I didn\u2019t quite accomplish the things I initially set out to do this year, but I did accomplish quite a bit. Let\u2019s look at what I\u2019d planned for <a href=\"https:\/\/genealogy.julietarr.com\/blog\/2019-achievements-2020-goals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2020<\/a> and how I did\u2026<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I wanted to formally relaunch my business. I did!! On my birthday in March, I announced my new business direction, along with a new name and website. What I didn\u2019t realize is that I would pivot again less than a month later. More on that in a bit.<\/li>\n<li>I intended to publish my first book in 2020. While I have been working on it, it won\u2019t be published until Spring 2021.<\/li>\n<li>Due to the pandemic, I was not able to attend Gen-Fed or APG PMC, nor was I able to complete the ICAPGen accreditation process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, what did I do instead?<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I was able to attend IGHR virtually in July! Finally took <em>Advanced Methodology<\/em>!!<\/li>\n<li>I published several articles.<\/li>\n<li>I pivoted my business (again!). I decided to take the name of my book series and turn it into an overall brand focused on action-based education. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.genealogyinaction.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Genealogy In Action<\/a> provides various learning opportunities in the form of courses, books, guides, a blog, and more.\n<ul>\n<li>I launched a new blog! The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogyinaction.com\/blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Genealogy In Action blog<\/a> provides instructional\/informational content designed to get you to take action.<\/li>\n<li>I successfully launched my signature course <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogyinaction.com\/academy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Genealogy Problem-Solving Academy<\/a> in September! Because this is a coaching-led experience, it will only be offered a few times a year.<\/li>\n<li>I also launched the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogyinaction.com\/GSH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Genealogy Scavenger Hunt<\/a> as a one-year subscription, instead of a 5-day challenge.<\/li>\n<li>I\u2019ve been plugging away on my book <em>Digital Books for Genealogy<\/em>, which will be published in the spring.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Perhaps my biggest accomplishment this year was <strong><em>letting go<\/em><\/strong>\u2026letting go of perfectionism, letting go of limiting beliefs, letting go of fear, pretty much letting go of anything that was holding me back from achieving my goals. Had I not had this mindset shift, I would not have done any of the things above!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What\u2019s in store for 2021? I\u2019m keeping it light this year. With all the craziness of 2020, I think things are still going to be a little crazy in 2021.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Attend SLIG and IGHR (maybe GRIP). All will be virtual, so I plan to take advantage of that.<\/li>\n<li>Publish my first book!<\/li>\n<li>Keep prepping for accreditation so I\u2019m ready to go whenever testing opens back up.<\/li>\n<li>Present my very first webinar (which will be more like a workshop) in November for the APG Writers SIG.<\/li>\n<li>Although most of the focus for 2021 will be on my business, I really want to spend some serious time working on my own genealogy. I haven\u2019t done much of anything since October 2019, other than a 10-minute sprint here and a 30-minute sprint there. So, I\u2019ve gotten some tasks done, but not any serious research for myself (and I miss it!!). I haven\u2019t quite decided which projects I want to focus on, but I\u2019ve got a lot of plans to choose from! I do know that one project I will tackle is my Rottman line. I have some leads through DNA that I want to explore further.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What about you? What did you accomplish this year? What goals are you setting for next year?
