Hello, Beauties🌸 Today’s post, It’s Time To Restart The Clock.
By now you may know, I like to utilize Vision Boards. It’s my way to remind myself of goals set. You know the saying out of sight, out of mind.
According to statistics, just 8% of people archive their New Year’s resolutions. I prefer being intentional by examining every aspect of my life.
The vision board is a fun exercise to put on paper what I’d like to achieve. You know I relish talking about fashion. However, I always want to focus on aging gracefully with health and wellness tips as well as the importance of networking as we age.
Looking back over 2018, how did I do with meetups, as well as focus on health and wellness? You tell me.
The NYC networking events:
Chico’s – How Bold Are You?
Rigby & Peller
Athleta
Mini Fierce Con NYC
Health and Wellness Focus:
Wellness Wednesdays on Instagram

Wear Red Day
The Health of Your Heart

Does everything always work out? No. When I look at my 2018 vision board, one big disappointment jumps right of the page — the possibility of an exciting strategic partnership with a dominant women’s retailer.
At the end of 2017, I contacted a fairly well-known women’s clothing retailer at the King of Prussia Mall near Philly. I initially spoke to the store manager with some exciting ideas to bringing customers into the store. She presented the suggestions to her corporate Public Relations group, that’s when everything came to a screeching halt.
The media group loved my proposal perhaps I didn’t fit the profile of their shopper. I was disappointed at the outcome but never informed as to the reason why.
It wasn’t so much the answer being no. But the endless phone calls to meet to put the plan into action. That should have been the first clue when people don’t return your phone calls.
Now social media, some companies automatically examine your platform for year-end reviews. I look forward to the #bestnine on Instagram for my top posts of the past 12 months. It’s a great way to look back at the year and reminisce about my highlights — the Best Nine feature, introduced in 2015.
And the Fohr Card freely analyzes Instagram engagement and many other aspects like hashtags used, stats on your best engagement time, and even your most popular emoji.
Fohr is an influencer marketing platform founded by James Nord and Rich Tong in 2013. Last year, the group verified my followers as authentic. Side note: many people purchase followers to look more successful. This year, my reach proved. Reach is genuine interactions from your post.
My avenue of opportunity is building a secure network, learning more about health/wellness to share with you as well as discovering and partnering with brands that focus on women of a certain age that are still relevant.
Oh, I’m still working on my 2019 Vision Board. How about you, have you analyze your social media performance? What about setting personal and professional goals? Let me know in the comments section.
Thank you for reading. Happy New Year🌟
