Did you make any promises to yourself in 2025?
Did you achieve them?
Did you even get close?
I did. And I even wrote about it in the first Quick PINT of the year.
My Impossible Possibility.
Finish my book on time and to the quality and originality I want.
I didn’t do it.
In January, I attended a workshop with Christina Langdon about setting these Impossible Possibilities. The idea is simple. Set a goal that feels beyond reach, then look at who you would need to become to achieve it.
But the real lesson, which I only understood as the year unfolded, isn’t about the final result. It’s about how the attempt changes you.
This year changed me.
– I built a series of custom GPTs that now keep my business more focused and help others develop their brand for free.
– I moved from funnel marketing to content marketing and now feel more connected to my audience.
– I created a more coherent platform for my writing and refreshed my website so it feels alive again.
– I delivered more work for clients from the UK, USA and Canada.
So yes, I missed the Impossible Possibility.
But it no longer feels impossible.
It’s simply next year’s goal.
Finish my book.
With only a few weeks left, don’t worry about the promises that slipped.
Look at what you did do, what you learned, and how it shaped you.
That’s what you take into 2026.
Enjoy your Quick PINT
