Going into a new year I get to take part in my favorite family tradition. We sit in our living room together and share reflections, gratitude for the previous year, and set intentions for the year to come. We each choose a word for the year, and we share our heart around the intention - what we are claiming for the year.
In December 2021, I sat down with my family and shared my word for the coming year. And my word for 2022 was... Expansion.
Because I'm an avid planner, I'd mapped out my plans for what expansion was going to look like: New house, financial growth, new offers for our business - you name it, I had ALL the ideas. But the truth is every. Single. Plan was flipped on its head.
Right now, you may feel like you are doing ALL the right things and yet your efforts aren't creating more money for your business. Today that changes! Our free 90-day profit planner has helped hundreds of creative entrepreneurs transform their income goals into an actualization strategy since 2019.
Don't get me wrong, 2022 has been a great year. But it hasn't quite measured up to my plans or expectations.
In Episode 1 of AUTHENTIC, our new YouTube series, we're unpacking why it's time to stop glorifying growth and start honoring the process.
Who are you becoming through that growth? What GOOD is your growth creating?
