If you are anything like me you will be reviewing your 2024 right now and thinking about how well (or not) you have done this year.
But while it is a good thing to look back (and learn), we need to look forward and progress.
The key thing is whether your business (and you) in 2025 will be an improved version, or just another repeat of 2024, 2023, 2022.....
So here are some of the things I have done - and I hope one of these may help move you to make next year, the best year ever:
- I have started to build my 9 year plan for what I want to be, do and have - for those of you who know my story, I have decided on the day I will retire and am working towards that date
- I have already booked my main summer holiday for 2024 - 10 days in Cyprus (again!) - this gives me something to look forward to in terms of new surroundings and a chance to reset in a warm environment.
- I have reviewed all of my subscriptions and what I spend my money on, and removed all those that added no value, or that I didn't use enough this year.
- I have deleted around 15% of those in my social networks that are mood hoovers - those people who bring the tone down and sap my energy from listening to all their woes and negativity.
- I have created one simple financial goal for the business and me personally next year.
- I have made a huge decision on my property portfolio having agonised on which way to go over the past three months.
- I have scheduled, although she doesn't know it yet, one night per month as a date night for me an my partner - something we haven't done this year, but did in previous years.
- Having almost reached my weight loss goal, I have now decided on my fitness regime and what I want to achieve in the next twelve months.
So what are you going to do - feel free to share it with us, as if you write it down and share it, you can then be held accountable to deliver it.
