Why I think NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS are a joke!

"Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions.

Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual." ~ Mark Twain

🎉 Goodbye 2024, Hello 2025! But First… Let’s Talk Resolutions 👋

Ah, the end of the year. That bittersweet, reflective time when we find ourselves scanning the horizon of what’s to come, pen in hand, scribbling down shiny new resolutions in our fancy, colour-coded planners (or is that just me?).

Now, you’d think that, as a Money Coach for professional women, I’d be standing tall on my metaphorical soapbox, waving glittery pom-poms in the air, and shouting, “Let’s go team! Big resolutions for 2025!”

But here’s the thing—plot twist—I’m not.

Let’s have a real chat about resolutions, shall we? They’re kind of like those stunning spiderwebs you stumble upon in the early morning mist. Delicate. Shimmery. A little magical. But the second the sun comes out or a breeze rolls in? Poof! Gone.

And let’s not sugarcoat it—most resolutions don’t even survive until mid-January. Ouch.

Why? Because resolutions are often just a wish list of hopes and dreams. You know the type: “I’ll finally start saving more,” or, “I’ll sort out my finances this year.” Lovely sentiments, truly. But when life throws its inevitable curveballs (and it will, oh it will), hopes and dreams alone aren’t enough.

Here’s What Changed My Perspective

Years ago, someone said something to me that hit like a lightning bolt:

“A goal is simply a dream with a date.”

And suddenly, it all made sense.

Resolutions are kind of like wishing on a star. But goals? Goals are like planting seeds in rich, fertile soil. They require effort, intention, and a bit of patience—but, oh, the growth when you nurture them!

So, here’s my big, bold take: Ditch the resolutions.

Let’s go deeper.

What If 2025 Was Different?

Here’s what I see far too often: women, brilliant and capable women, declaring this will be the year they finally tackle their money stuff… only to quietly shuffle it onto the growing “someday” pile.

You know the one I’m talking about, right? That pile of unfinished dreams and “I’ll get to it later” plans. The one gathering dust in a corner while the chaos of life marches on.

But what if 2025 wasn’t just another “someday” year?

Seriously, take a moment and imagine this:

• Facing your money fears head-on instead of avoiding them like you avoid that one cupboard full of who-knows-what.

• Building a fearless, rock-solid relationship with your finances—one where you call the shots, not your bank balance.

• Creating a life that doesn’t just meet your dreams but wildly exceeds them.

Now picture this: You’re stepping into 2025 not with flimsy, easily-forgotten resolutions, but with a clear, actionable roadmap. A plan that feels less like pushing a boulder uphill and more like a steady, flowing river, gently guiding you forward.

Doesn’t that sound… freeing?

Let’s Map It Out Together

Because I know how capable you are (yes, I’m talking to you, sitting there doubting herself—cut that out), I’ve created something just for you.

It’s called Map the GAP, my free goal-setting workbook. Think of it as your step-by-step guide to turning those “someday” money dreams into actions you can actually achieve.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to start.

No More Puff-of-Smoke Resolutions

This isn’t about ticking all the boxes or chasing perfection. It’s about showing up for yourself, even when the road gets bumpy. Because, let’s face it, life sometimes feels more like a rocky hike than a smooth highway (am I right?).

But here’s the thing—those rocks don’t have to stop you. With the right tools, you can step over them, one by one, at your own pace.

So, no more dreamy resolutions that evaporate like the morning dew. Let’s make 2025 the year where you create something real, something lasting, something yours.

I believe in you. Truly, I do. And—if you’re honest with yourself—you know deep down that you’ve got what it takes too.

So, are you in? Let’s make some magic happen. 🌟
