Today’s Note is an assignment. I want you to pick a word for ‘25 that will act as your North Star for the year. I know it’s the time of the year for short-lived resolutions and half-assed commitments–I speak from experience, but I’ve found that having a word, or a theme, for a year has helped me stay focused for the entire year. Your word could encompass your resolutions; for example, my word for last year was “discipline”. If your goal were to lose weight, work out more, etc., discipline would still guide you toward that goal—focus on the behavior or character trait, not the activity. So pick a theme and share it with someone—you can share it with me by just hitting reply (or DM’ing me if you’re reading this on LinkedIn). My word for ‘25 is “patience.” I’ll share more in the coming days about why I chose it–or better yet, it chose me. JC |

Complexity sells. There is no shortage of complex systems to help you achieve any goal you may have. It seems the more complex, the more sophisticated, the more expensive. I’m not convinced the results are any better than a simple approach based on fundamentals we all know exist. Want to change your body composition? Probably just need to track what you’re eating, lift weights, walk more, and sleep better. Want to improve your financial picture? Probably need to review cash flow, identify...
Time. Energy. Money. These are three currencies in life. Money is the most obvious. Time and energy might be more valuable and even more scarce. Are you aware of how you’re spending your time and energy? Is it aligned with your Authentic Life? See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
