What another year in the Sheariously Journey. From starting the year with the 2nd lockdown, followed by the 3rd lock down in the Spring it has been an adventure of lows & highs. Truly, that's how life flows anyways...Imma right?!?!
I consider myself a goal digger in my Business. Set them for the new year & exacute them. 2021 I did the unthinkable, I set NO GOALS & I did it purposefully. I wanted to scale back as I realized some of my goals truly didn't impact my soul...I was chasing for approval from others. People pleaser still lives within {I'll keep the good habits tho, working in a service industry}
Throughout the year, opportunities of goals arised & yes, I accomplished them. I allowed the door to be open, see what else was available that I have never thought of & able to make room for the goal. It was a different approach to try & I did just that.
As the new year approaches, I have set some realistic goals that align with me & business desires. Eliminating the comparison of my goals & productivity not being enough. I have a slower unique way of achieving my wants & needs. I feel goals can give me Axiety...goals are future desires...& where does axiety live...the future. This year, I was more present as ever, more self awareness & it shows. Gives me empowerment on how I want to show up. Opportunities arise when your out of your comfort zone, well I was out of my comfort zone discovering myself...later becoming more self-assured.
My goals don't have to be the same or as big as others. My goals are my own to level up how I see fit. Trying is the greatest asset.
One of my Business goals, I still haven't fully excuted has been a LONG term goal...& I am still navigating how to pull it off. I want to create passive income online. I have yet figured what route to take. I've dabbled in the Home Salon Business Mentor {Balance Your Beauty Business} in podcast, free downloadable guide books & creating a "Establishing A Home Salon" start up book...even developing a wicked Scalp Treatment Massage Bar called Seductive with CBD in it....none of these efforts has made me cha-ching online tho. I do know that these efforts have potential. What gives me fear is living majority of my life online...not be present in real life & family, self priorities. Like I mentioned, I'm slow & the internet is fast...keeping up will cause digital burnouts for myself. Embracing burnouts is proof I am trying...PREACH JAMI...trying different methods to get closer to what I desire.
What I have hard time sorting through to make this goal a reality is the approaches I have invested learnings/researched doesn't align with my morals. Approaches of marketing smoothering {emails}, marketing towards womens insecurities...the beauty industry can be ruthless & misleading.
That is the difficulties I face with the Industry. I would be lieing if I told you my passion behind the chair wasn't fully lit. I searched for other careers for part time. Craving more. More Stability. BUT I logical know I am fantasizing 'Greener On The Other Side' Always pros & cons in anything we do in this life game.
As a creative with ADD tendencies, I dip low & high in motivation. There are elements in life that will knock you off your path of inspiration. Mine this year was a Traumatic experience of running over a neighborhood cat.... Then a few months later our first fur-baby Nova-kitty joined the spirit world. Double whammy of CATastrophic heart ache.
The last 2 years with the worlds dumpster fire experience of the unknown & 'well that doesn't make fucking sense' government approaches I felt like I was walking on eggshells, internally high strung & too much advoidance of out of home adventures cause I didn't want to get sick or spread.
Covid hasn't entered our home yet 🤞 the anticipation is an engery sucker tho. EW!
Anyways, self work & Therapy for the win! Wonders!
Here are things I am absolutely greatful for that came out of 2021!
Finally got to do a celebration of life for my Grandpa who past in 2020.
After 5+ years of dreaming of a CBD hair product, I created Seductive Scalp Massage Treatment Bar. After 2 batches of testing, the 3rd batch I sold on my retail shelve during December & have 2 left. Continue to sell in Salon. Future, Markets & online.
I still show up digitally to market my Business
Vacation to our home town in Northern BC & well needed Family bonding
Ryker still attended is annual Granny & Grandpa visit in Kelowna. Kyle & I had a good us-time bonding vacation.
My Dad came to visit. We moved into a new home 3 months before the Pandemic hit...My parents haven't seen it yet. Mom plans to come in 2022.
I am getting more intuned with my spiritual side. I like crystals, oracle cards, plants & Astrology.
I am more self-aware
Well, this concludes my year in review. It happened, the good & bad. Thank you past for your learnings & embracing what's to come.
Sin-Sheariously, a SHE-EO who is still discovering...always.
