Accomplishments in 2020 with My Business Journey

I said to myself, in order to showcase your accomplishments Sheri, you need to start somewhere!!  And since we are ending the year 2020, I had decided to start reflecting on the accomplishments in 2020 with My Business Journey. Specifically, I compared this year verses last year in 2019. I thought, hey, it’s a great way to analyze all that I have completed and not completed. Furthermore, it helps me plan for the objectives I would like to achieve in order to grow.  My goal with reflecting is to take this information and see what I can improve upon for the upcoming year.

What is the meaning of accomplishment?

How do I know what my accomplishments in 2020 are with my business journey if I don’t know first what the word accomplishment means? I decided to look up the word accomplishment from the online dictionary. It says that an accomplishment is something that has been achieved successfully. It also says that it is the successful achievement of a task or planned objectives. Next, it says that an accomplishment is an activity that a person can do well, typically as a result of study or practice.

What are some examples of personal accomplishments?

As I continued to research the meaning of accomplishments, I learned that some examples of personal achievements can include charitable work, entrepreneurial success, establishing good health, financial stability and obtaining a college degree. Again, these are just examples to help you recognized your own personal achievements as we move forward into 2021.

How can you showcase your accomplishments best?

You can best show your accomplishments in 4 ways. In the video below, I actually tried to apply and showcase my accomplishments by mapping it out, pointing to the goals, keeping it simple and showing room for growth. The key word here is apply. Take what you have accomplished in the past year or years and apply the knowledge and lessons you have learned as you move forward into the upcoming year and future.

  1. Map it out.
  2. Point to goals.
  3. Keep it simple.
  4. Show room for growth.

Reflecting on the year 2020

Recently on Sheri’s Dream Catcher’s Instagram Sip N Think Live Chat held on December 30th, 2020, our topic of discussion was reflecting on the year 2020. First we looked at our comfort zone, where the magic happens and the space between the two. Next we looked at the meaning of 2020. Specifically, is it 2020 vision or in other words equal vision? What do you think?

  5. George Floyd was brutally killed by a police officer which ignited riots and protests around the world bringing the racism and police brutality to light even more than ever before in history.
  6. Murder Hornets were discovered flying around us in the state of Washington
  7. Desert Locusts, the worlds most devastating pests were swarming in large numbers in Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, Somalia, Eritrea, India, Pakistan, Iran, Yemen, Oman and Saudi Arabia.
  8. Presidential Election 2020: Trump vs. Biden or was it Blue vs. Red?
  9. Wild Weather where in 141 years of climate records, we only had 3 states-Alaska, Hawaii and North Dakota-that weren’t apart of the billion-dollar weather disaster. Record Breaking 30 named storms during the Hurricane Season where meteorologists had to use letters from the Greek Alphabet to identify storms because they were running out of prepared names.
  10. The Great Conjunction between 2 planets: Jupitar and Saturn. They say this great phenomena, Bethlehem Star or Christmas Star happened for the first time in 800 years. So on December 21, 2020 about 45 minutes after sunset, Jupitar and Saturn appeared just one-tenth of a degree apart, according to NASA.

A Dream You Want To Achieve In The Future

A dream you want to achieve in the future begins with the process of writing your own thoughts and ideas down onto a piece of paper. For instance, have you ever heard someone say “keep a journal next to your bed”? Well, I have plenty of times. What’s the reasoning behind it? Well, they say that if you journal about your dreams, you are more likely to turn those thoughts and ideas into a reality. Remember a dream is just a dream until you’ve given commitment to the vision you created in your mind. The execution of that dream becomes a goal to achieve once you put a date to it.

A dream to achieve
A Dream You Want to Achieve

Why Must We Create A Dream Plan?

For starters, you do not have to do anything. As a result of doing nothing, it means you have achieved nothing. Am I correct? As a matter of fact, most of the time I tend to use my vision to focus on the dreams I’ve envisioned for myself to achieve. By the same token, to continue to move forward with my dream process, I tend to ask myself questions. For example, “How am I going to achieve my dream?”

Evaluation of the current situation

  • Where am I at now?
  • Where do I see myself in anther 1, 3 or 5 years from now?
  • What resources do I have available to me now?
  • What can I do on my own?
  • What do I need assistance with?
  • Who can I learn from?
  • Who can I rely on?
  • How will I take my first step?

Research, Research, Research!!!

Indeed, you have started the process of your dream foundation. Another way to look at your foundation is to think of it as creating building blocks that will formulate your plan which is connected to your goal that links to the dream you want to achieve.

A dream to achieve
What are you thoughts and Ideas?

A Plan is only a plan similar to a dream is only a dream.

In order for the dream to materialize we must put forth “Action“. For instance, sitting in a dark room visualizing our dreams is only going to produce the visualizing. Not only is “Execution” vital to achieving our dreams but “Action” also is a key component to activating our dreams into a reality. For example, a football team doesn’t win by standing on the field waiting for the referee to scream touch down. Likewise, a basketball player doesn’t stand on the court holding the ball in his hands saying “did you see that shot I didn’t take”?

A dream to achieve
Create Your Own Vision with a Vision Board

Always Try. If at first I don’t succeed, try, try again.

For this reason, I believe it is imperative to at least Try. As a consequence to our actions, it will either make or break us. Such as, not taking action will leave us at square one, just visualizing. The choice is yours really. You take the direction that is best for you, as it should be.
