If you’ve been in my circle for awhile, you know I started this practice a few years ago after reading Atomic Habits. James Clear, the author, does this annually and he inspired me to do the same. This is my annual “performance” review based on goals that I set for myself at the beginning of 2021 as well as my 2022 goals.
James mentions in his last annual review that’s it’s uncomfortable to “brag” about himself and his business and to be so vulnerable by sharing some uncomfortable information. I agree but I figure it’s part of my personal growth process and if it inspires others to do the same, then great! So here it goes!
2022 Goals Review
Quick 2022 Recap: Since I wasn’t training as much last year, I spent more time in both businesses. This has been a challenge for me to manage and kept me from focusing on some of my business goals for TRU. I was able to be consistent with weekly You Tube videos since April with a few exceptions, I learned a lot by taking a few business courses, I transitioned both the TRU and ChiRunning/ChiWalking Community Platforms to Spaces (Mighty Networks), and had a successful Lifetime Membership launch.
I have not created my 2023 Goals yet but working on that now!
-
- Started Amy Porterfield’s Digital Course Academy on 9/19/22
- End of Year Review: I knew I wouldn’t be able to get a course together by the end of the year. It was a great investment though as I have lifetime access. I am working on my first course of 2023 which will probably be ready mid-late February:
- From Wishing to Walking: Make It A Habit in 30 Days . This will need to be for women only right now since it will be on the same platform as my TRU TRIBE. Later in 2023, I will have the capability to change this if I want to.
- End of Year Review: I knew I wouldn’t be able to get a course together by the end of the year. It was a great investment though as I have lifetime access. I am working on my first course of 2023 which will probably be ready mid-late February:
- Online Digital Course Bootcamp with Amy Porterfield 9/1
- Start Video Academy Strategy Course live on 2/28/22 and relaunch my You Tube by 8/22 started on 3/2
- Midyear Review: started dropping videos on 4/4/22 and I’ve released a new video every week since
- End of the Year Review: I only missed a few weeks during the year of videos. I chose to take the last 3 weeks of the year off. I listened to the Analytic Module of my VSA course late though. When I finally did do them, I found out that I’m not really reaching my target audience so there will be a small shift on my You Tube channel in 2023.
- Joined Trena Little’s 10K on Replay Course in November: a 12 month Mastermind and Digital Business Course
- Attended CEO Day (part of 10K on Replay) where we worked on goal setting for 2023
- Create at least 3 different opt ins for my newsletter by 8/22. When I changed platforms last year, I couldn’t use the same one so I haven’t had one for awhile. These may include ebooks and/or quizzes. As of 6/5, created Monthly Raffle for Video Analysis and TRU TRIBE 3 months free. Not crazy about these.
- Midyear Review: High on my 3rd Q To Do list
- Released my Get Out Of Your Running Rut: 70 Ideas To Get You Excited About Running Again in October
- End of Year Review: Re evaluating this process based on my learnings. While I want to increase the size of my mailing list, I’d rather have people on my list that want to be there. My email list dropped significantly when I changed platforms last year but my open rate went from 25% to 55%. That tells me that I have people that want to hear from me.
- Delve in deeper to the Membership Academy. There is a lot of content for membership owners.
- End of Year Review: I’ve used to find specific things I need. Will cancel this membership when it renews since I have the Mighty Network community of membership owners which is more relative to what I need now.
- Continue making the TRU TRIBE my priority. My ultimate goal (no deadline yet) is to make this 80% of my income. I am taking my time. I am on the Mighty Network Product Council and we looked at my Insights a few weeks ago. Happy to report that they said I have one of the most engaged memberships they’ve seen!
- Midyear review: working on 2nd half of the year.
- Rolled out the new TRU TRIBE Plus (aka Ladies Training Programs)
- End of Year Review: Just had a meeting with my business coach last week and I’m back on track with this. I’ve made some key decisions for 2023:
- The TRU TRIBE Community will be a closed membership with opportunities to join 2-3x a year when I am doing special launches. The digital course mentioned above is the first one of 2023. I am reviewing my pricing strategy now.
