Hello Power Women β and welcome to another episode with me, your host Aubyn Palmer. β And it is so fun to be recording this episode right now, β right before July 4th. I hear fireworks in the background and I'm hoping you don't hear them too. β But if you do hear random banging noises, I'm just gonna roll with it and still record this episode. β It is July 3rd and where I live, I don't know if this is true where you live, but everyone loves.
Aubin Palmer (00:30)
to β do fireworks for nights beforehand and probably after too. And fireworks are fun. I love them. It's fun to celebrate and it's a fun holiday where we celebrate β and get to β enjoy the summer and being with family and friends. And I hope you're enjoying the summer too. I love the 4th of July too to kind of mark halfway through the summer, halfway through the year β and really believe that.
Aubin Palmer (01:01)
When we look at our year from β January to December, it's 12 months, but we could also break it into two years. So β let's say that instead of saying July β 1st, we're saying January 1st, but it's called July instead of January, right? And just think about how you feel β in β January. You β are reviewing the last year.
Aubin Palmer (01:30)
you're learning from the last year β and you're setting new goals. You're ready to do new things. And I have seen β so many times that people can use the middle of the year β as a glass half empty or a glass half full kind of thing. Like where is half of the year so far? Is it going well? Is it not? And then use that to forecast how the rest of the year is gonna go. β And...
Aubin Palmer (01:59)
that doesn't have to be the case. Something about half is just like a big marker for us in our minds. And if you look at how your business has been doing so far, the last six months, you don't have to let that mean that you're only halfway to your goals for the year, or that that is gonna be how the second half of the year goes. But that's so often what our minds, our subconscious can do very quickly. And...
Aubin Palmer (02:28)
We can believe that, you can listen to that, or you can take charge and you can decide, no, this is good. I am learning from the last six months. I am building momentum from the last six months, and I am starting fresh. I'm starting anew and take that same energy you have in January and use it in July and make July your new year. So what I want you to first do is write down
Aubin Palmer (02:56)
everything that is going well for you, β all the wins that you have had in the last six months. β And this you might think is obvious that you don't even need to do this, but let me tell you why this is so important and this is the first step, because we often forget when it becomes your reality, when you're just used to it, it's in the present, our minds feel safe β and easily forget. And the power of gratitude and recognition for what you have,
Aubin Palmer (03:25)
gives you so much momentum and power to move forward. So β I challenge you to list at least 10 things that are going for you. That might stretch you a little bit if things aren't working how you thought they would so far this year, but I want you to give room for your business and your life. So this can be relationships, your health, your personal growth, your spirituality.
Aubin Palmer (03:53)
All of this is included in things that are working for you so far this year. β And just measuring it from January 1st, 2025, till the end of June. β And when I did this, β I was so fascinated that even just writing it down, there were things I knew had happened, but just feeling that energy of accomplishment and gratitude of, β my gosh, 2025 is going great for me. And I knew that, but I felt it even more.
Aubin Palmer (04:22)
And I was just writing things that like I've talked a ton about on here. Like I had a great retreat in January in Scottsdale, Arizona. β I participated in the Mrs. Utah pageant in March and had my own personal victory. β I've had some great successful launches and big new offers I've been doing and working with great amazing women, Power Women clients, β and just made a big pivot in my brand to really go all in to Power Women. I'm...
Aubin Palmer (04:48)
put my book into Amazon before July, so it's gonna come out for sale in July, β I submitted it in June. And so these are just some examples for you to hear. β These were great things for me to write down. I knew all these things had happened, but seeing it on a list like that, so powerful. β And also just things like my marriage has gotten so much better, we've been doing so much work, I'm building stronger relationships with my daughters.
Aubin Palmer (05:15)
We're going on a trip in July, but we've been planning it together and just having fun doing that. Just like things like this that you can write. I've also been doing a lot of personal work, feeling closer to myself, getting closer to my true self and knowing her better, listening to her every day, asking her what I should do each day. Like these victories are huge. 2025 is a power year. And yeah, before I that list, I'd been like, yeah, this year's going good. I think so. Yeah, it's been a good year.
Aubin Palmer (05:45)
So I challenge you to write your list and I share my examples for you just to see like it can be anything and it's your victories, it's your wins, it's your celebrations for 2025. Now, when you're in that energy of gratitude and power, take that and use that to see how can I use this for momentum for what I still want to create in 2025 part two. So you can either call it a new year or you can call it 2025 part two.
