Quarterly Goals Update: What I'm Manifesting Before The End Of This Year · Feminine Fire with Bec Cuzzillo

• 0:48
  Hello, hello, hello.
• 0:50
  Welcome back to another quarterly goals update.
• 0:54
  It is now Q4.
• 0:56
  We are three months out from the end of 2026, and if you've been following along this year, you know that it has been quite a ride.
• 1:04
  At the start of the year, I shared my vision board for 2026, and my word of this year is bold.
• 1:11
  I declared that 2026 would be my bold year, and I knew that word would likely lead to some pretty uncomfortable places.
• 1:21
  And to be honest, holding bold energy for an entire year has been quite a lot, but we will get into that shortly.
• 1:29
  Let me give you the quick rundown of where we're at.
• 1:32
  At the start of this year, I set myself a big, audacious goal of having a 300K year in business, which would mean more than doubling my yearly revenue while also being a mum of three with a baby at home with me full time.
• 1:47
  So I set this goal for myself.
• 1:49
  At the start of this year, I was four months postpartum with my third baby.
• 1:55
  If that is not bold, I don't know what is.
• 1:57
  Anyway, I committed to doing the inner and the outer work required to actually hold that vision and bring it to life, and I have been bringing you along for the ride ever since.
• 2:07
  So being Q4, this is the final quarterly update for the year.
• 2:12
  I will be doing a full end of year wrap up episode in December to round it all out and give you the final update on all of my goals, which means that today I'm not going to go into all of the nitty-gritty details on absolutely everything.
• 2:25
  I'm going to focus on the most relevant threads, where I'm at, what's happened, and what I'm calling in for this final stretch of the year, because there is still a lot I am calling in before this year is done.
• 2:39
  So let's start with a goals update.
• 2:41
  Where are we at with this 300K goal?
• 2:44
  Well, I can quite honestly tell you that we are nowhere near that goal, and I'm gonna be so real with you right now.
• 2:50
  I will be very surprised if I hit it.
• 2:53
  Now, I'm really mindful of how I speak about this and how I think about this because it absolutely is still possible, and part of the manifestation process is seeing that reality.
• 3:05
  At the same time, for me to hit 300K this year, I would need to have a 150K cash quarter.
• 3:13
  That is cash, cash in the bank, not just sales, cash sitting in my bank account.
• 3:20
  And when I look at where my business is, where I am, and what my capacity is like over the next few months, it is quite a delusional goal.
• 3:28
  150K sales would still be a stretch, but is more likely.
• 3:33
  150K cash in the bank, kinda delulu at this stage.
• 3:38
  So I have readjusted my goals for this quarter based on where I'm at right now energetically and in life, which I will be sharing more on in this episode shortly.
• 3:47
  But despite all of that, I am actually really happy with where I'm at financially in the business right now.
• 3:54
  This has already been our biggest financial year in business ever I've shared this a few times on the podcast already, but I wanna say it again because it deserves its moment, particularly in the context of this quarterly update.
• 4:08
  Despite not hitting the 300K goal, despite having a baby at home with me full time, despite needing to readjust my goals for this quarter, this is the year I have made more money than ever before in 10 years in business.
• 4:23
  So while a 300K year is a big stretch at this point, I have already won, and I am really, really proud of that.
• 4:32
  Okay, a quick update on some of my smaller goals for this year.
• 4:36
  On the audience growth front, I hit 3,000 followers on Instagram in Q3, which was a really fun milestone to celebrate.
• 4:44
  One of the biggest business celebrations from the year, and this happened in Q2, but I'm gonna share it again here, has been my in-person immersion, which I brought back in May for the first time in over 18 months, and it was such a success that I am running another one in November.
• 5:00
  When this episode drops, we will have just opened the doors publicly.
• 5:05
  At the time of recording, we have three incredible women behind the scenes in already.
• 5:10
  So I expect these spaces to fill fast for this one.
• 5:13
  So if you are on the New South Wales South Coast or you're able to travel here, I would absolutely love to have you join us.
• 5:20
  It is the most lush, intimate mastermind style day.
• 5:24
  There is guided meditation, there is Reiki, there is sound healing, and we actually get to work on your business.
