Setting a one word intention for the year ahead is a little ritual I put into place a few years back. It’s powerful, yet simple.

You see, I’m a natural born entrepreneur, an ideas person.

If given the chance, I would launch a new business every week, bringing to life another million dollar idea with every chance I get.

I don’t know if it’s the same for you, but ideas whisper into my ear everywhere… in the shower, on the train, in my sleep.

While this is exciting, I realized I needed a way to keep on the path set out in front of me, instead of getting pulled in 80 different directions.

And here’s how I did that; I began setting a one word intention for my year ahead, both personally and professionally.

That one word becomes my compass, my north star, my beacon when I want to do ALL THE THINGS… but need to remember to slow down and focus on (actually) doing the right things.

Before I start setting goals, before mapping out my cash flow forecast, before creating my programming calendar, I set my one word intention.

In years past, my word has been… Reach, Amplify, Soar. This word set the theme for the year ahead, giving me breathing room to create opportunities in work and life.

It brings me a sense of simplicity.

My goals are determined by my one word intention. And as my business mentor Danielle LaPorte has taught me, my ‘core desired feelings’ are always aligned with my one word intention. They work in perfect harmony, so how I want to feel matches where I want to focus. This helps me decide what I’m going to do (daily) to bring this to reality.
