Ep. 73: Aimee J. - 2016 Review and Top 5 Recommendations From Guests

Today’s episode is a special one and a very different one than normal. I’m going solo today as I reflect back on 2016 and look ahead to 2017. The beginning of a new year is always a terrific time for this kind of evaluation. From all of the wonderful recommendations from my guests, I’ve compiled Five Top Recommendations to Help You in 2017. These FIVE simple tips can help you as you continue to chase your dreams in this New Year. Aren’t you curious?  Join me now!

Looking back to 2016
How was 2016 for YOU? As with most any year, we can find some good things and some bad things that happened. It’s the same, of course, for me. I’m humbled to have hit 73 episodes for the podcast, 50 guests, and over 20,000 downloads! Amazing! I have to say thanks to my listeners and my guests because you are the ones to make all of this possible. So many of my guests are friends, colleagues, and “dream guests” that I never thought possible.

Looking ahead to 2017
So, what lies ahead for YOU? Like me, you may have big plans and big dreams. Learning how and when to say YES and when to say NO must accompany the chase for those dreams. I hope you’ve realized that you cannot say YES to everything! What do you plan to do differently in 2017? I hope to do more blogging, more coaching and have more involvement with my listeners. I want to overcome the challenges of spending more time together with my family. Finding time for everything I WANT to do is the biggest challenge of all. You may be experiencing the same difficulty. Specifically, I want to put myself first; I can’t help others if I’m not taking care of myself. I want to show that “representation matters,” and shine the light on those who are sometimes unnoticed. In short, I want to find the best tactics for dream-chasing and share them here with you.
