Podcasts about smart goals

Good morning, good morning!  Welcome back to The Monday Morning Brew Series, where we sip something warm, shake off the weekend fog, and set the tone for a week that feels good in your body and your brain. I'm Luis, and today we're talking about something that might surprise you…Movement, but not the “exercise” kind.Not the gym membership.Not the perfect routine.Not the “I'll start Monday” pressure.I'm talking about fun movement.The kind you don't track.The kind you don't judge.The kind you don't overthink.And here's the twist, that kind of movement is incredible for your cognitive health.So grab your coffee, settle in, and let's brew something good together.SEGMENT 1: WHY “EXERCISE” FEELS HEAVYLet's be honest, the word “exercise” carries a lot of baggage.For many people, it brings up:• Pressure• Comparison• Sometimes that Old gym‑class trauma• The feeling of “I'm not doing enough”• Or just… boredomBut movement?Movement is different. Movement is human. Movement is natural. Movement is joyful.When we take away the rules, the reps, the calorie counting, and the pressure, movement becomes something we want to do, not something we feel guilty about avoiding and here's the cool part:Your brain doesn't care whether you're doing a structured workout or dancing in your kitchen. It just loves that you're moving.SEGMENT 2: HOW FUN MOVEMENT BOOSTS YOUR BRAINLet's talk cognitive health but in a simple, real‑life way.When you move your body, even lightly, your brain gets:• Increased blood flow• More oxygen• A boost in neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin• Better communication between brain regions• Improved memory and focusAnd here's the kicker, fun movement actually lights up more areas of the brain than forced exercise.Why you ask? Because when you're enjoying yourself, your brain releases reward chemicals that make learning, creativity, and problem‑solving easier. So yes, dancing while you make breakfast That's brain health. Walking your dog while listening to music? Brain health. Cleaning your house with a little extra groove? YOUUU GUESSED IT! Brain health. Your brain doesn't need a treadmill.It just needs you to move.SEGMENT 3: WHAT COUNTS AS “FUN MOVEMENT”?Let's break this down, because fun movement is way more accessible than people think.Here are some examples:• Dancing in your living room• Walking with a friend• Playing with your kids or pets• Stretching while watching TV• Gardening• Roller skating / Bike riding• Swimming• Doing a silly TikTok dance• Cleaning with music• Chair dancing at your desk• A mini dance break between tasksIf it gets your body moving and your mood lifted, it counts, and the best part? You don't need to be good at it. You don't need to look a certain way doing it. You don't need to track it or measure it. Just move because it feels good.SEGMENT 4: THE MINDSET SHIFTHere's the mindset shift I want you to take into this week: “Movement is a gift, not a punishment.”You're not moving to earn food. You're not moving to fix your body. You're not moving to meet someone else's standard. You're moving because:• It boosts your mood• It clears your mind• It reduces stress• It helps you think better• It makes you feel aliveWhen you remove the pressure, movement becomes something you look forward to not something you avoid.SEGMENT 5: A 60‑SECOND GUIDED MOMENTLet's take a quick moment together. Wherever you are... sitting, standing, sipping your coffee... I want you to roll your shoulders back. Take a breath. Wiggle your fingers. Wiggle your toes. Maybe sway a little side to side. That's movement. That's presence. That's you reconnecting with your body. And your brain loves it.SEGMENT 6: THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: “Move for Joy” Alright, here's your Monday Morning Brew challenge for the week.THE CHALLENGE: “Move for Joy"Every day this week, I want you to do 5 minutes of fun movement.Not exercise. Not a workout. Just movement that feels good.Here are some ideas:• Dance to one song• Walk around the block• Stretch in bed• Do a silly wiggle break• Play with your pet• March in place while your coffee brewsFive minutes. No rules. No pressure. Just joy. And if you want to level up, share your favorite fun movement moment with someone. Spread the energy.As you head into your Monday, remember this... Movement doesn't have to be serious to be meaningful. It doesn't have to be structured to be beneficial. It doesn't have to be perfect to count.Your brain loves when you move. Your mood loves when you move. Your future self loves when you move. So this week, move because it feels good. Move because it brings you joy. Move because it helps you think clearer, breathe deeper, and show up as the best version of yourself.This is Luis, and you've been listening to The Monday Morning Brew. Go make today a good one and don't forget to dance a little.If this episode helped you, share it with someone who's working on their health and may feel a bit overwhelmed on where to start.  As always, be a kind human, let's continue to help, to lift each-other up whenever possible... and when it seems really tough, look for the helpers, and do your part as well, make sure that when someone looks for the Helpers, they see YOU, that way You can contribute as well and be the change you want to see in the world...thank you, thank you for sharing this time to listen to us and we will see you again soon, have a great rest of your day!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/fittalk-with-coach-luis--3261827/support.TEAM LTP:My IG: @livetoprogressVoice-over credits

Let's jump into today's topic: using your analytics to set your future SMART goals. In 2023, we surveyed over 900 retail business owners in the craft space. One of the most shocking data points was that only 14% were collecting marketing data — and even more shocking, only 4% were using that data to inform strategy.

