Summary

In this episode, Marissa and Ken discuss four powerful actions to help you finish the year strong and set the stage for a successful 2025. They’ll help you narrow your focus, turn experience into a plan, power the energy you need—and use it all to start dreaming big for 2025.

Key Takeaways

Define Your One Thing: Simplify by focusing on one impactful goal for the rest of the year. Choose a goal with a "domino effect" that will positively influence other areas in 2025.
Stop and Recalibrate: Conduct an After Action Review with the KISS method (Keep, Improve, Start, Stop) to reflect on the past few months and prioritize what matters most.
Protect Time to Connect: Connect with the people who matter most to you and with yourself to give you the energy you need to finish well this year.
Start Dreaming for Next Year: Open your mind to possibilities in 2025. Suspend limiting beliefs and allow yourself to think big. Listen to learn the question that unlocks possibility.
