Let's do it differently, shall we?

Reader, Today is the last Sunday in 2024. So tempting to do it like everyone else -
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:
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! Sharon |

But then, I realized that the gap between where I am and where I wanted to be isn't failure. It's feedback. In my latest podcast episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what 2025 actually looked like: 5 Unglamorous Lessons from Building a Business While Working Full-Time: 1. It takes WAY longer...
Reader, It's December 31st, and I just reviewed my 2025. Honestly? I didn't hit most of my goals: Revenue target? Nope. Client goals? Fell short. Growth I wanted? Not there yet. And for a moment, I felt disappointed. Like I'd failed somehow. But then, while facilitating my Create 2026 workshop this week, I had a realization: If I were already the sort of person who gets those results, I'd already have them. So the question isn't 'Why did I fail?' The question is: "Who do I need to become?"...
Reader, 2 days ago, our bathroom door lock stopped working. You know that moment when you turn the thumbturn and... nothing? It just spins uselessly. The door won't lock. My first instinct was to call the locksmith. But something I read recently stopped me. If you're on Justin Welsh's Saturday Solopreneur newsletter, you might have seen his recent story about replacing a special lightbulb in his water filtration system. At first glance, it's just a home maintenance story. But the real lesson...
