257. Progress Over Perfection: Lessons from Your Year in Business

The best plans are made ahead of time! Even though 2024 is not over yet, it’s the perfect time to take a look back at the year, assess, and start planning for a successful 2025 now!  In this episode, I list key questions that will help you review your year in business as a business owner and human. Your end-of-year review should not only look at your financials but also your livelihood, because what’s the point of running your own business if you aren’t growing and making positive changes in your life?  You’ll determine what worked and what didn’t in 2024 and use those insights moving into 2025. I share some of my own answers, a few more vulnerable than others, and how I'm using that introspection to inform my business next year.  Some of these questions will be easier than others, but each one is worth taking the time to answer because I believe digging into those can only benefit us in the long run as long as we concentrate on progress over perfection. Before the end of the year, I encourage you to take time to reflect, question, and assess so you are better prepared for a successful year in business in 2025.  Get your pen and paper ready because this episode has some notes and homework for you to do!   Episode Resources: Ep 40.
