The 25 Question Review: How to Close 2025 & Win in 2026

As 2025 comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to pause, reflect, and reset. But a true annual review goes beyond just listing resolutions, it requires deep introspection to uncover the painful lessons, celebrate the wins, and set a clear, strategic path for the year ahead.

Jeevan Sahadevan, Founder of Leverage Labs, returns for his annual tradition of guiding us through "25 Questions to Review Your 2025." He breaks down his framework for an 8 hour to 2-day deep dive into your year, designed to help you find closure, identify necessary endings, and define your "one-word theme" for 2026.

We discuss:

  • The 25-question framework: from reviewing 2025 to planning 2026.

  • Why you must identify your "painful lessons" before setting new goals.

  • The "necessary endings": what you need to cut to move forward.

  • The "law of the sixth": auditing the 5 people you spend the most time with.

  • How to find your "one-word theme" to guide your entire year.

    For entrepreneurs, leaders, and anyone looking to level up, this is an essential guide to closing the chapter on 2025 and designing your best year yet.
