I find that setting a few\u00a0solid goals at the start of every year really helps me to get focused and ready to hustle hard for the year ahead.<\/p>\n<p>I also like to set a word for the year (<em>I only started this\u00a0<\/em><em>as of last year<\/em>). I decided that 2016 was going to be my year of <strong>focus. <\/strong>It went really well. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prettygreentea.com\/2016\/09\/closed-shop-indiecana\">I closed my shop<\/a> and directed my attention towards Prettygreentea and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dairyfreedaisy.com\">Dairy Free Daisy<\/a>. I&#8217;m really happy with the direction I&#8217;m now taking my business and I&#8217;m so pleased that I managed to find focus throughout 2016.<\/p>\n<p>My word for 2017 is\u00a0<strong>patience.\u00a0<\/strong>Anything worth doing takes time. It takes hard work\u00a0<em>and\u00a0<\/em>time. To be able to reach your goals (<em>whatever they may be)<\/em>\u00a0you need to have patience.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><strong>Meet\u00a0more\u00a0creative people &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong>I&#8217;ll be doing this by\u00a0taking courses, joining a photography society, joining\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.meetup.com\">MeetUp<\/a>, utilising\u00a0my co-working space and hopefully, collaborating with people.<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Create more &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong>I want to start by making the most out of the tools I have. I&#8217;m lucky to have a variety of cameras, lighting and a full Adobe suite so there&#8217;s really no excuse. I want to continue to learn as much as I can about photography, film and editing. I&#8217;m also open to trying out new ways to create content &#8211; After Effects has been on my list for a while so I hope to find the time to learn that this year. I mostly\u00a0want to crave out my own style in photography and film.<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Optimise my health &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong>My aim is to get to the gym 5 times throughout the week. If I take a pilates class\u00a0or go running in the park I don&#8217;t mind if I miss a gym day. However the first couple of months will be to focus on cardio for weight loss. I&#8217;m ready to get \u00a0fit and healthy during 2017 and ensure that it becomes part of my lifestyle. I&#8217;ll meal plan to ensure I&#8217;m eating well. I know, it sounds boring but it really does make a big difference and it also saves on time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>Wha<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>t are your goals for 2017?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the start of every\u00a0year I like to share a few\u00a0of my goals \u00a0and how I hope to achieve them.
