Hi! So I'm really liking how I write up these posts that go along with the Hello Month Printables. I hope you like them too. I just breeze through some things that have been going positive in my life so far and it's super enjoyable to share it all with you and I hope it gives you value. To be honest, these are the types of posts that I've always wished I could read from other people that I look up to. So here we go!

I found this awesome cup by Kate Spade that has been helping me drink more water. I found that the closer I get to drinking a gallon a day, the more awake and alert I feel - even when I don't get much sleep.

I've been looking forward to turning 30 (I'm 27 now). Why? Because I can only imagine how much my life will change and improve because of the compound effect of the good habits I'm practicing in my businesses and in my life. I took this snapshot on Instagram of a pic in Tuscany because I am planning on celebrating my 30th birthday by spending a month in some place like this. You gotta keep the vision for your future BIG. :)

This Asian Salad that I tried from a recipe I got from Pinterest is AMAZING. Now that I've moved to a nicer apartment with a better kitchen, I've been cooking alot more. I like this salad because I can make a big batch and keep it cold - which makes lunch/dinner time super easy and tasty. It's a hit with my roommates too.

Ingredients:

Whole Wheat Pasta - cook it separately and let it cool down before adding to the rest of the ingredients.

Slice up some:

- red bell pepper

- red cabbage

- chives

- cilantro

- cashew nuts

Make the sauce with:

- sesame seed oil

- olive oil

- minced garlic

- grated ginger

- juice from lemon

- brown sugar

- salt and pepper

I never measure anything - I just go by taste and kitchen experience. :)

If you do a search for "Asian Pasta Recipes" on Pinterest, you'll find something alot more detailed if you like.

Hey check out the view from my balcony! :) Before moving here I had written down that I wanted to live someplace where I could see the ocean through big glass doors and where the breeze could blow through the house. It happened. That's why you always, always keep writing down your dreams and goals.

Last month was an amazing month for my Life Binder kit. My Etsy sales totalled over $4000 for January! This month, I created an online course for the Female Entrepreneur Association called The Power of Printables and just did a live Google Hangout with Carrie Green showing the behind the scenes of how I've been able to have so much success with printables.

I really don't do anything fancy. I just do a couple things right and consistently put in the effort and energy so that I can't help but get results.

One sneak peek tip: Identify your goal and every day do ONE thing that has to do with getting you closer to achieving it. That's basically my whole strategy for success right there.

I'm in the process of writing a blog post/making a video of how I made $4000 last month on Etsy just with printables, so if you are on my email list, you'll know when that comes out! :)

Here's my little morning ritual nook where I sit and do my personal development and planning. I keep my Daily Planner and my Life Binder here too. You can't see it in the picture because I was using them at that moment. I've learned that when you take the time to "set yourself up for success" in this way, you make it easier to stick to new habits + rituals.

And that's all for this month! Enjoy the printable. I'm super excited to fill it out myself. And leave me a comment if you're liking these posts. Your comments give me energy to keep up the good work. :D

Ever since I decided to switch the Hello Month printables from the beginning of the month to the middle of the month (to help give people a mid-month boost), I've been wondering what I could offer instead each time a brand new month rolls around.

So I came up with the idea to release a pretty + useful wallpaper that you can use to organize your desktop computer AND to share a challenge related to taking 100% responsibility for your life. As you can see on the top of the wallpaper above, I've typed out a wardrobe challenge for this month.

Every month, there will be a new wallpaper and a new challenge.

I hope you like it. :)

HI! So I'm back with another review of what's working for me so far this month. These are so much fun to put together and share. Enjoy!

1

PLANNING AND LEARNING EVERY MORNING

I used to take time to sit down with my Life Binder and review my vision and set my plans a couple times a week. Now I do it every morning.

When I do this, it feels like I'm picking up a bow and arrow, pulling that arrow back, seeing my target and then releasing the arrow to shoot forward swiftly and accurately.

I also (some of the time) use the mornings to work through online courses. That way I can go through my day with new ideas on how I can do what I do even better. (This is a success principle recommended in the book Think and Grow Rich. Every day spend time learning how you can get better at your chosen skill set).

BEING PRESENTABLE ALWAYS

Reading this book by Jennifer L. Scott has helped me undergo not only a wardrobe transformation, but also a mindset transformation.

I used to only "dress up" if I was going somewhere nice. Now I dress in my best clothes even if I'm staying home all day.

Over the past 3 months, I've crafted together a quality wardrobe of 10 core items (mostly dresses from Boden) and now I dress up all the time for my own sake. Try it - your self-image will improve and the effects of that will have a positive impact on every area of your life.

HAVING ONLY ONE GOAL FOR THE SECRET OWL SOCIETY

I set tons of goals without hesitancy or fear of disappointment. Why? Because...

