Avoid This Trap When Setting Goals for 2025
from Unstuck with Jay Abbasi · host Jay Abbasi
As we approach the end of the year, it’s time to reflect on 2024 and set meaningful goals for 2025. In this solo episode, Jay discusses a common mistake people make when setting goals: focusing solely on outcomes rather than the experiences they wish to create. Jay introduces a three-step framework to help you reflect on the past year, identify the experiences you want in the coming year, and align your goals with those desired experiences. This approach emphasizes life as a series of enriching moments rather than a checklist of accomplishments. Jay also outlines seven key life categories—career / business, finances, personal growth, relationships, hobbies / free time, health / well-being, and community—that serve as a foundation for reflection and planning. With practical insights and a clear process, this episode equips you to set intentional, fulfilling goals for the new year. Notable Quotes “Life is a series of experiences. It’s not a series of outcomes.” — Jay Abbasi “Start with the experiences you want to have, and then set the goals that will allow you to create those moments.” — Jay Abbasi Resources and Links Jay Abbasi Website: https://jayabbasi.me/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jayabbasi/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayabbasi_/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thejayabbasi/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jayabbasipodcast Join Us Next Time In Monday’s episode, Jay introduces Edward, the CFO of one of the largest insurance companies in the U.S. Edward is a single father caring for a son with developmental challenges, and the pressures at home have begun to affect his leadership at work.
