For me 2022 was my year to focus on me, this was not a year for me to focus on my business as I had been the past 2 years, but suprisingly from taking a step back I actually learnt SO MUCH. So here’s 22 things I learnt about business in 2022…

Breaks are healthy, feel like you need time off? Take it!
You need to expand yourself with other people that are doing what you want to do in order to feel like YOU CAN DO IT.
Everything comes down to your mindset and it needs to be neutral for you to really achieve what you want to achieve.
The energy you put in is what you’ll get back.
Don’t force anything - if you are constantly coming up against challenges when you try over and over to do the same thing and it still isn’t working, maybe it’s time to stop forcing something to work and pivot in to a new direction.
Trust your gut.
Community is key surround yourself with people who understand what you’re doing, support you, hold you accountable and you’ll find yourself in a constant thinktank.
There’s opportunity everywhere, be open to exploring opportunities across all walks of your life.
You should be running your business, not letting your business run you.
You can’t pour from an empty cup, when you feel like you are running on energy, take a step back to recharge before you pick up where you left off with a new set of eyes.
Sales can be passive, you just need to put the work in to set your business up to sell on automation.
Money is not the be all and end all, it’s even more fulfilling when your business has a wider purpose.
The environment you work from is super important to keep inspiring and motivating your ideas and productivity.
Business support is the best investment you will make - this year I’ve hired social media support, business coaches, branding designers - all people who have areas of expertise that I don’t so I can offload some of my work and also get a fresh perspective on my business.
If you don’t market, you won’t sell.
The things that scare you will be the things that you get the most out of!
Social media is not the be all and end of all of marketing - if it’s not your thing find something that is, like I have with my podcast The Commerce Club.
Collaborations are fun, myself & @clare_alex_consults are proof of this, check out our group coaching 6 months to launch pad here!
If you know you should be doing something, but you’re not doing it, there’s probably something deeper going on here and you won’t make moves until you solve it.
Hustle culture sucks, life & business is more enjoyable when it feels balanced.
The less I work, the more productive I am with my time.
