It’s hard to believe my little podcast is 100 episodes old this week. I'm very proud of what I’ve achieved, but I also know it's time to shake things up. It’s been an interesting experience with lots of lessons and I thought today, I’d share some of them with you along with a big decision I've made.

I love marketing and I can happily spend hours creating images, writing articles, and producing podcasts amongst other things. I’m known for being consistent with my content and for being productive.
Whist creating marketing is a happy place for me – it must have good reasoning behind it. And if I’m honest – for me, it hasn’t always been that way!
Spending time marketing and working on the wrong things is a great way to keep yourself busy, but it’s also a way of procrastinating and stopping yourself from doing the important work.
You need to be focussing on the activities that work and attract clients.

Your vision is having an idea of how you want your life and business to look and feel in the future. Knowing what you want your lifestyle to be will help you to create a business that supports it, in the right way for you.
You don’t need to know all the answers now, and your vision will evolve and change as you do. But it will give you direction and help you to plan your business.
This in turn will stop you from getting side-tracked and help you focus on the things that will move your business forward.

As practitioners, we’re small business owners and need to earn money to survive. Do you set yourself a revenue goal each year – the money you want your business to earn?
If not, you’re going to be drifting along with a vague idea of what you need to survive – this year it’s time to change tactics.

We’re coming up to the end of another year and it’s the perfect time to review how it’s gone for you. Spending time reflecting on last year will help you to wrap up the year and move your focus to what you want to achieve next year.
When you think about your past year - how was it?
Running your own business is a huge personal development exercise and it can be a rollercoaster ride. It’s easy to get caught up focusing on what went wrong and miss out on the good bits altogether.
