Hello everyone, Mark Cole here. Welcome to the John Maxwell Leadership Podcast. Hey, we've got

something extremely special for you this week. Many of you know John Maxwell sets aside the last

week of every year to reflect on the previous 365 days. He calls this his year-in review.

This annual exercise allows John the clarity to identify what he did well the past year and what

he needs to improve on in the year to come. Now we've played episodes in the past where John,

myself, Richard, we talk about this week of reflection. But we've never played an episode where

John tells you step by step, play by play his process for this exercise. So this week, John is

going to walk you through his process for his year-in review. That way you can set aside time

for yourself and apply this to your life, to your plan. John has made some of his biggest life

and business decisions during this week, his year-in review week. So we wanted to add value to you by

giving you this process. We hope this changes your life. It has certainly changed John's life,

it's changed my life, it's changed the life of our team, and we believe it'll change your life.
