{Q3} time to pause, reflect & celebrate

Darlene Hawley

It's important to pause, reflect, and celebrate all that has happened around us as we grow our business.

Hello Q3! WOW ...This year is flying by.

I treat the beginning of each quarter just like I do the beginning of each year.

It's important to pause, reflect, and celebrate all that has happened around us.

And it's been a lot.

From starting the year off with the new year excitement
 ... hosting my 2nd annual virtual summit
... launching my podcast
... then a world-wide pandemic
... home-schooling my kids while running a business
... taking a stand with our Black community and being a co-conspirator to create change

Take a minute and think about what your year has been like.

You might feel like you've been at Disneyland on Mr. Toads Wild Ride.

I wanted to hop in and share some of the questions I use with my clients as they map out their Q3.
  • What did you enjoy most about your business in Q1/Q2?
  • What progress did I make?
  • What was my greatest success?
  • What was my greatest struggle?
  • What felt really easy?
  • What felt really hard?
  • What feels broken or messy?
  • What projects did you enjoy creating?
  • What do you never want to do again?
  • Was there anything you wanted to accomplish but didn't get done?
  • What systems do you need to change or fix in your business?
  • What was your biggest money-maker?
  • What made you the least money?
  • Did you lose money in any area?
  • How much did your email list grow this year?
  • What activities brought in the most leads?
  • How much money did you gross?
  • What were your total expenses?
  • What can you celebrate? (pop that champagne cork)
So I'm curious, what's your number one goal in Q3? Comment below and let me know.
