In the past 3 years, I have been in the self-improvement rut and the business rut.

I jumped from business to business, ideas to ideas, and in the end, feeling lost.

Searching for more content to hype me up, running away from the real work, and creating excuses.

The funny thing is, during this period, I was able to generate $5000+ from dropshipping. And more from other businesses I didn’t track.

Most of the money I gained I used straight away to useless stuff.

But, I still stopped and went away to choose more, I thought It wasn’t good enough. There was a business that would get me richer faster and faster.

Well, I didn’t realize that I was doing so well at that time.

This story led me to this functional plan that I’m building for 2025, after loads of error and trial.

If I were starting over today, building my business in X, or any other platform, or even in another business.

This is the plan I would recommend to everyone.

Who’s this for?

This plan isn’t for everyone who doesn’t have a plan for 2025, this plan is for people who:

-feel lost.

-Want to build an online business

-Want to get out of the rut

-Want to have more time to enjoy with friends and family

-Want to build systems for life

If you identify with one of these, then the rest is for you.

This will be a 3-step plan to make it simple,

nothing exaggerated, nothing fancy, only focused on real work to get done.

0 — Step 0, weekly and year reflection

Before going on this, If you haven’t done it already,

go over your notion or your notebook and do your last year's reflection.

What did you learn?

How was your year?

What will you leave behind?

What are your values, goals, and vision for 2025?

Do have an idea?

Go wild on this, it will be your starting point.

After that, get used to the habit of doing weekly reflections.

Reflect weekly on what went well, and what didn’t in your week, and improve what you can if possible.

1: The rule of 3

Whatever you do daily, have 3 priorities for everything.

If you’re setting your goals, focus on 3 big goals

If you’re setting your daily tasks, focus on 3 priority tasks

If you have to choose, focus on 3 big choices

I used to overthink a lot, and these days, our minds receive a lot of information, so we have to develop the habit of focus.

I can’t focus on more than 3 big things a day, and I bet you can’t.

I’m not saying you can’t do it, but, you’ll excel better in 3 main priorities rather than 5–10 priorities.

Know what’s important for you, and build this habit for 2025.

With this, you’ll stop overthinking and feeling lost, you’ll know what’s essential and what you have to do.

2: The habit of sticking with it

I made over $5000 with dropshipping.

And then I quit because I thought another business is the one that would make me rich.

This mistake, made me lose millions of dollars I had ahead of my dropshipping career,

and in 2025, you’ll learn how to avoid it.

1st: Reflect on all business opportunities around the internet right now

2nd: See which one adapts to your reality (If you have a lot of money, time to invest or not) and other variables.

3rd: See the longevity and stick with it for 2/3 years

Well, if I stuck and worked hard for dropshipping, my life would be different, so this is for you too.

3: Build & Learn: with systems

If you build too much, you’ll feel overwhelmed.

If you learn too much, you’ll feel anxious.

And the truth is, we can’t go far with only learning, nor with only building.

We have to find a balance between the 2.

And for 2025, you’ll use systems.

You’ll learn less than you build. Because building brings more experience than learning.

So weekly instead of going out and consuming a lot of content.

You’ll focus on 2 long forms (content a week), watch them on the weekend if possible

This way, your mind can process the content you consume.

3 video courses a week, on the weekdays, and 3 review days (for applying what’s possible and what’s not)

Use your morning for building

Afternoon for learning

Evening for reflecting

Focus on not overwhelming yourself with content, nor with only action.

Build systems your way if you have to

Tying it all together

All you have to do for 2025 is:

-Do weekly reflections

Reflect each week and see what you failed and what you can’t improve

-The Rule of 3

Start focusing on 3 big priorities in everything you do

-The habit of sticking with it

Find a business idea that’s related to your reality and stick for 2/3 years

-Learn and build with systems

Don’t learn too much, nor build too much.

Find a balance of building more than learning, and build systems where you can learn your way.
