Reflecting on 2024 and Setting the Stage for 2025

As 2024 came to a close, it was the perfect time to pause, reflect, and prepare for the future. 2024 was a whirlwind of growth, learning, and meaningful accomplishments. While I’m proud of so much that was achieved, I want to highlight three key wins that defined this year for me—and hopefully inspire you as you reflect on your own journey.

My Three Biggest Wins of 2024

1. Securing a TEDx Interview and Amplifying My Voice One of my proudest moments was reaching the interview stage for a TEDx Talk. Sharing ideas that challenge and inspire is a dream come true, and this opportunity reaffirmed the importance of staying committed to long-term goals. While I did not secure the talk, I know it's in my future.
2. Scaling TEAM Referral Network to New Heights This year, TEAM Referral Network grew to 135 members strong, hosted sold-out events like our annual nonprofit gala, and laid the groundwork to reach 225 members by the end of next year. Creating a community where entrepreneurs thrive is at the heart of what I do, and seeing that vision materialize has been incredibly rewarding.
3. Expanding My AI Training and Coaching Services Helping individuals and organizations integrate AI into their workflows has been a game-changer. I launched new programs this year that empowered clients to build personas, streamline operations, and strategically scale. Seeing these transformations was proof of how impactful personalized coaching can be.

Three Major Projects for 2025

Looking ahead to 2025, I’m laser-focused on execution and creating impact. Here’s where I’ll be channeling my energy:

1. Expanding TEAM Referral Network My goal is to exceed 225 members while deepening the value we bring to our current members. This includes hosting more events, enhancing networking opportunities, and creating innovative tools for our community.
2. Delivering My TEDx Talk I’m determined to bring my TEDx vision to life in 2025. This means refining my ideas, practicing relentlessly, and delivering a talk that resonates with entrepreneurs, leaders, and changemakers.

Heraclitus on Change

As I reflect on this year, one quote has stood out:

"There is nothing permanent except change." – Heraclitus

This simple yet profound truth is a reminder that adaptability isn’t just a skill; it’s a superpower. In 2025, I encourage you to embrace change and lean into its transformative power.

How to Stick with Your Goals in 2025

As we enter 2025, I’m committed to a single focus: Deliver. Or maybe there’s a better word—action, fulfillment —but the heart of it is this: turning plans into results. It's time to deliver for myself. What can I accomplish this year? Stay tuned and find out!
