Did you pick a 2024 word of the year? It’s definitely grown in popularity the past few years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is my 11th year! Yup, I\u2019ve done it every year since 2014. To be honest, those first couple years I didn\u2019t take it nearly as seriously as I have the past few years.
The results I had when I started taking it seriously were so evident that I don\u2019t take picking my word for the year lightly anymore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For instance, a few years ago I felt like my business (and my life) were on a roller coaster. I was struggling to be consistent with anything (because of my husband\u2019s cancer and all the things that came along with that). So, I chose the word consistency<\/a>. And I stuck to that word for the entire year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Even in the midst of the hardest personal time of my life, my business still grew almost 60% that year! And I knew it was a direct result of the word I chose. The word LISTEN<\/strong> has been heavy on my mind for a few months and I knew that was to be my word for 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I realized I don’t want to do that anymore. I’m not looking to make the convo about me! <\/p>\n\n\n\n So I decided my 2024 word of the year would be LISTEN<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Listen more and talking less. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m going to work on listening to friends and family and not have to always relate to their stories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some years I struggle to come up with the perfect word, but not this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2024 Word of the Year<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This past year I realized that with quite a few of the converstions with my kids, my boyfriend, my mom, etc. I would want to let them know that I undertood how they felt, so I would interject with my own story just so they would know I could relate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
