I’m halfway through my fiscal year (which ends Feb 28 for me), and guess what, Reader? I’m only 38% of the way to hitting my KPIs and an oh-so-embarrassing 13% on my visibility goals. 😒 Womp! Womp!

But hear me out. Because I have reasons.

Lots of reasons.

Reasons like:

• I had a rough five months. Mental health? Not thriving. Energy levels? Non-existent.
  ​
• Caleb switched jobs, which flipped our home life upside down and dumped a ton of stuff back on my plate. Thanks, adulting.
  ​
• Oh, and a client suddenly needed way more from me, which neither of us saw coming (a thankfully rare occurrence).

But the real reasons—the reasons I had control over and could have done something about that would have made all the other reasons less of an issue—are these:

1. I set my goals way too high—like, reach-for-the-stars-and-land-in-the-mud levels of high. And I didn’t check in with myself to see if they were actually doable before etching them in digital stone. Oops.
   ​
2. I didn’t create a plan. I’ve been over here “winging it” like it’s my entire identity. Sure, it’s been fun. I’ve met awesome people, played with new tools, created fun new offers, yada yada… but it hasn’t exactly been good for meeting goals.

Now, don’t get me wrong—I’m not saying fun is the enemy here. What I need is both: the fun and the productivity.

Ever write a mantra on your bathroom mirror to remind you about your priorities, but you write it in badly in brown eyeliner, and it looks like a crime scene note? (Just me? Cool.) Well, mine says, “Don’t sacrifice what you want most for what you want now.” But that’s exactly what I’ve been doing!

So I’m hitting the reset button.

As of today, I’m making a plan, and Step 1 is asking for a little help—from you (if you don't mind).

Here’s the ask: If you or someone you know has a podcast you think I’d be a perfect fit for, or if there’s a group that needs a workshop or guest speaker, could you send me their way?

My goal is to book 10 podcasts/guest spots by the end of the year.

And if you don’t know of anyone off hand, please keep me in mind, and in the meantime, send me the most encouraging gif you can find 🙂

Thanks in advance for being awesome and helping me get back on track. 💖

Xo,
Sandra
