Today I’m taking some time to share with you some personal insights and updates. Every year, in fact, in December I try to carve out some time analyzing the year that has passed and planning for the new year.
For 2023 I thought about major changes to my business and I would like to share them with you here. I thought that, other than just telling you “I will do this, I’m planning to do that “, it could have been more interesting to share a bit more deeply about it, by sharing both the good things and the bad ones which happened to me this year.

I’m doing this because I always love reading about other people’s experiences, it always helped me a lot in these years to understand more about other people’s own experiences, both good and bad ones. Honestly the majority of people online just share the good ones – but we all know it’s not just about these, especially in the last period, and I think we should all stop worrying about looking “perfect” and start worrying instead much more about the real value we bring to other people and being a bit more empathic in general.
Here is a throwback of my year.
2022 for me started in a really bad way because in February ( it was the night before Saint Valentine’s day ) one of my most talented collaborators was hit by a car just close to his home, in the city center of Milano. They never found the murderer and he is still in coma.
This hit me hard – you never think about how things can change from one day to another, how life can just turn upside down or actually stop in a blink of an eye.
Probably by looking back I had to take a pause in the first months of the year – I didn’t and I forced myself to work – you know, I have that “heads down, working” mindset typical of this area of Italy I was born in and it’s very difficult to change some patterns we have because of our education. So if looking back to 2022 I would just put a “pause” button on the first months and jump straight to the spring and here I will. Here is a list of what went well and what didn’t.
What I have enjoyed in 2022

Here is my news for 2023 and what I’m going to change.
How was your 2022? What are your plans for 2023?
Thanks for reading my notes and see you next year!
