Episode#70 Setting your intention for 2025

Hello and Happy New Year! It’s great to be back!

Today I’m talking about setting your intention for 2025 so you create all the results you want this year.

This isn’t about setting new year’s resolutions. It’s about the thoughts BEHIND your new year’s resolutions that are the difference between you giving up on your shiny new gym membership 3 weeks into January, and sustaining your new commitment to health and fitness for the entire year. Big difference!

I had a rocky start to the year in that, unusually for me, I went into it thinking “I don’t know what I want this year” and “What if I fail” (and a whole host of other fears). But thanks to the coaching tools I have (and which I teach you inside BE THE FIRST and CONFIDENT Black Lawyers) I can catch these thoughts and redirect my brain to thinking more intentionally and powerfully so that 2025 is everything I want it to be.

Have you set your intention for the year? What results do you want to create for yourself in 2025? How will you keep going with your resolutions this year? I answer all these questions and more in today’s recording.

Happy New Year and happy listening.
