6570 family project. Let's go

Nellie Harden: 00:01:12

Hello, hello, everybody in the 6570 family project world how

Nellie Harden: 00:01:18

are you? I hope you are doing so. So well. If you are

Nellie Harden: 00:01:22

listening to this near or close to the release date, Happy New

Nellie Harden: 00:01:27

Year, you guys. I can't believe it is 2022. I I don't even know

Nellie Harden: 00:01:34

honestly, I still feel like it's you know, back in 1999. Turning

Nellie Harden: 00:01:39

into 2000 y2k world, right? High five to you. If you even were

Nellie Harden: 00:01:44

alive during that time or know what I'm talking about. I was

Nellie Harden: 00:01:47

talking to a friend of mine recently. And they were like,

Nellie Harden: 00:01:49

oh, yeah, that happened before I was born. I was like, Oh, my

Nellie Harden: 00:01:53

goodness, I was graduating college then. So that's cool.

Nellie Harden: 00:01:57

That's fine. So anyway, Happy New Year. You guys. I'm so

Nellie Harden: 00:02:02

excited for these this upcoming year. All that it has new year's

Nellie Harden: 00:02:05

always gets me super jazzed. And it gets me asking questions

Nellie Harden: 00:02:10

like, Who will I be by the end of 2022? Right? I have come so

Nellie Harden: 00:02:17

far as a person we've come so far as a family. So many things

Nellie Harden: 00:02:21

have happened in the world all these things in 2021. I want to

Nellie Harden: 00:02:25

know who am I going to be at the end of 2022? Right? I'm always

Nellie Harden: 00:02:29

constantly building just like you guys are too. And a bigger

Nellie Harden: 00:02:33

question is Who am I going to help my kids be by the end of

Nellie Harden: 00:02:38

2022? Right kids, especially within the 6570. That's the

Nellie Harden: 00:02:43

first 18 years of their lives. That 6570 days for anyone that

Nellie Harden: 00:02:50

is new to this podcast, and welcome, by the way, my name is

Nellie Harden: 00:02:54

Nelly harden. I love coming to you every single week with talks

Nellie Harden: 00:03:00

about what we can do in building our families and our kids toward

Nellie Harden: 00:03:05

leadership and self led discipline so that we can build

Nellie Harden: 00:03:09

that foundation for them to launch the rest of their life

Nellie Harden: 00:03:12

with and have a heck of a great time along the way, by the way.

Nellie Harden: 00:03:17

So that's what we're doing here. But I just want to ask myself,

Nellie Harden: 00:03:21

where in the world are they going to be? Because they change

Nellie Harden: 00:03:24

so fast, right? They change so fast. With COVID world and

Nellie Harden: 00:03:28

everything happening? You know, we live very far away from any

Nellie Harden: 00:03:33

extended family that we have, the closest family we have is

Nellie Harden: 00:03:36

literally 1000 miles away. And so when we see them, you know,

Nellie Harden: 00:03:41

once twice a year, there there's a lot of change that's happened

Nellie Harden: 00:03:45

in my kids since that time, of course I see them every single

Nellie Harden: 00:03:48

day. So I'm like a little bit of change, but they see them I'm

Nellie Harden: 00:03:51

like, Oh yeah, they really have changed in the last six months,

Nellie Harden: 00:03:53

you know? So where are your kids going to be? How are you going

Nellie Harden: 00:03:56

to help them grow in 2022 And just like the personal and

Nellie Harden: 00:04:02

family growth journey starts the day your kids were born, you

Nellie Harden: 00:04:07

know, day one of 6570 starts the day they were born. Really the

Nellie Harden: 00:04:13

six, the six, I'm sorry, the 365 days of 2022 started when that

Nellie Harden: 00:04:20

cute little crystal ball dropped and Every Day Counts Every Day

Nellie Harden: 00:04:25

Counts, even the ones you've already already had this year so

Nellie Harden: 00:04:28

far. And even those restorative couch days because those are

Nellie Harden: 00:04:33

definitely needed to you guys. If any of you follow me you know

Nellie Harden: 00:04:37

I am a peloton, girl. I put it on a back burner for so long.

