January: End of month roundup
End of month roundups have been a habit in my business for as long as I can remember and this morning I wondered if sharing them might be helpful?
Firstly to re-inforce the truth that no businesses are ever as shiny as Instagram may make them look AND to prompt you to do the same. And also because I forever forget what happened so it’s a handy timestamp.
It consists of:
✔️HIGH
✔️LOWS
✔️LESSONS LEARNT
I’m sure some business coaches would cringe at how simplistic this is but when it comes to just a month, I find it’s the perfect amount (plus it only takes 5 mins!).
HIGHS:
✔️Official launch of AB method product range
✔️New podcast - ‘Wish We Knew’ with Vix Meldrew
✔️Filming my course for Domestic in London
✔️Return of the 30 day reels thing
LOWS:
✔️Starting the Conversation (My Podcast) went of a break - it’ll be back!
✔️Over committed myself and got very worn out at times
✔️Found solo lockdown tricky - enough said
✔️Worried about income and had to remind myself it wasn’t launch month
LESSONS LEARNT:
✔️I might need better cashflow forecasting in placebo soothe said fluctuating income worries
✔️Outside opportunities are brilliant and it’s important to think about how they fit into my business
✔️Doing dry and no spend January during lockdown = a sad idea
✔️Having real life products it very cool
