2025 is in 2 days. I know -- WTH!?
I know that “New Year, New You” energy is coming in strong. The social media algorithm just wants us to dive straight into goal setting, and getting cute planners.
BUT. HOLD UP, AND WAIT A MINUTE.
Before we spring into 2025, let’s sit with 2024 and CHILL for a second.
Because let’s be real, 2024 came with lessons and a whole lotta plot twists.
And I got receipts from my own messy, beautiful 2024 to share.
So before you unpack your lessons, why not sip on some tea and listen to mine first #sharingiscaring
In this episode, I spill:
I know it’s easy for us to start wanting to set goals for 2025, but before we go there it’s important to reflect on lessons learned.
And let me tell you -- I got my fair share of mistakes and lessons learned from 2024.
As you plan for the new year, I want to make sure you take time to feel uncomfortable to reflect on your own mistakes and lessons learned.
And what better way then to listen to my mistakes first before you listen to yours… #yourewelcome
So, take a moment to reflect. Because if you don’t the universe/God/Beyonce (pick your higher power 🐝) will keep sending that same lesson your way.
What We Cover in This Episode:
- How I mastered talking to people who yell (are unregulated) and kept my peace intact ✌🏼
- How I’m working with less clients in 2025, but earning more in 2025 (spoiler: fewer clients, less burnout and even better client results)
- How Muay Thai has helped me to slow down and why it’s important for you to also play
If you would like to see how to work with me to create a more sustainable life where you can be more present with yourself and create your own checklist of success that’s not created by society and loved ones, then schedule a complimentary legacy business and career review at elainelou.com/call
