That time of year has arrived once again, the time of year when we look back, reflect, learn from the broader patterns, and make decisions that set the foundation for a successful next year!

 2017 has been a great year of challenge and adventure for me, working in new places, and discovering new friends. This just means my year was filled with valuable lessons & ultimately I became a better person in the process. In 2017 I have met the most wonderful people, attended 7 seminars(3 of them were Tony Robbins seminars). Exploring the world continues to be one of my top priorities in life and I was fortunate enough to make it to some great places this year- Bahamas, Greece, England, Netherland, United States, Spain, Sweden. During my trips, I met over a hundred people that were as passionate about entrepreneurship and personal development as I am. After all my experiences this year I was inspired & determined to use my skills and knowledge to start making a real change. 

So let's take a hard look at the last year and ask very important questions: 

- What did you birth or create in 2017?

- What were the 3 best things that happened in 2017?

- What have you achieved or what are you most proud of?

- What have you learned?

- What have been your top 3 biggest realizations/lessons?

- How have you grown?

- What are you most grateful for from this year?

Your answers to those questions may create a lightbulb moment that sets the tone for a great 2018. 

What I want to do for you today, so I can inspire and empower you to reach levels of mastery, is share with you the top lessons I learned from this past year.

Hope they help you reach victory, excellence, and success in 2018.
