485. 9 Questions Top Performers Ask to Start the Year Strong


Listen Later

If you’re listening to this podcast you’re probably a high achiever. A doer. Someone who is in constant motion. That’s all great, but don’t forget to pause and reflect. Purposeful reflection will lead you to more success and satisfaction.


Here are the nine reflection questions Jay goes over in today’s episode:


  1. What did I accomplish?
  2. What challenges did I face?
  3. Where did I fail?
  4. Who supports me and helps me grow?
  5. What relationships are missing in my life?
  6. When is enough enough?
  7. What do I fear?
  8. What brings meaning to my life?
  9. Who am I becoming and who will I be in the end?

  10. Write down your answers. Identify patterns in your answers. Discuss them with the people closest to you in life and business.


    Then use it to create your intention for 2025: This is the year that I finally– fill in the blank.


    Jay walks you through, step-by-step, how to get the most out of this reflection and intention activity. Be sure to tune in.



    Challenge of the Week:

    Set a clear intention for 2025. This will be the year that I finally… you fill in the blank. Put that somewhere where you cannot avoid it. You cannot ignore it. You cannot forget it. Set your intention for 2025. You will be surprised at the end of the year how much progress you have made towards that goal.
