Exactly a year ago I was totally burnt out from the wild ride of entrepreneurship.
BURNT OUT!
I took almost 2 weeks off around Christmas, went home to be with my family, spent time on a silent retreat, and tried to mentally recover from what had been the craziest year on so many levels.
While on that retreat I made a list of all the things that were stressing me out, and I made an action plan to conquer each of those items.
And then I set my word of the year for 2023: Be Still.
Looking back on that list of stressors now, almost all of them are a far distant memory.
And while I traveled more this year than any other year of my life (hello Rome, Spain, Phoenix, Seattle, Atlanta, Raleigh, Knoxville, Chicago, South Bend, Milwaukee, San Francisco, etc) it was also a year in which I worked on slowing down and being still whenever possible.
As a result of the amazing team I’m surrounded by and attempting to slow down, Rosebud Social had one amazing year! A year I am beyond grateful for and super humbled by.
To all of our clients and the members of the Social Circle, we are so blessed that you trust us with your brand, your mission, and your message. We work hard every day to do justice to the trust you place in us.
To my team, thanks for everything!! (And for putting up with all my crazy ideas and the even crazier travel schedule.)
To every small business owner out there in the burnout years, you got this! Take a break, regroup, and continue plowing along. You’ll be amazed at what a difference a single year can make.
Thank you to everyone who helped make 2023 the year that it was!