• 5:30
  In our mastermind sessions, you get coaching and consultation time with me.
• 5:34
  There's a photographer who comes in and takes headshots, so everyone leaves with beautiful, fresh photos of themselves, and it's hosted in the most incredible venue with amazing catering and a beautiful long table lunch together.
• 5:46
  It is such a lush day.
• 5:49
  I will pop the link in the show notes for you if you are thinking about it.
• 5:52
  You can also come and chat with me on Instagram at bec_cuzzillo.
• 5:56
  And I love my online work, I really, really do, but there is just something so magic about being in the room together with women in real life.
• 6:05
  So I'm really looking forward to that in Q4 Okay.
• 6:09
  Then we have my beautiful backyard studio, which has been on the vision board for many years and is finally coming to life this year.
• 6:17
  It is so, so close to being done.
• 6:20
  In the last quarterly update midyear, I think I said that I expected to be recording this episode from there by now.
• 6:28
  Well, we are not quite there yet.
• 6:30
  It has been a slow-moving project, but we are so, so close.
• 6:36
  The flooring is about to go in, and then we've just got the electrical and a few final bits and pieces.
• 6:42
  But I am expecting to be in there by the end of October, so watch this space.
• 6:48
  We do still have a deck to build after that, but I will move in before the deck is finished.
• 6:54
  So by the time I record the end of year wrap-up, I fully expect to have been in there and settled for a little while.
• 7:02
  let's see if that happens.
• 7:03
  I am manifesting that for this quarter, for sure Finally, on the personal side of things when it comes to my health and wellness goals, I set out this year to be the healthiest and fittest version of myself by the end of this year, which considering I was four months postpartum at the start of this year, was quite a bold goal.
• 7:26
  And I will be honest, it has been up and down.
• 7:28
  I have had stretches of real consistency this year, and then quite a few periods where it has fallen off completely.
• 7:35
  Again, this is a season of life capacity energetic thing, but I am recommitting to this goal in Q4 with slightly less pressure on myself because some is better than none, and right now there is not a lot happening in that space.
• 7:52
  So that's the goals update.
• 7:53
  Let's get into what happened in Q3 and where I'm at right now coming into Q4.
• 8:00
  Because Q3 was a really stretchy quarter, and as I've shared and alluded to a couple of times, on an energetic level I was really, really feeling it.
• 8:11
  And there's a few things that have contributed to this, but the biggest being where I'm at right now in this season of life as a mum Ruben turned one in August, which is honestly just so wild to say.
• 8:24
  I cannot believe he is already more than 12 months old, and he is a very, very busy baby.
• 8:30
  He very much keeps me on my toes every single day, and the juggle of mum life and biz life has been a lot more challenging to manage in this last quarter.
• 8:42
  And I remember getting to this age with Hugo at home with me full time too.
• 8:46
  It is just a lot.
• 8:48
  There is not a lot of time or space, and those pockets of time that you do get, you need to be on it.
• 8:55
  And if you're not feeling particularly productive or creative or inspired in that moment when you sit down that you do get, it's really hard, and some days it feels like things that should take five minutes take a lot longer because my brain is just not firing on all cylinders like it needs to be in the exact moment that it needs to happen.
• 9:17
  So I've really been feeling that stretch this quarter, even though I very gratefully have a lot of support.
• 9:24
  For example, my dad has been an absolute godsend in this season.
• 9:28
  He often comes over most weeks to look after Ruben when I have client calls booked in, which means that I get to show up fully present for my clients on those calls.
• 9:39
  But outside of that, I'm doing most of my work in the gaps of my day, during nap times, after the boys go to bed, in the afternoon when Matt gets home and he's cooking dinner and I can jump into my office and get a little bit of work done.
• 9:53
  And in those moments, particularly after the boys are in bed, 8:30 PM rolls around, I've had a big day of mumming, of serving clients, of doing all the things.
• 10:02
  I sit down in my office, I often don't have a lot of creative juice left.
• 10:08
  And this is the first time that I've had a business of this size with this many clients with a baby at home with me full time.
• 10:15
  So I am more stretched than I have ever been before So that's how I've been feeling personally this quarter, which then it should come as no surprise that my August launch of The Mistress Mind, which we wrapped up just a couple of weeks ago, didn't quite go to plan.
