How to Turn Your Work-Life Worries into Opportunities

This is a good way to start off thinking about your month ahead.

• Strengths from the month prior. What went really well professionally?
• Weakness from last month. What failed?
• Opportunities ahead. What are the trends? What are customers/clients thinking about? Given your strengths, what can you capitalize on?
• Threats in the coming month. This requires you to be a pure realist with a dash of cynicism.

After you’ve outlined your SWOT and have a clear picture, you can start to think about how you’re going to dodge those threats and lean into your strengths tactically.

Moments of self-reflection and time alone are very important. But that doesn’t mean leaning on your independence is the key to peace of mind.

Around 64% of freelancers feel lonely with no support. That’s detrimental to success, creativity, and grit.

Tell people what you want/need and what’s keeping you from getting there. Often, they’ll share an idea, connection, or resource that will help you overcome your most frustrating obstacles
