It wasn't just about making a roadmap for the year. It was about confronting what wasn't working. So a lot less clean, a lot less enjoyable. But let's be clear, planning doesn't mean everything will go smoothly. It just means that you'll start that year with clarity, with that intention. and that process will feel less messy. You'll have a better understanding of what's going to go on.

It does not mean there aren't going to be bumps in the way and there's always unforeseen stuff. Whenever I look at my plans, there's always stuff that I never anticipated happening and priorities switch and change. I tend to get clients, and I'll come onto this in a little bit, but I tend to get them to

You know, the surprising benefits of facing those tough questions this year, actually taking the time to answer them meant that what would have been a one-day session spilled in two weeks. Why? Because those questions that I had to wrestle with, that I had to get my head around, were much more bigger than usual, much bigger than usual.

But you're ambitious, you want to do all these things, you have all these ideas. And I think this has always been there, but this is the first time I thought, you know what, realistically, I need to be more sensible here. And there's a number of reasons for that.
