Set Good Goals for 2025 Using the RAISE Principles ✨ by Mark
Are you ready to make 2025 your best year yet? Start strong with goals that are Results-focused, Annual, Inspirational, Specific, and Energising—the RAISE approach!
Here’s how to apply each principle:
1️⃣ Results-focused Define what you want to achieve in measurable terms. Instead of saying, "Grow my audience," be clear about the results: "Increase my subscriber list by 1,000 new contacts by the end of Q1." Knowing what success looks like makes it easier to stay motivated and track progress.
2️⃣ Annual Think big-picture, with the year-end in mind, each quarter and each month set SMART goals that take you there..
3️⃣ Inspirational Goals should feel exciting and meaningful! Choose goals that challenge and inspire you, like “Enter a New Market” or “Fund my Australia Trip” Inspiration fuels commitment, which is key to overcoming inevitable challenges along the way.
4️⃣ Specific Make your goals concrete. Instead of aiming to "engage more on social media," try something precise like "post three value-driven LinkedIn articles per month." Specificity removes ambiguity, helping you take focused, effective actions.
5️⃣ Energising Goals should spark energy and enthusiasm, not drain you. Set targets that you’re passionate about, such as “collaborate with three new partners to expand reach,” which feels motivating and achievable. If a goal feels draining, consider reworking it to make it more engaging.
Taking this RAISE approach is a powerful way to bring your vision to life and make measurable progress right from the start of 2025. Ready to set RAISE goals for 2025?

Email Overwhelm & My Own Quick Fix by Suzanne
This week all six of my Gmail accounts decided to pack up at once, making it impossible to send a message except via a third-party plugin called Gmass, which was less than ideal.
For months, a techy friend of mine, has been telling me to consolidate all my accounts into one, which I have resisted. But flitting from one Gmail tab to another is, I have come to realise, incredibly time consuming and totally unproductive. And I’ve been doing it for years, so why change?
In any case, the only remedy, I discovered was to power up my Apple Mail account, load all my emails into it and then watch as thousands of emails propagated into one. Now, instead of flitting from one account to another, they’re all showing up in one place and my days of tab surfing are over.
How many of us cling to a way of working that is time consuming instead of a) finding a quicker way or b) delegating it to someone who can do it better?
Until next time,
Suzanne & Mark
