In this episode, I'm reframing the whole conversation around goal setting, especially at the beginning of a new year. Instead of treating goals like a list to chase, I'm inviting you to look at what actually creates movement. I talk about how comparison quietly slows everything down, and why goals matter far less than the moment-by-moment choices you make about what your life means. I also share what it looks like to move forward as the new version of you, not the old one, because when you try to achieve your goals from the old version, it usually shows up as exhaustion. We'll explore the difference between comfort and deep calmness, how to be with the discomfort that comes with expansion, and why the pause, when you stop assigning meaning, can be the space where new answers start to appear. We are currently enrolling for the next round of The Spiritual Investor Mastermind, which begins on February 3rd. Visit thespiritualinvestor.com to apply today.

As a new year begins, many Christians start thinking about goal setting, vision casting, and how they want their life to look moving forward. We want clarity. We want confidence. We want to follow through—and we want to honor God with the life we're building. Yet for so many growth-minded, faith-filled believers, change doesn't last the way we hope it will. In this episode, we explore the one essential thing that must come first if you want meaningful, lasting change this year—whether you're setting goals, discerning your calling, or simply wanting to live with more intention and peace. If you love personal growth, value your faith, and feel tired of starting over or feeling stuck in familiar patterns, this conversation will meet you right where you are. We'll gently unpack why motivation and discipline alone aren't enough, how your inner world shapes your outer life, and why real transformation begins beneath the surface. This episode blends neuroscience, biblical truth, and identity-based growth to help you approach change in a way that feels grounded, compassionate, and sustainable. You'll walk away with greater self-awareness, renewed hope, and a fresh perspective on what it actually takes to move forward—without striving, pressure, or burnout. This is the beginning of a journey toward living with clarity, confidence, and purpose—from the inside out. _____________________ Join our community on Facebook Follow @ReneeBooe on Instagram  Apply here for 1:1 coaching Learn more on reneebooe.com Book Renee to speak at your event HERE

Welcome to the very first episode of The WELL Podcast — a space to refill, reset, and reconnect with the version of you that feels grounded, energized, and at peace. As we step into a brand-new year, it's easy to get swept up in goal-setting culture… the hustle, the pressure, the "do more, be more, fix yourself" mentality.

You'll learn how to shift from striving into intention, from burnout into alignment, and from overwhelm into grounded clarity. This isn't about chasing achievement — it's about becoming well. • Why traditional goal-setting often leads to burnout • The difference between busy goals and soul-aligned goals • How to anchor your dreams in faith, identity, and wellness • How your nervous system, rhythms, and energy matter in goal-setting • A simple framework for creating goals that feel supportive, not stressful • What it looks like to build dreams that nourish you — not drain you We'll also slow down together for a few reflection moments so you can reconnect with what truly matters to you this season.   THE FIRST STEP IS ALWAYS HONORING YOUR BODY:  Join me in the Faster Way to Fat Loss program You get: ⭐️30 minute workous ⭐️Macro Friendly meal plans and trackers ⭐️Fasting Tracker ⭐️Water Tracker ⭐️Motivation ⭐️Accountability

In this episode of the Tired Dad and Tired Mom Podcast, we welcome 2026 by reflecting on how quickly time moves and how much we've grown along the way. We talk about what it's taken to strengthen our communication, how outside negativity can quietly affect a relationship if you let it, and why learning to let go of resentment has mattered so much for us. We share why pursuing what lights us up isn't selfish, how creativity plays a big role in the way we're raising our kids, and what we're focusing on in the year ahead. More connection.

Goal setting is one of those hallowed practices that belong in every leader's arsenal. We've all heard that people who set goals are far more successful than those who don't.  And every well-run business has a policy and a practice of setting annual goals for its various operational departments.  And yet, there are times and situations where it may be appropriate to do something else. ********************************************************** Your Free PIQ Solution:  How do I set Personal goals?

Here's what I'm hearing from many professionals at mid‑career and halftime: "I set good goals… but life gets busy, priorities shift, and momentum fades." This is not a motivation problem—it's an implementation problem. In the companion article and show Setting Goals for the New Year, we focused on clarity, values, quarterly planning, and measurable goals. This article is the next step. It answers the real question: How do you actually follow through—consistently and sustainably? Implementation is where intention becomes traction. And it doesn't require perfection—just structure, rhythm, and review. Today we cover all three. So if you're looking to implement goals successfully, the best time to start is now!

