---------------------- SHOW NOTES ----------------------  Episode Number: 395 Episode Title: Should You Set Goals? The Truth About What Works   Here's what nobody wants to admit about goal setting - it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. While the "gurus" are screaming at you to set bigger, bolder goals, some of the most successful people I know have thrown traditional goal-setting out the window completely. In this episode, we're diving into both sides of this heated debate so you can finally figure out what actually works for YOUR personality and situation.   Podcast Highlights: [01:07] The truth about why most people's goals fail [01:55] Benefits of goal setting [03:54] Sarah's simple savings strategy that actually worked (and why) [04:23] Goal setting setbacks nobody talks about - stress, tunnel vision, and ethical shortcuts [05:18] Why goals might be killing your natural motivation and joy [07:08] Pascale's take on goal setting [07:32] How to know whether goal setting is right for you or not.

The Truth About What Works   This episode tackles the controversial question that divides productivity experts everywhere: Are goals essential for success or holding you back? We explore the compelling arguments for goal-setting (direction, motivation, performance) and the surprising case against them (stress, tunnel vision, reduced enjoyment). Most importantly, you'll discover how to determine which approach aligns with your unique personality and life season. Table of Contents Arguments For Goal Setting Arguments Against Goal Setting  The Personal Take on Goal Clarity Finding Your Natural Rhythm Conclusion Arguments For Goal Setting Here's where goal-setting shines - and why millions swear by it. Goals give you crystal-clear direction when everything else feels chaotic. They help you prioritize what matters instead of spinning your wheels on busy work that gets you nowhere. Plus, there's real research backing this up - people who set specific, challenging goals consistently outperform those who just "wing it." Take Sarah's vacation savings example: she wanted that family trip abroad but had zero funds. By setting a monthly savings target, she could track progress, adjust when needed, and make her dream happen through small, consistent actions. Arguments Against Goal Setting But here's the flip side that'll make you think twice. Goals can become stress monsters that eat away your self-esteem when you don't hit those targets. Worse yet, they can push you toward unethical shortcuts or risky behaviour to check that box. Ever notice how something you used to love doing becomes a total chore once you turn it into a goal? That's your intrinsic motivation getting crushed. And here's the kicker - focusing too hard on end results makes you miss the daily habits and systems that drive success. Plus, tunnel vision from rigid goals can blind you to incredible opportunities right in front of your face. The Personal Take on Goal Clarity Look, I love the clarity that comes from setting goals. But here's where most people get stuck - they set goals with good intentions and hope for the best. Without supportive systems like task management tools, accountability partners, or rock-solid daily habits, you're setting yourself up to drift and lose momentum. One mentor perfectly said, "You need a compass - because without it, any road will get you to your destination." But your compass doesn't need to be a traditional goal. It could be a vision, a feeling, a core value, or a natural rhythm that guides your decisions. Finding Your Natural Rhythm Whether you set goals or not depends entirely on your personality, life experience, and what season you're in right now. Some people flourish with structure and clear targets. Others bloom when they have the freedom to flow and adapt. The key is honouring what aligns with who you are, not what some expert says you "should" do. Ask yourself this week: "What do I need more of right now - clarity and structure, or freedom through flow?" Whatever answer comes up, trust it. You know what you need better than anyone else.   Conclusion The goal-setting debate isn't about finding the "right" answer but finding YOUR answer. Whether you thrive on structured objectives or prefer intuitive flow, the most important thing is choosing an approach that energizes rather than drains you. Remember, the journey toward what you want is often just as transformative as getting there. Trust your instincts, honour your natural rhythms, and permit yourself to succeed in whatever feels most authentic.   ………………………...

If you're looking up at June like, “Wait, What!?—how are we halfway through the year already?”...you're not alone. This is your halftime moment—and it's exactly when most entrepreneurs either level up or completely stall out. But you? You've got a business to grow and goals to smash. In this week's episode of the Breadwinning Business Women podcast, I'm walking you through a powerful mid-year reset to help you evaluate what's happened so far, reclaim your revenue goals, and finish the year strong and strategic. Whether your sales are ahead of plan, behind, or MIA, this episode will help you:

Author, speaker, and presidential pickup game basketball player Ben Nemtin makes a return visit to the Journal of Accountancy podcast. Four years after his first appearance, he's focused these days on the impact of purpose on longevity, well-being, and employee engagement. As the keynote speaker June 9 at AICPA & CIMA ENGAGE 25, Nemtin will share about the road trip with friends he took nearly 20 years ago that spawned a book, a reality show, and the accomplishment of so many lofty goals. In this episode, Nemtin updates listeners on the status of his bucket list and explains why taking just 15 minutes to focus on one goal can be beneficial. Note: Early-bird registration for ENGAGE ends Thursday. What you'll learn from this episode: ·         A refresher on the concept of The Buried Life. ·         Nemtin's focus on “energy-driven living.” ·         Addressing the notion that it's selfish to focus on personal well-being. ·         The value of connecting to purpose – for individuals and organizations. ·         Three ways to maintain accountability when it comes to setting and reaching goals.

