Early 2017 has tuned into “second chance” to build a pretty awesome career and life. But I never would’ve gotten here if I hadn’t made some major changes in 2016.
What changes did you make in 2016 that set you up for success (or at least “un-failing”) in 2017?
2016 was my “Year of Saying No.” Sort of the metaphysical equivalent of dumping the things from my life that no longer work and moving into one room…but a room with a large window and and better view.
I’ve gone through that same process before and know what you mean about the catharsis it brings. During one of my breakdowns (a partial result of never saying no), my told me, “Remember – an opportunity is not an obligation.” It’s been one of my mantras ever since.
