Last year I started the post like this: 

“Exactly one year ago I wrote a post about 3 words that would matter to me in 2022: Structure, leadership, and growth. And while 2022 started a bit on the “meh” side, the end of 2022 was simply amazing. And I am looking forward to going into 2023 with a great love life and a business geared for growth.”

Well. Things went sideways pretty fast. 😱
2023 for the most part is something highly forgettable. 

Last year’s words were: Rituals, Execute, and Present. Rituals were about habits that should be built. Execution to make things happen, and Present about enjoying the moment and not always having my mind somewhere else. 

As both personal and business life took turns unexpectedly rather quick into 2023, it is not an understatement to say that 2023 was a bit of a mess. Both personal and professional. 

When that is said.
2023 does not exsist. 
I have erased it. 
Forgotten it. 
I put it in a box and closed the lid. 

Now I am ready for 2024! 🥳 💪
And here are my words for 2024!

Evolution

It could have been REvolution. But Evolution is great. 1% better. Every day. Both personal and professional. That is my evolution. Learning, improving and always looking at “What could I have done better here?” and “What did I learn from this?”

Grit

I love the term get shit done. And while I have never really been afraid of putting in the extra hours, I want 2024 to be coined as the year of grit. I want to be damn proud at the end of the year, saying that I did hit my goals. I did achieve what I set out to achieve. 

The definition of Grit: In psychology, grit is a positive, non-cognitive trait based on a person’s perseverance of effort combined with their passion for a particular long-term goal or end state. This perseverance of effort helps people overcome obstacles or challenges to accomplishment and drives people to achieve.

Focus

To be able to deliver on the evolution promise and to get shit done, I need to have a much better focus. It is about prioritizing what is needed to get the right things done and delivered.
