KEY TAKEAWAYS COVERED IN THE PODCASTThink about everything that went well in the year, and how they made you feel. If you need to, scroll back through emails and social media and make a note of everything good that happened. At the same time, make a note of the things that didn’t go so well.It’s also important to make a note of the things I loved in the previous year. These may be completely different to the things that went well, but it will give you a chance to see what you want to do more of in the year ahead.When analysing your metrics, think about money. What did your business earn? Did you achieve your goal? What services made you the most money? How many customers have you sold to?It’s also important to think about your social media numbers. How many followers have you gained? Has your engagement rate increased? How big is your email list?When thinking about next year, think about what you want to be reviewing at the end of the year. How do you want your business to look? What do you want your personal life to be like? What would you like to achieve? Remember to dream big as nothing is out of reach!Once you have thought of your goals, who do you need to be in order to make this happen?It’s also worth thinking about what you need help with in order to achieve your goals.THE ONE THING YOU NEED TO REMEMBER ABOVE ALL ELSE…No matter where you are in your business, the New Year is a great time to review everything you’ve done and set goals for the year to come.

And I am your host Teresa Heath-Wareing. Wow I can’t believe we’re in December already and I feel like everything is starting to slow down. No one wants to do anywhere. Everybody just wants to get on with the amazing Christmas cheer and you know what happens in my business in December is because there’s a huge part of the business that deals with clients. Often the clients start to naturally want to wind down as well. Anything new. We don’t do until the following year or we don’t have any particular meetings coming up in December. So for my business typically December has been a quiet month which is no problem to me whatsoever because as you can imagine with the family and Christmas and my daughter breaking up it’s hard work trying to do of things so I am very grateful for the fact that December’s a little bit quieter. The other reason I’m super grateful is because in December I obviously like to review where this year has taken us what we’ve achieved and then look to next year and focus on where I want to go what dreams and aspirations I’ve got. So today I wanted to do a podcast episode that focused around this. I’m wondering have you already done this yet in your business or do you normally do this. Do you take time at the end of the year to really look at where you’ve come from what you’ve achieved and then make those amazing goals for next year. If you haven’t I highly recommend that you do. Because sometimes we forget what we’ve done and we always focus on like the last thing and if the last thing was particularly great or you know wasn’t as good as you would hope. Then maybe you’ll be feeling like you know what this year hasn’t been what I wanted it to be. But actually you know I can’t remember what happened two weeks ago let alone back in March or June...
