As we approach a new year, I've been reflecting on how to create a personal development plan that sets me up for success. It starts by looking back at what I've accomplished and what's held me back in the past. This introspection helps me identify areas where I need to improve systems and get support, allowing me to prepare for a brighter future. With my purpose in mind, I can start setting goals that will help me achieve my aspirations.

I want to talk about three levels of goals: achievement, growth, and legacy. Achievement goals are specific, measurable, and time-bound – the SMART goals we've all heard of. Growth goals are about becoming who we need to be to achieve our objectives, while legacy goals focus on leaving a lasting impact for future generations. These different types of goals work together like my atomic triad: foundation, framework, and manifestation.

Takeaways

- Reflecting on past accomplishments and challenges is essential in creating a personal development plan.

- Set three levels of goals: achievement (SMART), growth (becoming who you need to be), and legacy (leaving a lasting impact).

- Achievement goals are specific, measurable, and time-bound, while growth goals focus on self-improvement and legacy goals consider long-term impact.

It’s that time of year—Spotify’s got its Wrapped, and we’ve got our journals. As we reflect on 2024 and dream big for 2025, this episode dives into something more than just setting resolutions that fade by January 10th. I’m sharing my end-of-year ritual: reflecting on the wins, analyzing the roadblocks, and crafting a personal development plan that actually works.

We’re talking about identifying what got in your way this year (hint: it’s probably not just “laziness”), how to stop beating yourself up for what didn’t get done, and creating systems and support to help you crush 2025. No fluff, no "just try harder" nonsense—just practical strategies for turning your aspirations into reality. Plus, a sneak peek at my upcoming e-book that will take your goal-setting to the next level.

Join me as we look back with compassion, plan forward with purpose, and build systems that make success inevitable. Let’s take your life to the Third Power, together.

Primary Takeaways

- Reflect with compassion: Stop beating yourself up for unmet goals; instead, analyze what truly got in your way.

- Purpose over willpower: Willpower fades; systems and purpose last. Build systems that align with your strengths.

- Outsource weaknesses: Focus on your strengths and find tools, people, or technology to handle areas where you struggle.

- Learn from 2024: Use past challenges as data points for improvement—not as reasons to dwell on failure.

- Plan strategically for 2025: Look at what worked, what didn’t, and create systems to overcome recurring obstacles.

- Iterative growth: Progress is slow and steady—expect to refine your approach each year.

- The magic formula: Support + Systems + Strengths = Mastery.

Let’s set ourselves up for a transformative 2025!

I've been on a journey of self-improvement, and I've learned that it's not about being perfect, but about taking the next step. I've made mistakes in my life, and I've hurt those around me, but I've kept moving forward because I knew that I had to. I've come to realize that the most important words a man can say are "I will do better." These words aren't just for me, but for anyone who's ever felt like they're not good enough or that they've made mistakes they can't recover from. I want to remind you that it's okay to make mistakes, and that we can learn from them and become better because of them.

I want to encourage you to say "I forgive myself" and "I will do better." These words are powerful because they acknowledge our imperfections and give us the courage to move forward. I don't know what you've been through or how you're feeling right now, but I want you to know that you're not alone, and that you can do better. I'm here with you, and I'll be your partner on this journey of self-improvement.

Takeaways:

- It's okay to make mistakes, and we can learn from them.

- The most important words a man can say are "I will do better."

- We need to forgive ourselves and move forward.

- We can take the next step, even when it's hard or scary.

- We don't have to be perfect; we just have to be willing to try.
