Five Goals for my 28th Birthday
I turned 28 yesterday and I came up with five goals I want to reach this year. They are both personal and business related, with most of them working hand in hand with each other. Being an enneagram 2 (the helper) I really want to take control of my life/business and work on these five goals:
Healthy boundaries. I am a yes person, I know that. I know itâs okay to say no, but I have always had a hard time with it. I hate feeling like people are going to be disappointed in me or with my business hire someone else over me. This year I am setting healthy boundaries both in my business and my personal life. Iâm not going to be answering emails when I should be sleeping and Iâm not going to be bending over backwards just for a booking.
Being present. Going back to being a yes person, I feel like Iâm working 24/7 at times and Iâm not really present with my husband and family. In fact, Iâve been told that Iâm not present by my husband, which is the worst feeling in the world. I want to be more present with those around me that I care about as well be more present for my wedding couples. Iâm going to be stepping back and automating more of my social media and unplugging more after Jesse gets home from work and when weâre spending quality time together.
Give the best customer experience to my couples. I am working hard right now on creating more informational content and streamlining my process for couples. I want to give them an even better experience than I have been in the past. I hired a business coach to help me with this process and I am doing a LOT more education where I feel I need it most. I want to take my whole business to the next level and this is how Iâm going to do it.
Save and invest money. One of the biggest things that I heard yesterday in a mindset bootcamp is, âYou have to change the way you see things in order to receive the things youâve never had beforeâ. I need to change my myspace âŠI mean mindset about money and start saving and investing more than I am now. Iâm setting up an IRA for myself and using the app Robinhood to invest. Iâm also exploring other options and working on a joint savings account with my husband that has more than a few hundred bucks in it.
Run my company, not let my company run me. With hiring a business coach, my goal is to be on track with my business. Being on track with my business means to me that I have a solid workflow that keeps me running my business smoothly. It also means having a website that brings people in with great content for couples. I also donât want to feel stressed about deadlines and the overall process, so really automating everything is going to be key.
I canât wait to come back to this post next year on my 29th birthday to see how much Iâve grown. Itâs really the reason why I wanted to write all of this out, to show up and be the person I want to be. This year is all about growth and taking back having a healthy work/life balance. I am worthy of a successful business but Iâm also worthy to celebrate that success and be able to enjoy my life with the ones I love.
A HUGE thank you to Chelsea my business coach, Iâve been working with her for only two weeks and Iâm already seeing a HUUUUGE improvement. The better it gets, the BETTER it gets!
