Here’s 12 questions you MUST ask yourself - before the start of 2024

It’s the final week of the working year. Which is a great time reflect and ask yourself 

‘How did it go? Could I have done better?’

I love reflecting on the previous year before thinking about the year ahead.

Often in life and careers, we leap into looking forward and setting plans… without first looking back.

The problem is, if we don’t reflect first, we THINK we know what we want focus on next year. But in reality, what we really want is different.

The only way to honestly uncover what you need and want in 2024 is to first look back on 2023. 

How do you do that? 

Well, I’ve got 12 questions that I ask my clients to reflect on at the end of the year. These 12 questions really helps them to see things clearly. 

And I’m going to share them with you.

With each question you should sit and think about it deeply for at least for a few minutes. Some answers might come quickly. But you should still spend time pondering on each question.

Write the answers down by hand - this also helps your brain to process the question. In the answers to these questions, lies the answers to what you should focus on in 2024.

Here they are:

1. What does a successful life look like to you, right now?
2. Are you giving an honest attempt to create the success in your life that you are looking for? If no, why? If yes, how?
3. Which ONE area of your life are you making most progress? And which ONE are you making the least?
4. What is the most significant thing that happened to you in 2023? What areas of your life did this most effect?
5. What is the one thing you wish you’d spent more time on this year?
6. What can you do today that you were not capable of a year ago?
7. What are the stories you tell yourself that currently limit your growth?
8. Is there anything you are ‘stuck’ on in your life? What needs to happen for you to come ‘unstuck’?
9. Who did you spend the most time with in 2023? Was their impact on your life + or -?
10. What was the one ‘thing’ that made you most happy this year?
11. What would you rate the year overall out of 10? What needed to happen for it to be 10/10?
12. If you are sitting here in Dec 2024, what would you like to have happened in the year?
