Planning for 2025: Focus on What Really Moves the Needle

As the new year approaches, the excitement of planning often sparks bold dreams and ambitious goals. I love this time of year—there’s something so invigorating about imagining the possibilities ahead and mapping out a path to make them happen.

This week, I worked with my clients to plan their 2025, and one theme kept surfacing: the temptation to put everything on the plate. As entrepreneurs, we’re wired to dream big and want to tackle it all at once. But here’s the key: Breakthroughs don’t come from doing all the things; they come from focusing on the right things.

Do Less, Achieve More

When you try to load your calendar with every idea, project, and initiative in Q1, it can feel heavy and overwhelming. The truth is, doing too much at once dilutes your focus and energy, and can leave you feeling stuck before you even get started.

What if, instead, you chose just 2-3 key initiatives per quarter—the ones that will truly move the needle for your business? This approach creates clarity and momentum. It ensures you’re not just busy but building with intention.

Shift Your Focus

 Instead of asking, “How can I do it all?” ask yourself:

• What will create the biggest impact for my business right now?
• What aligns most with my vision and values for 2025?

By narrowing your focus, you’ll find it’s easier to execute with excellence, feel more confident in your progress, and stay energized throughout the year.

Craft Your Plan

As you start planning, here’s a simple but powerful way to guide your focus: Make two lists—your "hell yeses" and your "hell nos." 

• Your Hell Yeses: What are the projects, clients, and opportunities that light you up? These are the non-negotiables—the things that excite you, align with your goals, and deserve your attention.
• Your Hell Nos: What drains your energy, feels misaligned, or no longer serves you? Let these go. Clearing them off your plate creates space for what truly matters.

 Once you have your lists, ask yourself:

• How do my "hell yeses" shape my priorities for Q1?
• What steps will I take to honor these choices and keep my focus clear?

By planning around your "hell yeses" and releasing the rest, you’ll create a roadmap that feels energizing and achievable—one that sets you up for meaningful success.

Lighten the Load

During the planning sessions I led this week, we spread initiatives across the year—no more than 2-3 per quarter. This intentional spacing allows you to:

• Deeply commit to your priorities.
• Deliver better results on each project.
• Maintain the flexibility to respond to new opportunities as they arise.

Your Next Step

 If this way of planning speaks to you, I invite you to join me at my Soul+Strategy Planning Retreat this week. Not only will I guide you through a process that will help you focus on what matters most—I'll also open the door to listening to your inner wisdom—leaving you with a plan that feels purposeful and doable.

 Let’s make 2025 the year of focus, freedom, and fulfillment—the year where you choose fewer things, but make a bigger impact.

"By increasing my pricing and focusing on profitable strategies, I’ve been able to rebuild a stronger growth foundation in my pet care business. I’ve expanded my team, bringing on new contractors who share my passion for providing exceptional care to our clients’ pets. It’s been rewarding to create a culture of community and belonging within my team, just as we do with the pets we care for. Kami Guildner has been the master connector behind it all, surrounding me with an incredible group of women who’ve supported and inspired me. With Kami’s guidance, I’ve taken back my life. After working 7 days a week for so long, I’m finally starting to step back and allow my team to handle the day-to-day operations. I feel more balanced, more present, and more in control of my business and my life than I have in years."
