Episode #423: What do you Really Want?

What if the things you truly want in your life and business are also possible for you — but you haven't given yourself permission to dream big enough to imagine them?

In this episode of The Business of Thinking Big, Leanne Kim shares a powerful question that helped her move from feeling stuck and frustrated to gaining clarity about what she really wanted: “What I want also wants me.” After recognizing that she had fallen into a pattern of victim thinking, Leanne turned to journaling to reconnect with her desires, identify what wasn't working, and empower herself to move forward.

Through this interactive coaching session, Leanne walks you through how to get clear on what you truly want from your business and your personal life. From your ideal clients and dream work schedule to your income goals, relationships, wellness, and travel aspirations, she encourages you to explore what's possible without immediately worrying about how you'll make it happen.

Leanne also explains why giving yourself permission to dream is an essential part of creating change. Before you can map out the journey, you need to know your destination.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How the question “What I want also wants me” can help shift your mindset when you feel stuck
• How to recognize victim thinking and take back your power
• Why journaling can help you uncover what you truly want in your life and business
• How to separate your business goals from your personal lifestyle goals
• How to identify your dream clients, ideal working hours, and preferred business model
• Why it's important to consider whether your daily tasks align with the work you actually love
• How to explore bigger goals around thought leadership, writing a book, launching a podcast, or speaking on major stages
• Why you should get specific about your business revenue and personal CEO salary
• How to define the lifestyle you want, including your ideal work schedule, family time, relationships, and wellness routines
• Why giving yourself permission to want more isn't greedy or unrealistic
• How to handle the uncomfortable emotions that can arise when you recognize the gap between what you want and what you currently have
• Why clarity about your destination is essential before you can create a plan to get there
• How investing in your CEO mindset and self-awareness can be just as important as putting in more hours at work
• Why you don't need to know exactly how you'll achieve your goals before allowing yourself to dream about them

Whether you're feeling stuck in your business, craving more time with your family, dreaming of greater financial freedom, or simply wondering what your next chapter could look like, this episode is an invitation to pause and get honest with yourself about what you really want.

You don't have to figure out every step today. Start by giving yourself permission to dream, get clear on your destination, and trust yourself to begin moving toward it.
