Think Big, Get Unstuck, and Build a BIG 2025: A Step-by-Step Plan
By: Jon Dwoskin
As the year comes to a close, there’s no better time to reflect on where you are, clear the clutter (physically and mentally), and get laser-focused on building a big year ahead. Whether you’re in sales, management, or leadership, feeling stuck at year-end is common. It’s easy to get bogged down by unfinished tasks, lingering stress, or that nagging sense that you could have done more.
But here’s the truth: thinking big starts small. It’s the daily actions—those small habits and intentional steps—that compound over time and create massive change.
I work with people who feel stuck and help them get unstuck, and what I’ve learned is this: getting unstuck isn’t about overhauling everything overnight. It’s about aligning your mindset, habits, and systems so that every day you’re building momentum. This blog will show you how to finish the year strong, get clear on your 2025 goals, and make small daily changes that fuel your success while keeping you balanced and energized.
Step 1: Reflect on 2024 – The Foundation of Thinking Big
You can’t move forward effectively if you don’t understand where you’ve been. Reflection helps you see the bigger picture and uncover what’s working, what’s not, and what’s possible.
Actions:
- Acknowledge What’s Keeping You Stuck
- Celebrate the Small Wins
- Learn from Your Setbacks
- Ask the Right Questions
Step 2: Clean Up and Clear Out
Getting unstuck starts with creating space—physically, mentally, and emotionally. When your environment is cluttered, your mind often follows.
Actions:
- Declutter Your Workspace
- Tie Up Loose Ends
- Do a Mental Detox
- Simplify Your Priorities
Step 3: Build Your 2025 Plan – Think Big, Start Small
Success doesn’t come from random acts of effort—it comes from strategic, consistent action. Your 2025 plan should stretch you but also feel achievable.
Actions:
- Define Your Big Goals
- Break It Down
- Create Habits That Compound
- Focus on Growth Opportunities
- Track Your Metrics
Step 4: Recalibrate and Recharge – Get Unstuck by Resetting
Feeling stuck often stems from burnout, overwork, or disconnection. Getting back to center—emotionally, mentally, and physically—unlocks your ability to think big and execute consistently.
Actions:
- Build Space to Unplug
- Create a Morning Routine That Centers You
- Move Daily
- Practice Mindfulness
- Prioritize Rest
Step 5: Build Momentum for a BIG 2025
The key to thinking big is taking consistent action while staying grounded. Your mindset matters as much as your plan.
Actions:
- Start Small, Stay Consistent
- Set a Theme for 2025
- Visualize Your Success
- Commit to Personal Growth
- Celebrate Progress
Small Steps, Big Results
Getting unstuck and thinking big isn’t about waiting for the perfect moment or making one dramatic change. It’s about taking small, intentional steps every day that compound into massive results over time.
By reflecting on 2024, clearing out the clutter, building a solid plan for 2025, and prioritizing personal balance, you can close this year strong and make 2025 your best year yet.
Think big, start small, and take daily steps to build the business—and life—you’ve always envisioned.
THINK BIG!
