Expansions with benefits
Let's dream without expectation of action or result today
Today, put on your entrepreneurial hat and make a list of at least ten ways you could expand something you’re currently doing in order to deeply and profoundly benefit yourself. The key part there is "in order to benefit yourself.” That could mean financially, creatively, emotionally, or any other way, but don’t add it to the list if it might, say, earn you more money but would also wear you out. Only things that bring a benefit. Let’s imagine freely and openly for a little while and just see what we write down, even if we do absolutely nothing with it.
The point here, is that we often focus our brainstorming around money and expansion-for-expansion’s sake stuff, and rarely allow ourselves to just dream freely without needing to do something about it. Allow yourself space here. If expanding your writing practice would bring you joy, write it down, and figure out later what would need to be traded or added in order to actually create that time or new genre. If walking outside more often would bring you peace and chillness, write it down. You get the idea. Let’s go.
