If you want real clarity heading into the new year, here’s a simple six-part reflection that will show you exactly where your business grew, where it stalled, and where the biggest opportunities are waiting for you.
Use this like you’re getting guidance from a strategic mentor who knows your patterns and wants you to finish the year stronger than you started.
1. What I Didn’t See ComingIdentify the opportunities you barely touched or completely overlooked. These are usually the areas that could have moved the needle the fastest.
2. What Gave Me the Most LiftLook at the actions, content, habits or decisions that created real momentum. These are the things you should double down on, not reinvent.
3. Where I Left Money Sitting on the TableReview your offers, pricing, follow up, funnels, automations, partnerships and quick wins you didn’t implement. There’s usually hidden revenue sitting right there.
4. Where My Visibility Could Have Been HigherThink about the moments you could have stepped forward more. Missed content angles, collaborations you didn’t pursue, authority plays you held back on.
5. Where My Operations Slowed Me DownBe honest about the bottlenecks. What could have been systemised, delegated, or streamlined so you had more time for the work that actually grows the business.
6. The Single Move That Changes the Game for Next YearChoose the one decision that will create the most momentum. Not five things. One. The move that will shift everything else.
When you go through these six parts with honesty, the path into the new year becomes very clear.
