Diary #4 of a digital nomad and business owner/entrepreneur: 100 lessons and things in 2021
HAPPY NEW YEAR! I feel like it is a little late for all of that, I know. BUT I feel like January is a bit of a write off. I am READY and excited for 2022. This time last year I was very uncertain and confused with what 2021 would look like and this year I feel very very clear.
Business was VERY interesting in 2021 but I learnt so so much (all of it I am continually going to share with you). But for this entry I thought I would celebrate the achievements of 2021 and encourage you do the same (it isn’t too late).
I got inspiration to write 100 things that happened (and lessons from 2021) from Laetitia Andrac. I thought it was DEFINITELY time to share mine!!! I broke it up into different areas of life!
Even if you journal yours, I encourage you to do the same!
You can see this REEL as a great highlight too!
