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.

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 |

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...
Reader, Yesterday someone asked me for my advice on how she could fulfil her dream of hiking China's untouched mountains while working her 9-5. We looked at all the possible and feasible options. Eventually, we worked out a plan that she'll be proposing to her manager. In the course of our conversation, she revealed what motivated her to fulfil her dream and live her life differently than before. For many people, it's often a wake-up call that our time here is limited before we realize it's...
If you’re feeling exhausted, discouraged, or disillusioned right now, you’re not failing, you’re in a growth season. Career and business momentum doesn’t disappear because you’re tired. It disappears when exhaustion turns into self-doubt and quiet withdrawal. Momentum isn’t built by doing more. It’s built by staying connected to who you’re becoming, even in low-energy seasons. This guide will help you keep moving forward without burning out, abandoning your goals, or forcing productivity that...
