One Year from Right Now: What Will Really Matter?

Last year was a wake-up call for me - as someone who trains Entrepreneurs.

I looked back and realized that despite all my talk about consistency, repetition, and staying focused on the goal, I barely made any progress on my own YouTube channel. I was busy helping other business owners, saying “yes” too often, and letting distractions steal my time—the one resource I can’t get back. That’s why on January 1st, I wrote this on my whiteboard: “Will this matter a year from now?” Since then, I’ve been intentional, prioritizing deep work, cutting out low-value activities, and protecting every hour like my future depends on it—because it does.

I’ve seen how easy it is to fall into the trap of perfectionism, focusing on things like branding, logos, and tiny details that feel productive but don’t actually move the business forward. I used to believe that being “busy” meant I was building something, but I learned that unless I’m focused on high-value activities, I’m just spinning my wheels. I’ve worked with other Entrepreneurs who got stuck also—chasing perfect fonts or getting drained by negative team members. But what matters most isn’t how much you do—it’s whether what you’re doing is creating real results, real output, and real value.

I’ve learned that success isn’t about how many hours you work—it’s about how many of those hours actually "work for you". I track my time like a calendar-obsessed person, eliminate energy drainers, and treat every distraction like it’s stealing from my future. And because of that shift? I’m already 25,000 subscribers closer to my goal. The truth is simple: a year from now, you’ll either be way ahead—or exactly where you are right now. I made my choice. Now it’s your turn.
