Introducing Unlimited Summer, where we set the intention to shine brighter in all areas of our business and life. Because Summer is an energy & vibe, offering endless opportunities for growth, joy, and adventure. I invite you to join us on this growth game of new possibilities and continuous exploration to create a summer you’ll remember forever.

In this post, I’ll share how you can participate in Unlimited Summer, as well as the various elements you can play with to elevate your experience. I’ve also created a video and podcast version which gives more color and depth, which you can experience below.

What is Unlimited Summer?

Unlimited Summer is a growth game designed to help you enhance every aspect of your life and business. By channeling the vibrancy of the season and focusing on four key areas – Self Development, Well-Being, Content Creation & Marketing, and Artificial Intelligence – we provide you with the tools and inspiration to shine brighter this summer.

Shining Brighter In Four Key Areas

We believe in growing our business and life together by being intentional about filling all the buckets of our life. This approach creates greater joy and fulfillment, providing an unfair advantage. Here are the four key areas we focus on to shine brighter this Summer.

Self Development
Well-Being
Content Creation & Marketing
Artificial Intelligence

Let’s break down what shining brighter in each of those areas looks like.

Self Development

Summer is the perfect time to explore new skills, take on challenges, and become a better version of yourself. By combining growth with fun, and creating habits that serve you, you create a superpower that keeps on giving.

Examples:

Create your 3 Year Vivid Vision or a Vision Board on your phone
Create a Summer Reading List
Create Summer-Positive Habits: like morning walks, daily journaling, or cold-plunging
Take up a New Creative Hobby
Daily Gratitude
Visualization Practice
Create a Morning or Evening Routine
Take a Personal Development & Mindset Course (like Built For The Game)
Set a new Meditation Streak

Well-Being

The light shines brighter in the Summer, and so can you when you focus on activities that nourish the mind, body, and spirit. Prioritize self-care to truly come alive and thrive.

Examples:

Nature Escapes (aka intentionally being outside)
Summer Fitness Fun: water workouts, beach volleyball, yoga in the park, fun runs, basketball
Be An Early Bird: wake up a minute earlier, wake up earlier to enjoy the quiet morning hours, see a sunrise, have Mindful Mornings

Entertainment: BBQ’s, picnics, pool parties
Aromatherapy with Summer Scents
Improve Relationships (specific ones)

Content Creation & Marketing

The vibrancy of Summer is a great inspiration for building your brand and showcasing who you are. Let creative inspirational flow as you embark on new adventures, soak in the sun, and share your experiences along the way.

Examples:

We all want to spend more time doing what we love while growing our businesses. By leveraging AI & ChatGPT, we become more efficient and effective, freeing up our time for what truly matters.

Tips For Success in Unlimited Summer

Shining brighter in all areas of your life can be light, easy, and fun. There are three areas I encourage you to be intentional about to get the most out of this growth game.

Consistency Practice

What you do every day adds up to the quality of your life. Establish simple, daily routines that anchor your summer days, ensuring steady progress towards what you’d love to create more of. These daily/weekly practices help build and maintain momentum, and allow you to create a dynamic balance between fulfillment in your business and life.

Awareness Practice

One of the best ways to create consistency is by keeping the most important things at the forefront of your mind. By keeping your goals and intentions constantly visible, your reinforce their presence in your daily life. Awareness is a very valuable tool that helps you enrich your experience and create a lifestyle you love.

The simplest awareness practice is to write something down and put it in a place where you’ll see it often (like your desk, bathroom mirror, or in your car). If you prefer to use technology then set reminders in your phone or calendar.

The next level of awareness is creating Triggers, where doing or seeing something causes you to take a specific action. For example, every time you brush your teeth you turn it into a trigger for Gratitude by saying three things you are thankful for.

State of Being

The story you tell yourself creates your actions, and your actions create your results. Therefore if you want to create an amazing summer then it is important to be intentional about your process for creating who you are and how you show up every day.

Summer is filled with positive energy, excitement, and vibrancy. You can channel this every morning to create a state of being that radiates this in all that you do. The key is being intentional about it, having a consistency practice, and enjoying the process. Doing so will help you Shine Brighter!

Frequently Made Excuses

Creating growth in your business and life is easy and simple, we often complicated it or create excuses for why it doesn’t happen. Here are some of the most frequently made excuses and how you can overcome them.

“I don’t have enough time” – Unlimited Summer is about creating more time for the things you love and are important in your life BY DESIGN. In many cases it takes no additional time or effort to do something. For example, it doesn’t take additional time to take a picture, visualize, or say something nice to someone. If you notice yourself “too busy” or “short on time” then it is a sign you relationship with time and priorities are out of alignment.
“I forgot” – I recommend you remove these words from your vocabulary, because forgetting is really just a lack of process or awareness. Unlimited Summer is experienced on a day to day, moment to moment basis. If you find yourself forgetting to have an awesome summer, then write down on a piece of paper “Unlimited Summer: Shine Brighter” and put it on your desk. That way you see it often and have a constant reminder. If you need more awareness then set a daily reminder in your calendar or phone.
“I have a hard time with consistency” – Consistency can be easy if you design it that way. First start with your commitment by asking yourself, “How committed am I to this?” and then look at your intention, “What do I intend to create?” From there I encourage you to focus on doing just one thing (aka focusing on the micro). Because consistency is really about doing one thing(s) over and over again.
“I am not committed” – All of the growth you are looking for is on the other side of commitment. Commitment doesn’t cost money and it doesn’t have to be hard. All it takes is creating an agreement with yourself that you will do it.
“I have so much going on already” – Great! Now think about how you could shine brighter. That’s why we believe in taking a holistic approach to growth, where you fill up all the areas of your life. Be open to the possibilities that you could do things better or with more intention or more creativity. Look for the micro moments in your day and life where you could add newness, excitement, or create space.
