Recommit to Your 2025 Vision

Published 3 days ago • 1 min read

Are you locked in?

It’s time to think about the rest of the year. Labor Day is Monday, cooler temperatures are upon us, and before we realize it will be time for Christmas parties and then 2026.

Take this opportunity to lock in to your goals for 2025 and reach your goals. Most people will wait until September 30th to close out Q3 and think about their Q4 focus. But not you. Let’s use this long weekend to find an hour and focus in on the next 4 months.

Here’s a simple 3-step framework you can use this weekend to refocus your energy, prepare for the rest of the year, and stay locked in!

Step 1: Review

Take 30 minutes to look back at your year so far. What goals did you set in January? Where are you on track, and where are you behind? This isn’t about judgment, it’s about clarity.

Step 2: Refocus

Pick the one to three priorities that will make the biggest impact between now and December. Many leaders try to tackle too much in Q4, which leads to scattered results. Limit your focus so you make meaningful impact where it matters.

Step 3: Recommit

After reviewing and refocusing, make a clear commitment to the priorities you’ve chosen. Share them with your team, put them on paper, and hold yourself accountable. Better yet - hire me as your coach to help you finish the year well.

The truth is, the next four months will pass quickly whether you’re intentional or not. The leaders who step back, refocus, and recommit now will be the ones celebrating meaningful wins in December—not scrambling to catch up.

Take the time this weekend to get clear, and give yourself the gift of finishing 2025 strong.

If you know what you want to accomplish but aren’t sure how to get there, that’s where I come in. My coaching is designed to give leaders clarity, accountability, and momentum so you can actually follow through on the priorities you set.

If you want to finish this year strong instead of just busy, let’s talk. I’d love to help you get there.

Thanks for reading,

Phil

A dose of my own medicine

Clarity and Confidence I was reminded of why I focus on clarity and confidence in a couple of different instances this week. My coaching and advisory services focus on these two words because I have found they are most often what hold people back from accomplishing the goals they've set out to accomplish. In one situation, I was helping a client work through identifying clear next steps to reach his goals. Most people know they need to have a clear vision and measurable goals, but often get...

Summer Break Is Over

Back to School and Back to Rhythms Schools across Oklahoma started back this week and with it comes a change in rhythms. Not just for students and teachers, but for their families as well, which means many of us professionals and entrepreneurs too. My family bookended our summer with family trips. We started in Utah to visit the Mighty 5 National Parks in Southern Utah. It was a breathtaking week. I didn't take a laptop and disconnected fully. I decided to continue a bit of summer break - so...

Part Two: Making Faster Decisions

Last week, I brought attention to the speed at which a new Pope was named. It took less than 36 hours to name the new Pope, which is not the fastest but certainly up there in the top 5. I also shared James Clear's framework for categorizing decisions. Be sure to check out last week's email if you missed it. Here's the link How do you go from the idea of making faster decisions to actually doing it in real leadership situations? Let's review a few practical tips on how to make that happen....
