Naval Gazing...

I’m not going to lie, the first few weeks of 2023 were hard, I think I may have used the phrase “I’m done with this year already” but I knew that I wanted to commit to focussing on my business and the things that I wanted to achieve. After all, I’d spent 8 years doing this (at the start of 2023), I’ve been on a massive journey of building back up my self confidence and self worth- both personal and professional. I’ve pushed myself very far out of my comfort zone and done some amazing things because of it. I’ve built a reputation and a network that has supported my business to grow in unimaginable ways.

So, back to my 2023 commitment, I’m not calling it a New Year’s resolution because it wasn’t that defined, it was much more organic and natural than that. It was a feeling that I wanted to take the next steps and to move my business to where it needed to be and I leveraged the amazing connections I had made to make the changes I wanted to make.

During 2023 I have completed my social media management certification (with flying colours I might add), I have had mentoring and coaching, I have attended strategy days, content camps and VIP kick me up the ass days. My business has grown massively, I’ve taken on people to be a part of team, I’ve got my own right hand woman and I’ve restructured everything to the point where I’m absolutely in love with my business all over again.

There are some absolutely amazing women in my network who I have worked with and who have, literally, changed my life. I can confidently say that this year has been transformative for me and, as I write this, I’m getting quite emotional because it means a lot to me and I’m proud of myself.

I’ve even treated myself to a new tattoo to celebrate a year of change, of growth and of transformation: little pink butterflies on my wrist which I also love and which will always remind me of what I have achieved. Plus. they’re perfect for summing encapsulating my word for 2023: Transformation.

Just remember lovely reader, you never need to worry what you’re capable of because, when it comes to it, you’re capable of anything and everything you put your mind to.

And my word for 2024? Let’s go with: Growth… and I can’t tell you how excited I am about that.