Aubin Palmer (06:13)
But just thinking of July 1st, beginning of July, we're still in the beginning, as a new year and that nothing's wrong, nothing you're not behind, you don't need to feel urgent, there's no rush, it's a new year, what are you going to create the next six months? Because what if years were six months instead of 12? It's just whatever limit we've created on it as a society and you get to decide that for yourself. So then your next part is to write 10.
Aubin Palmer (06:41)
10 things you're going to create in the next six months. And this is consciously saying your desires. I've done lots of episodes about this of really tuning into yourself and getting these answers from your true self, your future self, from God, from your intuition, because these desires come to you because they are possible, because they do come from the future, from yourself that knows what's possible. And when you tune into that, you know it.
Aubin Palmer (07:11)
it just feels so much better. It's so much more authentic and not just following what everyone else does, β but what you want to create β and β be as big as you want. I really love to say with goals and ideas to not hold yourself back. β I remember I worked with a client several years ago when I would challenge her to do this, she would get so frustrated and she said, β I don't want to write any goals. I don't know how to create.
Aubin Palmer (07:39)
have to be goals I've done before, I know how to just do it again. And I challenged her on that and I said, is that really helping you grow? Is the point of the goal to just help you do things you already know how to do? Or is it to push you and help you create new things and get out of your comfort zone and do things that feel impossible now but are totally in your potential? β And as we worked together, it was so good for her to β put bigger goals and β
Aubin Palmer (08:09)
She achieved all of them, but she had to first believe it was possible and get out of her comfort zone. And it was things like making more money, but also working less, having a nanny, creating better boundaries with her time, getting higher level clients. These are the kind of goals we worked on. And she was so stuck in creating goals that she knew she could create so that she could feel good about herself and that she accomplished them. And what I really challenged her is to...
Aubin Palmer (08:37)
not make the goal successful only if you accomplish it, especially when we put a timeframe on it, β but to β really make the goal about stretching your identity into becoming that version of yourself. And so when we did that, she was much more open into setting these big goals with the desires that came from her. As a coach, I never tell you what to desire. I help you β look inside yourself and help you find it.
Aubin Palmer (09:03)
but getting out of your comfort zone and trusting yourself to do that. And so it was so cool to watch her do that. And you know, all the girls didn't just poof happen right away, but as I've stayed in contact with her, they have all happened. And that's what I'm challenging you to do is you write down these 10 things that you're wanting to do for 2025 part two, and to really lean into that and feel it and let that be what you create.
Aubin Palmer (09:33)
And if it doesn't happen by December, that's okay. Like I said, when we put a timeframe on it, sometimes that come backfire and we think that it didn't work and we failed. And what if it happened in January or what if it happens in February of next year? Like, was that really failure? No. And I really believe with manifestation with creation, time doesn't matter. So we put our timeframes on it to help challenge us for us not just to sit around and wait for it to happen.
Aubin Palmer (10:02)
but to not let the time ever be β a marker of failure or it didn't work. So when you're creating 2025 part two, I want you to lean into these desires and to care mostly about what they are, the desire itself β and why you feel it. And when you give yourself that why, it gives you your power. The why is your power. If you just have a random number, it's...
Aubin Palmer (10:30)
pointless, it's just a number. But when you say, β I wanna have, for example, if you're saying I wanna make six figures, I wanna have at least $100,000 coming into my business here because why? Answering the why, I'm ready to hire an assistant. I'm ready to take my family on a trip. I'm ready to hire out all my bookkeeping and someone to edit my podcast or to manage my social media. β
Aubin Palmer (10:59)
saying these whys gives you so much more motivation and belief in it because then it's not just money, it's not just a number, it's a purpose. β And β also I love to say with money, when I set money goals for myself, it's because that means I helped 20 more women. It means I helped make bigger impact in the world with what I have as a gift that I'm sharing with others. And so β saying that like I'm helping.
Aubin Palmer (11:27)
X amount of more people with what I provide and really feeling that service energy of what you do because all business is service. That's what people are buying from you. And so feeling that passion and then what it's going to do for you will create a beautiful rest of this year. β And β using this middle of the year to reset and to feel the power β of that this year has worked for you. β The first six months have been beautiful.
