1. Identify What Your Best Year Looks Like
Before you can start planning, you need to get clear on what your “best year ever” means to you. Is it about hitting financial goals, traveling more, building stronger relationships, or improving your health? Be specific!
For example, if your goal is to increase your income, how much do you want to earn? And how do you want to earn it through consulting, courses, or new business ventures? Get crystal clear on what success looks like for you.
2. Determine Who You Need to Help You
No one achieves greatness alone. Think about the people you need in your corner to make your goals happen. Maybe you need a coach to guide you, a mentor for advice, or new team members to take tasks off your plate.
I realized that to hit my 2025 goals, I needed more strategic people on my team, so I hired two social media managers and brought in a coach to refine our main offer. Having the right people can be a game-changer.
3. Set Quarterly, Monthly, and Weekly Goals
Big goals are exciting, but they can also feel overwhelming. That’s why breaking them down into smaller, trackable steps is so important.
Let’s say your goal is to gain 1 million Instagram followers in 2025. Start by calculating how many followers you need each day, week, and month. Then, plan your content strategy around those targets. The key is to stay focused and adjust as you go.
4. Make Sure Your Best Year Isn’t Just About Money
Your best year isn’t just about financial success, it’s about living a good life balance. For me, that means focusing on my health, traveling to Italy and the Philippines, and spending quality time with loved ones.
Think about what brings you joy and fulfillment outside of work. Book that trip, schedule time for hobbies, or make room for activities that light you up. Life is about more than numbers.
5. Build in Breaks for Creativity and Fun
Burnout is real, and it can rob you of the joy of achieving your goals. That’s why taking regular breaks is non-negotiable.
Schedule time for creative activities, fun outings, and moments to just relax. Whether it’s a solo trip, a long weekend off, or simply exploring a new hobby, these breaks will recharge your energy and keep you inspired.
6. If You Need to Move, Move
Sometimes, a change of environment is exactly what you need to do. Whether it’s moving to a new city, state, or even country, don’t let fear hold you back.
When I moved to Houston, everything changed for me. It opened up new opportunities, connections, and experiences that I never would’ve had if I had stayed in the same place. So, if a move feels right for you, move.
7. Go to Therapy
This might not be the advice you were expecting, but it’s one of the most important. You are the common factor in every area of your life, so investing in your mental and emotional health is key to having your best year ever.
Therapy helps you process challenges, uncover limiting beliefs, and become the best version of yourself. It’s not just for when things go wrong it’s for growth, healing, and clarity.
2025 can be the year you achieve everything you’ve dreamed of and more. By defining your goals, surrounding yourself with the right people, and taking care of yourself along the way, you’re setting the stage for success.
