 As the year winds down, many of us start looking back, asking ourselves, “Did I really make progress this year?” It’s easy to focus on what didn’t go as planned or to feel like you’ve fallen short. From what I’ve observed, we’re often too quick to dismiss our wins, big or small, without giving ourselves the credit we deserve. But when you pause to really reflect, you might be surprised at how much you’ve accomplished. Take Ian, for example. When Ian and I started working together, he felt stuck. He had set some ambitious goals for 2024, but as December rolled around, he found himself saying, “What was the point? I didn’t hit half of them.” He was so focused on what he hadn’t achieved that he couldn’t see the bigger picture.  During one of our sessions, I asked him to walk me through his year. At first, he shrugged and said, “Nothing special.” But as we talked, a different story emerged. Ian had completed a certification course he’d been putting off for years, expanded his professional network, and—here’s the kicker—finally started taking weekends off. For someone who used to work seven days a week, that was huge. Yet Ian dismissed these wins as unimportant because they weren’t part of his original plan. That’s something I’ve seen time and again: we get so caught up in chasing specific goals that we forget to celebrate the unexpected progress along the way. When Ian finally took a step back, he saw how much he had actually grown—not just in his career but in how he prioritized his time and energy. Sure, he didn’t hit every goal, but he built stronger client relationships and laid a solid foundation for future growth. And isn’t that what success is really about?
In my experience, this kind of honest, balanced reflection can be incredibly powerful. It helps you recognize your progress and gives you clarity on where to go next. As 2024 comes to a close, take a moment to look back—not just at what you did but at who you became. Celebrate the wins, learn from the stumbles, and embrace the lessons. Growth is rarely perfect, but it’s always worth the effort. So, what did you really achieve this year? My guess: a lot more than you think. Revisit, Reframe, and Celebrate Your 2024 Story!
