Planning your goals is one thing. Actually achieving them is something else entirely! Are you ready to plan and actually achieve your goals? Which of these tips is your favorite, and do you have any tips of your own to share?
All fantastic advice, Sarra, for anyone who wants to get "from here to there". I want to highlight one thing you said, that it's important to do things that bring you joy which don't have a "point" - it's one thing to avoid burn out, I think, versus actively seeking ways to enjoy the life you are living right at this moment. It might sound weird but feeling happier now makes getting your stuff done easier, and opens you up to more opportunities and possibility. So go do something fun because it's fun, every day, and trust me it will help :)
It's so cool to see the beginnings of HB90. My partner and I have been talking about taking your course for some time now, and now that we're finally getting to a point in our lives where things are more stable and we're fulfilling some of our long-awaited dreams, we'll definitely be looking into the next round probably in 2024! But I'm so grateful for all these tips. I have a lot of work to do on myself, and planning has never been my strong suit. But I think with the guidance you've given to so many people here, I can learn to do this, too, and that's incredibly exciting! Thank you, again, for all your help, Sarra!
Thank you so much for talking about the mental health side of achieving goals. It's so rare to hear someone talk about that, even though it's so important. I used to neglect my mental health in order to achieve my goals, and it took me down a really dark road of mental illness and burnout. I haven't been able to write for years, even though it's my passion. It's only been since I've been learning how to listen to myself recently and put my mental health first that I've been able to start writing a little bit again.
Huge hugs to you. I have been there, as well, and it's a tough road back to the joy of creating. Please take care of yourself and write! Glad to hear you are back at it!
I just discovered the HB90 method, so hopefully I'll be able to participate in the Q3 bootcamp. I'm currently setting up Q2 and really struggling with the "what does success look like to you"-question and the following success question 😅
Just echoing other comments here about the mental health side of things. Thank you very much for talking about this and highlighting the potentially harmful culture of "hustling". Really enjoyed listening to your points.
I love your videos! The plot your novel series is so helpful. I just signed up for the boot camp. Can’t wait. The planner itself is worth signing up. Stay safe!! Here in Louisiana I’m feeling your pain.
You should do a podcast, love to listen to your advice while working! Would be cool to hear you chatting with author friends etc as well, in fact if you had any recommendations for something like this let me know
This video came a good time for me. I have been wanting to implement some of your 90 day planning techniques but knowing how make goals, no matter how many videos I've seen, it's tough for me. This explains it in a way I can grasp it better. I'm also using your schedule for book projects to plan my own. I'm implementing it now. How do you keep on top of it all? I have my schedule but girl, most days I don't feel like following it 🤣 I'm constantly telling myself that I'll have more time tomorrow but I never catch up.
I completely understand! I've found for me that if I put too much on my schedule, I feel overwhelmed and I feel like there's no way I'm going to get it done.. And if I miss a couple of days, I'm already so behind, it's depressing. For me, it's been a constant refining of my process to find that balance between achieving goals that matter and not trying to do too much at once. If you're interested at all, I'd love to have you come to the bootcamp. This is exactly the kind of thing we'll be taking through!
@@HeartBreathings I live in the Midlands now, in Sumter, but my nephews live on John's Island, my cousin lives on Folly, family all over Charleston, lol! Beautiful place.
I hope you stay safe during Florence!! (Also, I hope you do another course because Q4 is too busy with holidays, family visiting, and stuff for me to take it this time 😭 but I really want tooooo)
I've seen "Keyword Research" on your plans for two quarters now. Could you make a video explaining your process? I'm assuming it's for each of your books, or it's also keywords for blogging and UA-cam? I hope I could take the course but if you have it again I hope I get to take it then. I also hope you stay safe and everything goes well.
Yes, the keyword research is there for my books. I've been wanting to see if I can boost sales on Amazon with refreshing my keywords, and I want to Target better for AMS ads which i haven't had much time to play around with yet.
This course is more about the planning process than how to self publish or market your books, but there will be a course about that stuff coming up at the beginning of the year. I'll also be doing some videos free here on UA-cam as always!
Yes, I'm going to put it up separately. I was hoping to already have a Q4 version up by now, but since we had to evacuate, I haven't had a chance to finish it up. I'll post when I do put it up, though!
Yes, I totally get that! It took a long time before I finally found the right balance that helps me to stay motivated, get stuff done, but not get burned out. It's always a struggle, though. Hang in there!

I learned that driving motorcycles: you'll go where you're looking so it's real important to focus where you really want to go. ❤😊

im going to start planning my goals
At 7:15, how do we know what the tasks are for a particular goal? Examples: going wide, getting a Book bub ad, getting my book into libraries, etc.

Also please stay safe during the hurricane!

Heart Breathings Thank you ☺

Hoping you and your loved ones come out the other side of the hurricane safely! Oh, and I'm so excited for the bootcamp!!!
I'm excited too! So glad you're signed up!

Awesome!!! I can't wait. Thanks for joining!
Wow. Powerful video. I really needed to hear this right now. You could've been talking directly to me. Thanks so much for making this video.

Congratulations on your course!!

Thank you so much for the video and stay safe!
Great advice. I put it on my list of recommended videos
Congratulations on getting your course up and running. And I love your videos. (Fellow South Carolinian here, I'm originally from James Island ). 😃
Thank you! And that's awesome. That's where I live :)
@@HeartBreathings I live in the Midlands now, in Sumter, but my nephews live on John's Island, my cousin lives on Folly, family all over Charleston, lol! Beautiful place.
This a great lesson that everyone should hear.
I hope you stay safe during Florence!! (Also, I hope you do another course because Q4 is too busy with holidays, family visiting, and stuff for me to take it this time 😭 but I really want tooooo)
Thank you! And yes I hope to offer it again!
The course looks great, Sarra! I'm always struggling with procrastination and just basic lack of energy. Hopefully this workshop will help. :-)
Thank you Mayra!
Already jumped on your course Sarra!! I'm so excited!!
I am too!! So excited you're in!
I'm seriously so excited too!
LOVE and signed up...whoohoo!
Yay!! Can't wait!
Great tips! I found that if I don’t work a day off into my schedule my mind takes one anyway lol
Great video 👍 Thanks 😄
Great video! Stay safe!
Thanks Hildie! You too!

I'm interested in keywords as well, especially if it's for Amazon ads. :-)

That sounds awesome! Thank you, Sarra!
awesome video!
🎉🎉🎉YAY! I'm in!🎉🎉🎉
Yayyyy!!!!
Will you be putting up the planner on its own? I can't afford the course unfortunately but I feel having the planner may help!
Yes, I'm going to put it up separately. I was hoping to already have a Q4 version up by now, but since we had to evacuate, I haven't had a chance to finish it up. I'll post when I do put it up, though!
I wish I kept my house as clean as yours, yet don't care enough to do it! Lol.
Heck yes! The "hustle" mentality makes me cringe. Thanks Sarra. Your videos are so helpful.
Thanks Sarah! I totally agree!
If only writing the things magically made the things happen...
Yes, I totally get that! It took a long time before I finally found the right balance that helps me to stay motivated, get stuff done, but not get burned out. It's always a struggle, though. Hang in there!
I usually love your videos, but I find this one a challenge to watch because of the jump editing. I just find it distracting. Thank you.
Who has time for this? Can someone just comment a summary of this video.
