Reflecting on the Past and Planning for the Future
Hey guys, welcome back to the office and happy 2022! It's hard to believe that another year has passed and we find ourselves in a new one. Personally, it still feels like we're stuck in 2020, but time keeps moving forward. As you can see, I may look a little crazy right now because it is freezing in my office. Last week, my husband installed a heater for me, but the room is still quite chilly. But don't worry, I have a plan in place to warm things up in here remotely. However, let's take a moment to reflect on the past couple of weeks and think about the direction we want to take our business moving forward.
Reflecting on 2021
The past few weeks have been quite unusual. Unlike previous years, the Christmas season wasn't as busy for me, and I had some downtime to reevaluate things. It was an opportunity to step back and consider what I wanted to do with my business, as well as my approach to social media. Social media plays a massive role in growing a business nowadays, but I decided to take a step back from it for my own mental well-being. However, I'm aware that this decision may have consequences for my business in the long run. Only time will tell if it was the right choice.
Evaluating the Impact of Social Media on Business
Instagram: A Step Back
One of the platforms I've pulled back from is Instagram. Unless I have something specific to post, I'm not actively engaging with it anymore. In fact, I made the decision to unfollow everyone on Instagram. This way, I can limit my time on the app and reduce distractions. While this change has been beneficial for my mental state, I'm curious to see how it will affect my business in the long run.
TikTok: A Promising Platform
Unlike Instagram, I still recognize the value TikTok brings to my business. Although I haven't been as active on the platform recently, I understand that being engaged on TikTok leads to an increase in orders. Once I get back into the flow of things, I intend to continue utilizing TikTok as a valuable tool for business growth.
YouTube: A Temporary Break
Due to my reduced time in the office, I haven't been able to watch YouTube videos as frequently as before. Additionally, I haven't posted any videos on my channel for a couple of weeks. This is simply because I haven't had much content to record. However, with the start of the new year, I plan on reevaluating some things and implementing changes. Once I get everything set up, I'll share all the exciting updates with you guys.
Re-Evaluating and Making Changes for 2022
Now that the new year is here, it's time to take a step back and reassess our strategies. I've made a list of things I want to change and focus on for the upcoming year. It's crucial to set clear priorities and goals to ensure our business continues to thrive. Let's take a look at the steps involved in this process.
Setting Priorities and Goals
The first task at hand is to identify our priorities and set achievable goals. By having a clear vision of what we want to accomplish, we can outline a roadmap for success. This will not only guide our decision-making but also provide a sense of direction and purpose.
Implementing New Strategies
Once we've established our priorities and goals, it's time to put everything into action. We need to develop and implement new strategies that align with our objectives. This could involve refining our marketing approach, improving customer engagement, or exploring new avenues for growth. Regardless of the specific tactics employed, the goal is to adapt and evolve to meet the needs of our target audience effectively.
Organizational Strategies
An organized workspace leads to increased productivity and efficiency. This year, I am determined to get myself organized, so I can make the most of the time I spend in the office. By establishing effective organizational strategies, we can streamline our processes and ensure that everything runs smoothly.
Working on Cake Toppers
Now that we've covered the planning aspect, let's dive into the creative side of our business. Today's agenda includes making two cake toppers. The first one is a tie-dye design, and the second is a racing-themed topper. I'm excited to showcase these new creations on the channel, as they add variety to our collection. Once they're finished, I'll make sure to share some pictures with you guys.
Transitioning to Valentine's Day Cups
With Christmas festivities behind us, it's time to switch gears and focus on upcoming holidays. My next project involves designing Valentine's Day cups to replace the winter-themed ones at the salon. I plan on creating cups with both light-colored and bright-colored designs, catering to different preferences. Additionally, I'm considering making an anti-Valentine's Day cup for those who prefer a different approach to the holiday. The possibilities are endless, and I can't wait to experiment with different ideas.
Wrapping Up and Thanking Viewers
As the day comes to an end, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to all of you who continue to support me. Your encouragement and engagement mean the world to me, and I'm excited to embark on this new year together. Here's to a year filled with love, health, happiness, and success. Thank you for joining me on this journey, and I look forward to sharing more exciting updates with you soon.
