The Six Month Bucket List

When was the last time you made a bucket list for your business... not based on goals, revenue, or productivity, but on the kind of life you want to be living?

In this short episode, Carla shares a simple exercise from a recent mastermind to help you reconnect with what lights you up before the rest of the year slips away. Grab your journal, answer five reflective questions, and create a six-month bucket list that brings more intention, adventure, and aliveness into your work and your life.

Your business isn't just something you're building.

It's something you're living.

A Mindset Shift To Live Differently

SPEAKER_00 0:00

A deep change in the way that we live requires a deep change in the way that we think. I'm Carla Reeves and this is Differently. Welcome back to Differently. I'm so glad you're here and I'm so delighted that you take time out of your busy schedule to listen here.

Midyear Check In And Momentum

SPEAKER_00 0:20

We did something really cool in the mastermind that I lead this last week, and I want to share it with you. So we're a little more than halfway through the year. And if you're anything like me, your calendar is filling up and your to-do list is growing. But are you making meaningful progress that you set out to create this year?

Build A Six Month Bucket List

SPEAKER_00 0:39

So before the year gets away with you, I want to give you an exercise to create your six-month bucket list. This can include your business or working life, but I want you to remember that it's not so much about how much money you want to make, how many clients you want to have. It's more about what kind of life you actually want to be living along the way. As business owners, a lot of times we don't have a bucket list. We have task lists or launch lists, marketing lists, content calendars. But somewhere along the way, we stop asking, what do

Five Prompts To Find What Matters

SPEAKER_00 1:12

I actually want to experience? Are the motions I'm making leading to the life I want to be living? So I want to share a couple examples from my list to get you thinking. And then I'm going to give you a set of questions to get your own list started. So when I made my list, a few things that showed up was one, do something I think I can't do inside of my business. Another one was take a photography class. Another one was build the next journal. And another was attend a retreat of some kind that is related to growth, me growing inside of my business. So those are some ideas to get you thinking. I want you to grab a notebook, set a timer for five or eight minutes, and here's five questions. Number one, what inspired you recently? Describe it. Number two, when was the last time you felt really alive and what were you doing? Number three, what currently feels scary in a good way? Number four, what's something you've wanted to do for a very long time? And number five, over the next six months, what do you want to feel, experience, and do?

Make It Real And Start Living

SPEAKER_00 2:36

Now it's time to go make your list. Remember, this isn't a list to try to impress yourself or others. It's a list that makes you excited to wake up tomorrow. One of the things I realize is that we're really good at planning our life. And sometimes we're not as good at living our life. So this bucket list, while it might not change things overnight, it can change how you walk through your day. We can't forget our life isn't just something we're planning, it's something we're living. Okay, off to making your list. I'll see you next week.
