Feeling Good - Bring on 2025!
To quote Michael Bublé:
Birds flying high, You know how I feel
Sun in the sky, You know how I feel
Breeze driftin’ on by, You know how I feel
It’s a new dawn, It’s a new day
It’s a new life,
For me
And I’m feeling good
Having had a strong affinity for music from a very young age, I will quite often reflect on the lyrics of songs as I wander through a day. When thinking about my article for the first newsletter of 2025, Michael Bublé’s Feeling Good came to mind. No, I have not experienced any life changing decisions (noting the line “it’s a new life”), but like you I’ve experienced a new year ticking over, and I’m feeling good!
Like many of you, 2024 for me was the year that seemed to increase in pace as it went along and certainly had its shares of ups and downs. Late 2024 offered me (and my family) an opportunity to reconnect with some close family members that we had been somewhat estranged from for a period of time. This was a time of great joy and excitement for us.
2025 offers an opportunity for that to continue in our lives. It also offers us the opportunity to build on the successes that we have experienced both personally and professionally throughout 2024..
2024 was a very positive year from an investment perspective. It was great to see that the odd dip in portfolio values was quickly followed by very solid gains and that continued through the entire year. I’m not going to pretend that 2025 is forecast to do the same (my crystal ball broke many years ago), but the glass half full person in me says that things will continue on their merry way, and I’m feeling good.
2024 was also a very positive year for Goldsborough from a client referral perspective. We saw a significant number of new clients as a result of referrals from their friends and/or family who have been extremely pleased with the service and support provided by their Goldsborough adviser, and the broader Goldsborough team. For that we say thank you, and invite you to refer anyone that you know who seeks professional financial advice to Goldsborough Financial Services in 2025.
