Are you ready to knock 2025 out of the park?

If you are thinking about setting big goals for 2025 I have some tips for you.

There is a lot of evidence that writing down your goals has a significant positive impact on the chances you hit them. 

Beyond that if you tell others about the actions you plan to take then there is a greater chance you will do them mainly because you don’t want to look like a fool that says one thing then does another. I don’t want to look like a fool so I am going to share my Q1 goals with you.

Taking my own advice I live streamed my 2025 planning session for Schematical. 

To keep focused I limited myself to just 3 and here they are:

Goal 1 -  Launch my new Video Course:

This one is a bit tough for me to talk too much about because of who I am partnered with but you should be hearing a lot more about it towards the end of January.

Goal 2 - Add 2 new clients to my consulting Office Hours rotation:

Last year I learned a ton and had a great time working with my current consulting clients to scale their infrastructure up in a cost effective manner. Now it is time to take what I learned and scale it up a notch.

Goal 3 - Launch my coaching community:

This is so I can help people that are not quite ready to go all in on private office hours but still want a little help. This will involve a bunch of live training workshops and something I call “War Games” where we knock over real infrastructure and get to diagnose and fix live. It should be a lot of fun.

Honorable Mentions:

Other honorable mentions include starting a new podcast and the CTOThinkTank.com mastermind group but being as I don’t intend to really profit from those they didn’t make the top three. I have to keep the lights on first then do the fun stuff.

Systems > Goals:

Having goals is great but without a plan and systems to get there then you're just fumbling around in the dark. I would love to share my systems for running my business with you but this post is getting a bit long.

My question to you:

Do you want to hear more about the consulting side of things and the systems I use to run my one man business?

Or would you prefer I keep the daily writing to just technical stuff? Or just the comics?

I would love to hear your thoughts on it so shoot me an email with what topics you want to hear more about.

~Cheers to a great 2025!
