I’m going to be honest with you – 2023 was rough. Between the loss of my mom, income dips, legal issues, and slower business months, it’s been hard. But you know what? I focused on what I could control, and I took the time to rest and grieve. At the end of the day, reaching goals is important, but it’s not everything.
And in some seasons of life, not focusing on the outcome of goals is what’s required. That is what I experienced this year, and it hasn’t been easy. I always focused on goals, and they were my top priority. After months of spending time with my dying mother, I learned firsthand that goals are not always the top priority. Thank goodness things were slow, so my focus could be where it needed to be!
In usual CGS fashion, I want to share with you the progress we made on the goals we set at the beginning of the year. Not going to lie, we didn’t hit many of them, but that’s okay. There’s room to improve in 2024!
