January 07, 2025It’s a new day, not just another day—2024 recap & vision for 2025
This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for anyone who wants to ditch the pressure of resolutions and create a vision that grows with them for life.
I’m diving into my annual tradition of creating a vision board—a practice I’ve found to be more empowering with long-term growth than traditional resolutions. I’ll reflect on my wins and misses from last year’s board, including the goals I absolutely crushed and the areas where I fell a *little* short. Plus, I’ll share my vision for 2025 and explain how this method helps me align my goals with the person I want to become.
Tune in to discover how focusing on categories like mindset, business, resilience, and rest can keep you grounded and motivated all year long.