So whatever pops into my mind as something that I want to achieve, I 100% believe that I can achieve it. BUT I also believe that "where focus goes, energy flows," SO as far as which goals I am actively focusing and working on for the Secret OWL Society, I have only ONE. 

And oh-my-goodness, what a difference it makes. I feel like I turned up the power in my brain 50% higher. I've sharpened my focus and am able to make connections and come up with ideas with so much speed and clarity - it feels like a super power.

What's my ONE goal for the Secret OWL Society? I want to help 5000 people transform their lives through using the Life Binder system. This plays out in so many ways, including starting to do YouTube videos and Google Hangouts centered on serving the community of people who have embraced the "Life-Binder Way." :)

GETTING HELP FROM MY SISTER ANGELICA

Woohoo, I've hired my first not-so-virtual assistant! Angelica is now helping me create graphics, manage social media, and take awesome photos of my printables so I can show people real-life peeks inside of the Life Binder and the S.O.S. Club.

I can now check my goal to delegate off the list! Woohoo!

The photo below is of 90 Day Goal printable inside of this month's S.O.S. Kit.

Get Rich Lucky B*** App

Denise Duffield-Thomas' teachings on moving past money blocks have helped me and my sisters ALOT. I've been practicing this tip from her for a while:

1. Set your money goal for the month.

2. Track your income daily.

3. Every time money comes into your life, subtract the amount from your money goal that month.

4. Focus on the new leftover amount as your goal moving forward.

So if your goal for January is to make $5000 and you've made $1700 so far, then the number you should be focusing on now is $3300 (not $5000).

To me, what this does is it helps my brain focus strategically on what I need to do to reach my goal every step of the way.

AND NOW DENISE HAS AN APP TO HELP YOU DO JUST THAT.

It's free and is currently available only for iPhones.

That's all for this month's HELLO review. I hope my findings and epiphanies help you and before you go, here's a free wallpaper for your computer :) ...

How do we "Choose the All"? By doing the best we can. How do we do the best we can? By reflecting on our activity so that we can always be improving it. How do we reflect on our activity? By keeping a written record of it.

Well, for me, I have been putting all this into practice by using my Life Binder on a near-daily basis. It's been by my side for the past 5 years and has helped me develop an awareness around my goals and my progress that I never had before.

To help you experience what I mean, I've taken some of the best bits of my Life Binder and put it into a single-page FREE printable that you can download HERE (no subscription required). Use it to PLAN, DO, and REVIEW your performance each week. You're going to feel amazing as you put it to work and revisit it every day. Hmm, I think my next post will be a video on how I use it myself! :)

Here's what some people are saying about the Ultimate Life Binder:

I love the simplicity of the design and look forward to staying organized and on track in 2016 thanks to the Life Binder. Thank you! - Katie

EVERY Year I spend days/weeks/months searching for the right planner. Each year I'm disappointed because the one I found fails to meet my planning needs. Finally though, I found what suits me! - Lameisha

The printables were exactly as I wanted, simple, elegant and will hopefully prove to be an effective tool in helping to organise my life in 2016 and work out what my priorities are. I feel that the item is competitively priced and my correspondence with the seller was very efficient and courteous. - Karen

As a way of ushering in the new year and thanking you for being a fan of the Secret OWL Society, I created this workbook joybook. ;) I designed this with the intention of helping people feel alot of joy as they set their intentions for the year ahead.

Personally, I always get alot of joy out of writing out my goals. I literally do it every single day. And it's funny because every time I think I'm getting the hand of goal-setting, I realise more and more that goal setting and knowing how to dream in general is a skill and that I'm still learning. It takes practice to dream big. Every time I think that I've set a really big goal, I realise later that it only seemed big to the mindset I had at the time.

Now I really give myself permission to dream. Crazy, wild dreams that don't make any sense - it's just stuff I'd like to experience. One of my dreams is to "walk the red carpet." I have no desire to be an actress or anything. I just thought, "Huh, I'd like to do that one day." So I wrote it down. I 100% believe it's going to happen one way or another.

So I hope you truly HAVE FUN with this 2016 Goal-Setting Joybook. Just let yourself imagine, dream, and believe. And let me know how you like it! :) I might set a tradition to make a new one every year!

Around this time last year, I released this particular printable to help people set their goals for 2015 in a way that takes the pressure off and gets you to respond from your gut.

I started sharing it and then the magic started happening when Carrie Green of the Female Entrepreneur Association created this video around it:

Once again I come to you with another MID month printable. Haha! Honestly, the reason they're mid month lately is because I've been all over the place literally with travel and big events, but I'm actually starting to think that MID MONTH PLANNING is just as valuable as planning at the beginning of the month because it gets you to REVIEW and readjust your sails if you've gotten a bit off course.
