how to set and achieve your goals for 2021
New Year’s resolutions are upon us! Fun fact: New Year’s has always been one of my favorite holidays.

celebrate every tiny victory
I am admittedly a little bit of a goal-setting junkie. I love a good project plan and seeing a project come to life as I check each item off the to-do list. Last week, I shared how some objectives (like starting a business) are SO big that breaking them down into smaller, micro goals can allow for a more digestible path forward.
