Let’s Start the New Year Right – 2020

With 2019 and the decade coming to a close, people have been asking: Where do you want to be at the end of the next decade?⁣⁣

  • What do you want to be doing?⁣⁣
  • Where do you want to live?⁣⁣
  • What image do you want to project?⁣⁣

In July of this year, all of those questions hit me like a ton of bricks. So, I took a minute to think about the last 10 years. ⁣

How much of my life did I “know” about at 17?⁣

I KNEW I wanted to be my own boss, BUT I couldn’t picture how I would get there.
I KNEW I wanted to be a mom, BUT in my wildest dreams, I wouldn’t have been able to envision Iris.⁣
I KNEW I wanted to have a family, BUT I couldn’t imagine the friends that would become a part of it.⁣

So I decided to ask myself: “Where do I want to be at the end of the next decade?”⁣

While jotting down my answers, I realized that some of them were out of range – not because I dreamed too big, but because I wasn’t doing anything to make them happen.⁣

Even though I was freelancing and in a position where I could charge more for my services – I wasn’t⁣
Even though I am grateful for my daughter and the services provided by Shriner’s Hospital’s for Children – I was depressed⁣
Even though I love the people we’ve surrounded ourselves with – I felt alone⁣

I knew I had to make a DRASTIC change.⁣

? It meant asking for help⁣
? It meant quitting my job⁣
? It meant forcing myself to get healthy again (mentally and physically)⁣
? It meant opening up to people about where I think my life is going and being willing to fall flat on my face⁣
⁣⁣
Because by 30, I want to proudly say that I’m my own boss, an amazing mom, and wife, and know that I have helped & inspired people to take their life and business from idea to reality. ⁣
⁣⁣
Most importantly, I want to know that in this lifetime, I lived my life pursuing my passions while being myself every step of the way. ⁣
⁣⁣
I can’t wait to start sharing what I’m working on and the processes I’m taking to get there.⁣

What do you want to do with the next decade?⁣
