Jan. 7 - 12, 2025

Kickstart 2025:
Setting Goals That Stick

Align Your Vision with Clear, Actionable Goals

Why This Week Matters

Welcome to the first step in your 2025 growth journey! Setting effective goals isn’t just about ambition—it’s about creating a roadmap that aligns your aspirations with actionable strategies. For mental health professionals and media leaders, this means crafting goals that integrate seamlessly with your content and education plans.

Did you know that businesses with clear goals are 42% more likely to achieve their objectives? Without clarity and alignment, even the best intentions can get lost in the noise of day-to-day operations. This week, we’ll help you bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be by showing you how to set goals that truly stick.

TIP OF THE WEEK

Your Growth Task for the Week

This week, let’s create three SMART goals that align with your content strategy and vision for growth. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get started:

1. Write Three Goals

Ensure your goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound.

  • Example for Content Strategy: “Publish 12 educational blog posts by March 31, 2025, targeting key pain points of our audience.”

  • Example for Educational Outreach: “Host two webinars by June 2025 to engage and inform potential clients about our services.”

  • Example for Audience Growth: “Increase LinkedIn follower count by 25% through consistent posting and engagement by the end of Q2.”

2. Break Each Goal into Quarterly Action Steps

Take each goal and divide it into smaller, actionable steps:

  • For the blog goal:

    • January: Plan topics, create an editorial calendar, and draft outlines for the first four blogs.

    • February: Write and publish the first four posts.

    • March: Analyze performance metrics and refine topics for the next quarter.

  • For the webinar goal:

    • Q1: Identify topics, confirm speakers, and promote the events.

    • Q2: Host the webinars, collect feedback, and evaluate engagement.

3. Revisit and Refine Weekly

Set aside 15-20 minutes each week to review your progress:

  • Are you on track with your action steps?

  • Do any adjustments need to be made to align with new insights or priorities?

  • Celebrate small wins to maintain momentum

Taking the time to set clear, actionable goals now ensures a strategic and focused approach throughout 2025. Start by drafting your three SMART goals and break them down into quarterly steps.