- Get efficient at having a monthly and quarterly Content Calendars for both of my businesses for social media and the online communities. I’m getting better at weekly scheduling. My goal is to have this nailed down by 5/22
- Midyear review: getting better but still not as streamlined as I’d like it to be
- October: will have them help me decide themes and challenges for the 1st half of 2023 at October Mixer
- End of Year Review: I’ve got the TRU TRIBE content down now. As I pivot this year with my new strategy, I will need to work on a social media/newsletter/you tube content calendar to sync it all together.
- Deliver 5 speeches in my Toastmaster club by the end of the year
- Midyear review:
- 1st one completed 4/7: 20-25 minutes Online Webinar. 2nd one scheduled for 7/21
- End of Year Review: Completed 3 speeches. I delivered my last one as a “keynote” speech to a high school class. I shared with them how to take tough lessons in life and turn them into positives.
- Midyear review:
- Copy this blog post and update it monthly
- End of Year Review: been on top of it
- Spend more focused time with family:
- Greg: Monthly Day Date on calendar
- End of Year Review: not as formalized yet. In addition to our morning ritual (meditation, then making coffee together and at least one hug), we added a daily ritual of Wordle, Spelling Bee, Tiles, The Mini and Letter Boxed.
- Mom and Dad: see them at least 1x a week
- End of Year Review:: have been pretty good with this
- Greg: Monthly Day Date on calendar
- Meditate daily
- Since 7/18 (when I started with Insight Timer app), I’ve hit a milestone of 1,000 days with a session in 5/22
- End of Year Review: In the last 12 months I’ve averaged 1.21 sessions per day according to their reporting
- No running goals this year! I am recovering from an injury and have decided this year I need to spend more time on my businesses (I don’t mention that much here but the ChiRunning business takes up a lot of my time too!). I do have an ultimate goal to do the Cocodona 250 but that will be on the 3-5 year plan. This year I’ll focus on strength training and technique (always!) and then I’ll get back to longer distances in 2023. As of 6/5 I’ve kicked off my 8 week training for TRR to get to 50 miles a week.
- Midyear review: on track
- End of Year Review: in late summer I started training for Jackass Night Trail Runs (31k in October) and currently training for Black Canyon 60K (on 2/19, my 52nd birthday) Moab on The Rocks 3-Day Stage race (50 miles on the 1st weekend of March) and Crown King 50K (3/27)
- Strength train/Mobility work at least 2x a week with a stretch goal of 3x (starting 3/1 since I’m writing this on 2/25). Need to schedule on calendar for accountability.
- End of Year Review: Been doing it more but not as consistent as I’d like to be yet
- Started Amy Porterfield’s Digital Course Academy on 9/19/22

2022 Vision Board
My 2022 Vision Board is to the left of me in my office space so I see it constantly.
My phrase of the year is: Embrace My Space. By space I mean: physical, emotional, spiritual, mental…I want to be better about setting boundaries and taking care of me. You can see that a lot of the right side of my vision board is about that. I need to keep working smarter not harder and keep streamlining some of my processes and keep things simple. The top left is about our home space. We’ve been in a one bedroom apartment in Tempe (love the location and we are minimalists so the space works too). Not sure what we will do this year with the economy the way it is but I want to keep a good home space for 2022 which could also mean staying put where we are (I just want my honey to have a good garden space though!). The bottom left is all about my summer plans! I’ll be volunteering at TransRockies (summer camp!) again this year with my besties! Excited to say that we are Dawn Patrol which means taking care of the Back of the Pack group! Last but not least the bottom middle is about spending more time meal planning and cooking. Because of my work load I tend to resort to quick fixes (still mostly healthy ones) but I’d like to make more time for planning and preparing food. Also a good way to spend quality time with Greg 🥰
