2024: A Year of Being Creative
As we sunset 2024 and enter a new season and new cycle, I decided to write ✍️ down all my big accomplishments this year.
This was a really hard year in many ways, but even with those challenges, I still accomplished so much.
Wow, did I surprise myself!
Financially, it looks like I will come in about 10% higher than last year so no major growth there, but that is to be expected since I had some pivots in my work offerings and dedicated a lot of time and investments in planting seeds for the future.
My Word of the Year was CREATIVE
I permitted myself to create freely, follow what interested me, and create imperfectly. Most of these were for me to grow, not for $ gain.
You can read more about how I choose CREATIVE for my Word of the Year here. If you need help choosing a Word of the Year, I’ve created this guided ebook.
Here is what I created outside of client work and my online store:
✔️ created and launched my private podcast
✔️started my blog and wrote 20+ posts
✔️recorded and launched my Pinterest tiny course
✔️ was a guest on 6 podcasts
✔️ launched my email newsletter
✔️presented in a networking group
✔️created and sold my first digital products and ebook
✔️experimented on social, had 3 threads go mini viral
✔️hosting my 1st live workshop on Word of the Year
How I made it possible:
✔️ completed 5 courses from 3 amazing teachers
✔️ creative incubator calls with a coach
✔️ joined a mastermind for soloprenuers
✔️aligned my goals to my Word of the Year
✔️connected with other biz owners for support
✔️followed my seasonal business planning rythm
This is all in addition to family/parenting, coaching, client work, and running my own store.
I highly recommend you take time to write down all you achieved this year.
