Work is so stressful, and it doesn't have to be! We're two founders focused on making work better, and we're here to help by answering the toughest work questions that come across our desks.
I don't *love* the culture of goal-setting and how binary and inflexible (and ultimately unattainable) it can be. I'm going to show you how I plan for a new year in my business. I call it Setting the GPS and what I really want to focus on is getting myself pointed in the right direction, and then having flexibility with the roads I take to get there. If you're interested in this kind of planning or just feeling nosy and want to poke into someone else's business goals for 2024, come join me!
