Happy New Year! As we step into 2025, there’s something special about the energy that comes with the new year—a fresh start, a new chapter, and an opportunity to set intentional goals.
But as we make our resolutions, it’s easy to get caught in the cycle of setting many goals, only to feel overwhelmed and lose focus halfway through the year.
This year, I want to encourage you to approach your goals differently. Instead of creating an endless list of resolutions, focus on a few key areas that truly matter to you—areas that will bring you lasting fulfillment and peace.
This is where the 9-6-3 Mantra comes in—a simple yet powerful framework for defining, organizing, and achieving meaningful goals.
WHY THE 9-6-3 MANTRA WORKS: SIMPLIFYING YOUR GOALS FOR GREATER IMPACT
The 9-6-3 Mantra is about simplifying your resolutions and focusing on what truly matters. Here’s how it works:
1. 3 KEY FOCUS AREAS:
Instead of spreading yourself thin with dozens of goals, choose three main focus areas for the year. These should be aligned with your core values and purpose.
What are the three most important things you want to work on in 2025?
These could be personal growth, health, relationships, career, or contributions to your community.
2. 6 ACTIONABLE TASKS:
Once you’ve identified your three main focus areas, break them down into six key tasks that will help you make tangible progress in each area.
These tasks should be specific, actionable, and meaningful.
For example, if one of your goals is to improve health, a task could be committing to regular exercise, or preparing healthier meals.
3. 9 MILESTONES TO CELEBRATE:
The 9-6-3 Mantra encourages you to celebrate your progress throughout the year. Break your goals down into nine milestones—achievements that mark your progress toward each focus area.
Celebrating small wins keeps you motivated and reminds you that the journey is just as important as the destination.
HOW THE 9-6-3 MANTRA HELPS YOU STAY FOCUSED
What makes the 9-6-3 Mantra so effective is its simplicity. It allows you to set intentional goals without overwhelming yourself.
By focusing on three areas that truly matter, creating six achievable tasks, and celebrating nine milestones, you’ll make steady, meaningful progress throughout the year without burning out.
THE POWER OF INTENTION: ALIGNING YOUR ACTIONS WITH YOUR VALUES
Setting goals is important, but what’s even more important is ensuring those goals are aligned with your core values.
As I share in my book The Power of AIM, the key to achieving true success lies in Awareness, Investment, and Motivation.
The 9-6-3 Mantra helps you stay aware of what truly matters, invest your time and energy in the right actions, and stay motivated by celebrating the small wins along the way.
