As the year 2024 comes to a close, it’s the perfect moment to reflect not only on what we’ve achieved but also on the dreams still waiting to be realized. This year has been a testament to the power of preparation, resilience, and vision—qualities that Behave Like a Boss champions as essential for turning aspirations into reality. My journey toward starting an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) company has been one of growth, and now, I want to inspire you to embark on your own bold path in 2025.
2024: A Year of Preparation and Growth
This year, preparation has been my mantra. Whether you’re starting a business, pursuing a passion, or striving for personal development, every meaningful goal begins with laying the right foundation. Let me share a few lessons from my journey that I hope will light the way for yours:
1. Expand Your Knowledge Base: The first step to achieving any dream is learning. In 2024, I immersed myself in understanding both the clinical and business aspects of ABA. From attending conferences to completing entrepreneurial courses, I learned that no amount of effort is wasted when you’re building expertise. Ask yourself: What can I learn today that will get me closer to my goal?
2. Build Meaningful Connections: The people we meet can transform our lives. This year, I connected with passionate BCBAs, therapists, and parents who offered insights that shaped my vision. Surround yourself with individuals who challenge, inspire, and support you. Collaboration and mentorship are powerful catalysts for growth.
3. Lay the Foundation with Action: Dreams remain dreams without action. Researching regulations, identifying service areas, and drafting a business plan were the first tangible steps I took. Your foundation may look different, but remember: Every small step matters. Progress, no matter how incremental, is still progress.
4. Find Your Catalyst: For me, the book Behave Like a Boss was transformative. Its practical advice and motivational insights gave me the confidence to move forward. What’s your catalyst? Whether it’s a book, a mentor, or a moment of clarity, embrace what ignites your passion and let it fuel your journey.
Looking Ahead to 2025: Your Year of Action
The time for dreaming is over. In 2025, it’s time to act—to take the lessons and plans from 2024 and turn them into reality. Here’s how we can do it together:
1. Take the Leap: Launching the Behave Like a Boss book was a defining moment for me. For you, it might be starting a project, switching careers, or pursuing a passion. Take that first courageous step. Action creates momentum, and momentum leads to success.
2. Stay Anchored to Your Purpose: Your "why" is your North Star. For me, it’s the commitment to improving lives through ABA. For you, it might be helping others, creating something new, or achieving personal fulfillment. Keep your purpose front and center, and let it guide your decisions.
3. Use the Lessons of Behave Like a Boss: The principles in this book—resilience, innovation, confidence—are your toolkit for overcoming challenges. Revisit your sources of inspiration often and draw strength from them. Remember, every boss started where you are now.
4. Build Your Community: Great achievements rarely happen in isolation. In 2025, I’ll continue fostering a community of professionals and advocates who share my vision for ABA. Find your tribe—people who uplift, support, and challenge you—and watch how collaboration propels you forward.
