In this episode of Your Biz, Your Rules, I thought I’d delve into the much discussed “word of the year” concept that always seems to be bouncing around the interwebz at this time of year.

Listen here:

The key takeaways:

💛 The “word of the year” is a concept (dreamed up by Christine Kane) which involves setting a one-word intention for the year. However, I tend to use this words as prompts to check in with myself, to make sure I’m on track to achieve what I want from the world. This year, I’ve got 3:

Chill: I want to stop driving myself into the ground – I have a tendency to throw myself ALL IN, consequences be damned!

Change: Last year, I found myself coasting along quite a lot. I let myself be content hiding away behind the scenes, doing my client work and avoiding any of the big projects that could bring me a different kind of success.

Cha-ching: I’ve got a couple of big expenditures on the horizon (a.k.a. a house and a wedding) so this year I want to a) be discerning about what I spend and b) focus on work that brings in the money I’d like to be making.

So every time I have to make a decision, I’ll be asking myself:

  • Will this eat into the downtime I’m so desperately hoping to have?
  • Will this bring positive change to my life and business?
  • Is this a sensible financial choice?

(So once again, I’ve taken an airy fairy concept and made it boring and practical but hey ho!)

Now tell me… what’s your word of the year?
