As someone who loves to reflect and ask questions the tool is based on a set of 3 power questions that instantly help me to see things differently and then to take action to do things differently so I can be different and experience something differently It's something that I find is perfect for getting out of those stuck situations - the stuck-ness can be so overwhelmingly arresting if you let it - so today I ask you to choose limitless, consider living your life your way and get out of what ever 'stucky' thing you're in
What I've learned over the past few years as I've embarked on my own personal and professional journey of transformation is that the way I think about things and the beliefs that I am holding onto have a direct impact on the outcomes I experience in absolutely all areas of my life Today I wanted to share with you a tool that I use regularly to help me to stay focused on the effortless, limitless way to be, do and have

Limitless Life! limitlessly you! creative captions Life can be a great big interesting, twisting, turning journey that can make you feel like you just want to stay completely still as you try to hold onto something to keep you grounded somewhere, some how! Journeying through life gives you a chance to really understand what it means to be Limitlessly You! Each month we’ll share an image that we feel captures the essence of Limitlessly You! We’d love you clicking directly onto the image - then leave your suggestions for a fun, creative caption and we’ll award one Limitlessly You! 30 Minute Consult with Shannon to a lucky subscriber!
Inspiration from around the world Each month we’re planning to share with you a little bit of Creative Possibility inspiration from around the world. This month we’ve been most inspired by an article by Douglas Eby we found on the Psych Central blog called Creative Passion or Just Doing What You Really Want? (you can read the full article here) Why do we love it? We love it because the author highlights the fact that being too concerned with finding our passion can be self-limiting and when it comes to being Limitlessly You! we couldn’t agree more It’s important to explore your passions but don’t get bogged down in having to know it or them intimately or worse still in comparing yourself to others
Comparison is, in our opinion one of the most limiting things you can do (look out for future articles on our blog about this! and read our Limitless Life 5 Minutes With Catrice Jackson to find out more about our shared passion for getting rid of all comparison) Eby draws on comments and discoveries from other articles he’s written and interviews he’s conducted to paint a picture that suggests the most important thing is to just get on with doing what you want to do, rather than getting too caught up in being all passionate about it (you might be anyway and that’s great!) So go forth and just do what you really want!
If you’ve got something to share that you’ve found inspiring in your part of the world we’d love to hear about it. Please send details to the Creative Possibility team at limitless@creativepossibility.com.au

Limitless BUSINESS! DefinE your business intention You may have heard of terms like business vision or business mission. Perhaps you are familiar with what a business vision or mission is. The question is do you know what a business intention is? Your business intention is a statement of intent that defines how you intend to interact with the world. This includes and is not limited to your customers, your community, your business or joint venture partners, your business family, your environment and so much more. Your business intention is as unique as you are and individual, just like your business. You are not the same as the next person. Your business is not the same as that of your competitors. You and your business are an interesting, one of a kind expression in the world and much of that individuality is related to your intention about how you want and will exist in the world Whether you know it or not you do have an intention behind everything you do. Your intention drives you forward. It motivates you. It’s linked to the why - why you started your business, why you work with the people you do, why you share the product or service you do, why you get up everyday and keep moving forward towards experiencing your own succulent effortless success and so much more See defining your Business Intention as a fun, reflective, motivating opportunity to get clear on and make a stand about how you propose to do interact. Your Business Intention can be very specific or rather broad – that will depend on your business and of course it will depend on you
At Creative Possibility our Business Intention is “to provide wholistic, creative, inspiring opportunities for individuals, businesses and teams to create success-filled transformation for themselves and others by teaching them how to leverage their unique personal leadership strengths”
The next step is to try and create your own. There are some key questions one our Business Intention Worksheet available free at www.creativepossibility.com.au/resources to guide you effortlessly through the process Remember most of all it’s all about things being Limitless! so think big, bold and creative if you dare

Limitless BUSINESS! Effortless Success Business Booster! Plan to succeed At the end of the year rapidly approaches now is the perfect time to start planning for next year if you haven’t already. It’s common for people to set aside time early each new year to plan for the coming year however if you want to get an instant advantage then why wait till next year - get started now and be a step ahead of your competitiors If you want to be a success in anything then you’ve got to take action to achieve your goals. At Creative Possibility we suggest you follow this 8 step process when planning to succeed; 1. Define your broad vision for the coming year 2. Define what each of the 8 key areas listed below mean to you a. Growth and Learning b. Abundance c. Contribution d. Health and Wellbeing e. Relationships f. Career / Business g. Creativity h. Spirituality 3. Break your vision down into 4 key goals in each of the 8 key areas listed above (in line with your definition) 4. Determine the priority of your goals and allocate one goal from each area to each quarter or 3 month period during the coming year - these become your focus goals for the period 5. Take the focus goals you defined for the first quarter and break them down into smaller actions that you can use to guide how you use your time day to day, week to week, month to month for the first quarter 6. Keep an accountability journal, or better still get an accountability buddy, to support you to keep your promises to yourself 7. Celebrate each time you achieve one of your actions! 8. Repeat the process one month ahead of each new quarter Find free resources to support you at www.creativepossibility.com.au/resources

Limitless INSPIRATION! 5 Minutes With.... Catrice ‘Empowerment Speaker’ Jackson! It’s our pleasure this month to introduce you to an amazing woman who we just love to bits! To get to know her better we asked her our 5, “5 Minutes With” getting to know you questions and her’s what she had to share with us.....
1. What's the best piece of advice you've ever received? I've been fortunate to have received so many wonderful nuggets of information to create personal and professional success
2. Did you make any shifts in yourself to get where you are today? How did you make them? I have made a ridiculous amount of shifts personally, strategically and spiritually. No one tells you that entrepreneurship is a spiritual journey that requires you to dig deep to release the soul of who you are in life and buiness. Every shift big or small has brought me to this place in business; a place where I get to create every moment consciously to experience the life I want to live. The biggest shifts I made along the way were honoring my emotional energy by giving my time and energy to things and people that made deposits in my life instead of withdrawls. The second shift I made was changing my mindset from a place of wishing and praying to believing and taking action. Lastly but most importantly, I chose to live life on my own terms and to stop comparing the success of others to my own success. All of these shifts have helped me be in a place of truth and have set me free from the shoulda-couldas of life. I don't live by anyone else's rules. I create my own rules and I am confident in the divine gifts that only I can share with the world
black and white moments but the grey areas scare the heck out of us. The grey moments are the times when we don't know what to expect, what to do or what is going to happen. I've also learned that the grey moments are what I call "God University." The grey moments are divinely set up for us to take a front row seat in God's classroom to get a lesson and be enlightened so we can fully rise up into our highest potential. When the grey moments show up, I lean into them with as much grace as possible, trust the process and hold tight to my faith knowing that when I lean in with grace the struggle is not as paralyzing or painful. I also increase the amount of effortless by trusting my inner voice and guidance to take inspired action on what feels right in the moment. When I listen to this powerful inner voice I am able to be and do what I love with less effort Read the full “5 Minutes With Catrice Empowerment Speaker Jackson” Limitless Inspiration Feature and find out more about Catrice and her amazing work here
3. What do you do for yourself to increase the amount of "effortless" in your life? I've learned to lean into every twist and turn in life and have grace in the grey. We know what to expect in the If you think you’ve got a Limitlessly You! Story about Life or Business that you’d love to share we’d love to hear from you. Send an email telling us about what makes you limitless to limitless@creativepossibility.com.au and we’ll send you an application.
