Welcome

Hello everybody, welcome back to the Treat Your Business podcast. If you’re listening on or around 31st December, you might be feeling a mix of relief, gratitude, and that quiet pressure about what’s next. This episode is intentionally gentle. It’s not about big aggressive goals, hustling into the new year, or adding more to your already full plate. Instead, it’s about reflection, perspective, and choosing how you want your life to feel, not just what you want to achieve.

Episode Summary

In this episode, I’m sharing the end of year framework I use with my clients (and for myself) to reset without judgement. We start by looking back with evidence, because when you’re tired your brain will tell you you haven’t done enough. Then we look at the cost of the year, because exhaustion is not a personal failing, it’s information.

Key Takeaways

• Pause before you plan. Reflection is essential if you want next year to feel different.
• Look back with evidence: use your calendar, photos, and journal to remember what you actually did.
• Notice the cost: where did your energy go, what drained you, and what nourished you?
• Score your life areas out of 10 to spot what needs attention in the year ahead.
• Most goal setting starts with Have (results), but sustainable change starts with Be (who you are becoming).
• Ask “how do I want to feel?” first, then let your actions and goals follow.
• Choose a word of the year as a simple filter for decisions and boundaries.
