Intentions, Goals & Word of the Year 2024

10m · Fireside · 02 Jan 06:00

If 2023 was concluding the last chapter of my life, then 2024 is the turning over into the next one. Almost every aspect of my life is completely different now than it was a year ago, and at this point I have no idea what’s going to happen with all these new plot points and locations nor where the story is going to go. But then, as I was writing that sentence, I remembered: I’m the author. I decide what happens in this next chapter.

What I talk about in this episode:

  • What I hope to embody in 2024
  • The goals I hope to achieve in the coming year
  • What my Word of the Year is for 2024, and how I came to decide on it

How To Find Your Secret Sauce (Or Not)

Hello and welcome back to Fireside. Today I’m going to be talking about something that has stirred a lot of thinking in me: secret sauce. What I mean by this is the ‘thing’ that makes us successful online, and particularly on that app we can’t help but love-hate: Instagram.

  • The ways in which Instagram has changed, and what it’s meant for ‘growth’
  • The beauty in the absence of strategy
  • Embracing creation, and showing up, and infectious joy

The Big Overwhelming New Thing

Hello and welcome back to Fireside. Today is a topic prompts very much a ‘been there, know that’ feeling for me, because if there’s one thing I’ve always done, it start big, new, overwhelming things. Whilst that is part of the fun of it, there are a few ways in which you can approach it to make your redirection easier, and more easily attainable. That’s what I’m talking about in today’s episode.

  • Not underestimating the limiting power of the ‘box’ you’ve put yourself in
  • Mourning your old vision
  • Being organised and deliberate - without rushing it
  • Detaching from the outcome
  • How to break a redirection down as a project
