I don’t know about you but for me January was a bit of a write off.


You see, I usually love the start of a new year. I’m a planner and making plans for the year ahead both personally and professionally gets me excited. But if I'm being totally honest, January just felt like an extension of 2020 and not a fresh start at all. But now I’ve had a month to settle into a my new routine and been able to nail down those SMART goals for this year, I’m feeling much brighter and excited for the year ahead. Whilst making plans at the start of a new year is great, you don’t need to wait for a new year to make plans. You can start any time of the year. In fact, you can start right now. So if you’re already feeling behind because January was a write off for you too, I’m here to tell you that you’re not behind, nor are you alone- you're right on time.



Here are my tips to help you get that fresh start feeling, no matter the time of year:


👉🏾 Have a good clean up

Clean up your desk, your computer files, the notes app on your phone. Get rid of things you no longer need. You’ll instantly feel better.


👉🏾 Do a review of your brand

Assess what did and didn’t work and use this information to bring into your new plans. Don’t view what didn’t work as a negative. Turn it into a positive and use this information to make changes this year.


👉🏾Master your mindset

Mindset is the most important part of your brand. You can have all the plans and strategy in the world but if you don’t have a positive mindset, then the plans aren’t likely to come to fruition. Training yourself to use positive instead of negative language and visualising the future you, can help massively.


👉🏾 Set goals and make plans

I love this part. Setting goals is a great way to see what you want to achieve both in your personal life and your business. But simply writing down your goals isn’t enough. You need to keep them at the forefront of your mind, make a plan to achieve your goals and then actually put your plan into action.


It's never too late to start your year, so be sure to give it your best shot!
