Halfway Through 2018: 6 Tips to Help You Finish the Year Strong

June 29, 2018 by Danyelle Little

We are at the halfway mark for 2018. I've got some tips to help you finish the year strong, things that you can implement now so you conquer your goals.

Six months behind us—six months more to go.

You started 2018 strong and bold. You made a list of goals. You strategized. You planned. Things were going well and you were starting to make some headway. And then, as the year started moving into March and April and then May, you fell off. It’s easy to do, as creating habits and a consistent plan for your goals is hard for most to achieve. And now that we are about halfway through 2018, you aren’t where you want to be.

But the good thing about all of this is that you have the opportunity to shift and pivot and self correct. And you still have six months to finish the year on a good note and with your goals and achievements mission accomplished. I am sharing six tips to help you finish the year strong, and they are tips that I am also following to make sure that 2018 is the best year yet.

#1 Follow your own plan, not someone else’s

It can be easy to get caught up in what other people are doing. But while they are moving closer to their purpose, you remain stagnant. Here’s the deal: you can’t follow someone else’s blueprint, you have to create your own. The recipes to your secret sauce are authentic to you, your experiences, and your offerings. So go forward knowledgeable about trends and what’s going on in the space around you, but don’t copy it. You are a unique and talented individual who should be sharing your gifts with the world. Don’t look to others to chart your course—look to yourself.

Welp. 2016, It’s Been Real.

December 19, 2016 by Danyelle Little

During these last few weeks of 2016, I’ve been recapping, reviewing, and rewinding. Before we can plan to chart new progress and new goals for the upcoming year, we have to be retrospective. For me, 2016 was a watershed year. Relentless in the good and the bad, a reminder of what is at stake, and a contender for one of the most “interesting” years personally. Business-wise, things were okay. I continued strong monetary streams, created new products and services, launched a growing podcast, and started a new media imprint (which you will hear about soon). I feel like I accomplished some goals, but didn’t go as hard in the paint as I could’ve.

It was hard to concentrate.

The Art of the Hustle.

March 30, 2016 by Danyelle Little

The Cubicle Chick STLWhat you are most consistent with (and not) tells a lot about the person that you are, and the results that you get.

I’ve gone on record many times by saying I am an accidental entrepreneur. I was thrust into running my own business after I lost my steady paycheck due to budget cuts at my old job. After trying for months to become re-employed during the recession, I threw my hands in the air and began to focus on my “little blog that could”. Would I be able to make this hobby a jobby and turn my misfortunes around?

Fast forward to 2016 and I think we have the answer.

But no matter how “successful” I am or how much money I make, the hustle is always on my mind.

  • How can I create more streams of income?
  • How I can redefine and clarify my message so that it resonates with others?
  • How can I better serve my audience and readership?
  • How can I be a steward to help pay it forward?
  • How can I accomplish every goal that I set out to crush?

I get asked all of the time about how I do what I do and make money. I give the answers and very clear cut and concise directions, steps, and procedures to friends, colleagues, and paid consults. But if the hustle mentality isn’t on overdrive, the results may not be what mine have been.

1st Quarter Check Up: How I’m Doing on my Goals

March 17, 2016 by Danyelle Little

The-Cubicle-ChickOn January 1st, I took to the task of writing my goals for the upcoming year and shared them on my website. Doing so was a way for me to stay accountable to my goals—for putting them out there on my platform would be one way of making sure that I stayed on track. Now that we are almost three full months into the year, I wanted to be totally transparent and let you guys know how I’ve been doing thus far.

Personally I can say that there have been a few challenges this year. Nothing that isn’t insurmountable, but definitely not expected or planned. I can tell you that over the years, I’ve relied on my ability to be resilient and pivot when needed, and these challenges called for that. Even as a Work Life Management advocate, I too, have problems with sticking to boundaries that are super important in relationships, both professionally and personally—let’s just say in this area, I am still a work in progress.

Now, as far as my goals, I am attacking them with fortitude and vigor. To recap what I shared on 1/1/16, I am copying and pasting the goals that I listed below:

  • Hangouts and chats focused on working parent topics and entrepreneurial subjects
  • An e-Course
  • Two in-person conference and/or workshop events (one in my city and one in another location)
  • Two books (yes, two FULL books)
  • A skillfully produced video series
  • More branded products/eStore
  • At least 3 high-profile speaking engagements
  • At least 3 high-profile TV appearances on major networks
  • Podcast (yes, I want to return back to podcasting in 2016)

So far during the first quarter, I’ve done the following: (read the rest after the break)
