Episode Breakdown
How do I Make the Most of 2024?
Peter begins by emphasizing the importance of each new year as an opportunity for making impactful decisions that can significantly alter one’s life and the lives of their family.
He discusses the significance of reflecting on the past year with intention and planning for the upcoming year to make it the best one yet, taking advantage of opportunities, and setting oneself and their family up for success in 2024.
“I absolutely believe that every single year that you have in front of you is the most important one yet” — Peter Kim, MD.
Looking Back on Key Moments of My Life
Dr. Peter continues by reflecting on the key moments of 2023 and intentionally choosing three significant experiences to remember.
He expresses concern about memory loss and emphasizes the importance of focusing on and cherishing meaningful experiences, particularly with family. Peter also shares personal moments, including family vacations and organizing a successful PIMD conference, and highlighting the lasting joy these experiences bring.
“To see over 400 physicians live at the conference and another 400 attend virtually, to come together and talk about creating their ideal lives, real estate, and entrepreneurship, to feel the energy and the excitement, all left a lasting impression in my mind. And whenever I look back on it, I can’t help but smile.” — Peter Kim, MD.
Emotions I Want to Hold On for the Year
Peter goes on to reflect on three emotions that stood out to him in the past year: wonder, curiosity, and determination.
He recounts a memorable experience at a U2 concert, expressing awe and inspiration. Peter also discusses his curiosity about global and personal changes, including economic shifts and their impact on real estate and the stock market. Additionally, he mentions feeling a sense of determination and gratitude for his family, health, and life purpose.
“I took a little bit of time in reflection, I really felt a deep sense of gratitude for my family, my health, the strong sense of purpose in my life, the mission that I have for this company and this business.” — Peter Kim, MD.
The Big Calendar Planning for 2024
Dr. Peter Kim furthers by discussing the importance of intentional planning for the upcoming year, emphasizing the need to map out the entire year, at least at a macro level, to prioritize and balance work, family, and personal experiences.
He shares that he uses a large yearly calendar to plan events and experiences, ensuring room for spontaneity while maintaining balance. Additionally, he mentions saving specific dates for upcoming events, February 26 to March 1st for the Leverage and Growth Summit, PIMDCON on September 26 to 28th, and PIMD Mastermind in Spring,
Moreover, he encourages others to be intentional about planning and prioritizing activities for an exciting and fulfilling year.
“If you’re not feeling excited about your year, I think it’s not because there aren’t exciting things that are going to happen, but you haven’t taken a bird’s eye view of the entire year. And I think that’s where you can excite yourself.” — Peter Kim, MD.
Starting this New Year with Intention
Peter concludes by once again emphasizing the importance of starting the new year with intention and planning.
He encourages the listener to reflect on the previous year’s challenges and lessons to make 2024 amazing, future planning the potential opportunities and uncertainties in the upcoming year, and emphasizes the importance of being part of a supportive community with a strong mindset and strategy.
Lastly, Peter then expressed his continued support on their journey ahead to growth and success.
“Forget about New Year’s resolutions… Think about starting this new year with intention, meaning that you want to plan out the entire year.” — Peter Kim, MD.
