As the year comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to pause, look back, and get honest about where you’ve been and where you’re headed. In this episode of Shooting It Straight!, Randy Black and Elizabeth Clayton walk listeners through a simple but powerful year-end reflection exercise inspired by Mel Robbins. Instead of rushing into resolutions, this conversation focuses on clarity—what worked, what didn’t, and what really matters moving forward.

Using seven intentional reflection questions, Randy and Elizabeth share personal insights and straight talk about highlights, challenges, lessons learned, and the habits worth stopping, starting, and continuing. This episode isn’t about perfection or pressure—it’s about honest self-assessment and making room for meaningful growth in the year ahead.

To help you put these ideas into practice, we’ve created a free downloadable Year-End Reflection Worksheet you can use to journal your way through the questions at your own pace. Whether you’re planning your next goals or simply trying to gain perspective, this episode and worksheet are designed to help you step into the new year with clarity, purpose, and confidence.
