You need a BHAG in 2025.

,


Today's one of those days you would normally get whenever you decide to be consistent at something.


I'm talking about those days when you absolutely don't feel like showing up.


We had our Annual Thanksgiving Service in my church today,


And we finished around some minutes past 12pm.


Right after tending to some "post-service duties", I had to rush off to one of our mega regions for rehearsals.


I only just returned a couple hours ago.


Plus I've got a test presentation to prepare for tonight.


Point is, by all indications, I have more than enough reason not to show up today.


But I still decided to show up regardless.


There's a lesson hidden somewhere in there.


Figure it out.


Meanwhile, here's something I want to leave you with today.


I was on TikTok earlier listening to a valedictorian speech of a student from Bowen University.


And he said two things that stuck with me.


The first one is having a BHAG.


In simple terms,


Have a...


BIG


HAIRY


AUDACIOUS


GOAL


That's what BHAG means.


BIG as in a goal that scares you and probably even looks impossible


HAIRY as in a goal that is uncomfortable and forces you to get out of your comfort zone and grow.


AUDACIOUS as in a goal that is bold and daring.


If there's anything you should go into 2025 with,


It should be a Big, Hairy and Audacious Goal.


2024 is almost gone (a lot can still happen though),


And 2025 is just around the corner.


Don't let 2025 come without you having something that will keep driving you.


  • Something that will keep you up at night and make you get up early in the morning.


  • Something that will propel you to keep showing up.


  • Something that will force you out of your comfort zone to where true growth happens.


Don't let 2025 meet you unprepared.


If you fail to prepare for 2025 — by setting proper goals — then you're preparing to fail.


And here's the second thing.


Do It Afraid.


Having a Big Hairy Audacious Goal can be scary at times.


Trust me, it's perfectly normal to be afraid.


The key thing is to ignore the fear and do it anyway.


Do It shy.


Do It with your little resources.


Do It in your small place.


Do It Afraid.


But Do It Anyway.


2025 is about to be a great year for us.


And I'm hoping you make sure of it by doing the needful.


I'm rooting for you.


Yours for setting Big Hairy and Audacious Goals,


— KD™
