WRITTEN TRANSCRIPT:
It's the end of the year and it's time for me to get my business and life together.
2023 was not my best year, and I'm really looking forward to creating something better in 2024.
So if you can relate and you are ready for an incredible next year, stay with me because I have some simple things you can do that will have you going into the new year feeling renewed, refreshed & ready to go.
I have 3 different categories that we're going to go through together!
#1: Do Things That Make You Feel Better 💛
Number one is to do things that make you feel better personally. This could be something like taking a day to catch up on sleep, or this could be inviting your bff over for a spa night and doing face masks and all of the things.
Just take a moment and really tune into what you need right now and what would just make you feel better on a personal level.
For me, that meant getting a haircut (because somehow it had been ages), getting my nails done, and getting my nails done - just things like that that would have me feel more put together and more like myself.
So whatever that self care thing is that you need right now, take the time, go and do it! You're going to feel so much better after.
#2: Your Environment 🏡
Step number two is to make your environment feel better.
For me, that meant doing a deep clean of my house, sorting through my closet, decluttering, and donating a bunch of my clothes. I felt so much better after doing this.
Then, you could consider purchasing some small items that elevate your space. For example some fresh flowers, maybe some new candles, a new throw pillow - and because this is about business and life - don't forget about your workspace.
So for me, I rearranged some furniture, got some fresh sunflowers, bought a new plant (that's more like a tree actually... okay... I got a tree 😆), and I also upgraded my space so that I'm now using a stand for my laptop, I got a magic keyboard and trackpad so that I could have better posture while I work.
Some other ideas include hanging up new artwork or photos and then switching up your lighting to create a warmer, welcoming space.
The overall point here is that your environment really impacts your wellbeing and productivity so take the time to create an environment that makes you feel good.
#3: Prep Your Business for Success 🚀
Step number three is prep your business for success.
I would start with grabbing your phone and decluttering. This can be things like going through your camera roll and deleting duplicates or any photos that you no longer need, or going through your apps and deleting any that you're not using.
As you're doing this, I would also be looking for clips that you could reuse in content. What I do is I create an album on my phone for B-roll (basically any clip that could be used as background footage for a reel or TikTok). This is so handy and saves me so much time. So any clip that you have of you working behind the scenes, even just scenery, you walking down the street, drinking your coffee, that can all go into your B-roll album.
So you're going to go through and declutter your phone.
After that, you're going to turn to your computer and declutter that as well. So if your desktop is a hot mess right now, go ahead and organize those files - it's going to feel so good to do this!
There's a ton of things you can do here to declutter, too. For example, you could clean out your project management system. You can get rid of old, overdue tasks that you're not going to do. You can clean your inbox, or you can just accept defeat and you can archive all of them that are in there and start fresh.
That's totally fine too.
I actually have a full checklist for you that includes tons of ways for you to declutter and prep your business for success in 2024.

And finally, take the time to grab a notebook or journal and reflect on 2023; What are the biggest lessons for you? What were the biggest wins, your biggest challenges? And what are you really hoping to create in 2024? So while it's fresh in your mind do a proper review.
I also recommend opening up your accounting software, really looking at your numbers and seeing what lessons you can pull from that.
All right, so that's how to get your business and life together before 2024.
In my next post, I'm going to share with you how to create the best year yet. So if you haven't subscribed yet, make sure to do so.
Thank you so much for watching and I'll see you real soon with that!