In this podcast episode, Amber McCue takes us behind the scenes of her goal-setting process for 2025, blending her entrepreneurial insights with the realities of solo parenting. She emphasizes a practical, flexible approach to planning that allows for both personal and professional growth, even amidst the chaos of life as a solo parent.

One of her key tips is aligning your personal life with your business goals.

Whether you're launching a product, planning a vacation, or simply trying to get your work-life balance right, Amber's strategy is all about managing your time, energy, and resources for maximum impact.   Mentioned In This Episode: Year End Checklist Business Brilliant by Lewis Schiff Company Values Fresh Start Workbook 90-Day Plan Template Planning 101

Ever notice how everyone picks the same predictable words for their New Year - peace, joy, freedom? What if your 2025 word of the year could be something totally unexpected that lights up everyone's face when you share it?   2025: The Year of Captivation Yep, that's MY word this year.   2025 is not just another year—it's the year of captivation for me. In the past, my time has been driven by business goals, from client acquisition to serving a growing audience predominantly of mothers. This year, however, my focus is on discovering and pursuing what truly captivates me—my word of the year.   ---   **Captivation: Inspired by Family and Stories**   Reflecting on memorable moments of captivation, I am reminded of summers spent with my grandmothers in Miami and Puerto Rico. My Cuban grandmother and her family were expert storytellers, captivating me with tales from their lives and adventures. These moments instilled in me a love for storytelling and a fascination with human expression.   ---   **Choosing a Word of the Year: A Journey of Self-Discovery**   I invite you to join me on this journey of selecting a word of the year—a concept popularized by Danielle Laporte in her work on desire mapping. Find a word that resonates deeply, one that isn't commonly chosen but is authentic to the sensation you aim to experience. Whether it's a bold choice like "captivating" or something uniquely personal, let it guide your experiences and interactions.   ---   **Practice Captivation in Everyday Life**   Achieving a sense of captivation doesn't necessarily require grand gestures; it can be found in simple, everyday experiences. Whether it's listening intently to your child's story or discovering a new passion, these moments hold the potential to enrich our lives profoundly.   ---   **Conclusion: A Year of Unforeseen Opportunities**   As we traverse 2025, I aim to provide you with content that not only captivates but also adds value to your life. This year will be marked by transformative changes in how I approach my business and personal life, integrating my newly acquired skills as a meditation practitioner.   Let's explore how we can make this year uniquely ours. I encourage you, my listeners, to think expansively, embrace words that are different, and stand unafraid in your journey.   Happy New Year! While we're at it, why not make it official?

