Every year, I usually choose one word to guide everything I do in business.
But this year… that doesn’t quite feel right.
I’m not craving a word that becomes another quiet rule to live up to, and I’m definitely not interested in a 47-point goal list that makes you feel behind by February.
What I am leaning into is something gentler,
a touchstone, not a target.
Something to return to, a steady reference when things start to feel noisy or unclear.
Not something I have to achieve, just something that helps me check in and ask, “Is this still aligned?”
It’s what I’ll come back to when I’m making decisions, when I’m deciding where to put my time and energy… and where not to.
Not “Am I doing enough?”
But “Does this feel aligned with how I want to work, grow, and live?”
Less pressure.
More intention.
A way of working that also supports the life I want alongside this business.
No big reveal, just a shift in how I’m approaching the year ahead.
Honestly? It already feels lighter and heading in the right direction.
What’s guiding your year ahead?
