13 Critical Questions to Ask Yourself Before the End of 2023

Believe it or not, we are rapidly approaching the end of 2023. You’re probably thinking, how the heck did we get here?! You’re probably considering how you can wrap up the old year and start the new year fresh. You’re also probably wondering: what should I be doing right now to put myself in a good place for 2024?

Personally, I don’t believe that it’s about what you do. It’s more about how you think. It’s about reflection and documentation. That is why, in today’s episode, I share a little bit about the past 12 months at Boss Project and highlight some of our major successes and challenges. I also offer you some critical questions to ask yourself to prepare you for 2024 and help you frame what you want for your future.

Massively Simplifying My Offers and BIG Changes for 2024

Over the last eight years, Boss Project has had so many offers and today I’m announcing the major simplifications to my offers that I am so excited about. I have been hesitating to do this episode for so long because I wasn’t sure if this was the direction that I wanted to go in and I have always been so ‘married’ to the direction I was committed to and steadfast about how I was going to get there. While that’s great, things change so often and it’s more beneficial to be able to act according to what’s happening in real-time and make pivots to your plan along the way.

Slow on Purpose: Removing Urgency & Allowing Rest

If you were to ask me how I feel about the rest of the year, I would probably tell you something about wanting to pack it up and see you guys in January! But I’m not going to do that. Instead, I want to talk about slowing down on purpose.

A few members of the co-op community have mentioned feeling as though they are always in a rush. What would it look like if you didn’t put so much of a timeline on so much of what you were doing? How much additional space, excitement, and desire would that give you creatively? How much fuel would that give to your life? Let’s talk about it!
