Hi friend, how are you?

My world seems to be in turmoil these days. It's nothing dramatic, just general changes and a new direction in life.

A few weeks ago I had a session with a business coach. Her approach lies in the client journaling daily to uncover their own process and so be able to share it with the world.

What showed up after a few days of intense writing in the morning was me contemplating about burning desires. Can you turn a mild interest into a burning desire? Can you have several desires at the same time?

As I battled these questions the coach poked at those and said "You should dig deeper here". When I followed the rabbit hole my own burning desire showed up.

I want a world filled with happy people that all do every day what they enjoy the most. I want to connect them with their burning desire, because from there everything falls into place.

What I discovered quickly is that with my burning desire firmly put in place, I am now way more excited about work. Heck, about life even. It infuses every area of life, and I have a new pep in my steps.

I know where I want to go, now I just have to figure out how to get there.

Over the last couple of days I have come up with a few ideas for digital products to put out there. Inspired by a recent newsletter from Ev Chapman there will be a few free products, some low entry products and one signature product.

Those will revolve around 2 topics - Your Burning Desire and Your Personal Happiness. For me they are absolutely linked, as fulfilling your desire will improve your happiness. But also, without a certain level of happiness you might have a tougher time to figure out what you are burning for.

The products will build on top of each other, and create a ladder a potential client can climb. (Isn't that a nicer metaphor than saying they are tumbling down a funnel?)

I have no idea if any of this will work. Right now, I don't care. I'm just excited, and I hope I can get a few people excited too.

We all have great potential, we all want to see changes in the world. I hope we all can find out utmost burning desire, and work towards the goals it brings with it.

xo, Yvonne

🔨 Currently working on

This week I want to put out one of the free products. It's a worksheet or workbook with journaling prompts to improve your personal happiness. 

The plan is to divide it into 6 areas, and add 7 prompts for each area. That way you can work your way through one of the areas in a week, and the whole book in 6 weeks. 

Or, if you are adventurous you can jump around or dive into several areas at once. It's meant to be playful, instead of hard and serious work.

It will come as a Notion template so you can do the journaling right in there once you have duplicated.
