The coming of a new year is always a time for reflection. At the same time, I wouldn’t say I like making new years resolutions directly, and I like doing reviews, planning, and strategy session for myself and my work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have done annual reflections or reviews each year. This year I took a template I found online asking great questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It breaks down personal\/professional accomplishments and disappointments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do I feel were my most significant accomplishments in 2022?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will put together a 2023 plan over the next 2 weeks. Then I will share the business plans along with the personal ones. The two overlap with growing the personal brand, building more of the business, and even networking more often professionally. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
