CEO Haus

7. How to Review Your Year, Reset Your Mindset, and Set Aligned Goals for the Year Ahead

Ellie Hudson Season 1 Episode 7

In this episode of the CEO HAUS podcast, Ellie is reflecting on her year (both the wins and lessons) and showing you how to do the same. She then talks you through how to reset your mindset once you’ve done this review of your year - so that you’re letting go of what no longer serves you, framing your challenges as lessons and creating a vision for who you want to become. Ellie then talks you through clearing off old tasks so you’re starting the year with a clean slate. Finally, she shares your step-by-step method guide to set goals for the year ahead so you know exactly what you’re working towards and your plan to get you there. 

Key Takeaways

Growth isn’t about perfection

It’s about showing up, learning and adjusting as you go. 

Reviewing your year properly is the key to setting yourself up for success

It also stops you from focusing on the challenges of the year as you’re taking the time to properly recognise all the wins of the year too 

There’s no point planning without reviewing

If you try to plan for 2025 without reviewing 2024, you won’t be taking action on the lessons learnt and using the data to build a plan that will actually grow your business in 2025

Your mindset needs to shift as you shift into the new year

When you approach the new year, you need to let go of what doesn’t serve you, view your challenges as lessons and create a clear vision for who you want to become in the next 12 months

Wrapping up loose ends should be part of your planning for the new year 

If you’ve still got mental clutter and little to do lists from the previous year, you can’t start the next one with a clean slate so making time to do this will have a huge impact
