Reflecting on 2022: A Year in Review

2022 is now a time of the past and it’s time to see how it went.

I’m a big fan of new years assessment of how the year has turned out.

Whether it has been full of steps toward your personal and professional goals,

and of course, seeing where there is room for improvement.

Were the 2022 goals met?

Meditate 5 min pr. day Haven’t managed to get into this habit yet

2022 has been an eventful year with a move of the tiny house over 200 km, the purchase of a ‘big’ house with a lot of grounds to start a self-sufficient garden in 2023, the start of a new job as part of a steady income stream in my company, and a bigger focus on growing my own portfolio of clients.

The biggest difference in this year has been the move.

We managed to get away from a very negative work environment and surroundings where none of the employees were respected and paid based on their qualifications.

Funny enough in harder situations like the one we’ve been in in the past 2 years you also happen to make the best friends which we are very glad we’ve met and will continue to keep in touch with.

I’m very glad to see that we can make important and big decisions when it’s needed and we don’t end up stuck in an environment that is heavily impacted by negativity and wrongdoings from a leadership perspective.

Already after six months in the new location, we can feel a huge difference in our well-being and peace of mind.

New ideas are flowing and we can see ourselves being here for many years to come!

Managed to rank very very very well for a keyword last year which has continued in 2022 and is still the most-read page on the site.

Which is great to see!

I’ll be optimizing more posts for next year as it only makes sense to write posts that people are looking for answers to or inspiration about, I feel.

We’ll see how it goes.
