Why I’m Setting No Goals for 2025 + Why I Paused Finance Content on YouTube | Focusing on my Habits

2025 is going to look very different for me, and here’s why:

✨ I’m not setting personal goals this year. Instead, I’m focusing on improving my daily habits, bit by bit. It’s less about ticking boxes and more about building a life that aligns with my values.

✨ I’ve decided to let go of vanity metrics on social media (goodbye, obsession with likes and follows 👋🏾) and focus on being consistent with content that feels authentic to me.

✨ I don’t see myself as an influencer, but rather as an educator and content creator in the finance niche. I’ve realised my mission goes beyond "influencing" and that I'm not an "influencer" in the traditional sense. So, it has helped me lower my expectations around content creation and community building.

✨ I spent my 20s hustling hard, but I’ve felt like I don’t have much to show for it (no multiple-figure investment portfolio or successful businesses). So, I'm taking my learnings from my 20s and focusing on doing better in my 30s.

✨ Why I stopped sharing finance content on YouTube: Honestly, I hit a wall and felt like such a fraud because I didn't have the results to show. But I’m excited to share more about my entrepreneurship journey and more finance content moving forward!

2025 is about letting go of perfection and focusing on intention. 🙌 If this resonates with you, let me know in the comments how you’re planning your year—or if you’re skipping goal-setting like me.
