Feeling reflective this week.
What do you anticipate defining your year next year?
Personally, 2024 is going to be all about refinement for me. The past couple of years I've been focused on building a foundation to work for myself. Now that I'm reaching a point where I've established a base, in 2024 I want to hone in on the additional skills that I've been putting off, and set a higher standard for my services and for myself in general.
Through the process of skill building and creating a living for myself, I've found that prioritization is paramount.
Before you even begin learning something new, you need to understand the why behind what you're doing.
If you aimlessly try to "learn" without a destination in mind, then you'll be all the more likely to take every little detour and hidden path along the trail that there is. It may feel productive since you're "learning" and acquiring new information, but in reality, it seems to be either a case of procrastination, excitement, fear, confusion, doubt -- any one of those, or all of them together -- that's pushing your end goal further down the trail. And if you keep wandering, you may never find it.
In the past couple of years, I feel that I've spent too much time wandering. But now that I have a better understanding of my end goal, I have a much more clearly defined path in front of me. No more detours or rabbit holes. I understand what chapter comes next. I have the core essentials down, now it's time to refine the supplementary skills that will broaden my scope to accommodate all new kinds of clients.

What are you focused on for your 2024? How will you characterize it? Is that subject to change?
