137 | 2021 Review & 2022 Planning The FITSPRO Podcast

I mentioned the other day on the 'gram that I am a doer. I tend to see gaps, and fill them, need something and create it, have an idea and begin exploring ways to execute said idea. But I was not always like that. Not entirely. Entrepreneurship has taught me this. To act without hesitation and figure it out along the way. But to always entertain the possibility. Because why not? What’s the worst that can happen?







I bring this up because if 2021 was anything, it was a year of trial and error.







I knew that going in, but boy did it play out that way. This 12 month season of trial and error meant less control and predictability than I like in my life, quite frankly.







So, let’s go ahead and get to it.







First off…







In episode 100 I reviewed my 2020 and in episode 101 I shared my personal and business goals for 2021 - If you didn’t listen to those, check them out.







But for a short recap my 2021 goals were:







Personal







* Stop work at 6pm* More consistent lifting* Investing/Retirement* Have house built







Business







* Create PRO cramming course* NO fitsPRO Launches (constant push through free webinar)* BBA goal that I have had since the remake in 2018* Social media and sales strategy refinement







Today, I'm breaking those down and sharing my plans for 2022.







These are going to me mixed rather than personal and then business because this year was one that had life and business affecting one another like never before. Or so it felt.







I am a big advocate of life and business working in tandem. One serves the other. One undoubtedly effects the other. So we must consider both, simultaneously.







Jan 2021 was the launch of my Free Workshop Your Biz Your Way, 3 Steps to Build a Profitable Online Health and Fitness Business. I am proud to say that over 1,000 humans have taken the workshop, and over 100 FitsPRO’s joined FitsPRO Foundations via the workshop.







If you recall - the goal was no live launches of FitsPRO - to simply try the evergreen approach and see how it went. Then make decisions as needed.







Gold star for that one!







On the personal front, gyms were shut down again here and I was very excited that Nate and I made the decision to go ahead and buy a home gym set up. But in Jan we didn’t have it yet.







By February I was finally able to start lifting consistently again. I was weak, and in pain but so joyous at the same time.







Feb and March were extensions of Jan but our living situation was wearing on my productivity and some of the professional and personal goals I had.







I’ve mentioned many times before the blessing it was to live with my mother for 9 months longer than originally planned. But I can’t deny the effect I allowed it to have on my day to day routine, or lack thereof.







More context: In March, I was still waiting to see how my evergreen approach to FitsPRO was going to play out - only time would tell. In addition to this waiting game, we were also waiting on information post filing taxes to see if we qualified for the loan we needed to build on our five acres.







This waiting game with the loan also put my retirement and investment goals on hold for obvious reasons.







I mentioned this on IG but our little 3.
