Year End Plans

2022 Challenges

Hey , 

Can you believe the year is almost over? How many goals did you achieve? Pat yourself on the back—or pop a bottle of champagne! This was a rough year for everyone, meaning every achievement you met was hard-fought and well won.

In fact, remembering to reward myself might be a New Year's resolution. When it comes to myself and my work, I am quick to criticize, slow to praise. But when you are your own boss, as most of us are, that is not a strong plan for long-term success. Agreed?

But goal setting is critical to achievement. Every expert would agree. And that means setting yourself up for both failure and success.

On this week's blog, I talk a lot about being alone as a writer, and about finding your tribe. I found mine with Pencils and Lipstick, and founder Kat Caldwell has opened her doors to new members. Are you looking for accountability, and perhaps friendship? Learn more on the blog here.

Okay, now you have your mindset where it needs to be, and perhaps a few people who have your back. What next?

Perhaps you want to look at Thriving Scribe's Awesome "Epic Annual Success Plan Masterclass" which begins LIVE on January 3rd. I bought this course last year and boy did it set me on the right path at the right time. I plan to do the refresher next month, because it launches me into the year with my best foot forward, and well, because it's live!

The early bird enrollment ends December 24th, so jump on this one now. Want to learn more? Get the skinny here.

Or maybe you need to start even further back than a success plan. Maybe you need better time management skills? In that case, checkout this year end sale on "Time Management Blueprint for Writers: Transform Your Life and Finish Your Book" being offered at a whopping 50 percent discount through Jan. 1. 

After all, this is the time of year when people like us are busy making New Year's resolutions and organizing our calendars. If you find yourself under water more often than you float, this is the course for you! And by using the coupon code ulttimeclass at checkout, you can learn to manage your time and your life in forty-three modules in four key areas: Electronic Clutter, External Clutter, Internal Clutter, and the logistics of Getting Things Done. All for only $79, half off the regular price.

This is only offered through January 1, so sign up now. Ask someone to give it to you for Christmas. It makes an outstanding gift!

I'll be doing a refresher of the time management modules that helped me the most, and I will be live with Brit on January 3rd. If I don't find you sprinting in Pencils and Lipstick, perhaps I'll see you in one of these epic classes.

Hope to see you there!
