HOW DID WE SURVIVE THE FIRST WEEK OF 2023?!

Are we thriving or just barely surviving?!

Not to brag…but this week has been insanely productive for me. Truth be told I have been that obnoxious person that was emailing people between Christmas and NYE and of course even on Jan 2nd (yikes lol). I did have a good reason though… I’m currently producing a series of social media videos for the Greater Palm Springs CVB in just a few weeks and had to set up a bajillion shoots and hire extras. So I give myself a pass haha— YAY SUNSHINE!!!

Okay now back to the question above…if you’re sitting here reading this like OMG I haven’t even thought about my goals/intentions for 2023 let alone started a vision board, don’t worry it’s not too late.

I’m a firm believer that you can set goals at any time of the year (my favorite time is in the first few weeks of January) but you do what works best for you.

Over the years I’ve poured over countless self-improvement/productivity/entrepreneurship/manifesting books, blogs, podcasts, etc. to come up with my own method for creating a realistic road map for the year ahead. And now I’ve finally put my methods into one blog post that will hopefully be helpful to you.

Inside you’ll find the exact questions I ask myself in my yearly audit, my secret weapon for starting my year on the right foot, some books I read at the beginning of every year and A LOT more.

***one caveat*** I am not a professional self-help guru, nor am I trying to be. I’m just sharing what works for me. Take what you like and leave what you don’t.

Most importantly I hope you feel as excited and positive about 2023 as I do! There is so much to look forward to and I look forward to our weekly check-ins every Sunday.

OOOOOO and before you scroll away don’t forget to take the survey to let me know what you want to see more of & less of from Abroad in Your Inbox.
