Bringing back our Year End Review
THE LEVEL UP LETTER
Hi All!
It’s been a full year of writing “Here is your weekly Level Up Letter” each and every week. We can’t believe 2024 is about to end and we’re on already on Vol 52. For this week, we’re ending the same way we started. With The Year End Review. This is something we do personally each and every year as a way to reflect and prepare ourselves for the year ahead. The template and steps are below as well as a couple of extras.
Thank you all for being part of this journey with us in 2024 and we wish you all a happy, healthy and prosperous 2025!

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

YEAR END REVIEW TEMPLATE
We created a free template for you all to use for your own Year End Review. Click the button to grab yours.
STEP 1: POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE
This is essentially the Tim Ferriss Year in Review Method. It’s a great starting place for a quick, systematic way to look back on your year.
Calendar Review: Go through your calendar from the last year, looking at every week.
Positive/Negative Review - Write down any people, activities or commitments that triggered peak POSITIVE or NEGATIVE emotions in their respective columns.
Do an 80/20 analysis - What were the top 20% of things in the POSITIVE column? Do more of these! What were the worst 20% in the NEGATIVE column? Do far less or even better eliminate these for the coming year.
STEP 2: SEVEN QUESTIONS
Next we want to dive a little deeper and ask ourselves more personal reflection questions. We found this framework from Sahil Bloom a great way to uncover more of how we’ve grown, struggled or held ourselves back.
What did I change my mind on this year?
What created energy this year?
What drained energy this year?
Who were the boat anchors in my life? (people that drag you down)
What did I not do because of fear?
What were my greatest hits and worst misses?
What did I learn this year?
STEP 3: START WITH THE END
Now that you’ve had time to digest your year you can start to look ahead. Imagine you’re doing this same process a year from now. What do you see yourself accomplishing? Who are you spending your time with? What does your life look like exactly a year from today? We map it out in the “5Fs”
FRIENDS - Where are your relationships a year from now?
FAMILY - What has changed or progressed in your family life?
FAITH - What are you doing for your personal/spiritual/mental wellness?
FITNESS - What does your health look like a year from now?
FINANCES - Have you progressed your income/investments/savings?
Once you know where you want to be in a year, you can start to map out those quarterly goals.
BOOK A GOAL SETTING SESSION NOW
Ready to kick 2025 off right? You need to get your plan in order now. Book a 1×1 goal setting session with us and we’ll get you setup for success in 2025. In this 90 minute session, you'll learn the three essential elements to accomplishing your goals. We'll train you on a highly effective goal setting system. (the same system billion dollar businesses use, modified for your personal life). It includes your own personal goal setting templates and workshop time to set your own personal 90 day goals.
p.s. This session would make a great holiday gift for that someone in your life that’s impossible to shop for but needs some help with their goals.
