This bonus expires tonight...

Hello friends! It’s been about 24 hours since we opened enrollment in our [upcoming cohort of Focus Academy: Follow Through in 2022](, which means two things: 1: You only have until midnight tonight to get The Personal Retreat Workshop as a free bonus when you join. It’s going to give you the perfect plan for recharging and staying fresh throughout the year so you can make steady progress toward your goals (without burning out). 2: You’re less than 72 hours away from the start of the New Year. Woo, boy. Gut check time... This is when those goals and plans you’ve been thinking about start to get real. As the holidays wind down and your "real life" schedule and responsibilities (not to mention the calendar notifications) start to reenter the picture, a scary question pops up in the back of our minds: "How am I going to do it all?" Here’s the honest answer you need to hear right now: You can’t "do it all" in every area of your life at all times. The lie we like to tell ourselves is that a balanced life looks something like this: Six neat, tidy areas. All being given your full attention. All in perfect harmony. If you’ve ever tried that approach, you know it’s just not possible. There is no way you can deploy your full attention to your health, your relationships, your finances, your career, your inner personal life, and restful hobbies all at the same time. Real life looks a lot more like this: Different areas demand different levels of attention at different times. Yet so often we fall into the trap of giving a particular area NO attention when we feel like we can’t give it our full attention. Whether it’s ignoring our health, or letting a valued relationship fall by the wayside, or neglecting the need to rest and recharge throughout the year. That’s why it’s critical to know two things as 2022 begins to take shape… - The 1 or 2 areas of life where you’re going to direct your focus (and how you’re going to keep it there). - The small habits and routines that are going to keep the other areas of life on track instead of falling into disrepair. This is something that you don’t find in other programs like ours. And it is one of the key things we’re going to [tackle together in the upcoming Focus Academy cohort](. It’s not just about giving you the tools you need to hit your goals this year — it’s about ensuring you hit them while still maintaining a healthy balance across all areas of life (even when one or two get unexpectedly hectic). Ultimately, that’s what makes the difference in staying committed and following through once your initial burst of New Year’s excitement fades. It’s how the most successful people maintain breathing room in their daily life while also being so prolific and productive... And after I coach you through Focus Academy, you’ll be able to do the same. Over the course of 4 weekly sessions, we’re going to cover: - The 5 Components of a Focused Life: These five components make up the core framework inside Focus Academy. You will discover what each component is, how they tie together, and how to use them as a tool for both diagnosing and solving problems related to your habits, schedule, tasks, goals, and motivation. - Delightful Goal Setting (Big & Small): You will identify life goals for each of the 6 major areas of your life and discover how your small actions tie into the larger desired outcomes you have. - Time Management & Your Ideal Schedule: You’re going to discover how to reduce your commitments and priorities and how to establish time in your schedule for doing the things that you value (and that only you can do). - How to Live A Life with Margin: Do you have the breathing room, health, and strength you need in order to lean into each area of your life? Margin exists for relationships and thus it enables you to be present for your most important roles and responsibilities in life. A life without margin is a life on the edge of burnout. - And so much more! Seriously. The above is just a snapshot of the curriculum that hundreds of leaders and creators have used to transform the results they’re getting in life.

I’d LOVE for you to join us! [thefocuscourse.com/academy]( — Shawn P.S. One of the special things about Focus Academy is the community of like-minded people it puts around you. There’s something about working toward your goals alongside others that unlocks another level of accountability and commitment inside us. I distinctly remember the words of one of our recent Academy alums, Andy, when he described what the community meant to him: "As I listened to the examples from everyone else of what they were working on, things finally clicked for me. It gave me an inner permission to actually focus more on what matters for myself as well." You don’t have to go it alone this year.
