New Year Message from Attorney Tracy Paulsen
Tracy Paulsen, founder of Rightful Legal, a Massachusetts-based personal injury firm. Happy New Year. Today is the second day of 2025, and I wanted to talk about goals, as goals are probably on everyone’s mind.
The Problem with Traditional Goal-Setting
Each year, I, like many, formulate a number of goals that I set out to achieve—then watch them fall to the wayside as the year progresses. This year, I’ve decided to do something a little bit different and formulate one significant goal that would have life impact.
The Power of Brian Tracy’s “Mind Mapping” Technique
To do that, I like a concept from Brian Tracy called mind mapping. What you can do is take out a piece of paper and think about 20 goals that you would like to achieve. Write them down. Don’t overthink them. Just write as much as you can. You’ll find that it’s actually quite difficult to get to number 20.
When you’re done, look over the piece of paper, and one goal will stand out to you—that resonates with you so much and will have the most impact in your life. It’s a goal that will be connected to other areas that, if you concentrate mainly on it, lots of things in your life will improve as a result.
How to Take Action on Your One Main Goal
To figure out how you can achieve this one goal, I would do mind mapping again—this time for actions that you can take to attain that one goal.
Write down 20 things you think you could do, in practice or in everyday life, that would help you achieve that one goal. When you’re done, look at the list again and pick out the top five. Then concentrate on those top five action items consistently—on a weekly, monthly, and yearly basis—and see how you’re doing.
When you look back next year, you’ll be amazed at how far you’ve come.
My Goal for 2025: Empowering Through Legal Education
This year, my one main goal is to try to produce quality content and videos for followers and clients to help them in their community—and to help them know that they can have legal advocacy on their side from Rightful Legal.
Whether it’s for personal injury claims like car accidents, workplace injuries, or larger-scale claims like environmental cases where your drinking water has been contaminated, or you’ve suffered an injury from Ozempic—that’s our goal: to help as many people as possible by increasing our community and providing relevant information for you that you can use.
