It feels like we’ve just celebrated the New Year with friends in Toronto, and suddenly — it’s February!

Time is flying.

Have you set any bold and exciting goals for 2025?

I sure have.

Planning for the year ahead is one of my favorite things to do over the holidays.

I took time to reflect on my business — reviewing client projects, brand collaborations, website performance, newsletter growth, and ebook sales — to figure out my next steps.

And honestly?

Scaling up while maintaining high-quality work, meeting client expectations, and still making time for my own projects is tough.

But I’m committed to growing my online business in a way that’s efficient, profitable, and — most importantly — hassle-free.

Last year, I spent six months closing a single deal after multiple proposals and meetings. That was my wake-up call.

If I want to keep my business lean and profitable, I need to use my time wisely.

So, my motto for 2025?

Less hassle, less effort, more output.
