Why You’re Stuck

Nothing is more frustrating than feeling everything and everyone is moving fast but you seem stuck in a place. Maybe you are even consistent at what you do but can’t see growth signs. I’ve been there. So, I can relate everywhere. Let’s spill the tea on that.

It’s a new month and I have a habit of reflecting on things I did right, could have done better, and should have never done in the previous month. It keeps me accountable and helps me see things from a different perspective. Reflection is something a handful of us don’t do. But how can we become better if we don’t keep tabs?

Reflection isn’t just to carry out some self-examination, it’s also a morale booster. In January, I set huge goals but I also made sure to back it up with action. Even if I didn’t achieve that goal, I was close to getting it. I like to say my 2025 began in December 2024. From quitting a toxic job to starting afresh and investing in my well-being, I set the pace for this year. And it’s not too late for you to start. Do you have clarity on what you want to achieve this year? Quarterly goals?

Goals aren’t just fancy nice-to-haves. They give you something to look forward to. Something to excite you. It gives you clarity, like the thrill of playing a video game to win. Set goals and back them up with action.

Building in public is also a great hack to beat accountability. It’s like buy 1 get 2 free– a community and visibility. As someone who is a product of building in public, I say this with so much confidence. It can never go out of style.

Let’s wrap it up here. If you’re wondering why things haven’t changed then maybe you should try something different. It’s 2025 and it’s time to be bold and confident about YOU and your skills.
