LUYC 120: My 2019 Annual Review

Author: Janelle Allen: Learning Designer, Online Course Coach, and Entrepreneur January 1, 2020 Duration: 43:05
Hey family! This episode is going to be different because I’m doing it solo. It’s time for the annual review for 2019. I love doing this part because I’m such a nerd in reflection and planning, and this is the time of the year where things slow down and I can get really intentional about what I want to do and also express gratitude. So listen up as I share with you what went well, what didn’t go well, lessons learned, and what I’m focused on for 2020. Enjoy! Episode Quotes "Marketing isn’t a bad word. Marketing is just communicating your value to your audience." "Transformation is not about information; it comes through action" "Doing everything on your own is not the way to grow." "Growth requires investment (money, time, relationships)." "Focus on what you love to do, focus on what you're good at, and collaborate more."
