Happy New Year! As we officially begin 2025, I'm reminded of how time flies. As you start your goal setting process for 2025, let's take a moment to pause, reflect, and remember what matters most.
So, let me ask you...
When it comes to enjoying what matters most to you, are you a thinker, or a doer?
It’s a question many high-achieving professionals grapple with as they navigate their careers and personal lives. Thinkers excel at strategic planning, always envisioning the big picture and mapping out the path to success. Doers, on the other hand, take action and move quickly to bring those plans to life. But what happens when you're caught in the middle, unable to move forward? Whether you're facing burnout, questioning your next career move, or struggling to turn goals into reality, understanding your natural tendencies can help you break through the stagnation and achieve your goals with confidence.
Goal Setter Or Achiever?
Do you set goals or achieve them? The difference isn’t just semantics—it’s what separates those who think about goals from those who accomplish them. In this post, we’ll uncover how focusing on your 'why' and building sustainable habits can help you bridge that gap and create lasting success.
Let’s explore how to balance thinking and doing to not just set goals, but achieve them.
Most people misunderstand goal setting
They’ve been misled their whole lives.
They start strong on January 1st…
Grind it out.
Plan. Rewrite. Plan again.
But here’s the truth:
None of that will guarantee success.
Goal Achieving Secrets
What do the most successful goal achievers I know do that goal setters do not?
They focus on their why.
They build habits that:
✅ Give them daily wins
✅ Align with their priorities
✅ Create sustainable momentum
They measure success differently:
✔️ By appreciating the journey
✔️ By mastering new skills fully
✔️ By maintaining balance and harmony
Success isn’t about grinding harder.
It’s about understanding why you want change, building habits to sustain it, and transforming your life for the long term.
Hit Reset With Enthusiasm
Although it's really just another day, January 1st feels like a new beginning for me. Each new year offers the chance to hit the reset button. It’s that special moment in time when we turn the page on what was and start planning what's possible. For me, it means recommitting to personal growth, and embracing the fear and excitement that come with exploring fresh paths.
Ready to make 2025 the year of your why? Whether you’re launching a new project, thinking about a career pivot, or simply looking to begin a new chapter, now is the perfect time to lean into the unknown and see where it takes you.
