Over the past year my 3 boys and I have been planning a ski trip to Japan, 2 weeks in Hakuba on the main island of Honshu, and then moving on to ski Niseko, Hokkaido. I chased my wife to Whistler, BC many years ago to ski and we spent several years skiing around BC, Alberta and Europe before starting a family. We introduced our 3 boys to skiing when they were only 3 years old and they have never looked back. Over the years we’d go skiing in Banff, Lake Louise, Panorama, Okanagan resorts in BC, Chamonix in France and even Australia and New Zealand.

We ended up buying a ski chalet in Whistler when the boys were pre-teen and teenagers, often picking them up on Friday afternoons after school heading up to Whistler to ski the weekend and then drop them back at school early on a Monday morning. Skiing has been a big part of our family life.
You may have noticed that every year I have a theme for my One Page Plan. The past couple of years has been Africa, 2023 climbing Mt Kilimanjaro and Mt Kenya in 2024. Yes, you guessed it this year the theme is skiing the deep dry fluffy powder in Japan and drinking the odd Sake and Sapporo beer.
Building lasting memories and creating fun times with family, friends and clients is what life is all about for me. Spending quality time with those that are close to us, especially at this time of year is too important to miss.
When you are setting your goals for 2025, remember to share and discuss them with your loved ones, family, friends and clients. Ask them what their goals are, and encourage them to use the One Page Plan for their goal setting.

For the past few years, many of you have used my One-Page Plan to set your focus, clarify priorities, and map out a meaningful year ahead. It’s become a trusted tool to reflect on where we’ve been and to plan where we’re heading.
If you’ve been following along, you already know how powerful this can be. Even if you’re new to the concept, or this is your first year to jump in and start. As 2024 draws to a close, it’s the perfect moment to reflect on the highs, lows, and lessons of the past year.

With that in mind here’s your refreshed One-Page Plan for 2025. This powerful framework is designed to help you zero in on what truly matters, cut through the noise, and take meaningful action in the year ahead.

“Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.” – Pablo Picasso
Why Bother With A One-Page Plan?
Let’s be real, most plans get tossed aside because they’re too long, too complicated, take too long to complete and let’s face it—who has time for that? Enter the One-Page Plan. Heading into 2025, imagine having a laser-focused blueprint that keeps you sharp, on track, and ready to crush your goals. This isn’t about fluff or overthinking; it’s about distilling your vision, priorities, and actions onto one page that you’ll actually use.
Here’s why this tool is a game-changer:
- It Sharpens Your Focus - Cut the noise and zero in on what truly matters.
- It Keeps You Accountable - A clear plan means no excuses—track it, tweak it, and make it happen!
- It Simplifies the Chaos - Forget drowning in to-do lists. Three key goals, three areas of your life—clear, actionable, and totally doable.
The Key Elements of the 2025 One-Page Plan
1. Your “Why”
At the heart of the plan is your “Why”—your core motivation and Purpose in life. This foundational statement drives everything else, keeping you aligned with your deeper reason for pursuing your goals. It’s the compass that ensures all your efforts are meaningful and aligned with what truly matters to you.
2. Core Values
Defining your Core Values is crucial for decision-making and maintaining integrity throughout the year. This plan encourages you to list the key principles that guide your actions, ensuring consistency and authenticity in all areas of life.
3. Personal Mission
Your Personal Mission Statement serves as a powerful declaration of who you are and what you aim to achieve. This concise statement is a reminder of your ultimate Vision for your life and keeps you grounded in your Purpose.
4. Focused Goal Categories
The Plan breaks down your broader Vision, within the three critical dimensions, into three actionable goals, enabling balanced growth across all areas of your life:
- Personal Goals: Reflect on what you want to achieve for yourself, such as improving relationships-spending more time with your spouse, pursuing a new hobby like swimming, or learning new skills-learning a language.
- Health & Wellness Goals: Set specific, measurable objectives to enhance your physical health and mental resilience. For example: Get outdoors for a bike ride every week, a hike every month, yoga three times a week…you get the drift!
- Business Goals: Define the key professional milestones or business outcomes you want to achieve. Maybe it’s a revenue target, client acquisition, training and development. Keep it short, sweet and realistic.
Ensure that your goals are all S.M.A.R.T. Goals; Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time sensitive.
5. Top 3 Goals
This section focuses on your Top 3 Goals for the Year across three critical dimensions:
- Personal: Goals related to personal growth, relationships, or hobbies.
- Health & Wellness: Objectives to improve your physical and mental well-being.
- Business: Professional targets that advance your career or business endeavors.
By narrowing down to three main priorities, you ensure laser-sharp focus without overwhelming yourself.
“The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short, but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark.” – Michelangelo
