Summary

The first few weeks of the year are critical for building momentum toward your goals—but how do you make progress that lasts? In this solo episode, host Ken Freire shares three simple actions to help you start strong and stay on track in 2025. These practical tips are easy to implement and designed to keep you motivated all year long.

Key Takeaways

Start Immediately. Procrastination kills momentum. Take a small action today—even if it’s as simple as doing one squat or buying a journal.
Make Your Goals Visible. Keep your goals front and center by posting them where you’ll see them daily—on your phone, bathroom mirror, or workspace.
Write Down Next Steps. Break your goals into actionable steps, starting with the first three. Focus on one step at a time to maintain clarity and progress.
Celebrate Small Wins. Sharing milestones with someone helps build motivation and accountability.
Find an Accountability Partner. Share your next step with a friend, family member, or the Full Focus Planner Community to stay committed.
