L.E.A.P. Into 2025: Setting Goals That Invest in Your Purpose and Success

- Advertisement -spot_imgspot_img

Okay, in all honesty, New Year’s resolutions are really just a rite of passage at this point. We set ambitious goals like “lose 10 pounds” or “get organized,” then two weeks later, we’re back to eating pizza on the couch in our workout gear. 

What if 2025 could be different? What if we could actually make some progress towards our big dreams?

Well, you can!

It’s all about setting goals that mean something to you — goals that fuel your personal growth, get you closer to career success, and make you the best version of yourself. So, let’s ditch the vague resolutions and get serious.

Introducing… the L.E.A.P. framework, a super simple way to break down your goals into actionable steps.

What is it?

Simply put, the L.E.A.P. framework is your road map to a successful 2025. Here’s how it breaks down:

  • Learn: This is your starting point. Think about what you want out of 2025. What excites you? What are you passionate about? Do you want to make a career change? Start a business? Get healthier? Whatever it is, start by understanding why it matters. If your goal is meaningful to you, it’ll be way easier to stay motivated throughout the year.
  • Empower: What tools or resources do you need to achieve your goals? If you’re thinking of jumping into the entrepreneurial world, maybe it’s time to check out a business accelerator program. Or, maybe a mentor to help guide you. Empower yourself with what you need to move forward.
  • Achieve: This is where you start chipping away at the big stuff. Baby steps are your BFF here. If your goal is to launch a business, don’t stress about all the little things at once. Focus on one task at a time like creating a website or drafting a business plan.
  • Persist: There are going to be days when you’re doubting absolutely everything. The key to success isn’t about being perfect, it’s about keeping on. Life will always throw curveballs, but overcoming challenges will bring strength! 

Take a Moment to Reflect

Before you dive headfirst into goal-setting, take a breather and think about where you are right now. 

Maybe last year was all about survival mode — we’ve all been there. But now, it’s time to shift gears and get intentional about your goals. For example: Do you want to build a side hustle? Travel more? Master a new skill? Whatever it is, use your reflections to fuel your purpose-driven goals for 2025.

Make Your Goals Specific

Vague goals like “be more confident” or “get organized” are a recipe for disaster. You need to get specific! So, instead of saying, “I want to get healthier,” say, “I will go to the gym three times a week” or “I’ll meal-prep every Sunday.” The more specific your goals are, the easier it’ll be to track your progress and stay on course.

Stay Motivated

It’s normal for motivation to fluctuate. One minute, you’re feeling super inspired, and the next minute, you’re sitting in your PJs watching a marathon of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. 

To stay on track, create accountability systems that work for you. Maybe that’s a weekly check-in with a mentor. Or, a business accelerator program to help keep you on track with your entrepreneurial goals.

Celebrate Your Wins

If you’re not celebrating your small wins, you’re missing out — who doesn’t love an excuse to celly? 

Finished your first draft of a business plan? Celebrate it. Published your first blog article? Celebrate it. Take the time to recognize your progress along the way. It’ll keep you feeling motivated!

2025 doesn’t have to be just another year of half-hearted resolutions. With the L.E.A.P. framework, you can set goals that actually feel aligned with your purpose, break them down into actionable steps, and stay motivated all year long.

If you’re looking to kick-start your entrepreneurial success in the new year, consider checking out the Girls LEAP Business Accelerator Program. Applications close on December 15, 2024.
