and our Goalden Girls inspire you.



Go turn those dreams into reality!

How to stop feeling overwhelmed and get motivated again

You’re confused. 



Life is pretty good. There’s nothing obviously wrong. 



And yet you’re exhausted. You feel a little lost. 



You’re working so hard… but you’re not sure what you’re working towards and why it’s not paying off. 



Girl, I get it. Something is off. Something is missing. 



You have big dreams and you know you’re destined for more.  



You know the answers are out there, somewhere.  



I mean, everything you want to know is on Google or Youtube these days, right?



It can’t be that hard. 



Or can it? 



Let’s paint a picture here and you tell me if I’m the only one that’s been there.



It’s the end of the day. 



You just sent off that last piece of work to your client. The dishes are done.  



The kids finally fall asleep and you commit to find the answers and get the clarity and motivation you’re looking for.



So, you decide to follow a few people on social media for inspiration.  



Suddenly, your inbox is packed with options. 



Memberships, podcasts, journals, conferences, webinars, courses, and workshops. 



All this, and your bookshelf filled with bestsellers is still collecting dust. 



Where do you even begin? 



Overwhelmed with options and unsure of what direction you should take, you decide to hop back on Instagram and proceed to dive into the scroll hole, only to come out an hour later and no further ahead. 



Can you relate? 



In the days to follow, your to-do and to-research list gets even longer. 



You subscribe to more podcasts. 



You sign up for another freebie and receive ten more emails. 



You’re watching inspiring videos and TedTalks, and yet you’re still not making progress. 



Now, you’re even more confused, and wondering how everyone else seems to be doing it and start comparing yourself (even though you know you shouldn’t). 



Soon, you start to ignore the emails, the videos, the podcast notifications just like the books on your shelf since they remind you that you don’t have enough time or money and you aren’t even sure what it is that you want. 



And yet, every time you open Instagram and see others’ success, you wonder why that’s not you.  And deep down, you know that you TOO are smart, capable and oh-so-worthy of success.



I mean, what do they have that you don’t?  



(Besides an obviously better camera, Instagram husband and thousands of followers). 


Well, I don’t know the answer to that, but I do know this:  

 

It’s time to do things differently and wake up to get the success you want, on your terms. 

 

If you can relate to feeling overwhelmed, confused, and like everyone is ahead of you, you’re not the only one. 

 

I can help.

 

Women like you are why I created Goalden Girls Community.

 

Goalden Girls Community has been designed for you so you can stop feeling confused and overwhelmed, and START getting clarity, inspiration and strategies that work for you. 

 

It’s a safe-haven to block out the noise from social media, your nosy coworkers, and your judgy cousin Tracey. (Amen to that!)

 

You’re ready. 

 

You’ve had enough of trying to do it on your own. 

 

It’s time to get the support, inspiration, and training to turn your dreams into reality.  And get a community that connects you with other goal-driven, like-minded women. 

 

Instead of comparing yourself to others and being stuck in overwhelm and inaction, join a space that lifts you up and simplifies the goal-getting process by giving you only what you need most. 

 

Goalden Girls Community is a group of women ready to level up, connect and support you as you go for your big dreams.

 

Led by me, Success Coach Lisa Michaud, this goal-getting community provides the space to stay focused, reduce distractions, and shift your mindset so you create success and go after your dreams.

 

Are you ready to feel confident?  Get clarity? And find connection?



Are you ready to step into the best version of yourself?  



If the answer is a “heck yes”, it’s your time. 



In Goalden Girls Community, we focus on ONE thing a month. 



That’s it.  One thing.  



Not time management, and positive thinking, and health, and values, and goals, and focus, and and and…… 



One. Thing. At. A. Time. 



And that’s how we eliminate the noise, the overwhelm and the confusion. 



This is how you get clarity and start getting results, immediately. 



Because taking action and being focused gets results



And nothing is more motivating (or exciting!) than actually making progress. 



Imagine finally prioritizing your health and getting consistent with your workouts like you keep saying you will.




Imagine finally signing yourself up for a 5km run or triathlon after all these years, and the pride you feel as you cross the finish line. 