Welcome back to the Monday Morning Brew series! Today we're talking about something that can feel complicated, emotional, and honestly… overwhelming for a lot of people: nutrition.But don't worry, this isn't a diet episode.This isn't a “cut everything out” episode.This is a "kindness" episode.Because February is all about intentional movement, consistency, and showing up for yourself. And part of showing up is fueling your body in a way that supports your energy, your mood, and your confidence without stress, guilt, or perfection.So today, we're breaking down simple, realistic nutrition habits that you can start this month… and actually keep. Let's get into it.SEGMENT 1: WHY NUTRITION FEELS HARDLet's be honest, nutrition is one of the most confusing parts of health.There's so much noise out there:“Eat this, not that.”“Cut carbs.”“Only eat clean.”“Try this new trend.”It's exhausting.And for a lot of people, food is emotional.It's comfort. It's culture. It's connection. It's coping.So when someone says “just eat better,” it's not helpful.What is helpful is focusing on small, doable habits that support your body without taking over your life. That's what we're doing today.SEGMENT 2: HABIT #1 HYDRATION MADE EASYLet's start with the simplest habit: hydration.Most people walk around dehydrated and don't even realize it and dehydration affects:Energy, Mood, Digestion, Cravings, Headaches, Motivation.So here's your February hydration habit:Drink one extra bottle or glass of water each day.... that's it! Not a gallon.Not a strict schedule.Just one extra.If you want to make it even easier:Keep a bottle near youAdd lemon or fruitDrink a glass before your morning coffeePair water with a daily habit (like brushing your teeth)Small hydration wins add up fast.SEGMENT 3: HABIT #2 ADD, DON'T RESTRICTHere's a mindset shift that changes everything: Instead of focusing on what to cut out… focus on what to add in.Restriction creates stress. Addition creates balance.Here are simple “add‑ins” for February:Add a serving of fruit to breakfastAdd a vegetable to one meal a dayAdd a source of protein to your snacksAdd a handful of nuts or seedsAdd a fiber‑rich food like berries, oats, or beansWhen you add nourishing foods, your body naturally feels better and you don't feel deprived. This approach is gentle, sustainable, and perfect for listeners who struggle with all‑or‑nothing thinking.SEGMENT 4: HABIT #3 PROTEIN FOR ENERGY + SATIETYLet's talk about protein, not in a bodybuilder way, but in a "support your energy" way.Protein helps keep you full, Stabilize blood sugar, Support muscle recovery, Improve mood and focus.Here are easy February protein wins:Greek yogurt, Eggs, Chicken or turkey, Beans or lentils, Cottage cheese, Tofu, Protein shakes, Tuna packets, Nuts or nut butter.Your habit for this week: Add one source of protein to at least one meal or snack each day and keep it under 30 grams per MEAL. That's it... Simple, Supportive, Doable.SEGMENT 5: HABIT #4 LISTEN TO YOUR BODY, NOT THE INTERNETThis one is big. Your body is always communicating with you, but most of us are too busy, stressed, or distracted to listen.This month, try this: Pause before you eat and ask: “What does my body need right now?”Not “What should I eat?”Not “What's the healthiest option?”Just… “What do I need?”Maybe you need something warm.Maybe you need something hydrating.Maybe you need something grounding.Maybe you need something with protein.Maybe you need something comforting, and that's okay too.Listening builds trust.And trust builds healthier habits.SEGMENT 6: HABIT #5 THE 80% FULL CHECK-IN Here's a gentle habit that helps with overeating without restriction: Pause halfway through your meal and check in with your fullness.Ask yourself:Am I still hungry?Am I satisfied?Am I eating out of habit?Am I eating because it tastes good?Am I eating because I'm distracted?You don't have to stop eating.You don't have to change anything.Just check in.Awareness IS the habit.SEGMENT 7: WEEKLY CHALLENGE “Fuel With Intention” Alright, here's your February nutrition challenge for the week.THE CHALLENGE: “Fuel With Intention”For the next 7 days, choose one of these habits:Drink one extra glass or bottle of waterAdd one fruit or