Start Your Transformation Now

Goals, for most of your life you’ve heard people talking about goals and why you should set them.

In this Q&A episode I talk about goals from a few different perspectives and I talk about why I don’t personally set them. Yes, you read that right, I don’t set goals.

In this episode I talk about:

[6:56] Working by a “12 week year”
[10:38] Why it’s important to break down goals into quarters
[11:32] Why tracking is so important if you set goals
[12:15] How “processing styles” can sabotage your goals
[14:29] The role of habits in your goal achievement
[15:23] How subconscious identity plays into your goals
[26:40] Why goal setting can be detrimental, research proven
[29:33] And, finally, why I personally do not set goals

I really enjoyed creating this episode. This is such an overrated topic, in my opinion, and it’s one that that has been drilled into our heads since we were kids.

So, I go a few different directions in this episode. If you want to set goals I talk about breaking them down. If you don’t want to set goals or you want a more healthy approach I talk about some Harvard research and my personal approach.

I had fun with this episode, I hope you enjoy it.

Transformational Takeaway: Break goals into 12 weeks and trackable results. Know your brain based processing style so you can apply it to your goals. And, finally, counter intuitive I know, but don’t set goals when you work from BEing the goal first in your mind.
