Elevate in 2025: Make Career Resolutions That Stick

Hello, my beautiful sisters.

As we step into a new year, it’s time to craft resolutions that aren’t just aspirations but intentional steps toward the career you deserve and desire.

We’ve all been there—setting goals with excitement only to lose momentum a few months in. But this year will be different because we’ll anchor our plans in purpose, strategy, and faith.

Let’s dive into creating resolutions that align with God’s plan and your career dreams.


Empathy: We’ve All Struggled with Follow-Through

How many times have we set ambitious goals only to feel deflated when life got in the way?

Maybe you wanted to learn a new skill, connect with industry leaders, or start that side hustle, but the demands of work, family, and doubt whispered: You can’t do it.

Let me remind you, you are more than capable with God on your side.

This year, let’s make resolutions that don’t just sit on a list but transform into action.

Reframing the Focus: Resolutions Aligned with Your Purpose

Before writing down resolutions, pause. Ask yourself: What is God calling me to do in my career? Purpose-driven goals bring clarity and prevent you from chasing trends or superficial benchmarks.

Let’s frame your resolutions around four pillars:

  1. Build Your Network
    • Join professional groups, attend conferences, or engage on LinkedIn.
    • Pray for discernment to connect with those who can uplift and guide you.
  2. Expand Your Skills
    • Identify one skill that could elevate your career and commit to mastering it.
    • Look for free or affordable resources—online courses, webinars, or mentorship opportunities.
  3. Stay Grounded in Faith
    • Commit to praying about your goals daily.
    • Meditate on scriptures like Proverbs 16:3: “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.”
  4. Plan for Consistency
    • Break resolutions into small, manageable steps.
    • Schedule time weekly to review your progress and adjust as needed.

Encouragement: You Have What It Takes

Sister, you are not alone in this journey.

Know that God has already equipped you with everything you need. When doubt creeps in, remember Isaiah 41:10: “Do not fear, for I am with you.”

Lean on your faith and know that each small step forward honors the path God has laid for you.