It is Melissa, your host of the Mom Founder Imagination Hub podcast.  Wow, like what was that? Seriously, it's so funny. I just returned from a trip to the colonies, as I like to refer the states that I have a lot of family in. So we went to New York, we went to New Jersey and we went to Connecticut. Yeah. And I will say that the experience was a bit of a whirlwind, but it ended with just like feeling really, really sick. And so I'm on the mend, definitely feeling very, very. alive and excited and pumped about 2025. This morning, I already went to the gym. I did my 10, 000 steps, went to the groceries, did some laundry part two. I mean, it's been a productive set of hours on this feast of the epiphany Three Wise Men Day. I even put incense with the scent of myrrh for the occasion of the Three Wise Men. You remember? What did they give baby Jesus? Frankincense, myrrh, and gold. So I would say, you know, it's been a really interesting start to the new year.  And in this unedited episode, you thoroughly hear that I still have the remnants of a, a bad set of bacteria, virus,  But notwithstanding, I feel good. I feel good about 2025. And the reason why I do is because it's going to be different than years past. Years past have been really dictated by business initiatives, figuring out what needs to happen in order to bring in new clients, in order to better serve, You know, a brand new target audience being you a mom and also, you know, just a lot of novelty when it comes to the different ways that people approach, you know, lead generation and all that businessy stuff. And so this year is going to be a little bit different.  It's really going to be about figuring out what.  exactly captivates me. That is the word for me of 2025. And as I tell individuals, my word, I am met with this whole idea of, wow, that's crazy, but like in a good way, because it's definitely a very high vibe word, captivating, captivate to captivate.  I put a lot of thought into it.  And just to kind of share a story of those moments when I have been the most captivated, I remember every single summer I would spend a month in Miami and a month in Puerto Rico with my respective grandmothers. And my Cuban grandmother on one hand was A really good storyteller, as was my entire family from a paternal perspective. And I would say that they really got into storytelling. So let's imagine they got home from work and they all worked in the police department and they had these amazing stories. Whether it was, you know, about criminals or if it was about, I don't even know, a salsero that they would have invited to like a Christmas party. I mean, a lot of my memories are a little bit of a Patchwork quilt, should I say?  Point of the matter, they would use their body to really express themselves. They would stand up in the middle of the living room to absolutely, you know, be on stage, quote unquote.  And I felt captivated,  completely engrossed in what they were saying. And I'm pretty sure I had no idea what they were really, really saying. Because I was a little girl, but I was always really intrigued by the way they express themselves and the stories they would tell. And that's why for me, that is the word that popped up, captivating to captivate. And when I started looking up what it meant, it also had this idea that there has to be a willingness.  be captivated. So as I think through this word of the year for myself, I invite you to think beyond some of the words that are in the atmosphere in your local area. Or wherever it is that you might reside. So, for example, if in your community you might hear words like, Oh, freedom, or peace, or contentment, or words like joy. Why not consider a word like, that is totally left field, but really nails the sensation you're going for. And then in the same way that the person who wrote this book about desire mapping, Danielle Laporte says, she basically said, you know, once you have your word or set of words, it's really about figuring out. a myriad of ways that you can feel that sensation. So if I want to feel engrossed, plugged in or captivated, it's not just like going to great adventure and, you know, going on a roller coaster and maybe I am totally captivated by an amazing ride. It can be something as so simple, so sweet as paying close attention to a little story that a son of mine has, you know, whether it was something that he caught in school or something that he just wants to share with me or retell from a story he has read. So for me, captivating has range. What about you? I would invite you to really think through.  what you desire to feel in 2025. For me, as I mentioned, it was being captivated or captivating or captivate people. Because again, if you want a certain feeling, it really behooves you to emit that feeling yourself. So that also implies I have to be captivating. And So there we go. So for you really think that through, think through right now, maybe write it down at some point, a couple of words that really, really ignite something inside of you, something that might be, um, a little sleepy right now. It might be a little bit kind of, you know, not used. Just think of a word that you want to draw attention to in your life. And funny enough, When I chose that word, which is not the most common word I've seen, I started, of course, seeing that word, which has an actual scientific principle attached to it. Kind of like when you buy a particular car, you start to notice all those cars. So,  Happy New Year. I'm thrilled that this podcast lives on. I'm thrilled that I had the opportunity to share with you my 2025 word, and I really endeavor to captivate you, captivate you in a way that makes you feel better. After listening to every single episode, and I really do invite you and hope that you can be very patient with me because this is a year of change when it comes to the way I go about, you know, sharing my gifts and talents. This is also going to be a year of change in terms of how I think about my business and my role and how I decide to you. You know, bring forth everything that I've learned, even new things. I just became a meditation practitioner. It's like official now I'm done with the program. So there'll be a lot of unexpected conversations, but also my ambition is really to make sure that you get value out of each and every single one of them. So in this one, I invite you to think about a word of the year, and I invite you to definitely consider how you might make it. different or set yourself apart from those that are in your area. It might really inspire other people to think more expansively about their own lives and their own experiences. Because every single person I've told this word to, captivating and captivated, like, It just brought a huge smile on their face and they really loved that word. They're like, I have never heard someone use that word in terms of the word of the year for them. And of course I say, I know you haven't because I really like using words that are different. That captivates me, right? It holds my interest. being a little different and, um, unexpected and be unafraid to do either. Okay. Happy new year until next Tuesday. And if we are not official yet, like if you haven't hit follow or subscribe, I invite you to go ahead and do that. Go ahead and do that. And if you want to send me a little note, I will put it in the show notes. Tell me that you actually subscribed or followed me. And.

Hey Winner, Ann Hair has many dreams, but she was having a hard time putting them all together and breaking them down into a strategic plan that seemed doable for her in the season of life she's in. She loves all things simple, and what she wanted most is someone to help her create a simple strategy so that she could work on her goals AND make progress toward them.  Ann's first breakthrough came after downloading AND using my free Game Plan Workbook (which I'll link in the show notes for you if you haven't snagged it yet). I'm bringing her onto the show today to talk about what her big burly goals are, how they've evolved, the breakthroughs she had working inside my program, Finish Line Goals, and the progress she's made since.  You're going to LOVE Ann and this conversation. So let's dive in!

