get at 25 as your year

🔥Start with intention, and you’ll end with impact.

hey ChatGPT, summarize this k? thx.

1. Record, review regularly your celebrations - in a folder, digitally, in a notebook. Celebrating your wins, no matter their size is just as important as achieving the goal itself.

2. Your only going to grow as big as your aspirations you want to be 100x? What of your daily activities need to change to operate your business at that level?

3. Be authentic, vulnerable and often.
   Give give give. Participate in communities where your customers are, explain what value you bring by exemplifying that value in how you show up. (Reddit, Quora, Linkedin, FB)

4. Decide decide decide
   Decisions and actions are what separate watching from participating. Use tools like an EOS issue list to document, decide and move forward.

🎉 Celebrate the Wins, Big and Small

One member reminded us of the importance of recognizing our achievements—like launching a new initiative that exceeded exploded expectations within its first 72 hours! Reflecting on wins fuels and ignites momentum. 🚀

🏆 Rethinking Goal-Setting for Bigger Impact

Thinking 10x or 50x is important to shift from incremental improvements to transformative change. It’s not just about doing more—it’s about thinking differently. 🤔

🙏 Community and Authenticity Drive Success

The overwhelming theme: real, face-to-face connections matter. From personalized outreach strategies to humor-infused introductions, building relationships authentically is the secret sauce. 🤝

Action = the success sifter

1. 📖 Start a "Wins Journal": Capture big and small successes daily. By year’s end, you’ll have a record of achievements to fuel your confidence. (Tool: Try Evernote or Notion for digital tracking.)

2. 😂 Leverage Humor in Outreach: Authenticity works. Be upfront and lighthearted in your approach. (Resource: Check out "The Humor Advantage" by Michael Kerr.)

3. ✏️ Host Strategy Days: Dedicate time to reflect and plan—just you, a notebook, and big-picture thinking. Reset your north star for 2025. (Template: Use the Vision to Traction Planner to organize ideas. Potentially plaster a wall with paper and go nuts - delete and double down after)

4. 🔢 Set Metrics for Goals: Define success before you start. Clear metrics prevent “goalpost moving” and align teams. What would a win this time next year look like?

5. 🔍 Harness Old Connections: Revisit your network with a genuine offer to help. It’s low-cost and high-return. We always would prefer to work with those we know, and sometimes we get lost in what everyone is doing - remind them!

🤔 eat this, and let it stew

• What’s one area where you can delegate to focus on your strengths?

• Reflect on 2024: What’s one win you’ve overlooked but should celebrate?

Reflecting on our wins isn’t about looking back; it’s about building the confidence to move forward.
