Thank you for making 2024 amazing!

Thank you for making 2024 amazing!

November might be the month where Thanksgiving falls on the calendar, but December is the time of the year when I make time to reflect and give thanks…and this year I am thankful for YOU!

I am thankful for the people who hired me in hopes that I would inspire their teams. I am thankful from the people who recommended me so I could make connections and build my brand. I am thankful for the team members who let me into their lives (if only for an hour). Mostly I am thankful for all the opportunities to change the world that 2024 provided…thanks to you!

At the start of the year, I established 3 main goals (and I shared them publicly in my February email).  Like many of you, I didn’t achieve them all, but I accomplished things I didn’t even dream of 11 months ago.  

Here’s a recap:

Writing Goal:  Sell 1000 copies of Reimagine Your Work by its launch anniversary in November and create companion workbook - Nope, I didn’t hit 1000, but I am making a push to reach 750 by the end of the year (I’m 713 as of today). I also didn’t make a workbook, but that’s because I decided to put all the tools on my website FOR FREE instead.  

Speaking Goal: Complete 20 speaking or training engagement including 1 bulk book order and create a 4-week drip campaign with 2-5 minute videos for each book to support ongoing engagement - Yes Yes Yes!  During 2024, I had 20 speaking engagements (4 with bulk book orders) and made guest appearances on 8 podcasts! I also created the video series for Reimagine Your Work so that clients can continue the learning after our session.

Consulting Goal: Identify 2 new clients to engage with in 2024 and establish a charitable giving strategy for the business to support causes that are important to me and my family (likely women and children focused) - Complete! This year, thanks to recommendations from you, I had the chance to provide long-term technical consulting to 3 new clients, bring on a new 1099 teammate, and provide support to the Society of Women Engineers, Dressember/StreetGrace/Rescuing Hope (all of which fight human trafficking), and a local business for adults with disabilities called Rise Coffee and Tea.

Thank you all for helping me Define Success On My Own Terms!
