Unfinished Business: How to Finish What You Started and Build Momentum in 2025

Unfinished Business: How to Finish What You Started and Build Momentum in 2025

It’s the start of a new year, and everywhere you look, people are setting goals, making resolutions, and planning for the future. But let me ask you—what happened to last year’s goals? Did you check off every box, or are you carrying a few things over? If you’re like me, you’ve got some unfinished business. And guess what? That’s okay.

Here’s the truth: life isn’t a series of clean starts and stops. It’s a journey. Your progress doesn’t disappear because the calendar flipped. You’re not starting from scratch—you’re continuing the work.

Why Goals Go Unfinished

Last year, I challenged myself to step out of my comfort zone. I went to Podcast Summit, interviewed strangers, and recorded content I’d been dreaming about for months. Even though I waited to the final day of the conference to do it...I did it—and it felt amazing! But you know what I didn’t do? Share those interviews.

Why? Perfectionism. Overthinking. Sound familiar? Sometimes it’s not about what we didn’t do but why we didn’t do it. When we identify those blockers, we can finally move forward.

What Does Unfinished Business Look Like for You?

Is there something you left undone last year? Maybe it’s a fitness goal, a business project, or a conversation you need to have. Whatever it is, don’t dismiss it. Instead, commit to finishing it this year.

Here’s what I’ve learned:

• Your progress counts. Don’t act like you’re starting over. Build on the steps you’ve already taken.
• Stop overthinking. Perfect is a myth. Done is better than perfect.
• Make time work for you. Goals don’t all have to start on January 1st. Spread them out and tackle them at a pace that works for your life.

Encouragement for the Journey

Here’s my challenge to you—and to myself: stop treating unfinished business like it's failure. It’s not. It’s part of the process. Reflect on what you didn’t finish, understand why, and take the next step.

You’re not behind. You’re growing, learning, and becoming stronger every day. Let’s keep moving forward, together.

What’s Your Next Step?

Drop a comment and share one thing you’re determined to finish this year. Let’s hold each other accountable and keep building momentum in 2025.

If this post inspired you, share it with someone who needs a little encouragement to keep going. Together, we can initiate change and turn our unfinished business into success.
