As the year winds down, the pressure to find answers and set massive goals ramps up. But what if the key to a successful new year isn't about finding answers right now, but about asking the right questions? In this special Solo Sunday episode, Brian Lofrumento pulls back the curtain on his personal end-of-year process. He shares a powerful list of reflective questions—sparked by his own conversations with his AI assistant—designed to help you pause, look inward, and gain the clarity you need to make your next year the best one yet. This isn't about planning; it's about percolating. Get ready to uncover the hidden lessons, overlooked opportunities, and mindset shifts from the past year that will fuel your future.

✨ Why This Matters for You

This reflective practice is the foundation for intentional growth:

It’s a break from the constant hustle and firefighting, creating space for strategic thought.
It helps you identify the limiting beliefs you need to retire and the powerful new ones you need to adopt.
It reveals the "invisible wins" and low-hanging fruit you've been overlooking in your business.
It provides deep clarity on what truly drained you versus what energized you, so you can build better systems.
It ensures your goals for the new year are aligned with who you are becoming, not just who you were.

🦃 Thanksgiving Week Reflection Questions

What did this year really ask of me, and how did I respond?
What part of my business felt heavy this year, and why?
What surprised me — in a good way or a bad way?
What am I thankful that I learned the hard way this year?
Who helped carry something for me this year, even if it was small?
Who am I right now that I wasn’t one year ago?
What’s one belief I’m ready to retire going into the new year?
What’s one belief I’m finally ready to pick up?
What consistently broke this year, and what does that reveal about my systems?
What worked so well that I barely noticed it?
If I had to run my business next year with 50% less effort, what would I automate and/or eliminate?
What’s the biggest opportunity I’m sitting on that I didn’t take seriously enough this year?
What would a bold version of next year look like (not necessarily bigger — but bolder)?
What am I willing to disrupt in my own world to step into that version?
What did life remind me of this year that business sometimes makes me forget?
What would make next year feel rich — not just financially, but experientially?
If next year was guaranteed to be successful, what would I stop worrying about today?