In this episode of the Get Strong Podcast, Jessie Mershon shares her personal experiences and insights on starting the new year with a positive perspective. She emphasizes the importance of setting goals for 2026, overcoming insecurities in fitness, and taking the first step towards personal growth. Jessie discusses the significance of building consistency and confidence, shrinking goals into manageable tasks, and the power of accountability in achieving success. She also highlights the importance of tracking progress over feelings and encourages listeners to become the strongest version of themselves by taking action, even when feeling scared or uncertain. takeaways Everything is about perspective. Your perspective can change how you view challenges. Setting goals can be intimidating but is essential. Everyone feels insecure when starting something new. Taking the first step is crucial for progress. Confidence comes from taking action, not perfection. Shrink your goals to make them manageable. Accountability partners can help you stay on track. Feelings can mislead you; focus on tangible proof. The strongest version of you is built through action.

Every January, professionals flood their calendars with new goals, ambitious targets, and aggressive timelines. And every year, most of them quietly abandon those plans weeks later.In this episode of The Career Report, Tim and Kristina Madden challenge the idea that success comes from doing more, faster. Instead, they break down why overloading yourself with goals often backfires and how incremental progress creates momentum that actually sticks.This conversation is about clarity over chaos. It's about choosing fewer, smarter priorities. And it's about building forward motion in a way that fits real careers, real workloads, and real life, not motivational posters or New Year hype.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by your own goals or frustrated that you can't keep up with them, this episode will help you rethink how you set direction and make progress without burning out.

In this week's episode of Better Business, Better Life, Debra Chantry-Taylor challenges the annual ritual of New Year's resolutions and explains why most of them quietly collapse by February. Debra unpacks the three big illusions that keep entrepreneurs stuck. The belief in a magical fresh start, the short-lived energy of January, and the assumption that wanting change is the same as committing to it. She shares a loving truth many leaders need to hear. You are not lazy or undisciplined, you are overloaded and unsupported by structure. Rather than chasing motivation, Debra offers a simpler, more sustainable approach. Choosing just two non-negotiable anchors for the year, one personal and one business, and building a consistent weekly rhythm that makes progress unavoidable. She explores how creating friction for old habits, setting firm boundaries, and planning energy into the calendar are essential for real change. The episode also highlights a crucial but often ignored factor in personal follow-through. Your team. Debra explains why individual willpower is not enough, and how tenacious, accountable teams make long-term change possible. If you are tired of setting goals you do not keep and ready to build a year that actually sticks, this episode will help you replace resolutions with systems and start the year with clarity, compassion, and traction.    CONNECT WITH DEBRA:         ___________________________________________         ►Debra Chantry-Taylor is a Certified EOS Implementer | Entrepreneurial Leadership & Business Coach | Business Owner ►Connect with Debra: ⁠debra@businessaction.com.au ⁠ ►See how she can help you: https://businessaction.co.nz/ ►Claim Your Free E-Book: https://www.businessaction.co.nz/free-e-book/       Episode 253 Chapters:    00:00 – Introduction 00:33 – New Year's Resolutions and Structural Failures   01:54 – Three January Illusions   02:51 – Loving Truths and Overloading   04:49 – The Three-Week Slump   06:40 – Setting Goals and Building Systems   07:13 – Creating Friction and Setting Boundaries   09:04 – Treating Yourself with Compassion   10:19 – The Role of Tenacious Teams

As we think about year-end planning, I want to challenge how you're setting goals. Most people set goals based on what they want: "I want more brand growth, more leads, smoother operations." I have a different outlook. Your business is a system, and systems are only capable of producing output according to what the constraints allow. So instead of saying what you want, ask: "What are the constraints keeping us from getting there?" Not getting enough leads? Sales process isn't good? Delivery isn't smooth? Write down all the problems, then identify the ONE highest-leverage constraint—the bottleneck where fixing it changes throughput dramatically. This episode breaks down why identifying the one constraint is really fucking hard (you'll feel FOMO, you'll want to tackle three problems instead of one), and why most sub-eight-figure businesses can only solve one constraint at a time. I just went through this exercise myself this morning, and here's an example: if your sales process is leaking shit everywhere, does it make sense to 10X your brand growth and leads first? No—because you're just wasting that effort. Fix the conversion constraint before the lead growth constraint. Learn how to audit constraints, discipline yourself to pick the one with greatest impact, and put all the wood behind that arrow instead of diluting effort across 27 problems.//Welcome to Repeatable Revenue, hosted by strategic growth advisor , Ray J.