• 10:33
  We didn't hit our launch goal.
• 10:35
  I did welcome in some incredible new women to the program, which I am just so happy about, but I didn't hit the numbers that I was going for.
• 10:43
  And a big part of that is this energetic capacity piece that I've been talking about.
• 10:50
  I recognized from that launch during this last quarter that if I kept pushing in this way, I was really running the risk of burning myself out, and I'm not here to build a business that burns me out.
• 11:03
  I'm also not here to sacrifice this time with my kids.
• 11:07
  Ruben is already one.
• 11:09
  They are not going to be this little forever.
• 11:13
  And while that 300K goal has served me so well this year, I don't need to work myself into the ground and sacrifice this time with my kids in this season all for some number on a spreadsheet, especially not when my business is already doing so well.
• 11:30
  I already have the most incredible clients.
• 11:33
  Ultimately, my goal is to run my business in a way where I can serve my clients really well and create an abundant, spacious life for myself and my family.
• 11:43
  That is number one for me.
• 11:45
  Whether I hit 300K this year or next year or even the year after, that's not the point.
• 11:51
  The point is a sustainable business that supports this season of life.
• 11:56
  So I've had to make some really honest decisions about what I'm willing to do and what I'm not willing to do in the pursuit of that goal, and what it really looks like to embody boldness.
• 12:07
  Coming back to my word of this year, I've been really thinking about what that looks like.
• 12:13
  Maybe the bold thing is to share this with you very honestly like I am now.
• 12:18
  Maybe the bold thing is to change my mind and shift how I'm doing things while still being able to hold this big, bold vision for myself and my life and my business Maybe the bold thing is to work on expanding my energetic capacity to hold more in this season of life, which I talked about a whole lot more in last week's episode of the podcast.
• 12:41
  If you haven't listened in yet, I will link it in the show notes for you.
• 12:44
  It is definitely worth a listen because I dive deep into this energetic capacity piece that I've really been exploring for myself personally because that is the work that I'm doing right now heading into Q4.
• 12:57
  I am doing things a little differently.
• 13:00
  So let's talk about that now.
• 13:02
  First and foremost, after my launch, I gave myself permission to really rest and reset, which is what I've been doing for the last couple of weeks.
• 13:11
  I've been focusing mostly on client delivery.
• 13:13
  I've had some downtime, I've had some rest time, some time where I have fully switched off from the business, and that has allowed me to really anchor back into my vision to get clear on what I actually wanna create for the rest of this year.
• 13:29
  And there's a delicate balance I've been trying to find where I don't wanna shrink my goals as a result of everything that I've just shared in this episode.
• 13:39
  But also, at the same time, I don't wanna put unnecessary pressure on myself and push myself past what's actually sustainable for me right now.
• 13:48
  Neither of those things are going to be helpful.
• 13:51
  I don't wanna go into Q4 feeling contracted and small because Q3 was arguably quite hard, but I also can't operate the same way I was operating in Q3 and expect a different result.
• 14:05
  So here's what I'm doing differently.
• 14:08
  I'm really leaning back into my spiritual practices and my manifestation rituals, simple things that make me feel grounded and inspired and energized, my morning meditation, Oracle cards, my hypnosis tracks, ritual intentionality, creating sacred moments in my day, the things that fill me back up rather than drain me and actively manifest what I'm wanting to manifest in my life and business.
• 14:38
  Because where your focus goes, energy flows.
• 14:41
  And in Q3, I wasn't pouring nearly enough energy into the things that expand me, so that is a really big focus for me in Q4.
• 14:51
  So what am I manifesting?
• 14:53
  What am I actually calling in for these final three months of 2026?
• 14:58
  In the business, I am manifesting a 50K Mistress Mind launch in November.
• 15:03
  That is my goal.
• 15:04
  10 incredible women joining me inside the program.
• 15:09
  I would also love to welcome in 10 women at the November Spiritual Business Immersion here on the South Coast.
• 15:16
  I'm also really determined to get back into a rhythm with creating content.
• 15:21
  I've been in a bit of a content rut lately, so I wanna turn that around.
• 15:26
  Again, not from a place of pressure, but from a place of enjoyment and inspiration and fun.
