Welcome to your 10-minute guide to success! With just 16 days left in 2024, this is your opportunity to reflect, reset, and build momentum for a prosperous 2025. This step-by-step guide will help you take control of your finances, set clear goals, and create a follow-up system to stay on track.

Step 1: Reflect on Ending 2024 Strong (Day 1-2)

"Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves." – 2 Corinthians 13:5

Reflection is key to understanding where you’ve been and where you want to go.

• Actionable Steps:

  1. Spend 30 minutes listing out your wins, losses, and lessons learned in 2024. Focus on financial habits, accomplishments, and setbacks.

  2. Ask yourself: What worked well? What needs improvement?

• Tracking:Use your 2025 Personal Planner to write these reflections. Dedicate a page to “2024 in Review” to keep this insight handy as you plan.

Step 2: Set Intentional Goals for 2025 (Day 3-4)

"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans." – Proverbs 16:3

Goals should inspire you but also be actionable and measurable.

• Actionable Steps:

  1. Write down one financial goal, one personal development goal, and one spiritual goal for 2025.

  2. Break each goal into smaller milestones. For example:

     • Financial Goal: Save $5,000 by the end of 2025.

       • Save $417/month or $14/day.

     • Spiritual Goal: Read the Bible daily.

       • Start with 10 minutes each morning and track progress in your planner.

• Tracking:Use the 30-Day Financial Planner for your financial goals and the 2025 Personal Planner for overall goal tracking. Set monthly check-ins to measure progress.

Step 3: Take the 16-Day Financial Challenge (Day 5-20)

"Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin." – Zechariah 4:10

Small daily habits can lead to lasting financial freedom.

• Actionable Steps:

  1. Budget Audit: Review your spending for December and identify areas to cut back.

  2. Daily Savings Habit: Save $5 a day or transfer any leftover change from purchases into a savings account.

  3. Meal Planning: Save money by cooking at home and minimizing dining out.

  4. Reduce Debt: Make an extra payment on your smallest debt to gain momentum.

• Tracking:Use the 30-Day Financial Planner to log daily savings, spending, and debt reduction progress. Add motivating Bible verses or affirmations to stay inspired.

Step 4: Plan for Accountability and Follow-Up (Day 21-24)

"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up." – 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Accountability helps you stay on track and committed.

• Actionable Steps:

  1. Find an accountability partner—someone who shares similar goals and can encourage you.

  2. Schedule bi-weekly check-ins for the first quarter of 2025 to review progress together.

  3. Use visual aids like a goal tracker or vision board to keep your milestones in sight.

• Tracking:Your 2025 Personal Planner has space for tracking weekly progress and scheduling accountability sessions. Create a section for feedback from your partner.

Step 5: Celebrate and Recommit (Day 25-31)

"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." – 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Recognize the progress you’ve made, no matter how small, and use it as motivation to keep going.

• Actionable Steps:

  1. Celebrate small wins by rewarding yourself in a budget-friendly way (e.g., a movie night or a special meal).

  2. Review your 2025 Personal Planner and set your first 90-day plan for January-March.

• Tracking:Note how you feel about your progress in your planner. Include gratitude entries to acknowledge God’s blessings and your hard work.

Ongoing Success: The Follow-Up System

Success isn’t about perfection—it’s about persistence. Here’s how to stay on track all year:
