2022... a hard but expansive year

Is it just me or did 2022 fly by at record speed?

It could be age related, or maybe time really is speeding up every year?

So, this share is inspired by an amazing business contact and friend Sally Estlin who I was lucky to meet through #Happyneigborhoodprojectnetworking earlier this year.

In her recent post she recommends that we all reflect on the good things that happened in 2022, including our achievements.

She also suggests that we get clear on what we want to experience more of in 2023.

For me, 2022 was a year filled with significant challenges,

however, before I blindly toss 2022 away,

I recognize that it was also a year of tremendous growth and a lot of firsts.

In no particular order, here is my list of some my achievements and highlights of 2022:

• I officially launched my Customer Strategy ‘mentoring & co-creation’ business offer to solopreneurs, startups and small businesses.
• I started doing videos of myself, sharing my thoughts on various topics on social media despite my nerves.
• I built (and continue to do so) a wonderful network of supportive and likeminded businesspeople online and offline.
• I ran my first Target Strategy and Unique Value Proposition group workshops online successfully.
• I collaborated with amazing people in business.
• I learnt new business skills.

Personally…

• I spent more time meditating, walking my dog in nature, connecting with my husband and self-care.
• I listened more to my body and intuition.
• I got to know myself much better.
• I spent quality time with good friends, including helping some of them in their business.
• I continued to rehab and improve my knee mobility and flexibility after a serious horse-riding accident in 2021.
• I literally got back in the saddle to do what I love the most, horse riding.

So, whilst I’m still growing as a human being and businessowner,

when I reflect on 2022, it was hard at times, but also expansive, creative, abundant and joyful.

I can’t wait to see what’s next in 2023.

I imagine it’s going to be full of opportunities for us all to reach new heights in ourselves, life and business.

Wishing you an abundant and blessed 2023 filled with new experiences, expansion, achievements, love and joy!
