Our Hot Tips for Reaching Your Goals

2025 is knocking, and it’s time to get those big freelance dreams out of your head and into action. Whether you’re aiming for sky-high income goals, finally taking that dreamy month-long vacation, or levelling up your skills, this is your year to shine. But here’s the thing: goals without a plan are just vibes (and we all know vibes alone don’t pay the bills). So this week, let’s get those dreams out of your head and onto paper in an effective way.

💅🏽 Manifest That Freelance Glow Up

Setting goals for your freelance business in 2025 is like planning a road trip—you need a clear destination, a route to follow, and plenty of room for unexpected adventures. Start by reflecting on 2024. What went well? What didn’t? Did you hit your income targets or finally land that dream client? These insights are like your GPS coordinates, helping you shape the direction for 2025. Think big picture: Are you hoping to grow your client base, master a new skill, or carve out more time for yourself? Clarity is your bestie here—define what success looks like for you and jot it down somewhere you’ll see it often.

👩🏽‍💻 Get Those Goals Organized

To take this a step further, try mapping your goals visually. We’re big fans of mind maps for this because they turn those swirling thoughts into something clear and actionable. Our go-to tool is MindNode, and they’ve got a free downloadable mind map template designed specifically for goal setting each month of 2025. It’s perfect for breaking down your big-picture aspirations into smaller, actionable goals for each month. Whether it’s setting income milestones, scheduling professional development, or planning a well-deserved break, this template makes it easy to see your year at a glance. #partner

Please note: You must download the MindNode app first to access the free mind map and discount.

✨ Stay on Track

Remember to check in with yourself regularly. Goals aren’t meant to be set and forgotten—they’re living, breathing things that might need tweaking along the way. Schedule a monthly “CEO date” with yourself to review your progress, celebrate wins, and adjust as needed. And don’t be afraid to dream big—2025 could be the year you hit milestones you didn’t even think were possible. The key is staying consistent, staying flexible, and keeping your eyes on the prize. You've got this!

P.s Please remember in the pursuit of your big picture goals, it’s so important you look after yourself and your health first and foremost <3

Working Hard, Hardly Working

We love a good podcast here at Freelancing Females, especially those that show the good, the bad and the ugly of business. Working Hard, Hardly Working is our fave podcast when we want a little inspo for our own biz or motivation to improve our personal lives.

Rocket Money

I am determined to have good financial habits this year and to kickstart this New Years resolution, I am tidying up my finances. Seriously, I had no idea how many random subscriptions I was buying until I downloaded Rocket Money. I love how they automatically find and cancel any random subscriptions you don’t want and help you budget to reach your goals.
