2020 Word: "Centered"
A preview of 2020
Happy 2020, friends. I’m typing this as movers are taking my stuff out, so you can imagine my stress level. But! Lucky me, I wrote my 2020 goals out earlier this week because I wanted to reflect a little more on what I want to do this year. I realize it’s not exactly a marketing piece per se, but rest assured, there are marketing links later on in the issue & the next issue will have a more marketing-centered focus. If you’re going to Nashville for qualifiers this Friday, come say hi!

P.S. Because of the move and several dominating events in January, I’m still not taking any new client consultations.
2020 Goals: "Centered"
Every year, I pick a word or phrase to focus on. It’s better than setting resolutions in my opinion. This year, I’m choosing “centered.” For me, this means that I want to make sure that I’m opting in to do work and hobbies that are central to who I am. I want to reinvest in myself and my worth. This goes for both physical and mental health.
Centered also means a certain type of life balance that I’ve been seeking out and working towards. I’m not sure what that means yet but I know that I will be saying no to things that feel like they would take out more than I’m willing to give.
In other, smaller goals, I have:
- Restart my weekly professional development
- Build up my mental health so I’m better at the end of the year than at the beginning
- Restart working on my tiny DIY cafe
- Continue on my weekly photo challenge (I have a new photo challenge group!)
- Continue my twice-a-month newsletter
- Set up some new planned sources of income
- Continue improving my work systems
2019 seemed like a maintenance, neutral progress kind of year. And while I am not planning giant leaps of improvement in 2020, I am hoping to see some growth in my life.
