My Journey and New Year's Resolutions
This year brought a small shift in my business journey – and I’m glad it did. I spent the first half of the year building my website, during which I learned a lot of new things. At the same time, I developed an online course on how to become the best Airbnb host. I poured a huge amount of knowledge, experience, and – I admit – too much time into it.
While educating short-term rental hosts, I noticed one significant thing: many people want to acquire skills in online programs and techniques for an additional or main income. Abroad, this is already standard, but here we’re often too hesitant. That’s why my first New Year's resolution is: to help everyone who wants to acquire these skills.
First, a big thank you to all of you who responded so positively to the Canva mini course for beginners. 💝 Following that, I promise that an advanced course will soon be available. I also plan to expand the educational program with courses on online media, advertising, tools you need to kickstart your ideas, and even suggestions for what you can sell online. Do you like the idea? Of course, I’d love to hear your suggestions – let me know what you need, and it’ll make everything so much easier.
Now, let’s dive into some ideas to make the coming year even better!
What Can You Expect?
YouTube Channel and Blog Posts: I’ll be regularly sharing useful information, tips, and ideas to help you take your first steps.
Online Workshops: I’m preparing workshops that will help you bring your ideas to life and turn them into real opportunities for earning.
A big thank you to everyone who enthusiastically joined my Canva mini-course for beginners. This has motivated me to plan an advanced course that will go even deeper. In addition, I’m developing an educational program that will cover:
Basics of online advertising and media.
Steps for successfully launching your ideas.
Tools and programs that simplify work and deliver results.
Ideas for products and services you can market online.
Tell Me What You Need!
I want my program to truly meet your needs. That’s why I’d love to hear your suggestions! Let me know what you need, and together we’ll create content that genuinely helps you.
Let 2025 be your springboard into a successful future – and I’ll be here to support you every step of the way.
Reflect on the Past Year:
Let’s take a moment to walk down memory lane and revisit the past year. What were the most beautiful moments that warmed your heart? And what about the less pleasant ones?
Positive experiences are our motivation, while challenges and mistakes teach us valuable lessons for the future. Every step has contributed to our personal and professional growth – and it’s all part of the journey forward!
Set Your Winning Goals:
Having reflected on the past, it's time to focus on the future. What are your aspirations for 2025? Whether it's securing your ideal job, completing a marathon, or launching your first digital product, establish specific goals that will inspire and direct you on your journey.
Organize Your Life!
Being organized is essential for achieving success. Dedicate some time to declutter your physical space, streamline your digital life, and establish systems that will help you stay focused.
Consider making a planner or calendar your go-to tool for managing appointments, deadlines, and objectives. Believe me, it can truly transform your life!
Prioritize Your Well-Being:
Prioritizing your health and happiness is essential. Ensure that you maintain a nutritious diet, stay physically active, and get adequate rest.
It's also important to set aside time for yourself, engaging in relaxing activities such as reading, meditating, or watching your favorite Netflix show – or even better, diving into a good book. Right now, I’m enjoying "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill.
Continue Your Growth and Education:
Life revolves around personal development and self-improvement. Maintain a sense of curiosity and remain receptive to new concepts, and always embrace opportunities for learning.
Whether it's enrolling in a class, exploring a new hobby, or pursuing novel experiences, continually challenge yourself beyond your comfort zone. That's where the real transformation occurs!
Embrace Gratitude:
Adopting a mindset of gratitude has enabled me to navigate numerous challenges.
Take a moment each day to reflect on your blessings and savor the small joys in life. Consider starting a gratitude journal—maybe even a charming one? You can find a variety of planners online that inspire new ideas.
A positive outlook can truly make a difference, so spread those good vibes wherever you go! I even participated in a course on this subject with Amy Lin, and surprisingly, it transformed my life!
By the way, feel free to email me at hello@by-firefly.com to share something uplifting or simply to say hi, and I’ll send you a planner as a gift for 2025!
Adapt and Overcome Challenges
Life is full of surprises, making it essential to remain adaptable and receptive to change. When situations don’t unfold as anticipated (which is often the case), maintain your composure and look for the positives. Welcome the unforeseen and press on with resolve.
There you go! You've got a comprehensive guide to get ready for 2025 and turn it into your best year ever.
Take time to reflect on the past, establish clear goals, organize your life, prioritize self-care, continue to grow and learn, cultivate gratitude, and welcome unforeseen challenges. With some dedication and passion, there’s nothing you can’t achieve. Let’s make it happen together! I'm here to support you every step of the way!
