Episode Description
Most people wait until New Year's Eve, grab a glass of champagne, and try to plan a whole year in sixty seconds. That's not you.
High achievers plan in November. They settle things before Thanksgiving, enjoy December, and hit the ground running in January.
Today I'm walking you through the first steps I take my private clients through. No wheel of life. No stack of goals you'll never reach. Just a debrief brief, a look at what you'll create, and two simple lists I call the no mores and the many mores. Grab a pen and think.
Featured Story
The government keeps handing me titles. Two years ago they said I was a senior citizen. I told them to get out of my face.
Now they say I hit full retirement age on November 21st. Evidently that means I get to stop—recliner and crosswords for me.
It's not even possible.
Last year's word of the year was six-seven. I'm turning sixty-seven. This year's word is maxing, so I'm thinking about some six-seven maxing.
That takes planning too. Your mindset changes at this stage. I'm asking what more fun I can have and who else I can impact. That's why I'm changing the show. I'm not retiring. I'm rewiring.
Important Points
Plan in November. Settle the big decisions before the holidays, rest in December, and start January already moving.
Start with a retrospective debrief. Write a page on how this year went and how you felt, not just which goals you hit.
Skip the values list up front. If you haven't done the awareness work, you'll make up your values and get them wrong.
Memorable Quotes
You can't make a whole year plan in 60 seconds with a glass of champagne and a girl on your arm on New Year's Eve.
You filled out your wheel of life last year, and it ran you over this year. So I think differently about planning.
In year-end planning, we don't want to do anything about it. We want to create on top of it. That's the difference.
Scott's Three-Step Approach
Look over your shoulder at this year and write a paragraph or a page about what happened, why, and how it felt to you.
Use that debrief to decide what you'll create in 2027. Don't rush into action yet. Build something new on top of it.
List your no mores, the things that are gone for good, then your many mores, the things you love and want more of.
