THE WOMAN TODAY ASKS ABOUT YOUR LIVES, EXPERIENCES AND THOUGHTS

What are some of your goals or something you want to accomplish in 2020?

Emily Ekstrom, Hucklebeary

My vision for 2020 would be to maintain a healthy work-life balance. I love my job — owning my own shop, being surrounded by beautiful, inspiring products, and bringing my dog to work! As a new business owner, I need to invest time and energy back into myself to keep a healthy balance and be ready to grow and move forward.

Laura Hamblin, Duluth Coffee Company & Cafe

I would like to have better routines in place so my goals are actually met. I want to work out, therapy, and my side hustle (Zenith City Vintage), but have a better routine in place so I can meet my goals in the various categories. I want to have better boundaries for my activities so my dreams can turn into goals, and my goals can become attainable through my routine.

Annie Lepper, MPECU

I was chosen to be in a credit union innovations group. I would like to innovate in both my personal and professional life. I want to take on 2020 challenges with an eye on innovation. How can I make things more efficient and effective at work as well as at home?

Holly Vanderport, Duluth Candy Company

Professionally, we are getting a new face and rebranding as Duluth Candy Company. I want to be up to my elbows in chocolate! Personally, we want to take our first stay-cation. We’ve never done a lot of the touristy things Duluth has to offer and we want to do that in 2020.
