Yo Yo! Reader,

Don't worry! This is not the last newsletter for the year... (next week will be, before I take some time off).

As we wrap up the year, let’s take a moment to pause and reflect. Whether you’re happy with where you are or feeling like things could have gone differently, now’s the perfect time to recalibrate and move forward with purpose.

Actually I like to start this process 6 weeks before the end of the year, but it's not to late to start to reflect now, to kick start your new year...

are you with me?

🤷🏻‍♂️ Life & Thoughts

The below is a SIMPLE exercise you can take to reflect on the year to...

1. Appreciate the journey
2. Take the lessons and understand the takeaways
3. Prepare for the new journey ahead

So the below are some questions and prompts to help you HELP YOURSELF...

Reflection: Where Are You Now?

• Are you happy? If yes, what’s working? If no, what’s missing?
• Look back at the year: What did you wish had happened, and why didn’t it?
• Ask yourself: With what I know now, what could I have done differently?

Lessons Learned: Growth is Messy, but Necessary

• Progress comes with setbacks and mistakes—don’t shy away from them.
• What worked? What didn’t? How have you grown this year?
• Use these insights to improve, not to dwell.

Turn Reflection Into Action

• What’s one thing you can do today to move closer to your goals?
• Break big goals into small, manageable steps with clear timelines.
• Align your actions with the life you truly want—not just what sounds good.

For the Year Ahead

• Forget "New Year, new me." Instead, commit to living intentionally every day.
• Consistency beats perfection. Take small actions daily and let them compound over time.
• Remember: Progress starts now, not on January 1st.

Reflection is only useful if it leads to action. Celebrate your wins, adapt when needed, and keep moving forward. Progress over perfection... WINS every single time.

💰 Business

Just to be clear - I am not here to share with you how to build your business. I am here sharing how I am building mine.

December is shaping up to be a big surprise...

REVENUE is UP!

but PROFITS are DOWN...

This is expected as I have loaded into this month some additional expenses, so it may mean a DIP in this month, but better smooth sailing for the new year (2nd half FY25).

Actually we hit a NEW milestone today: 9-Dec-2024

Also, I started a new Business: a Product Listing Service​

Our Product Listing Service ProListAssist will free up your time, allowing you to focus on scaling your business and doing what you love, or to simply buy back time. By outsourcing the tedious task of listing items, you can achieve more by working less.
