Happy New Year!

You made it!

I hope you had a lot of fun on New Year’s Eve no matter how you spent it. I love the beginning of a new fresh year to turn the page on the past and step forward into the present.

If you are like most people you are starting to think about those pesky New Year’s resolutions. Well, I like to re-think this whole concept as goal-setting opportunities instead of resolutions that might not stick. One of my favorite things to do is declutter my surroundings so that I can start the year off organized. 


What about you?


As I was perusing and clearing out my inbox, I came across this article from Apartment Therapy about decluttering methods. There are some true gems in this article that I can’t wait to use especially the Core 4 Method. Take a peek when you get a chance. 

January is a great time to reorganize your surroundings and your business finances.

You knew that was coming right? 🙂

Are you ready to FINALLY cross the arduous and no-fun for you project of decluttering your books off your to-do list? If so then let’s have a virtual coffee chat to see how I might be a resource for you. 

Keep IT Sunny~


End of The Month & Year Round Up!

I can’t believe this is the last week of 2023 and next week we enter into a new year. 

Are you ready?

Did the year turn out better than you thought? Did you crush the goals you set for yourself?

I am excited about all the new possibilities the new year will bring. As the year draws to a close and we begin planning for 2024 it is important to:

STOP

SLOW - DOWN

AND

REFLECT

Many times we can run through the whole year as if we are in a race and end up at the end of the year feeling unfulfilled. I know this has happened to me on occasion. I need to review the post I wrote called, What Is On Your Mind to see how I can improve my mindset so I can’t stop feeling so hurried but I digress. :)


My challenge to you is to press pause a few times during the holiday season to journal and reflect on the wins, challenges, and learns so that you can make next year a better year than 2023. After you have reflected on the activities of the past then think about starting to plan for 2024 for your business and personal goals using this process:

First create S.M.A.R.T. goals, specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. Next, try this process to measure your progress:

7 - measure your goal in one week to see how you are doing.

30 - measure your goal in one month to see how you did for the month.

90 - measure your goal as a milestone to see if you crushed it. 


I encourage you to try this method to help you to stay focused on your goal attainment. If you are looking for more tips around goals check out the post that I wrote this month. 

The end of the year is fast approaching and we can set ourselves up for success by slowing down to reflect on how the year went, create S.M.A.R.T. goals for 2024, and use the 7, 30 & 90-day approach to measure progress. 

Happy New Year & Thank you for reading~

Keep IT Sunny!


The Countdown To 2023 Has Begun!

/

The year is essentially over and I could say many things. I will keep it short and ask one question. 

What were the 3 most important things that you did for your business this year? 

Here are my 3:

  • I joined Toastmasters to become a better communicator & public speaker

  • Started networking in person & connecting more with fellow professionals in my community

  • Made a decision to obtain the services of a business coach to help me achieve my business goals

What about you?  Share in the comments below. 

Have a safe & enjoyable NYE!

Keep IT Sunny~

The month of December is just about over and so is 2021. I hope you had a better year than 2020. This is a great time to look over your business goals for the upcoming year and start planning for success. The tax man is just over the horizon and now is a great time to start getting your ducks in a row to make sure you are ready to file on time. Check out the blog post I wrote this month about Planning for the Tax Man. This will give you information to help you get started on your tax planning journey. I will keep this post short and sweet. I hope you have an amazing NYE & holiday weekend and that you crush your goals in 2022!

Keep IT Sunny!

HAPPY NEW YEAR & WELCOME TO 2020!

The New Year is here and along with it comes a barrage of marketing emails & commercials urging you to make and keep your new years resolution. It also comes with reminders of how long those resolutions usually last.

All of it can feel overwhelming.

Much in the same way when you are an entrepreneur there are plenty of resources to look at that will tell you how to start a business and just as easy there are resources that will tell you how long it usually takes people to fail.

It can be discouraging.

My goal with this blog is to take a look at how you can be more informed to run your business and create more peace in it. As we begin this new year this month I want to focus on the journey of an entrepreneur who is in the start-up phase of their business. My goal is to share information that will help to build a solid foundation. If you are way past this journey no worries because there are still things to glean and take away that will be reminders to help you along your entrepreneurial journey too!

Happy New Decade & Keep it Sunny!
