Legal Career Resolutions: Let’s Make 2025 Count!

Thinking About Setting Career Resolutions for 2025? Here’s How to Make Them Stick 🚀

According to the University of Scranton, only 8% of people who set New Year’s resolutions actually achieve them. But don’t worry – there’s a way to beat the odds and set yourself up for success in your legal career in 2025!

It’s not just about setting goals, it’s about setting goals you can actually achieve. Here’s how to make your legal career resolutions happen:

🎯 Write Them Down: A study by Dominican University of California found that writing down your goals increases the likelihood of achieving them by 42%. Whether it’s landing that new legal role or mastering complex litigation, putting your goals in writing is like giving your legal career a roadmap to success.

🎯 Visualise Success: Whether it’s becoming a partner, mastering tech law, or leading a practice group, visualising your goals primes your brain for achievement. Take a moment to picture where you want to be by the end of 2025 – it makes your goals feel more real and achievable.

🎯 Break Them Into Manageable Steps: Big goals can feel overwhelming. Instead of saying “get promoted,” aim for actionable steps like “apply for leadership training” or “connect with a mentor.” Breaking them down keeps you motivated.

🎯 Tell Someone About It: Accountability works! Share your goals with a colleague, mentor or friend. Having someone check in on your progress increases your commitment and offers support along the way.
