👉🏻3 Simple steps to plan for 2025 now.
Published 6 months ago • 3 min read
​
Hey Reader,
As we get closer to the new year, it’s the perfect time to reset, refocus, and gearing up for what’s to come over the next 12 months.
Because I know the Holiday season is busy, I want to keep this short and sweet. So here are 3 things to keep your 2025 planning simple, but effective.
1. Reflect on Wins and Lessons​ Note: I said "lessons" not "losses."
Take a few minutes to write down what went well this year. Celebrate those wins (big and small). Then, write down the lessons you’ve learned. Reflect on those and use them to guide the next step.
2. Set One Big Goal​ What’s the onething that could make the biggest impact on your side hustle or business this coming year? Whether it’s launching a new product, building your audience, or finally setting up that email funnel, make it your focus.
Too often we try to do all the things all at once. Sometimes getting focus on just 1-2 things is the key to hitting our goals.
3. Plan for Consistency​ Success isn’t about doing everything, all the time, every day. It’s about showing up consistently. Choose one platform, one strategy, or one habit you’ll commit to in 2025—and stick with it.
I hope this helps. Hit 'reply' and let me know what you're committing to in 2025.

3 Things I Wish I Knew When I Started
Think back to when you first started this journey. Share three things you've learned since starting. Each point can become a piece of content:
A common misconception you had and how you overcame it.
A tool or strategy that has made your work easier.
A piece of advice you'd give your past self or others starting out.
This process not only gives you some valuable content ideas, but it's also a nice reflection exercise.

Hey Reader, If there’s one thing that’s made the biggest difference in our team's success over the years, it’s this: We listen. It sounds simple (and it is), but it’s wildly underrated. Whether you’re running a consulting business, launching a course, starting a podcast, or growing a side hustle, you can’t grow for your audience if you’re not listening to your audience. In his book Superfans, Pat Flynn calls this “learning the lyrics.” It means listening to how your audience talks about their...
Hey Reader, Back in December, I shared that I had been holding on to a SWOT Analysis Workbook for more than 6 months without sharing it out. I was waiting for it to be "perfect" or "ready." The truth is, it's likely never going to be perfect...but it can be ready. So I shared it with you and got some really great feedback. I've made some adjustments from that feedback, and wanted to share it again today. Why? Well, because what I would typically do is receive that feedback and spend another 6...
Hey Reader, I’ve started a lot of businesses over the last 20 years or so. I’ve done a lot of things. Started a record label, managed the janitorial crew of a 18 building facility for a multi-billion dollar company, sold life and health insurance, ran fast food restaurants, helped open a bar, co-owned a concert club, and launched an online marketing firm. I’ve had some successes, and I’ve had a lot of failures. Most importantly, I’ve learned a ton along the way. A little over 10 years ago, I...
