Her Renewed Strength Podcast | Episode 111

Do you want clarity around commitments, goals, and priorities in 2023?

In 2022, I took steps that helped my company achieve massive clarity around commitments, goals, and priorities. It led to levels of progress and productivity I had never experienced in almost four years of owning a formal business. I committed to doing this every year, and guess what!? I was able to have that time this past weekend.

Today, I walk you through what I did – a REFLECTION WORKSHOP! I have questions for you to sit on and work through. These will help you reflect on 2022, assess what happened, and prepare for a more successful 2023.

Check out these episode highlights:

02:44 – Getting out of the business and looking at it from a different perspective

Every year, I would take myself out of the business for a couple of days and look at everything from a more removed perspective. It is a time to be with the Lord, look at things for what they were, get clear on where the Lord is leading me, and map out a clear plan of action for the things I was saying yes to.

It is important to know that you cannot set goals that will lead you to do what God is asking you to do unless you seek Him first. So seek Him every day.

04:50 – How I apply the ARC Method to my business and in my personal life

06:20 – What the Reflection Exercise is, and how it helps

Reflection Exercise challenges you to look at every corner of your life and determine what needs to stay and what needs to go. It helps you…

• get clear on what worked and what didn’t

• get super productive going forward

• be a better steward of resources, including the limited resource that is time

07:09 – The importance of knowing what to focus

Questions to Help You Do the Reflection Exercise

08:13 – Question #1: Am I doing what I want to do?

10:38 – Question #2: Is what I want to do aligned with what the Lord has shown me He wants me to do?

10:45 – Question #3: Are things going well? What are the metrics I use to determine if things are going well?

11:15 – Question #4: What can I improve? Is it my budget? Is it my communication? Is it my relationships?

11:40 – Question #5: Where did I want things to go in each area of my life this year?

12:12 – Question #6: What were the best things that happened? How can I do more of these things?

Question #7: What were the worst things that happened? How can I prevent more bad things from happening?

Always pause and worship God. Thank Him in every situation.

13:15 – Questions with respect to relationships

Question #8: Who were the people you were in a relationship with this year? What were the best and worst relationships?

14:59 – Question #9: What is your communication style? How did you adjust or not adjust it this year? Where could you improve in that sense?

15:14 – Questions about serving others

• Who were the people you serve?

• Where did you serve them?

• How did you serve them?

• Did you get a return on investment in your service, time, and love? What did that look like?

• How does the return on investment encourage you to be open to serving others in the future?

Looking back at this year, a lot of it is relationship-based. Why? It is because we are relational beings. We are creatures who are in a relationship. For some, it is a relationship with the Lord than with others.

16:29 – How in 2023 can you use this information to set the proper goals to serve in a more meaningful way

17:17 – Pause and ask God to reveal to you every day how He wants you to show up in 2023

• What does serving Him look like?

• How does He want you to serve?

• Who does He want you to be in a relationship with?

• What part of your career does He want you to focus on? Does he want you to focus more on your family? Is your family becoming more self-sufficient? Are you moving in the direction of serving beyond the ministry of your household?

• What is it that 2023 will look like so that you serve your purpose?

18:02 – Your purpose as a Christian

The world likes to attach purpose to things in the world, but we know that our purpose is simply to glorify God.

Final question: how will you glorify God in 2023? What is He leading you to focus on? And will you say yes?
