S6:E32 - How we set goals for 2024 (EF Year in Review!)

I’m not going to sugarcoat it.

2023 has been a very challenging year.

We've had a lot of downs, from our Facebook accounts being hacked to seemingly endless delays in moving to our new studio.

But we’ve also had a lot of wins!

We released The Enterprise Diet, revamped our Podcast, refreshed our websites, and managed to grow and promote many of our trainers.

But often, we get too busy focusing on what didn’t happen rather on the gift of what did.

In short, we have a lot to be grateful for from the year 2023.

So, we wanted to introduce you to our process of how we set goals for the new year. We don't do resolutions; instead, we engage in a Year in Review process, which fellow fans of Tim Ferriss might also be familiar with.

Grab a blank piece of paper and divide it in two.

On one side, make a column, 'do more,' and on the other, 'avoid.

Then go through your diary, calendar or Google planner from the start of the year and look at all the appointments that brought you dread… put them in the avoid column.

Then, all the things that brought your excitement, growth or you felt positive about, put them in the ‘do more’ column.

At the end, you’ll have a list. My guess is on both sides, you’ll have people, places and things, some of which bring you pain and lead you on a downward spiral, the other, bringing you joy, support and helping you go where you want.

It's a super simple yet powerful reflection exercise.

But I get it; these things sound good in theory, so Ari and I will go first…
