b'The Nitty-Gritty:\\n\\n\\n\\n* Why podcast advocate Elsie Escobar created a personal process for looking back over the year and setting her intentions for the year to come* How setting clear boundaries helps her to stay on top of her commitments and execution* The tools she uses to look back over the past year and how they give her a fresh perspective on what she\\u2019s experienced\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nDo you know what you did this year?\\n\\n\\n\\nDo you know how many blog posts you published? How many emails you sent out? How many customers bought your product?\\n\\n\\n\\nHave you kept track of the accolades that have come your way? Or the speeches you\\u2019ve delivered? Or the interviews you\\u2019ve done?\\n\\n\\n\\nWhen the year is hurtling toward a close, it\\u2019s easy to lose track of everything you\\u2019ve accomplished already. All you can see in front of you is a to-do list that absolutely must get done before you can relax and enjoy the holiday cookie spread.\\n\\n\\n\\nBut that\\u2019s precisely why taking a look back is key.\\n\\n\\n\\nThis month, we\\u2019re examining how we can take better care of ourselves as small business owners.\\n\\n\\n\\nWe\\u2019re putting aside cliche self-care tips and digging into how entrepreneurs actually engineer their routines, procedures, and operations to care for themselves.\\n\\n\\n\\nThis week, my guest is Elsie Escobar.

Her mission is to help more people use their voice and make an impact through the craft of podcasting.\\n\\n\\n\\nWith everything she has going on, it would be easy for Elsie to forget what she\\u2019s accomplished in a year.\\n\\n\\n\\nIt would be easy to dismiss the small wins and important insights she\\u2019s experienced.\\n\\n\\n\\nThat\\u2019s why Elsie has developed a personal process of looking back, assessing her opportunities, setting intentions for the new year.\\n\\n\\n\\nElsie and I talk about the energy of the end of the year\\u2014and how it can contribute to feeling like we need to catch up no matter how much we\\u2019ve achieved.
