2020 is almost over, CAN I GET AN AMEN?! The election is done, there’s an end in site for the global health crisis of covid-19, and I’m here for it-how about you?
Tony Robbins once said “Success leave clues.” and the idea of finding patterns that I can replicate to compound my success is something I absolutely LOVE to do on a regular basis.
At the end of a year, I love to dive a little deeper and look for success patterns from a bird’s eye view. I always get some really huge aha moments and it fuels my desire for a fresh start for the new year.

I'll be sharing my biggest lessons of 2020 in future post, but for now, I want to share the exact things I look at to close out my year. I believe personality plays a huge role in business process, so for context, I run a coaching practice and I am an enneagram type 2, and a Human Design 5/1 Reflector.
Step 1 | How do I feel about my year?
I personally believe we each have our own way to get the business and life we want-and it starts with us feeling good and trusting ourselves. I look back on my year and ask myself how I generally feel about my year-successful? bummed? Frustrated? excited? What is the general feeling?
I may dive deeper here if I feel like it would be helpful-the most important thing for me as a reflector is not to pressure myself. Here are some questions I ask myself when I want to dive deeper here:
A simple SWOT test-my strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats
What worked? what didn’t? what do I want to try again…but differently?
When did I feel most aligned this year? What was I doing?
When did I feel least aligned this year? What was I doing?
When did I feel in flow and magnetic? What was I doing and how was I feeling?
When did I trust myself most confidently?
When did I not trust myself? What triggered my distrust?

Step 2 | What trends do I see in my numbers?
This one changes from year to year-I often nerd out about numbers and make all kinds of charts and spreadsheets. I look for patterns to income spikes or dips, what converted well, what fell flat, and what is a profitable use of my time and expertise moving forward.
This year, however, I've grown a ton in regular maintenance of my metrics, regularly and looking for and adjusting patterns month by month. So for my yearly recap, I'm not feeling like doing much here and that is a great sign for me!
Step 3 | what are my biggest lessons for this year?
Then, I often look back through my google calendar, and reflect on what I learned throughout the year. Often, seeing the calendar events can trigger the lessons I was learning at that time.
bonus tip: Honestly-using google calendar is a really great way to create powerful, honest content too-let me know if you ever try this!
This year has been one huge set of growth opportunities and I've learned SO much. I was just free-writing about all I've learned and when I was done, realized that my lessons are so good and may be really empowering to you, so I am going to share my biggest 2020 lessons in future posts. I hope they encourage and inspire you.
