MARCH 2021 GOALS

We are now in the month of March and I usually dread this month but I am choosing to shift my mindset to enjoy it instead. I have become more present in showing up every morning with intention and this has allowed me to enjoy every day instead of feeling like time is slipping away.

As I revisit my February goals, I can understand where my mind was at exactly during the beginning of the month to where my mind is at currently. To be honest, I wasn’t sure what the month would have in store for me, but to my surprise Clubhouse took priority. If you aren’t aware of what Clubhouse is, it’s a social media app that’s audio based only. Users join chat rooms that are often held by leading experts in different fields and it’s almost like attending a panel with guest speakers and moderators. You can also host your own rooms and it’s a great platform for networking. The best way I would describe it is if LinkedIn and Podcasts had a baby, Clubhouse would be it.

Needless to say, I have been loving the platform and if you’d like to connect, my username on the app is @mariannyip. Right now, it is invite only but I do have some extra invites, so feel free to comment below if you’d like me to extend you one 🙂 Going back to my February goals, I wanted to finalize my book cover options and I haven’t done this fully in terms of picking one design but I have narrowed my designer as well as the concepts so I’m really excited to see those come to life!

Two of my other goals included minimizing clutter and doing a weekend getaway but I wasn’t actually able to fulfill those. I know minimizing clutter sound so simple but to be honest, I have been exhausted with filling up my schedule that the thought of cleaning just wasn’t appealing. I also didn’t go anywhere this month but I do have plans on going somewhere in March, so I am okay with that. Last but not least, I wanted to enjoy Lunar New Year and I can say that was a highlight of my February. Spending time with my family was refreshing and much needed!

MARCH 2021 GOALS

• Consistently host Clubhouse Room Chats: I have found a groove in hosting weekly clubhouse rooms with a few of my friends and have been enjoying them! I love creating a safe space to have open conversations with people from all over the world. If you are on Clubhouse, then feel free to join me and my chats. The schedule is below:
  – Tuesdays 10 am: all things related to business, entrepreneurship, marketing and branding 💻📋📄
  – Tuesdays and Wednesdays 11 am: Creator Networking Hour 🌈🎉✨
  – Tuesdays 7 pm: NYC, Dating, Love & Relationships 💕🏙
  -Wednesdays 10 am: Social Media Audit + Q&As 🙌🏻🎉✨
• Edit my book manuscript: I received my first round of revisions for my manuscript and I am planning to finalize it by this month. I am excited to make progress in my book publishing journey but I will say I am also fearful as it’s such a scary realization that the world will be able to read this by the end of the year! The more real this is all becoming, the more surreal it feels!
• Have a work related trip: I am in the talks with an opportunity for international travel and I think more likely than not, I will be embarking on a trip this March. It’s been a while since I’ve last travelled and I recently just got my passport renew so this is something that I am looking forward to!
• Add services to my blog: I offer marketing, branding and social media services but I haven’t promoted it on my website yet, so I want to prioritize adding this offer so people can know how to book me. I have enjoyed creating content for social media but recently I have been interested in the behind the scenes and helping brands with their social media strategy more.

I would love to hear what are your main goals for this March. Let me know what you want to accomplish in the next 30 days. I find that writing it down and saying it out loud helps to manifest them into reality 🙂