When it comes to goal setting, moms need different strategies in different seasons of motherhood. In this week's video, I'll be sharing what works in setting goals for the pregnancy and baby phase, when you have children under six, when you have school-aged kids and a full schedule, and when your children leave home. There are also principles that apply to all of us, no matter what stage we are in.  Tips for Goal Planning in Every Season of Motherhood: Survival Seasons (pregnancy, postpartum, baby stage): Create goals around who you want to BE. There is plenty you are learning how to do in this phase of motherhood. When You Have Children 6 and Under: This is an exploring phase to figure out what type of motherhood you want to create and what you like to do. Do projects, try new things, and start something that scares you. Keep two lists - things you can do when your kids are sleeping and things you can do when they are awake. When You Have School-Aged Children: When schedules are full, and you feel like there isn't room to add more, ask yourself, “Where do I want to see progress in my life this year?” and be intentional about improving and going deeper on what you've already committed to. This progress will create excitement and energy. Empty Nesters: This phase can feel a lot like becoming a new mom - disorienting if you don't know how to fill your days. This is a good time to set goals to explore and figure out what matters to you or do things you've always wanted to do but haven't gotten to you. It's important to remember that as a mom, goals can include things you do with your kids, too. For a long time, I thought that for a goal to count, it had to be something I did away from my kids during alone time. So not true! I love to have a whole list of things I can work on when my kids are with me. Some things are more mindless activities that I can do next to them while they play, like wood carving or crocheting. Others are things we can work on together, like growing a garden. As you are figuring out your goals this year, make sure at least one thing can be done with your children. It's good for everyone to see mom working on goals! If you're ready to achieve your goals, tune in, grab a pen, take some notes, and get excited about the progress you'll make in 2024!

What do you honestly think about goal-setting? For years I was averse to the idea, driven by the fear of failure if I couldn't accomplish them all perfectly. Now, I set goals differently by keeping my season, my values, and my wants at the forefront of my planning. Together with today's guest, Kate House, we dive in to how you can do that, too, by setting intentions and crafting goals with soul. Kate House is the host of The Live By Design Podcast, a health coach, and online educator. Her purpose is to help women develop the lives they want with intention, not overwhelm.

I gave out the planning aspect in my last podcast episode. How to organize your goals. How to rank them and prioritize them. How to make a plan, and how to revise your plan. If you haven't listened to that episode, you'll want to do that now, before listening to this. Now, I'll tell you WHAT to practice in order to reach your goals fast. The more you can focus in on the exercises I give in this lesson, the faster you'll reach your goals. I promise you. But careful, don't get distracted by other shiny objects. Stay true to your goal and your practice and you'll make more progress than you ever have before. By the way... My Accelerator program and BIG Holiday sale is now open through New Years!

Over the years, I've noticed that people focus on a goal for the year. Say you have a weight loss goal, you know how much you want to lose, and you achieve it in a few months, what comes next? People don't tend to have an overall vision for what they want to create and how they want their life to look from a bird's eye view. But this is the first step in goal planning.   When you have a vision plan for your life, you can map out your goals to support your vision. Tune in this week to discover how to set your goals in a new way for 2024. Learn how to decide what you really want to create in your life and how to set goals that actually move you toward your ultimate vision.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://wealthymommd.com/195

What happens when we get off track? And how can we get back on track when we've fallen off the wagon?We set goals because we want to change, grow, or experience something new. Whether it's weight loss, financial gain, learning something new, or spiritual growth, we know it feels good to achieve these goals.But what happens when we're not on track? We can get overwhelmed with our goals and the commitment they require. Things come up that distract us or stop us. And then it feels like we've failed, so we stop altogether.The key is to remember that the change itself is what we're really pursuing. The goal is simply the means by which we change. So even if we feel like we've failed to attain the goal, we shouldn't quit. We should recognize the actual change that has been happening all along. Getting Back on TrackWhen you've fallen off the wagon, it's important to encourage each other to keep going. Change your mindset to focus on the transformation that's happening in your life. Remember, you're better today than you were yesterday. If you look back, you can clearly see that you've made forward movement. Supporting Each OtherAs a couple, it's crucial to support each other in our personal pursuits. Acknowledge each other's efforts, be patient, and celebrate the fact that you're trying something new and trying to change for the better. Growth SpurtThis month, we're focusing on growing by letting freedom ring. We're celebrating the freedom to learn something new, the freedom to pray, and the freedom to pursue happiness. PrayerDear Lord, thank you for giving us the capacity to set new goals, to experience transformation, to do something new, to learn and to grow. We pray we would take advantage of all that we have been given to do the hard thing and see progress. Regardless of how much time we have left in this year, will you motivate our hearts and minds to follow through with the goals we hope to achieve? Will you keep insecurity far from us? We pray we would be supportive in marriage and work together as a team to carry out your will. In Jesus' name, AMEN!
