Hey there, travelpreneur!
So, last week I said that I’d be sharing how to do a year-end review with you in this issue.
But a funny thing happened when I sat down to start writing it - I froze 🥶.
The truth is, I simply don’t have enough knowledge to adequately teach this process since I’ve only done it once properly.
Although I found it to be an incredibly useful way to close out 2022, it’s not for me to teach.
Instead, I’ll rather direct you to my mentors who introduced this process to me. My biz coaches at Wandering Aimfully1 (Jason + Caroline) created a super helpful guide that helps you review the past year, optimize the present, and envision the future 🔮.
Check out their blog post here which comes with a free Notion workbook that you can use as you work through it.
My word for 2023 is SIMPLIFY which means that I’m constantly reviewing each aspect of my work (such as writing this newsletter) to determine whether I can simplify it or not.
So, when I hit a wall 🧱 trying to write this issue, I knew I had to simplify. Go back to basics. Reset.
What is it that I want to teach you AND have the experience to do so?
The answer is simple…
How to become a wildly successful travel content creator or entrepreneur!
This is why I created the following guide 👇
