Reflecting on 2024: Earning or Learning?

As the new year rolls around and you prepare for a business breakthrough in 2025, it’s the perfect time to take stock of how 2024 ended.

Was it a year of earning or learning? Maybe it was even a year of both.

Despite a very tumultuous 12 months, here’s hoping your business’ bottom line ended more vigorously than it began.

But no matter how you’re closing the year, 2025 is the perfect time to breathe new life into your business.

Take a moment to look around. You’ll see countless messages competing for your attention, each asking, “Do you see me? Do you like me? Do you trust me? Will you do business with me?”

But here’s the twist: this seemingly universal approach misses the mark.

Business Breakthrough 2025. It’s Not About You—It’s All About Them.

Many businesses fall into the trap of self-promotion, highlighting their achievements and products. While this might offer a temporary boost, it doesn’t foster lasting loyalty. Your business’ true strength lies in your customers, your team, your partnerships, and the unique story behind your brand. Focusing solely on yourself squanders these assets.

Believe it or not, you already possess everything necessary to make your business extraordinary. Your loyal customers, talented team, partnerships, and the unique story behind your brand—these are your secret weapons. However, if you only talk about yourself, you’re not leveraging these assets. You’re wasting them.

Examples of Brands That Do It Right: Patagonia and Apple

Consider brands such as Patagonia and Apple. They don’t just sell products; they embed themselves in their customers’ identities. Patagonia enthusiasts see themselves as environmental stewards, while Apple users view themselves as innovators.

Simply put, good brands make people feel good, but great brands make people feel good about themselves.

That’s worth repeating. Good brands make people feel good, but great brands make people feel good about themselves.

The Strategic Path Forward: The C.E.O. Framework

To align emotionally with your audience, implement this simple C.E.O. Framework:

C — Craft a message that resonates with your customers, making them think, “This is about me!”

E — Elevate interactions to create experiences that boost their self-perception.

O — Organize systems to consistently deliver on your new strategy.
