Course Description
Overview
Ready to act on that one idea you’ve always had in the back of your mind? Join creative star Kate Arends to discover a new formula for articulating and achieving any goal!
When Kate Arends started posting her personal essays online in 2014, she never imagined that Wit & Delight would one day grow into a leading lifestyle brand with 3.3 million followers. The secret to her success? In response to her ADHD, Kate developed a simple system for turning her big ideas into a reality, one manageable step at a time.
Now, Kate is sharing what she’s learned so that you can do the same: accomplish any goal you set your mind to, while feeling energized, empowered, and fulfilled.
This 50-minute class is packed with insights and exercises from Kate’s personal journey—and includes five exclusive downloadable worksheets to guide you from initial idea to final product.
You will:
- Push past self-doubt to figure out what you really want and need
- Redefine success to reflect your passions and expertise
- Identify the right ideas to pursue based on your unique priorities
- Create a framework for breaking down your goal into small, daily actions
- Stay motivated with tips to celebrate your wins (and failures)
This system is designed for everyone and accessible whatever your goal—whether it's running a marathon, launching a side-hustle, or building a new creative habit. By the end, you’ll have a personalized productivity system you can return to every time you need to kick-start a project or brainstorm your next chapter.
There’s never been a better time to unlock the life you want—one big goal at a time!
