Heart-Centered Goals




Good writers leave their heart on the page ... whether it's fiction, non-fiction, novels, screenplays, essays, or anything else. Writing is also a business. When you put your heart into the business of writing, it shows an authenticity that prospects, clients, and your audience will respond to and love. 

I recently spoke with Marketing Magician Dean Hankey, Spiritual Intuitive Life & Business Coach Erin MacCoy, and Mali Phonpadith, Founder & SEO SOAR Community Network on an episode of #GoalChatLive about what it means to be heart-centered in business. 

When you lead with your heart (Erin), express yourself from a place of truth (Mali), and your choose to be nice, it shows in all you put our in the world.

Heart-Centered Goals 

  • Mali: Find a practice that works for you to uncover what you want to focus on. For example, meditation and journaling. 
  • Erin: Practice gratitude. Write down 3 things you are grateful for every day.
  • Dean: Ask yourself these questions: Who can I help? How can I help? Help people identify and cross the “caring” chasm. Think VIP. Add Value to people that adds Impact for others, so that everyone Profits
Watch our conversation.

Final Thoughts 

  • Dean: Find ways to be value, service, and support to others 
  • Erin: Let bliss be the primary motivator 
  • Mali: Practice self-love and self-compassion
Your heart needs to show in all aspects of your creative work - not what's just on the page. Lead from the heart and all else will follow.
