Half-Finished to Done, LIVE is for you if:

• You have more than handful of half-finished projects in your business
• You know that you have important work to get out into the world but it feels scary or overwhelming
• You’re ready to dig into the mental and emotional pieces of project finishing
• You want to master a simple, repeatable project finishing process that you can use over and over
• You love the idea of finishing your project without sacrificing other areas of your life or burning yourself out
• You’re excited about being part of a supportive, diverse but like-minded cohort to do this work with

It’s not for you if you’re looking for a quick fix, you’re not in the right headspace to investigate your emotions, you feel completely numb or frozen, or you’re in the middle of intense grief, depression, or anxiety. 

On your application, I’ll run you through a Productivity Power Zone assessment, where we’ll check in on your current relationship to focus, time, prioritization, and commitment. 

This assessment is super accurate at predicting whether you’re ready for the program or not. If you are, we’ll get you enrolled!

And if you’re not ready, I’ll help you figure out what needs to happen to get yourself ready for the next round. 

In the Pique Coaching world, we define projects as:

1. Something with a specific purpose and outcome
2. That has multiple steps
3. That can be done on a specific timeline
4. That is designed specifically to generate a return on the time and energy you invest (in the form of more positive emotions, more money, more time, more social capital, and more impact)

Here are some examples of projects that you might want to complete in an 8-week Half-Finished to Done, LIVE sprint:

• Recording an audiobook
• Writing a section of a book
• Creating an evergreen online training
• Designing and hosting a webinar series
• Recording a musical album
• Creating a simple website
• Putting together a live virtual or in-person event
• Launching a podcast
• Writing a landing page
• Putting together sales collateral
• Doing a research project or paper
• Organizing and decorating an office space
• Executing on a study guide for a continuing ed certification or program
• Writing a client or employee handbook
• Setting up client tracking systems
• Writing a marketing automation
• Setting up your business’ financial systems

Once you realize that you have valuable projects waiting to be done in your business, you’ll start seeing project ideas everywhere.

Let me teach you how to harness all of those awesome ideas into finished projects, done in a way that you love, with results that you love.

Here is a list of the real topics we’re likely to cover in your 8-week round of Half-Finished to Done, LIVE, depending on what you and the rest of the cohort needs:

• Prioritizing client work over your own work
• Getting things done right before the deadline
• Chronically underestimating how long things will take you
• Feeling overwhelmed and not knowing where to start with things
• Letting go of projects and tasks that no longer fit with where you’re going
• Feeling guilty about saying no to people (like clients, contractors, friends, and family)
• Fear of success and fear of failure
• Letting your emotions take over and derail your projects
• Not knowing what to work on in any given moment
• Feeling embarrassment or guilt about procrastination
• Working with other people who aren’t doing what you want them to
• Overworking on nights and weekends to compensate for bad work hygiene during the day
• Making an overly optimistic plan—and then not following it
• Feeling like there’s never a moment that your brain is truly turned off
• Endlessly tweaking and editing things to make sure they’re “right”

The solution to these often feels like ripping off a Band-Aid: Painful for a few minutes, then sweet relief.

It is tough to do that on your own—you’re literally asking yourself to feel temporary pain, on purpose—but it’s much easier when you have the support of me (a Productivity Coach) and an entire cohort of people dedicated to your success and well-being.

Together, we’ll help you come up with doable solutions, actually do them, work through any negative emotions that come up along the way, and then celebrate the hell out of your wins.

Most business owners do projects like this:

Get a great idea out of the blue. Think about it constantly, maybe put it into action. Hit an unforeseen obstacle; lose excitement or run out of steam, stop working on it, feel guilty. Lather, rinse, repeat.

The Half-Finished to Done, LIVE way is different…before, during, and after.

Before:

• Slow down, investigate what you’re trying to achieve with your next project using the 5 types of project ROI, and choose accordingly
• Lean into your Zone of Value (where your interests, strengths, and desires overlap with your stakeholders’ needs)
• Make a simple project plan that takes into account what else is happening in your life, your historical patterns of self-sabotage and how you’ll specifically combat them this time, and true rest (mind off + time off)

During:

• Practice stellar work hygiene—like setting up distraction-free work time, motivating yourself with empowering thoughts instead of fear, and proactively managing your boundaries
• When you hit unforeseen roadblocks, make adjustments to the plan and document them (so that you can easily spot recurring patterns)
• Notice when you’re starting to fall into patterns of disengagement (like boredom, resignation, or overwhelm), and actively re-engage yourself

After:

• Celebrate!
• Evaluate the experience: What did you learn? What did you do well? What do you want to do differently next time? What are you believing about yourself now, that you weren’t believing just a few weeks ago?
• Reap the benefits of your finished project: More positive emotions (like accomplishment, confidence, and pride), more time, more impact, more social capital, and more money
• Take a rest period before gearing up for your next project

If you want this experience—for your next project and all of the future projects in your business: It’s time to join Half-Finished to Done, LIVE.

You can expect to commit about 3-4 hours per week to the program, plus the time you’ll choose to spend on your project (which I’ll help you figure out, depending on the scope of your project).  

This includes:

• Attending the weekly live coaching call
• Doing your weekly homework
• Asking for additional help, or reviewing the resources I direct you to  

Early on in the program, we’ll figure out which of the 5 types of Project ROI matter most to you—time, money, social capital, impact, and/or positive emotions—and help you design a project that’s guaranteed to give you what you’re looking for, in a way that you like.

And besides the confidence of consistently finishing extraordinary projects, on repeat, whenever they want to, my clients have reported wins like: 

• Their spouses commenting on how much calmer they seem
• “Unprecedented harmony” with their partners, because they’ve learned to set real boundaries and do what they say they’re going to do
• Teaching their kids these “focus tools” so they don’t struggle as much to get things done
• The ability to apply these business skills to other areas of their lives, like packing, moving, renovating a house, or developing a new hobby
• Raising their prices
• Having a massage therapist comment about how much less stress one client was carrying in her body
• Better, more relaxing and more frequent vacations
• Taking care of themselves when they’re sick, instead of “pushing through”

After your first 8-week round of Half-Finished to Done, LIVE, you’ll have the option to rejoin for the next round.

Many clients decide to re-enroll in order to put their project-finishing skills on autopilot, get my continued feedback, affirm their confidence in the process with a different project, experience the program with a different cohort, or take on a daring new challenge that they want support on.

You might also get exactly what you need in you first round, and feel confident working the process on your own for your next project, using your strengthened intrinsic motivation. 

Either way, you’ll go through a “recalibration period” as you make the process your own. I’m always there to support you through this.

When you finish the program, you’ll also be welcomed into the Half-Finished to Done, LIVE grad community.

This gives you access to free, live continuing ed workshops, just for program alumni. These happen roughly quarterly. They’re a chance to meet business owners from other cohorts, learn the new concepts I’m developing, and get my coaching on whatever’s coming up for you.

Glad you asked! You can listen to client stories on the Half-Finished to Done Podcast, which can be found here or on your preferred podcasting app.

Just look for any episode with “Half-Finished to Done Client Story” in the title. 

Awesome. Bring it to your 45-minute, 1:1 consult and we’ll talk through it.
