As we wrap up the holidays and head into the new year, it’s hard not to reflect on where we’ve been and where we want to go. I’ll admit—I used to think all this “vision and goal-setting” stuff was BS. But last year, I decided to give it a shot. And let me tell you, the results have been game-changing.

Having a vision gives you clarity. It’s not just about lofty dreams—it’s about creating a roadmap for every aspect of your life.

Personally, here’s what’s on my 2025 vision board:

• I want to travel with my partner and have an epic vacation.
• I want to get back into the ring and possibly compete in bodybuilding or powerlifting again.
• I want to change 100 people’s lives for the better this year.

I’ve also taken a lot of time to work on myself. Over the past year, I became certified as a life coach. And as a retired banker, I decided to lean into my passion for financial growth by becoming a financial services distributor. Life is truly abundant when we open ourselves up to new opportunities—and step outside our comfort zones.

I like to break my vision into four categories:

Health:

• What does your ideal physical and mental health look like?
• What habits can you start now to feel unstoppable in 2025?

Wealth:

• What does financial freedom mean to you?
• Are there specific milestones you want to hit this year?

Relationships:

• Who do you want to surround yourself with?
• How can you strengthen the bonds that matter most?

Self:

• What personal growth or skills do you want to develop?
• What makes you feel alive, and how can you lean into that?

Your Challenge for 2025

Take some time this week to reflect on each of these categories. Write down 1-2 goals for each. They don’t need to be perfect or overly ambitious—just meaningful to you.

Remember: Life begins at the edge of your comfort zone. Lean into discomfort—it’s where growth comes from.

Here’s to a year of focus, growth, and incredible breakthroughs!

To your success,
