Prepare BEFORE Making Any New Year Plans: Reflecting on the Year

Pattern Design Circle Podcast

Do you have a habit of setting yourself up for success? I believe many of us are very used to setting ourselves up for failure, or at least make the chances of success more difficult. This is for a variety of reasons: lack of example, lack of clarity and focus, not understanding what our unique definition of success is, and beyond. In this episode I dive into a few ways that we often set ourselves up for failure when planning.
How many times have you recycled a goal from a previous year, or a goal that you've seen someone else make - without truly checking in with yourself to see if if felt important or meaningful to you? How many times have you set goals and plans that sound good - but failed to check in with how they really felt and what they really meant?
In this episode, we chat about reflecting as a method of preparation for the planning and goal-setting process in order to set ourselves up for success. This allows us to be better in tune with what we truly desire, what works for us, and motivates us, as well as being aware of the historical data of what we can expect and what we can improve on.
This is the first of a series of podcast episodes all around planning in your business for the new year.
