Do you feel like you might have to throw in the towel on your biggest goals and just change the date on your vision board to 2023. 2022, take two?
Not this year, my friend. Not this year. This will be the year you reach those goals and end your year fist pumping in the air. This will be the year you learn to stretch time so that you not only have time for the things you want to do, but the white space to know the difference. This challenge will help you get out of your own way to make those someday goals 2022 goals with a real plan.
