What new habit I am building in 2025?

Hey everybody!

See above message, its been a month to say the least, but I never got a chance to write a constructive answer and share with the curious fellow. And it’s not just one message, I get a lot of questions regarding careers, business, success formulas, cheat codes for investments and whatnot. Frankly, I try hard, but i often tend to miss out on these ‘imparting knowledge’ moments - and I feel terrible about it

So, I have decided to build a new habit for 2025; Writing Regularly.

This year, I would like to make writing a habit and document my journey from both personal and professional angle. As I like to start with my goals early on (which is also my topic for today)

So here we are; hold me accountable. If you don't get two of these issues every week, you have all the right to DM me and remind (read: harass) me to show up.

Jokes apart, I wanted to take this opportunity and talk about all things career, entrepreneurship, profit & loss, failures, personal development, and upskilling. Being someone who had to start from scratch, I made a lot of mistakes along the way and found solutions to a number of hiccups - some worked, some backfired. But all of it sure gave me a perspective, which I'm fortunate enough to share with you lot.

Getting started…

Does getting started on your goals early matters? Does it work? How actually make sure that I accomplish them every year?

The signature dilemma exclusive for Januarys every year.

I follow a simple rule: No harm in showing up a few minutes early!

2025 might seem far away, but starting on your goals now isn’t just beneficial—it’s essential. The truth is, big goals aren’t achieved overnight; they’re built one small, intentional step at a time. By beginning now, you’re giving yourself a head start, allowing time to experiment, develop a process in advance, and refine your approach before the year even begins.

Enter 2025 with a new habit. Don’t give yourself a whole year to practise that habit. Practise it now, implement it in 2025. Try staying a step ahead this time.

I have drafted out a process for myself, to keep me on track with this new habit. You can apply the same to yours and follow along.

Define the Habit Clearly

• Define the Habit Clearly

  Goal: Write 100 words every morning on topics relevant to my expertise—career coaching, entrepreneurship, or investor insights. A clear, specific goal like this gives direction and purpose.

• Set Micro-Goals for Daily Practice

  Start small: Aim for 10-15 minutes of uninterrupted writing daily. This could mean scribbling about a thought leadership piece, or fleshing out ideas for my next blog post. The goal here is to get the words flowing without pressure for perfection.

• Track Progress Consistently

  Use a digital tracker or journal to record daily progress. Note how much was written, the time spent, and any new ideas that came up. This tracking can reveal patterns and reinforce consistency by showing progress over time - all while giving me a sense of achievement

• Reflect and Adjust Weekly

  Set aside time weekly to review the writing entries. Reflect on areas where flow was easy, topics that felt challenging, and insights gained. Adjust the process as needed to keep it engaging and productive.

• Commit to a “No Zero” Policy

  Even on busy days, write something, even if it’s just one sentence or an idea. This keeps the streak alive and trains the brain to show up daily for the habit, no matter the obstacles.

I always encourage people to start with a clear vision of where they want to be in the next 12-18 months. Break down that vision into actionable steps you can start taking today.

Are there skills you need to learn, networks to build, or habits to cultivate? Your call.

Just be honest towards that call, pick up and answer it. Everytime.

“The journey toward big goals is rarely a straight line. We face obstacles and learn lessons along the way.”

As mundane and obvious as it sounds, it’s true. Because we often forget the wisdom that is hiding in the plain sight.

Let’s start now, give ourselves some room to adapt and evolve, so when 2025 arrives, you’re not scrambling to make things happen—you’re confidently executing.

See you next week! 🙏

Take care,
