I love the energy at the end of the year. I love looking at where I was back in January and what happened since then. I love celebrating what I accomplished, shifted and had the courage to leave behind.

This year, I’ve really been keeping track of my goals and dreams. It all started with Leonie Dawson’s Amazing Life Workbooks – she asked me such detailed questions in there, so my goals for 2014 were really clear. Now, I lost my list of goals for a few months, but found them again and see that I accomplished most of them. I feel that this success is due to 3 things:

1. I wrote my goals down. My process really boils down to writing stuff down. Leonie’s workbooks are the best way of doing this that I have found so far, but obviously there are loads of tools out there. Find one that works for you. And use it.
2. I got a support group going. A few close friends and I now meet at the start of every month to look at what we accomplished in the previous month and to plan for the month ahead. We don’t always make huge strides, but the process is so powerful anyway. It gives us accountability, brainstorming help, support and the company of other women building their best lives. It’s an awesome energy.
3. I invested in myself. See my list of the women who changed my life below.

The inspiring women who changed my life

♥ My amazing ‘planning party’ friends ♥

You know who you are, ladies, and you are all awesome. I feel incredibly grateful to have you in my life. 🙂

♥ Leonie Dawson ♥

I keep talking about Leonie’s workbooks, so I won’t go into more details here. I’ll just say that if I had to choose one single tool that has helped me turn my life around, it is them. Plus, Leonie has built this amazing, super-supportive community of women working away at realizing their dreams, I can’t imagine a better online space (except possibly my own).

♥ Karina Ladet ♥

I first met Karina when I bought an intuitive reading from her and loved her instantly. She is an amazing, warm, loving person and that shows in absolutely everything she does. I start every month with an intuitive session with her, centred around my business. Her insight is incredible and working with her ensures that I stay connected with my soul purpose and don’t get bogged down in just doing stuff. Karina’s main work is to help people connect to their spirit guides, and her Spirit Guide Kit is incredible. I’d get the version with a session with Karina included if I were you, to see for yourself that she will change your life.

♥ Jo Gifford ♥

Jo is the person to go to for anything related to social media, productivity hacks, and blogging. Just an hour with her will give you absolutely incredible value – and a whole list of actionable steps you can make right away. I’ve worked with her one-on-one, and I’ve also gone through her Blogging for Business Bootcamp, which is THE course to do if you want to learn how to get your blog to work for you.

♥ Tanya Arler ♥

Tanya is one of the most motivational people I know. Which is good because she is also a motivational speaker, so lots of people can benefit from her awesome-ness. 🙂 She is my mastermind buddy and friend, and one of the most intuitive people I know. She does lots of things, including running Find Your Path. She’s currently living in Stockholm – she does loads of cool stuff there so make sure you get in touch with her if you’re there too!

♥ Rebecca Tracey ♥

Working with Becca is what made my business turn really pro. Her Hey, Nice Package is the best course I have ever seen on how to create packages that sell. Before working with her, everything I did felt random and disconnected. After a month of Uncage Your Business (which I did at the same time as working through Hey, Nice Package), I understood how all the parts of my work fit together and how to describe that to the rest of the world. Awesome stuff.

♥ Isabelle Rizo ♥

If you’re running a business and need help, Isabelle is your girl. She’s been my VA (virtual assistant) for 3 months now and I absolutely adore her. It seriously seems that she can do anything. She knows about marketing, sales, web stuff, graphic design, I can pretty much ask her anything and she will always either be able to do it herself or will know where I need to go. I wouldn’t be able to work without her! Isabelle also runs The Bella Vie, an awesome blog about travel, education and loads of other stuff.

How have these lovely women changed my life?

Well, I started 2014 thinking that I’d like to figure out how to offer online courses and wondering how to turn what I love into a business. I’m ending the year with  regular income, regular clients and the knowledge that my dream are not only possible, but will most probably come true really soon. My year has been awesome and I am SUPER grateful to have had these lovely ladies in my life.

Who has made YOUR year awesome?