Imagine feeling confident in your decision to go back to work, or back to school, and leaving behind all the excuses or lies you’re telling yourself about being too old or not a good mom.



Girl, this is all possible for you. And it’s available for only $37/month (no, that’s not a mistake, and yes, it’s less than you’re spending on coffee or diapers, or even avocado and toast in a month). 



Success starts with you but doing it alone just plain sucks. 


Join Goalden Girls Community today to say goodbye to wondering IF you can achieve your dreams and say HELLO to the confident woman who faces her fears!

Now, jump on in - take action now because Goalden Girls Community enrollment opens only three times a year.

Join us before the doors close Thursday, August 1st at 11:59pm PST.

PS. Here’s a video I recorded last night with 4 steps to get you motivated again and get you unstuck no matter how long you’ve been stuck for.

If you like this type of training, you’ll LOVE Goalden Girls Community.

F*ck your excuses

The other day, someone asked me what made me start my business. Here’s the short version.



Almost 5 years ago,  I had health scare.



Before that moment, my life was going good. 



But while I’d achieved a lot of success, and ticked all the usual “boxes” you “should”, I wasn’t living my potential - and I had a lot of dreams and goals I was taking to the grave with me. 



Maybe you can relate. 



Life is pretty good. It’s comfortable. You’ve been successful. 



But there’s more within you, a desire, a dream, a goal you want. You’ve got potential that you haven’t fully explored yet and you know you’re made for more.



And it’s a little scary. 



So it’s easier to put it on hold just for “right now” for when things settle down in life. 



You know, wait for a “better time” when life is less busy.  



Here’s the thing: I’ve been there too.



I’ve waited for “one day” and told myself that “someday” I would start a business. 



It took me 8 years to let go of the excuse that I needed the “perfect business idea” to start. 



I dreamed about living in Vancouver, and flat-out believed it would NEVER happen.



It took two round-trips between BC and Alberta, and more boxes, bottles of wine and friends than I can count to find a way to make it happen. 



I imagined visiting Thailand, bought the guidebook and let it get dusty on my shelf for 8 years. 



It took a cancer scare, the reality that I might only have a year or two left to live, for me to just book the damn trip and finally eat authentic khao soi and meet a real Thai monk, like I’d dreamed of for so long. 




This is what I’ve learned - through my own journey in life and through the honour (yes, HONOUR) of coaching incredible women:




The excuses will ALWAYS be there. 




Your excuse “I’m too young” will turn into the excuse “I’m too old”.




Your excuse of “it’s not the right timewill turn into the excuse “I don’t have enough time left”.



Your excuse of “I don’t know enoughwill turn into the excuseit's too late to go back”.



Your excuse of “I can’t afford it” will turn into “I have too many other expenses to ever invest.”



Your excuse of “they won’t like it/me” will turn into “I don’t even know what I want anymore.”  



Or worse, “I don’t even know who I am anymore.” 



Your excuse “I’ll invest when I have more money” will turn into the excuse “I have too many other expenses to ever invest.”  



Your excuse of “I don’t know how” will turn into “I can’t do it.”



Let go of your excuses. 



Because if you don’t, it will only turn into yet another excuse.




For me, it took a health scare.  For others, it takes the death of a close family member. 



But why does it have to?!



The truth is, it doesn’t. 



Setting the intention, investing in yourself to do the hard work, and a really damn good coach (ahem, hello friend) can work wonders on those excuses. 



Girl, I’ve got two spots available for one-on-one coaching this month, and then that’s it: there will be no more opportunities to work together privately for several months.



These spots are rare, and I know they will go fast. In fact, the first one went last week within hours of announcing it. 



If you’re ready to drop the excuses, let’s do this. 



Your life is precious. 



And you’re WAY more freakin’ capable than you give yourself credit for.




Book a coaching discovery call and let’s connect to see what “someday” dream you are going to make reality. 



It’s time to get excited about your life. 



It’s time to get clear about what you want - without the excuses. 



It’s time to step into the woman you’re meant to become. 




And create the life you’re meant to live. 






Book your complimentary call today and let’s get you fired up to drop the excuses and make ANYTHING possible