Nellie Harden: 00:04:42

And then finally I was like you know it seems kind of cool. So I

Nellie Harden: 00:04:45

got it. Last April we invested in it. It's definitely an

Nellie Harden: 00:04:49

investment. And all we invested in it not for me not for my

Nellie Harden: 00:04:54

husband. We invested in it as a family because moving is so

Nellie Harden: 00:04:58

important. And so We thought that this would be a good family

Nellie Harden: 00:05:02

investment. And we did. And all six of us are on that darn thing

Nellie Harden: 00:05:06

every single day in one way, shape or form. But what I'm

Nellie Harden: 00:05:09

getting at is when I do when I have my yoga days, there are

Nellie Harden: 00:05:13

some restorative days in there, that you just literally lay on

Nellie Harden: 00:05:18

the floor with a blanket over you. And you just you think, and

Nellie Harden: 00:05:23

the music is going and you just zone out and you're stretching,

Nellie Harden: 00:05:27

maybe a little bit in there. But it's this restorative day. And

Nellie Harden: 00:05:31

you know what those are really, really important, just like

Nellie Harden: 00:05:34

every day of your 365 days of 2022 cannot be going like

Nellie Harden: 00:05:40

gangbusters, right? We need those restorative days, too. So

Nellie Harden: 00:05:44

I just want to put that caveat in there. Because when I say

Nellie Harden: 00:05:47

wake up with intention every day, I don't mean that you are

Nellie Harden: 00:05:50

running at max effort every single day, your intention for

Nellie Harden: 00:05:54

that day might be restorative. And that is a okay. And much

Nellie Harden: 00:05:59

needed. So anyway, we are already into that 365 Day Count,

Nellie Harden: 00:06:05

right, a new year's past us and we are already past that. And

Nellie Harden: 00:06:08

hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, hopefully you have filled out

Nellie Harden: 00:06:12

your New Year's family check in and if you haven't, it is still

Nellie Harden: 00:06:17

available, it will be available for just a little while longer.

Nellie Harden: 00:06:20

So go and grab it. It is over at Nellie Hardin comm slash Happy

Nellie Harden: 00:06:25

New Year. And so that's an E ll ie H AR D n.com/happy. New Year,

Nellie Harden: 00:06:33

no spaces in there. And what is this going to do for you it is

Nellie Harden: 00:06:37

going to help you reflect on the past year and really build

Nellie Harden: 00:06:41

forward in the year to come right you have goals and you

Nellie Harden: 00:06:45

have vision for what you want. And you've put all the pieces

Nellie Harden: 00:06:49

out on the table, you have prioritize you have organized,

Nellie Harden: 00:06:52

you have strategize, and no, this does not take all day. In

Nellie Harden: 00:06:55

fact, this New Year's family check in is only a 15 minute

Nellie Harden: 00:07:00

exercise and it is so needed and warranted for especially in New

Nellie Harden: 00:07:05

year coming up. Every day you guys every day you wake up New

Nellie Harden: 00:07:08

Year's are not Monday or not whatever that is, is a new day

Nellie Harden: 00:07:12

to make a change and be more intentional. But the new year

Nellie Harden: 00:07:17

like it or not, is always this turning of the page turning of a

Nellie Harden: 00:07:21

chapter really. And that's such a great opportunity to do these

Nellie Harden: 00:07:26

family check ins. And I've been doing these for years now. And I

Nellie Harden: 00:07:30

do I've done so many different people's versions of this. But

Nellie Harden: 00:07:34

honestly, so many of them are entrepreneurship based, which is

Nellie Harden: 00:07:37

cool. I'm an entrepreneur, you know, I've been doing business

Nellie Harden: 00:07:40

and entrepreneurship for 2922 years now. But and many of them

Nellie Harden: 00:07:47

are also like really like deep self development work,

Nellie Harden: 00:07:51

especially made for adults, and I wanted to make one for you.