Aubin Palmer (11:56)
even if it wasn't what you thought it would be, it is working for you and feeling that gratitude β and using it as momentum to create 2025 part two and to feel it. β And β I attest that feeling this abundance of time and abundance of purpose will help you so much in the creation of it. β And β I used to be a very β high stress, high urgent, high momentum person.
Aubin Palmer (12:26)
before I was even an entrepreneur. That's just how I lived my life. And it's so fascinating because as I became an entrepreneur and a coach, I've really slowed down, which a lot of entrepreneurs in business are not slowed down. They are more rushed. They are more, β I have to get success. I have to feel good. And learning to just feel good and let my life create what I want, the feeling of wholeness, of abundance, and then use that abundance to run my business.
Aubin Palmer (12:56)
That is how I have created my success and how I enjoy every single day. And why setting goals for the rest of 2025 is not stressful, is not an ultimatum if I'm good enough or not. It's just a creation process β and feeling that desire to create and to do more is innate in all of us as human beings. But if you're already running a business, it is β very passionate for you. So lean into that. β Let's create β a second
Aubin Palmer (13:26)
part of the year just as powerful as the first, if not more. β And I believe strongly that if you set big goals for 2025 as a whole and you're not halfway there, that does not mean that you're not gonna happen. So revisiting those goals and seeing how you're still gonna create them this second half of the year, I promise is possible. It is a beautiful process. β And β one of my favorite stories of when this happened for me was my second year in business in...
Aubin Palmer (13:55)
2022, I love numbers, so I set, okay, it's my second year in business, it's 2022, so my goal is to make 22K. And in my heart, I really wanted to make six figures, but I think I was still scared to even go that far, because I hadn't even made, my first year, I think I made just under 10K, so I was like, okay, I'm gonna over-double it to 22, it's year 22, I feel safe, I don't know how to do it. I feel like I was stretching myself.
Aubin Palmer (14:19)
and I believed in it so much and I did the work to embody it. I worked with so many amazing people. I raised my prices a lot for at the time of being a new coach. And when it got to the end of the year, I wasn't at 22K and I was so sad because I really wanted that number to be just nice and tidy at the end of 2022. And so I was making the time matter and it didn't. I think I was at like 15 or 16.
Aubin Palmer (14:49)
And β I β was still happy and celebrated that, but I β let it kind of mean like, maybe I didn't do enough or maybe I did something wrong. β But then I played with the numbers β and I added up how much people collectively owed me if as what they were going to pay me the months after even December. So like people sign up for packages usually with me. So three months, six months, 12 months. I don't think I was doing 12 months yet at the time. β And so
Aubin Palmer (15:18)
if all of that money came in that people were paying monthly from what I had been promised in contracts in 2022, it came to exactly $22,000. And that was such a cool experience to see that what I wanted to create that year happened, but not exactly how I thought it would β and not exactly with all the...
Aubin Palmer (15:45)
like little, okay, it's exactly my bank account by the December 31st, but it still happened. And I created that money. And when I felt it that way, it was a huge internal success for me. And I really saw β I can create what I want to. I create what I believe in. And it's not about if I met the goal exactly or how I thought it was or by this date, but it's believing in what we create and putting out those desires and doing the work.
Aubin Palmer (16:13)
in our energy, how we're thinking and feeling and our actions. All of that is our power as Power Women in Business, but it's possible. So I'm so excited for you as you create 2025 part two. And if you want any help, I am actually doing just an open coaching call this coming Friday, July 11th.
Aubin Palmer (16:39)
and coaching is just where I help you actually go deeper into β you. β And I'm not gonna teach, I'm not gonna tell you what to do, I'm gonna coach you and help pull the desires and the limiting beliefs that are blocking you, creating new beliefs, really empowering you to create the 20-25 you want. It's on the 11th at 11 a.m., $11. β 11 is a power number for me, so I am making it a power number for you. β
Aubin Palmer (17:07)
in coming to this open coaching call. I'll put the link in the show notes so you can sign up β and come because this will be a great chance. I really just wanna help you make this a powerful year. 2025 is in part two now. β Let's be in full power together and create no limitations of goals, but full intentions and full desires β in β creation.
Aubin Palmer (17:36)
So I see you Power Women, I feel your power and I want you to help to feel it even more. That's what I'm here for. And hopefully I'll see you on Friday on our Zoom call. It's just called Power Open Coaching. β And β if I don't see you there, I'll see you here again next week at least. And that will be another great way for us to β move forward together in power as Power Women. All right, see you then. β
