Don't Wait for New Year’s Resolutions: Make 2025 Your Best Year Yet

Around this time every year, amidst the business of Christmas, I slow down and take time out.

I'm already thinking about 2025.

Who do I want to become?

What do I want to achieve?

What's next?

I don't wait for the new year for resolutions. I'm thinking about it now. I'm excited about it already.

But before I imagine and plan a better 2025, I want to reflect on and close 2024.

Reflective Tools

I have a few tools I use for these sorts of reflections.

1. First, the Life Retro. This one is probably my favourite because it can take just ten minutes and gives you a quick pulse check of how I am doing and what I will do about it. It's ideal if you have little time but want to enhance one area of your life that needs it.
2. Second is the 12 Annual Reflections. This goes deeper and takes more time. But it's a great way to close any hectic time. You might need to refresh everything important to you.
3. Thirdly, and more recently, I have been using my 15-in-15 Diagnostic. This is more business-focused. It gives me an objective view of my business health. More importantly, it prompts action, one of my core values.
4. Finally, my 2025 Vision and Goals Roadmap. I won't allow myself near that until I've done the others. I look back for gratitude and learning before looking forward. This one is all about possibility and new ideas. Nothing is impossible!

Let's Make 2025 Your Best Year Yet

I've combined all these tools into one Annual Reflection and Goals Toolkit.

I'll print it out.

I'll take time out - pen, paper and a coffee.

And I'll enjoy reflecting on what worked, what didn't, what I'm going to do about it and how that will help me realise my potential in 2025.

I feel like 2025 will be a big year. I've put a lot of attention in 2024 on clarity, my system and habits. These are the fundamental scaffolding upon which you build a well-designed business.

Work that I've skipped previously and regretted. But I am learning.

It is only a mistake if you make it again and again. Otherwise, it's a lesson.

If you are thinking ahead to 2025 (you should be), ask yourself these three questions.

1. What went well this year?

2. What did not go well?

3. How will you change and grow in 2025?

The world is changing fast.

And it needs you to be at your best.

If you want to leave your mark, I am facilitating a live Freedom 2025 workshop for anyone who wants to make it their best year yet.
