Can You Imagine?

Let’s hop in a pretend time machine and input January 2023 as our destination. 

One year from now. 

You are about to celebrate the year you just had. 

What does that look like? 

What did you accomplish? 

How did you do it?


Working backward from your end goal is often the best way to get started.


As you sit here now, at the very start of 2022, are you putting the actions in place to actually enjoy that moment you are foreseeing in your future? 


Goals and Strategies. 

When you have specific goals in place, start on a list of mini-goals for each day, week and month going forward. A goal is nothing without strategy behind it. Why do you want this? Is it attainable? Does it align with your overall vision? 


Next step…


Calendar and Actions.

Your calendar is not just a place to add meetings and events. It’s a place to add in ALL actions toward a goal. My calendar includes things like 10 minutes for meditation, 30 minutes to record videos, 15 minutes to do follow-up, etc. No action is too minimal. When you calendar in the time, you do the work. 


Next step…


Leadership and Team.

You aren’t doing this alone, so how is your team supporting your goals? What are you delegating? Is the leadership in your organization solid? Team building and exercises to get everyone on the same page and working at their highest level ensures long-term success. Where are you getting resources and assistance? How are you networking? Where are you speaking? Are you following up? Are you checking in with your people?


Along with the major goals, don’t forget about all the everyday parts of your business you can’t neglect. Your marketing, your website, your social media, your content. This is the meat and potatoes of your brand. Update, revamp, try something new. Hire someone if you need help. 


Make commitments this year to show up and follow up so 2022 ends with a completed goal list and a brand new energy!
