The super powered bucket list

I'm not a big believer in having a bucket list that is just a list. 

It just becomes this thing that we do once and set aside.

And then we pull it out of a drawer while decluttering five years later, and think "Oh Yeah, I forgot I did that."

A few months ago, I put together what I call my Lustrous Life list.

It's a Kanban board where each column is titled with the year.

And each card represents something from my bucket list.

These can include things that I want, things that I want to do, things I want to learn, whatever.

It pretty much includes EVERYTHING.

What makes it super powerful are three key ideas.

First, each card has a due date. I have due dates that go out as for as 2027. Due dates make things become REAL. 

Second, the app I use (notion.so) allows me to add pictures, so each card has a picture that inspires me. 

Third, I review the board every morning as part of my morning routine. It's a PHENOMENAL visualization tool.

Here's a partial screengrab of my board...

Instead of having just a list of things that I want someday / maybe...

I've got projects to complete in a visual board that motivates me and inspires me to take action towards them every single day.

Give it a try.

See what you think.

With love & joy,

Selena

Sometimes when I talk to coaches, they tell me they’re trying to grow their coaching business.But then when we dig into what they’re doing on a weekly basis…It becomes clear that what they’re really doing is creating an expensive hobby for themselves.It usually looks something like this… (based on my first few years in “business”

Do you want a hobby or a business?

Several years ago, I signed up for a course on selling from a coach who promised we could increase our conversion rates by 50%. That would be amazing if it were true. But it wasn’t.At least for me. About every 10 minutes in the course, I thought, “There’s NO WAY I’m doing that.”Her approach was hard selling at

Recently I set the record straight that growing a business can be simple, but not always easy. And like many things that are difficult, it’s worth it. Because on the other side of this challenge is a more confident and more capable you. And a life where you make good money doing meaningful work that you love. Now to get there,

Tired of selling yourself as a coach?

Yesterday a gal on Instagram sent me a DM after she’d read one of my posts… “What the heck is a coaching framework?” Great question! If you’ve been around for awhile, you’ve probably heard me mention how important it is to have your own proprietary, unique to you coaching framework. But… what exactly is it? Simply put, a Coaching Framework

What the heck is a coaching framework?

A few days ago, I was talking with a friend who’s been struggling to find new clients. She’s a very smart and accomplished woman.
