As we think about 2021 and how to plan for the year ahead, we wanted to acknowledge that the year ahead might be a lot like the year we are leaving and that is to say that we expect it to be unexpected. This episode is all about us setting our different parameters for being our version of successful in 2021. It’s a different way than we have approached goal setting in the past and even the way that both of us are approaching our strategies are different but can we both agree that the year ahead should be focused on what you can control? Oh, for sure. 

What we talked about:

• What did you do in the past that didn’t serve you?
• What did you learn this year that does work for you?
• How will you guide your 2021 strategy? 
  • Erica has picked a word - SPACE to guide her goals for the year
  • Laura is focused on professional development and isn’t going to get distracted by 
• Focusing on what we can control and keeping in mind that the restrictions of 2020 won’t be gone
• Bonus question - what will keep you motivated this year since travel and big celebrations, live music, etc might not be an option this upcoming year? 
  • Laura introduces her “Want To Do List” 
    • Food styling 
    • Create an amazing playlist 
    • Make a bold personal appearance change - purple hair, get those glasses, change your fashion style 
  • Erica makes some suggestions 
    • Reinvented date night (to go margaritas, playing a game, dancing party in your living room)
    • Mini safe vacations 

Let’s see what happens.
