Week 13 (December 23 – December 29, 2024)

Introduction

“Good morning, everyone! As the year comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to think about our goals for 2025. Setting clear and actionable goals is essential for both personal and business growth, and today, we’ll discuss how to plan for success in the new year.”

Body

“Goal setting is more than just writing down what we want to achieve—it’s about creating a plan to turn those goals into reality. Here are three steps to help us set and achieve our goals in 2025:

1. Set SMART goals – Make sure your goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. For example, instead of saying, ‘I want more referrals,’ a SMART goal would be, ‘I want to generate 5 new referrals per month by the end of Q1.’

2. Break it down – Big goals can feel overwhelming. Break them down into smaller, manageable steps. For instance, if your goal is to grow your business by 20%, break that down into monthly or quarterly milestones.

3. Hold yourself accountable – Share your goals with a trusted Member or mentor in our Chapter. Having someone hold you accountable increases your chances of success, as they can check in with you and provide support along the way.”

Example

“Let’s say your goal for 2025 is to double your client base. Instead of just aiming for that end result, break it down into actionable steps, like increasing your referral activity, attending more networking events, and following up with potential clients regularly. By creating a step-by-step plan, you make the big goal feel more achievable.”

Conclusion

“As we head into 2025, let’s take time to reflect on our goals and create a solid plan for achieving them. Whether it’s personal or professional, having a clear vision for what you want to achieve will set you up for success. Let’s hold each other accountable and make 2025 our best year yet!”
