What Your Future You is Begging You to Do Before the Year Ends

Have you ever thought that maybe there's a future version of you that's wishing you had made different decisions at this time? 

In this week’s blog, I'm going to be talking about what your future you is begging you to do before the year ends.

5-Day Reset

Before I dive in, I also want to let you know that I'm in the middle of the free 5-Day Reset, which no matter when you're reading this, I encourage you to go through. It's a really great way to close off one year and start the next year. 
​
It's something I do every year at this time, and it is free to join. If we're still doing it, you can upgrade by donation. All donations are going to women's shelters, and I'm going to match them as well. If you upgrade, you'll be part of the Zoom live sessions, where you can ask questions, share your answers, and receive coaching from me. I'll keep the recordings up for a little bit after it finishes, in case you're reading this at a later time.

Imagine Yourself One Year From Now

Let's just imagine yourself one year from now. You're not stressed, you're chill. You think, "Wow, I've had such a great year." Then, ask your future self:

• What changed this year?
  
• What stayed the same?
  
• What things do you wish you had known sooner?
  

You might want to pause and answer those questions, think through them. This isn't about regret. It's about awareness. It's about possibility.

The worst thing you can do is get to the end of the year, look back and say "This year was not how I wanted it to be.” or “This year, I'm so glad it's over because there was so much bad in it". 

Again, not about regret, but listen to the answers that your future self is telling you.

What Your Future Self Doesn't Want

I'm guessing that your future self doesn't want:

• More hustle
  
• Burnout or more of it
  
• More of doing everything alone
  
• To feel like the weight of the world is on their shoulders and their to-do list is never ending
  

What Your Future Self Does Want

They want support. Support isn't weakness. They want more joy, more goals being accomplished, more vision coming to life. All of this is wisdom that comes from experience

What you can do is listen to what your future self is telling you and take the opportunity right now to make an action that's going to help your future self be able to look back and say, "Wow, that was great. That was such a great year."

I'm guessing what your future self is asking for:

1. Clear direction: They don't want to be second-guessing themselves all year.
2. Confidence in their decisions: Even the imperfect ones, where they're like "I hope this is the right one," or "I know this isn't the right one, but I'm going to give it my all because I don't really have a good choice."
3. Supportive rooms: Where there are real conversations, real people, and that in-person connection when possible. That ability to feel like, "Wow, these are my people. These are like-minded people."
4. Willingness to show up: Before everything is figured out. They want to be willing to give it a go before they know everything's figured out.
   
5. Momentum, not pressure: They want to have that push like wind in a sail, to just be able to ride that and not feel any pressure.

An Invitation Your Future You Wants You to Say Yes To

Your future self hopes you’ll accept my invitation to the Women's Business Success event. It's a moment of alignment at the start of the year. It's a time to pause, to be grounded before the year picks up speed. It's a room designed to support the next version of you. You don't have to change who you are. It's just the 2.0, the 3.0, the 4.0, whatever version you're on.

When: January 8 (two sessions: morning and afternoon)
Where: Live and in person in North Vancouver, BC
Can't attend in person? We're doing a waitlist for an online version

Your future you wants to be able to focus on clarity, confidence, and connection, and to have these three pieces locked in at the start of the year.

It's Not About Doing More

People say, "Diane, how do you do so much?" I get that I have virtual assistants that do a lot for me. But before I had any help and with my clients who still don’t have help. We all start with the same thing… clarity: knowing exactly where you're going so you don't need to second-guess yourself and waste time. 

It's having the confidence to go for it, even if it's things that will stretch you, because the more time we spend procrastinating, the more time we burn. Then you can get into action, doing the thing you had clarity and confidence to do.

The event is the connection, the ability to share and grow and learn with other women around you so that you don't feel alone.

Why Does the Timing Matter?

Early January sets the tone for the rest of the year. A lot of times people feel like they don't really get their groove until the end of January. This is going to help you get that groove going early on in the year, to take advantage of all those days.

Really, what you choose now is going to shape how the year unfolds. That goes beyond just choosing to attend (which is free, by the way, there's just a seat deposit). What you choose from today until the end of the year, what you choose from January 1 and beyond, that's going to shape how the whole year unfolds.

What you do first thing in the morning, what you say yes to, what you fill your calendar with. Having support chosen early is going to create ease later.

Choosing Alignment Before Habits Lock In

Let me be the one to lead your kick-off. Lean on me to be the one to help create that clarity, the confidence, and the connection for you, because it's really about choosing alignment before the habits fully lock in. We want everything we're choosing to be in alignment so that our habits can then form based on that clarity and that alignment.

There’s no point in jumping forward if you don’t have the clarity; you're not going to feel confident to take action because it's not going to be in alignment.

Choose Yourself Early

This time of year can have a significant impact, so it's important to close the year right. It's important to feel good at the start of the year.

I want you to have confidence that 2026 will be different and can be better than any year you've had.

Choosing yourself early on is powerful because, trust me, other people will take your time. Other people will have you choose their agendas. Choosing yourself early, putting this in your calendar on January 8, is going to not only be a powerful thing for you at the start of the year (powerful by attending and getting the information and connecting with others and having a fun and productive time), but it's going to teach you that you choose yourself moving forward.

We are often the last on our priority list, very far down or not even on it at all, because other people, our family, our friends, our neighbours, our clients, our volunteering, our boards, whatever it is that we do, are often ahead of our own needs.

You Don't Need to Be Ready

Please know you don't need a perfect plan. You don’t need to arrive with a plan for this event. You don't need everything figured out. You actually don't need anything figured out. You can come and let me guide you through the material I've prepared for the Women's Business Success event.
If you're thinking, "I'm reading this, and I really love your stuff, Diane, and I want to come, but I don't have a business," that's okay. You are still welcome to come.

Your Future You is Waiting

Your future you wants you to be there on January 8 in North Vancouver. If you can't, there will be a waitlist for the online version. Please just make sure you sign up because as soon as I have enough people, I'm going to run that.

You don't need to be ready. You just need to show up.

Your future you will start to be formed on that day. Trust me, your future self is going to look back on this moment and say, "Wow, you listened. You chose yourself, and you booked your seat to be at the Women's Business Success event".

This is the moment you get to choose support, choose the clarity, choose momentum, and choose connection with the other ladies that are there.

There are only 10 spots per session, so please don't be disappointed. Grab your seat today.
