As I embark on my third year of self employment, and of course its January, it feels apt to reflect and refocus on what has come before and what looks likely to come this year. Year 1 was immense for me, year 2 was a mixed bag so what will year 3 bring, who knows? But what I do know is with every year that passes, I understand more about what I can do and who I am, professionally speaking.

A new year can really focus the mind and force you to plan; to think about what you want to achieve and how you are going to get there.

Whilst I don’t have any great urge to resolve to stop or start doing things, I am starting to feel like I actually am finding my feet in this uncertain and erratic world I call work. In turn this has made me think about my ‘three things’ for 2019. So here goes….

Refine and refresh what I do, why and how. Explore the value of my skills and make sure to align this to the ethos I am committed to - clarity.
Meet more people; make new friends and get out more. Don’t accept the solitude of self employment; find likeminded people and have some fun.
Give something back. Focus less on the commercial and more on the valuable.

On top of this, I am going to try to write monthly and also complete my first triathlon - so not much really.

Here’s to a happy, healthy and action packed 2019!