Nellie Harden: 00:07:55

That is family centered. Because this is what your kids are doing

Nellie Harden: 00:08:00

for the first 6570 days of their lives. Right you are their world

Nellie Harden: 00:08:05

and you are developing their world and I wanted to make one

Nellie Harden: 00:08:08

for you. So definitely go there and pick that up again.

Nellie Harden: 00:08:11

Milliarden comm slash Happy New Year. Okay, so now that you have

Nellie Harden: 00:08:16

filled that out, I'm pretending you already have if you haven't,

Nellie Harden: 00:08:19

just pretend you already have go get it and do it tonight. Do it

Nellie Harden: 00:08:23

tomorrow, this week sometime. But after you're done with that,

Nellie Harden: 00:08:26

it is time to really step in and carry you through or carry

Nellie Harden: 00:08:30

through these first few months of the year, first two, three

Nellie Harden: 00:08:34

months of the year. Because let's face it, so many people

Nellie Harden: 00:08:37

make goals and everything and then they drop them. Right. I've

Nellie Harden: 00:08:41

done it. I'm sure you've done it. Your neighbors done it. Your

Nellie Harden: 00:08:44

sister's done it, everyone's done it. You may have all these

Nellie Harden: 00:08:47

grand visions for what you want for the upcoming year. And

Nellie Harden: 00:08:50

you're like yes, yes, yes. And then there's no one there to be

Nellie Harden: 00:08:53

your cheerleader. There's no one there to give you

Nellie Harden: 00:08:55

accountability. And then you're like and that it died. Right?

Nellie Harden: 00:09:00

Okay, so these first 70 days in particular, are pretty vital.

Nellie Harden: 00:09:05

There is a huge study that was done. And it looked at habit

Nellie Harden: 00:09:10

forming from all these different angles. And some people take

Nellie Harden: 00:09:14

longer, some people take shorter and everything, but the average

Nellie Harden: 00:09:17

was 66 days. And so I happen to love that because what are we

Nellie Harden: 00:09:23

where the 6570 66 is right in between there. If you break up

Nellie Harden: 00:09:29

the numbers, obviously. And so this is a 70 day Family

Nellie Harden: 00:09:35

Challenge, you guys, it's a 17 day Family Challenge, my gift to

Nellie Harden: 00:09:40

you to really amp up what you want to get done in this

Nellie Harden: 00:09:43

upcoming year. Right. It's so easy to say we're going to do

Nellie Harden: 00:09:47

something time slips away, and then we're like, Oh, oops, okay,

Nellie Harden: 00:09:51

well, I'll try again next year. No, we can absolutely do it. And

Nellie Harden: 00:09:55

I want to see your goals become a reality. Last year I do a word

Nellie Harden: 00:10:00

Every year and last year, my word was a line, I actually have

Nellie Harden: 00:10:03

it right here on my desk in a rock. So every year for the past

Nellie Harden: 00:10:09

several years now, I have had my word etched into a rock because

Nellie Harden: 00:10:16

I wanted it quote unquote, written in stone. And so I just

Nellie Harden: 00:10:21

go on Etsy, there's some wonderful people on there that

Nellie Harden: 00:10:24

take river rocks, and they etched them. And so, and then at

Nellie Harden: 00:10:28

the end of the year, I have tray and all of my rocks are in

Nellie Harden: 00:10:32

there. And it's kind of a history of all of my goals and

Nellie Harden: 00:10:36

focuses over the last it's a little rock garden with all of

Nellie Harden: 00:10:39

these words on it. Well, last year, my word was align. And I

Nellie Harden: 00:10:44

looked at that, because I keep whatever current one is on my

Nellie Harden: 00:10:48

desk. And I looked at that, and just really kind of took it my

Nellie Harden: 00:10:51

hands on December 3 last year and said, Yes, I did that.

