Finish the Year Strong: 3 Steps to Achieve Your Q4 Goals (and I Dare to Share a Crazy Dream for 2025)
The fourth quarter is already here.
We can either let it pass by, or prepare for it and finish the year strong.
We often associate the success of our projects with our productivity.
Yes, it matters, but the further I go, the more I realize it’s less about productivity and more about clarity.
And the good news is, it’s more about method than talent.
Want to finish the year well? Take 30 minutes to do this little exercise.
1. Aspiration
The goal is not to reach it, but to give us a horizon.
Mine: to become the best version of myself and help others achieve what they want..
2. Ambition
These are our goals. What we want to achieve.
- Select those with the greatest potential to accelerate your major projects
- Make sure they are in line with your aspiration
- That they make you vibrate (see illustration below).
- Less is more. Aim for 3 maximum
My objectives for the fourth quarter of 2024
German
Learning German is my main goal for 2024. In Q3 I reached level B.2.2
After 9 months, I’m starting to run out of steam.
The fourth quarter is an opportunity for me to innovate in my approach.
Business
- My ambition in 2024 was to double my income from my coaching activities while working 6 hours a day. I’m getting close. The objective for Q4 is to finalize the missing 25%.
- Accelerate the transition to corporate leadership projects. I’m currently working with 19 clients. 15 on a personal basis and 4 in the context of leadership projects. My ambition in Q4 and in 2025 is to increase the share of corporate leadership projects.
Health/sport: (my crazy dream)
- I’m anticipating my big goal for 2025. To get back to my 20-year-old body for my 50th birthday. (We have to dream, right?).
- So in Q4, I’m going to start preparing to try for a good time at the Zurich half-marathon in April 2025.
3. Actions
It’s what turns our dreams into reality.
For each of my goals, I’m going to list actions and experiments to try, and prepare active questions (see paragraph 2 of this blog) to make sure I give myself every chance of success.
Align these 3 elements.
Aligning these 3 elements gives me pleasure.
I feel like I’m living the life I want and pursuing my dreams quarter after quarter..
Conclusion.
If you also want to live this experience, your first action is simple.
Take 30 minutes in your schedule to get started.
And let’s remember that no matter our results at the end of Q4, what matters is enjoying the journey.
See you soon.
