Episode 121: Lessons Learned in 2022

Hey Listener- can you believe we reached the final episode of the year? It's a solocast after a fall chock full of interviews with amazing female guests. I hope you enjoyed the interviews as much as I have! I hope you enjoy this episode too. I'm recapping the year: The wins, the challenges, and proposals for a new metric to evaluate our year… In ways OTHER than wins and challenges. The Wins

I checked a big item off my 100 goals list: I bought a building! When I first started MKM I knew my mission was to highlight small towns and give businesses a voice. This milestone was a way to "put my money where my mouth is" and invest in my small town. (Link to the episode about the building)
I became a six figure business owner! There's a big difference between revenue and profitability, but this is still a huge win and personal goal of mine.
I redefined the brand and focused in on my why (Link to Mariah Danielson episode).
"Some Years give you questions. Other years give you answers." Zora Neale Hurston
I took a master class with Melanie Ann Layer and adopted some practices like slow mornings and taking time to enjoy the flexibility I built into my business.

Challenges

Keeping my vision was a challenge and I really struggled with big existensial questions this year.
I only had two hair cut/color appointments this year. Ha! My hair isn't important here, it's that I hustled too hard much of the time and lost sight time for my self, friends, and family.
Profitability was a challenge. Inflation kicked everyone's butt this year, and it, among other things, was hard on my business too.

Things contributing to growth

I worked on developing my leadership skills
I looked for places where I can be proactive instead of "living my life as a response"
I embraced my status as a "teenager business" after my VIP intensive with Sheila Hansen.

New metrics for reflecting on our year

When did I feel stupid happy?
When did I feel at peace?
When did I fulfill my calling (or, when did I think, "Holy shit, this is why I do what I do")
What was a moment of clarity?
A moment you knew you needed to change something?
A moment you realized time is fleeting?
A moment you realized you are in charge of yourself?
A moment you realized just how frickin' lucky you are?
A great book?
A great movie? (Or Netflix series, shout out to Bridgerton!)
A great friendship started this year?
A project you finished and were so proud of?
Best and worst purchases?
Best and worst courses?
Big mistakes made?
Big moves made?
Best workout?
That big brave thing you thought you wouldn't do?

We made it! I hope you find peace and rest this holiday season and wish you a very happy new year! Follow for More Follow me, Molly Knuth on Instagram and Facebook. Or follow Molly Knuth Media on Facebook and Instagram.
