I woke up to a normal day in the house with my newborn twin girls and noisy toddler son, and when I went onto social media during the day, I realized that this was not just a normal day for most, it was the first day of the second half of what is probably the most eventful year for many of us! I already started reviewing my 2020 goals back in May, and you can have a look at this post to see my process. But, I just had to do it again for tradition’s sake.
Short-term goals – 9. Achieved – 2
I am honestly so happy that I have managed to move the needle with my goals, all while having 2 kids under 2 + a toddler at home throughout.
I have been intentional about celebrating small wins, even as I work towards my big goals, but here are a few short-term goals that I won:
- Started the Women Thrive Tribe community
- Saved half of my targeted savings
- Invested in a business coach
Long-term goals – 4. Achieved – 0
Family
Having twins has been no mean feat. Having a toddler to attend to during lock-down has been even tougher. Adding a business community to the mix makes me wonder whether I was sane to do so! But I have had some of the most fulfilling moments in my life during this time for which I will be forever grateful.
Business
While these are 2-5 year goals, I cannot say that I have not done anything to get on track to achieving them. Starting the Women Thrive Tribe community alone has been a game-changer for me, and not only has it helped me realize my potential and passion for empowering women, but it has also brought along so many relationships that I needed to have during this season.
Career
I took 6 months off work to focus on raising my twins, not knowing that Covid-19 had its own plans. So career-wise we are at a standstill, but this is something I knew I would have to sacrifice in the short-term.
I have truly come to appreciate the power of focusing on a few things and doing them well. When the time comes, I will be back at my desk in the office, doing what I need to do to get back on track with my career path.
Mind & Wellness
Who knew that I would have read 6 books, year to date, all while giving birth to twins? I thank the Kindle for making it easy to read on the go, on my phone, and whenever I have a few minutes to spare. This is honestly the only reason why I have been able to read this much.
Purpose & Faith
At the beginning of the year, I was tired of wandering in life not knowing if I was pursuing my purpose or just a well-paying career. I have made significant progress in understanding who I am, what makes me happy and fulfilled, and who I want to be. All these can be packaged into a “job description”, but if you are not sure whether you are on the right path, it could all be meaningless.
Finding my purpose and calling is a journey, but I have made big leaps into helping other ambitious mums to start, grow and thrive in their businesses. That to me is a calling on its own, and I feel fulfilled to have started on this path.

Learning lessons from the first half of 2020
When I ask, “how many balls are you juggling”, I only expect other moms to understand what I mean. I had plans in my mind for my maternity leave, including
- working while my son would be in school
- traveling for a baecation
- planning a 60th birthday for someone special in my life
- achieving a higher target for my new business
All these plans became meaningless when the lockdown in Kenya was announced for the third time!!! I am learning to adjust and to find ways of working around my kids in a way that still makes them feel attended to and appreciated.
I am also learning about celebrating small wins as I focus on my big goals. My business is not where I would have wanted it to be, but I have made so much progress in laying the foundation to what I know will be a huge success!
How have you adjusted to 2020 so far, and what wins have you experienced?

Good job on the progress so far! Thankyou for sharing the status of your goals year to date, it shows that you are really invested in this community and vulnerable enough to let us in. I reviewed mine in June and I found that I had made good progress in family and faith aspect. This are the only 2 am keeping this year, that will form by base for business and career. Oh! I did it once I saw you mention it on an IG post.
Hugs!
Thanks for your comment Jules! Yes, I am so happy that you are laser-focused on these key aspects of your life! I have also found that the fewer goals I have, the higher the chances of me achieving them. Well done!