• 15:31
  I started the year really well with content, and that has fallen off.
• 15:36
  I'm not going back to posting six times a week, which is what I was doing at the start of this year, but I would really love to get back to three or four times a week consistently sharing content that I'm actually enjoying creating.
• 15:49
  On the health and wellness front, I am committing to three workouts a week and at least two walks, and I'm setting myself a stretch goal to have a gentle return to running before the end of this year.
• 16:03
  One of my big goals in 2026 was to get back into running consistently postpartum, and I had the all clear from my physio to do so back in February, but I have not done anything about it yet.
• 16:18
  So I'm setting myself the goal for a gentle return to running, even if it is just a few runs between now and the end of the year.
• 16:26
  I just wanna start And for some accountability in this space, Matt and I are actually both committing to home workouts, which I think is going to make it so much easier and hopefully a little bit more fun.
• 16:38
  He has just bought himself a kettlebell.
• 16:40
  So we're creating that space for each other, which feels really good.
• 16:45
  And of course, the backyard studio.
• 16:47
  I wanna be in there and settled and working from that space by the end of the year.
• 16:53
  That one feels really, really close, so I have no doubt that that will be the case.
• 16:59
  So that's me, but here's my invitation to you.
• 17:03
  We are now in October.
• 17:05
  We have three months left of 2026, and I know that at this time of year it can feel very tempting to just coast on through to December, particularly if you are feeling at all like what I was feeling at the end of Q3.
• 17:20
  Exhausted, depleted, ready for a long nap.
• 17:24
  And I know the Year of the Fire Horse has not mucked around.
• 17:27
  It has been fast-moving like it promised to be, and it has been a lot in many ways.
• 17:33
  I know from conversations I've been having that I'm not alone in that feeling.
• 17:37
  It is real, and it is valid.
• 17:40
  But there are still three months left of this year.
• 17:43
  That is an entire quarter.
• 17:46
  25% of the year.
• 17:48
  I don't want you to write off the last three months of 2026.
• 17:52
  If you did that every year, that is a quarter of your life So if you are feeling exhausted and tempted to just coast on through to the end of the year, give yourself permission to reset first.
• 18:05
  That is exactly what I've done over the last couple of weeks.
• 18:09
  Rest, prioritise yourself, get back into the practices and rituals that light you up, get that spark and that excitement back, that oomph you need for the rest of this year, and then anchor back into your vision and what you wanna create before the end of 2026.
• 18:26
  Because this is such a potent time to be manifesting, there is still time for so much magic to happen in your life and business before December 31st.
• 18:36
  So my invitation to you is this.
• 18:38
  Do a quick review of where you're at.
• 18:41
  Celebrate what you've already created this year, because there will be things worth celebrating even if it's not everything you set out to do.
• 18:49
  Check in with your goals, decide what you still wanna call in, recalibrate and reset if you need to, and then recommit to the rest of this year.
• 19:00
  So that's what I want you to do after listening to this episode today, and then come and tell me what you are calling in in Q4.
• 19:07
  I always love hearing from you, and I would genuinely love to know what you are manifesting before the end of 2026.
• 19:15
  So come and send me a DM on Instagram at Bec_Cusillo.
• 19:19
  Let's celebrate what's coming for you, because I know it is going to be magic.
• 19:24
  Now, there will be one last intake of the Spiritual Business Mistress Mind in November this year.
• 19:30
  As I said, I am calling in 10 incredible women to join me during this intake, and I've already had some conversations with some of you who were swirling around this last launch.
• 19:41
  So I know there's some really fabulous women who are already considering joining this time around.
• 19:47
  So I can't wait to see who that will be.
• 19:49
  I've got some really exciting things in the works already for that November launch, and the wait list for that intake is open now.
• 19:56
  So you can jump on the wait list at beccusillo.com/mistressmind.
• 20:01
  That's where you'll get the best price and exclusive wait list only bonuses.
• 20:05
  So it's definitely the place to be.
• 20:07
  Okay.
• 20:08
  That is it for me today.
• 20:09
  I hope you enjoyed this one.
• 20:11
  I love you, I appreciate you, and I will see you next time on the Feminine Fire podcast.
