Hi, it's Pat!

Entrepreneurship isn’t just about building things — it's also about pausing to reflect on what’s worked and what hasn’t. With 2025 just around the corner, now is the perfect time to do that. Let’s take a moment today, right before the New Year, to reflect on 2024 and give ourselves what we need to make 2025 our best year yet.?

THE STORY

As we prepare to welcome a new year, reflection becomes a powerful tool for growth. To ensure that you're not just moving forward, but also improving, consider these three critical questions:

1. What was your biggest accomplishment in 2024? Reflect on your proudest moment or the most significant breakthrough in your business. This isn’t just about celebrating your success —it's about understanding the actions, decisions, and strategies that made those moments possible. How can these insights shape your approach in 2025?
2. What was your most challenging setback, and what did it teach you? Every entrepreneur faces challenges, but the lessons we learn from them can pave the way for future success. Think about a time this year when things didn’t go as planned. What did this experience teach you about resilience, planning, and problem-solving? How will this understanding influence your strategies moving forward?

1. What one skill or area of knowledge do you need to develop in 2025 to reach your goals? The landscape of entrepreneurship is constantly evolving, and so should our skills and knowledge. Identify one area where you feel you could improve — whether it's technical expertise, leadership, marketing, or something else. How will enhancing this skill drive your business forward?

Take a moment to write down your answers and think about actionable steps to incorporate these insights into your plans for 2025. This exercise is not just about looking back or looking forward — it's about connecting the dots to align your past experiences with your future aspirations.

To finish off the year, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for supporting SPI, but more importantly, thank you for believing in yourself and doing what it takes to get to where you want to go. We’re here to help you, but ultimately, it’s up to you to show up, learn, get back up when you fall, and keep going. You’ve got this! Here’s to an incredible 2025, together. Cheers!