Nellie Harden: 00:10:57

1,000,000%. Yes, it was awesome. It was celebrated. And you guys,

Nellie Harden: 00:11:04

I want you to experience that too. And I have words for

Nellie Harden: 00:11:08

myself, we have words for our family. And yes, both of them

Nellie Harden: 00:11:12

are written in stone or family one is downstairs in this one is

Nellie Harden: 00:11:14

up on my desk. And so I want you to experience that not just in

Nellie Harden: 00:11:19

2022, but year after year after year, I want to see you be able

Nellie Harden: 00:11:23

to put an intention down and nail it. Right. Why? Because

Nellie Harden: 00:11:30

what is if we're growing forward, right, we have these

Nellie Harden: 00:11:33

intentions, we have these ideas, and we want to be able to get

Nellie Harden: 00:11:37

there. And in the bigger picture. I know that you have

Nellie Harden: 00:11:40

these goals and intentions and amazing dreams for your kids to

Nellie Harden: 00:11:44

have at the end of the 6570. And I want you to get there too. And

Nellie Harden: 00:11:49

so the first step was the family check in. And the next step you

Nellie Harden: 00:11:53

guys is the challenge. So this is the 70 Day Challenge. And

Nellie Harden: 00:11:57

you're like, Well, why? Tell me tell me why I should do this?

Nellie Harden: 00:12:01

Well, because it will keep you accountable to the underlying

Nellie Harden: 00:12:05

tasks needed to do what you said you wanted to do. And then I

Nellie Harden: 00:12:10

would ask this, if if you are out there, you're you're

Nellie Harden: 00:12:13

probably asking, so I know I would. How do you know this

Nellie Harden: 00:12:17

challenge will help with what I want to do because you have no

Nellie Harden: 00:12:20

idea what I want to do Nellie? Oh, but I do because the daily

Nellie Harden: 00:12:24

and weekly tasks in this challenge are the blocks to

Nellie Harden: 00:12:29

making everything else work in the family. Right? We go through

Nellie Harden: 00:12:33

time for family time for you. Fun, gratitude, new adventures

Nellie Harden: 00:12:39

connecting, really having time to sit eyeball to eyeball

Nellie Harden: 00:12:43

exploring, using respect, right, all of it is formulated into

Nellie Harden: 00:12:48

this daily and weekly, very, very, very doable task list that

Nellie Harden: 00:12:53

was created to help you develop the habits to actually get

Nellie Harden: 00:12:57

things done. Everything that you want to get done, every

Nellie Harden: 00:13:00

intention and goal that you have for your family is going to be

Nellie Harden: 00:13:03

able to be magnified in such an awesome way with this challenge.

Nellie Harden: 00:13:08

And I'm telling you things connection, communication,

Nellie Harden: 00:13:11

clarity, thriving positivity, right, all of those things in

Nellie Harden: 00:13:16

here. And you're not just living out the 6570, right, you're not

Nellie Harden: 00:13:21

just sitting there in front of a clock I'm looking around. Yep,

Nellie Harden: 00:13:24

my clocks right in front of me. You're not just sitting around,

Nellie Harden: 00:13:27

watching these seconds tick down, right? You are there to

Nellie Harden: 00:13:32

thrive as a parent and help your kids thrive as kids and honestly

Nellie Harden: 00:13:37

the young adults that they are right, they're getting closer

Nellie Harden: 00:13:40

and closer to their own launch date. And setting them up for a

Nellie Harden: 00:13:45

future because of the foundation that you are giving them is

Nellie Harden: 00:13:50

vital. So you guys, this challenge takes your family

Nellie Harden: 00:13:54

through 70 days that will honestly change the course of

Nellie Harden: 00:13:58

your year. And maybe even I might go as far as to say

Nellie Harden: 00:14:03
