“With the intention to scale at what you’re good at, it is advisable reduce and develop the muscle you want, so you’ll be able to scale at what you’re good at” – Fredrik Wikholm
Listening to these phrases of knowledge from my good friend Fredrik, my focus phrase for 2022 instantly materialized in my thoughts.
2021 introduced with it plenty of private {and professional} rising pains, and that was as a result of I used to be in the course of transitioning to the subsequent stage of my profession.
Like an animal shedding pores and skin as a result of it doesn’t match anymore or it’s worn out, I used to be evolving in 2021.
This meant most of the issues I’d executed as much as that time have been not enough for my turning into and the enlargement I used to be going by way of.
So, when Fredrik dropped these phrases of their simplicity, I instinctively knew what wanted to be executed.
My focus phrase is… STRUCTURE
I have to carry much more construction into my life than I have already got. Strengthening the muscle and groups behind the work as a result of I’m including one other degree.
I already began the method of scaling again a pair initiatives final 12 months. For instance, I put Sluggish Journey Stockholm on an editorial hiatus till I’ve the bandwidth to relaunch it or discover an equally passionate new proprietor handy it over to.
I considerably scaled again one-off freelancing until it’s a model, subject material, or marketing campaign I’m utterly keen about or completely wish to be concerned with.
I additionally expanded my core and prolonged crew by two extra individuals, and plan on rising my varied groups much more this 12 months. I’ll proceed creating the muscle tissues behind Native Purse, Geotraveler Media, and Geotraveler Academy.
Past scaling again on initiatives, initiatives, and private relationships that not contribute to my progress as an individual, I might be carving tighter boundaries, and dare I say it, instituting unflappable routines into my life. There could be much more cooking in silence behind the scenes, and serving publicly as soon as totally cooked.
Construction for me in 2022 will put on plenty of faces.
Will probably be so simple as organizing conferences for Wednesdays & Thursdays solely to spice up productiveness, reclaiming my complete weekends for household time, waking up earlier for my morning routines, going to mattress earlier for self-care, saying no extra typically than I’d like, and every day routines that embrace some train and at the least one interest.
It might not be the sexiest focus phrase I’ve picked so far, nevertheless it certain is the one I would like proper now at this stage of my life.
And for an ENFP-A Campaigner persona kind which is the antithesis of construction and routine… God assist me.
