Let's do it differently, shall we?


Reader,

Today is the last Sunday in 2024.

So tempting to do it like everyone else -

  • Review your 2024
  • List improvements you'll make
  • Define where you're going in 2025

Let's do it differently, shall we?

It's great to reflect and set direction for career and lives, of course.

But I've found things like 'goal setting' just let me down - I often don't hit my goals.

Then I just end up feeling disillusioned, disappointed, and no good.

So instead of doing the conventional year-in-review and goal setting for next year, I'm chunking it down even more.

I'm sure you already know what you want.

If you're an ambitious mom like me, perhaps it's:

  • Time with family
  • Money for the future
  • Energy to pursue what you love

However you define what you want, you'll know what it is when it feels so good, right?

I prefer daily and weekly tasks that take me in the general direction I want to go.

Because I never imagined when I started my professional life and motherhood journey I'd be here today.

But one thing remained constant -

I've always been guided by my heart, and what feels good to me. Even when it was tough. Somehow, in the confusion, fear, doubt and pain, I've always found my way to land here, where I am today.

And so have you.

So set your broad general direction.

Then take baby steps daily.

Celebrate the milestones.

Stay open to serendipity.

This is the beauty of living in the gap of where you are and where you want to be, and the action you're taking, moment-by-moment to move in the direction of your dreams.

Happy 2025!

Hi Reader, If you’ve ever thought about starting your own business or you’ve already begun, chances are you’ve met these fears head-on: Doubt: Will this even work? Lack: What if I can’t make enough money? Judgment: What will people think of me? I’ve been there too. As a working mom with a demanding job and family responsibilities, I often wondered if I had what it took. Here’s the truth I’ve learned: Building a business is less about the *perfect* strategy and more about who you’re becoming...

Hello Reader, Six years ago, at my dad’s wake, I kept hearing his voice ask me a single, haunting question: 'What will your legacy be?' That question changed the trajectory of my life. Two weeks later, I incorporated my business - not because I had it all figured out, but because I didn’t want fear to dictate my future. Today I honor my dad's 6th death anniversary with this week’s podcast, From Grief to Growth: How My Dad’s Words Shape My Business and how he continues to guide me. I share:...

Hello Reader, Ever set a big goal, then life got in the way?The sick kid. The late nights at work. The weekend that disappeared in errands. That used to throw me completely off. I’d feel like I 'failed' and wonder if I’d ever make my business work. Until I discovered the secret: systems. Systems are what keep me moving, even when everything else falls apart. My morning routine sets the tone for the day. My evening reflection pulls out lessons (even from tough days). My weekend batching gets...