In this episode, Brian Miller and Brian Tracy kick off January's theme—Escaping the Tyranny of the Urgent—by looking back at Brian's 2025 goal list (10 goals… 3 achieved… baseball Hall of Fame, real life: "ouch"). They explore what a "failed" goal year can teach you: you can't predict what's coming, God opens doors you didn't even know existed, and the real win isn't perfect outcomes—it's faithful work and healthy relationships. Key Highlights Brian admits he set 10 public goals for 2025 and hit 3, then uses that "miss" as a learning lab rather than a guilt trip. You can't predict the future: partnerships changed, a collarbone broke, and leadership responsibilities shifted—none of which were on the goal spreadsheet. Hold goals loosely: both Brians describe learning to release control and stay alert to God's unexpected openings. Focus on the work, not the scoreboard: habits and daily faithfulness matter more than lofty targets (with a nod to Atomic Habits and the "become the person" principle). Relationships are the real goal: productivity can quietly sabotage what matters most—community, family, prayer partners, and life-giving friendships. Takeaways Set fewer goals—and build "adaptability" into them. A smaller number of priorities leaves room for real life (and real leadership curveballs). Measure faithfulness by the work you do daily, not just the outcomes you can't control. Ask: "Does this goal strengthen relationships?" If it doesn't, it might be a shiny distraction wearing a halo. Stop trying to kick down locked doors. Pay attention to the doors God opens—and when they open, walk through them boldly. Schedule rest and life-giving time on purpose. If you never plan time off, the urgent will happily eat your entire year.

Today, I'm unpacking one of the most powerful (and misunderstood) chemicals in your brain: dopamine. We tend to think of it as the “feel-good” neurotransmitter—and it is, but when it's out of balance, it can quietly drive burnout, anxiety, depression, weight gain, addiction, and chronic stress.I'm sharing this because I've been there. Before I gave my life to Christ, I was chasing dopamine in all the wrong ways—shopping, overspending, unhealthy relationships, and quick fixes that only left me more depleted. And I see the same patterns everywhere today.If you've been feeling “off,” unmotivated, overwhelmed, or stuck in unhealthy cycles, this episode will help you understand why—and give you hope that balance is possible again.Chapter:[00:00] Podcast Preview[01:14] Introduction to Dopamine and Its Impact[02:38] What Dopamine Really Is (and Why We Chase It)[04:05] The Addictive Cycle of Dopamine Hits[06:17] How Dopamine Depletion Affects Mental Health[10:50] Physical Effects: Hormones, Weight & Immunity[13:15] Natural Ways to Boost Dopamine Levels[15:16] The Role of Lifestyle in Dopamine Balance[19:38] Sugar, Processed Foods & the Crash[20:55] Healthy Hobbies & Goal Setting[22:26] Supplements, Gut Health & Dopamine[23:32] Setting Goals and Achieving Dopamine Satisfaction[25:30] Conclusion and Looking Ahead P.S.

In the final episode of Season 7, Justin and Trish close out 2025 with one of their favorite annual conversations: reflecting on the year that's ending and preparing intentionally for the year ahead. This episode is equal parts honest, hilarious, and deeply vulnerable as they unpack the real stories, real struggles, and real growth that shaped their year—personally, spiritually, and relationally. Justin shares why fulfilled is the word that best captures his 2025, the surprising journey back to seminary, running a half marathon, and rediscovering purpose after seasons of disorientation and loss. Trish opens up about her word for the year—roller coaster—and what it was like to experience grief, joy, transition, and pressure all in rapid succession. Together they dive into: Why fulfillment is different from contentment How grief, transition, and healing shaped their choices Why they ditched resolutions years ago—and what they do instead The power of setting goals rooted in identity rather than shame If you're entering the new year feeling hopeful, hesitant, exhausted, overwhelmed, or ready for change—this episode will help you breathe, reflect, and take your next step with intention.
