If you can think and write about it, your mind will find a way to make it happen. That’s why athletes and entrepreneurs take time to visualize making the goal or securing funding before the event has even happened.ĭream big and don’t hold back when writing your vision. This fact is based in science, and has been the foundation for excellence training for athletes, entrepreneurs, and leaders. Research has shown that the subconscious mind is responsible for your motivation, drive, and emotions, and it can’t tell the difference between reality and wishful thinking. The idea is that what your mind sees, reads, and processes leads it to believe it is true. Some people write their ideal life (scripting) in present tense, but I prefer to write it in past tense. So basically you’re writing down your ideal life in story form. The best way to describe it is to imagine you are writing your life story-with your dreams having come true. What is scripting? Scripting is a visualization exercise that is meant to help you manifest whatever it is you desire.

For both my personal and professional goals, I like to do something fun called “scripting.” Some people map them out so they have visual motivation, others record milestones to be reached on a calendar. There are many ways to approach setting goals. Don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” - Steve Jobs That sounds nice, doesn’t it? Guess what? It doesn’t have to be a dream. Maybe it starts with a cup of coffee while you journal or read a book, followed by a morning walk before you settle in to work on a proofreading project at a coffee shop? What is the first thing you do? What’s next? Think of the personal and professional activities and obligations you have. It was the best feeling in the world to look at my old Post-its with my ideal day written down and to be living the exact days I had dreamed of.įor this part of the vision planner, map out or write your ideal day. I proofread and edited in the evenings after dinner and on weekends until I got the courage to quit my 9-to-5 job. This led to me having an editorial side hustle. I wanted to see what possibilities existed outside of an office. That’s when I started looking for freelance proofreading and editing jobs I could do from home. I wrote down my ideal day every day, and it eventually made me wonder why I couldn’t have the life I dreamed of. I started to write my ideal day on Post-it notes: take my dog to the park, read the paper, work in coffee shops, exercise, and rest whenever I wanted. It just wasn’t for me, and I craved freedom and flexibility. Many years ago, when I worked in-house at a publishing company, I used to sit in my cubicle and daydream about what I’d be doing instead if I worked from home. Execute on them.” - Gary VaynerchukĪ powerful exercise I’ve been doing for years, and have taught others, is writing your ideal day. How do you want to work and where? This is the fun part, since running an editorial business can be done from anywhere and you get to set your own schedule. How much do you want to make a month? Money is a great motivator and can do so much for us. What kind of clients will you work with? (Businesses, entrepreneurs, writers, nonprofits, etc.) What services will you offer: proofreading, copyediting, or editing? Maybe all of them? In this portion of the Editorial Vision Planner, write down all of the ideas you have for your editorial business. Of course, things can change, but having an idea of what your biz will look like is a key step to actually starting. With a durable faux-leather cover, pen loop, and extra storage pocket, this. When thinking about your editorial business, whether you have yet to start or are already running one, it’s important to take the time to visualize where you want it to go. The planners 8.5-by-11-inch pages leave plenty of space for notes, and the lay-flat binding makes it easy to write.
One thing that they have in common is they start with a dream about what their business will look like, whether it’s full-time or as a side hustle. I’ve helped people from all walks of life start editorial businesses as proofreaders, copy editors, and editors. I’m totally feeling God’s provision and His hand in our lives, and I’m just so grateful for that, and for the perspective.“The future belongs to those who learn more skills and combine them in creative ways.” - Robert Greene If there is one thing I can say right now, it’s that I’m grateful.
The one thing planner full#
We’ve spent the past three weeks moving (although I did squeak out a REALLY rough blog post on that journey over at ), and we’re heading into a full weekend.
Remember that one time my kids spent two weeks at camp and I got more done than a genie on adderall?
