Three Questions for Manufacturing a Sexy 2025
Just like that, 2025 is rolling! Did you make any resolutions for the new year?
More and more, I hear less about resolutions—and maybe for a good reason! While many people like to start the new year with big, bold resolutions, most people falter early in the year. January 19th has been declared the unofficial “Quitter’s Day,” when most people start to lose steam in their resolutions, and around 80% of people have completely abandoned their resolutions by February.
How to Shift Your Mindset in 2025
Instead of focusing on resolutions, shift your mindset to think more about goal setting. I made this change for myself in 2016 when my cousin my cousin Rudy Gheysen gave me the now-famous book, Start with Why by Simon Sinek. That year, I also started setting goals, with a focus on my strengths, my stand-out areas, and my big sexy ideas!
If you want to make your own strengths and big ideas stand out in 2025, ask yourself these three questions:
- What Makes You Sexy?
What is sexy about you that others see? What do others see in you that you might not recognize or leverage yourself?
- What Does Great Look Like in 2025?
Set a few, manageable goals for your year and think about how your strengths can fuel and support these goals.
- Does Your Calendar Support Your Goals?
In a busy and solution-focused industry like manufacturing, your calendar becomes your truth teller of what is important to you. Every morning, take a pause to look at your calendar. Ask yourself “does how I spend my time reflect what is important to me?”
By reflecting on your mindset and asking yourself questions like these, you’ll be able to go into the new year ready to show up as a strong, sexy leader for your team!
