Do you ever end the year knowing that you want to explore a particular “theme” on your journey (whether this be personal, professional, or entrepreneurial) for the new year?
This year my personal / professional / entrepreneurial “theme” seemed to be “struggling and stressing”. I made the decision earlier this year to raise my young son full time, rather than hiring a nanny (we’d interviewed 6 or 7 nannies before I came to my decision) resuming my regular business activities and working the way I used to work before I became a parent.
Since my decision I’d been struggling to shift the way I “used to” work (i.e. 12+hrs a day doing something relating to my businesses) to how I now have to/want to work (i.e. working in 5 min increments and maybe 30-90 minutes during child’s nap or after child goes to bed).
I was stressing out from this struggling!
For the new year, I’d like my theme to be “going with the flow!”
I want to produce at least the same – or better – business results of this year, but at half the stress level.
(In a separate article I’ll share some of my lessons learned for producing the 6-figure business result I produced this year.)