vegetable to your dayAdd one source of protein to a meal or snackDo one 80% fullness check‑inPause before eating and ask, “What do I need?”Just one.Not all five.Not perfection.Choose the one that feels the most supportive right now.Nutrition doesn't have to be overwhelming. It doesn't have to be restrictive. It doesn't have to be stressful.It can be simple. It can be gentle. It can be supportive. This February, focus on fueling your body with kindness, one small habit at a time.If this episode helped you, share it with someone who's working on their health this month. And stay tuned, we've got a really neat charity event coming up in March that Velotric, an e-bike company will be sponsoring and you have a chance to win an E-bike! As always, be a kind human, let's help each-other whenever possible, like Mr Rogers said, look for the helpers, make sure when someone looks for the Helpers, they see YOU, be the change you want to see in the world and thank you thank you for sharing this time to listen to us and we will see you again soon, have a great rest of your day! See you in the next episode!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/fittalk-with-coach-luis--3261827/support.TEAM LTP:My IG: @livetoprogressVoice-over credits

Mental Health: Hope and Recovery Episode Title: How Helen and Valerie (Mostly) Outsmart Negativity Episode 63 | Duration 47:45 Hosts: Helen Sneed & Valerie Milburn EPISODE OVERVIEW On the brink of the new year, Valerie and Helen do a deep search into the reasons why new year's resolutions so often end in failure and negativity. From their exploration, the ways to outsmart negativity and to pursue something better with a positive outcome become clear and doable. They discover that the strongest course for outsmarting negativity is to replace resolutions with goals. As they bring their insights and examples to the table, the path forward with strategic goal-setting becomes clear.  The objective of the episode is to educate and equip the listener with a large body of information that informs and inspires the creation of a manageable path to achieving a heartfelt goal. Included are strategies, skills, methods, and examples from their own lived experiences. Particular focus is on the mechanics of goal-setting: how to build and sustain a feasible plan with manageable steps. How to overcome procrastination, self-doubt, and setbacks. Mindfulness, acceptance, flexibility, and relationships are critical building blocks to outwitting the negativity and doubt that can stop all forward action. For our hosts, the single greatest way to outsmart negativity is to develop a brain that can create optimistic thoughts, nurture the positive, and develop new techniques to dismiss negative expectation. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ·      Why resolutions often fail and goals often lead to real progress  ·      How SMART goals can be a conduit to commitment and success ·      How skills such as mindfulness and acceptance keep you on track and engaged in the positive ·      How to navigate setbacks without abandoning your goals or the capacity to fight negativity TOOLS AND TAKEAWAYS ·      Resolutions vs. Goals:  Resolutions are strict decisions without structure; goals require action, planning, and flexibility ·      SMART Goals provide a framework for effective goal setting with the following criteria. The goal should be: o   Specific  o   Measurable o   Achievable  o   Relevant  o   Time-bound  ·      Dialectical Behavior Therapy: DBT provides a wide range of goal-seeking skills ·      Mindfulness and Acceptance: They offer many options and activities for overcoming negativity and the positive pursuit of goals. ·      Relationships: Support through individuals and community provides accountability, encouragement, and improved self-image. MEMORABLE QUOTES “Big ambition without an achievable plan is a setup for failure.” – Helen “Acceptance is not endorsement—it's simply recognizing reality as it is.” –Valerie “Goals bring values from theory into practice.” – Helen RESOUCES AND LINKS MENTIONED Mental Health: Hope and Recovery Podcast, Episode 9: Goal Setting: A Necessity for Recovery https://mentalhealthhopeandrecovery.com/episode/goal-setting-a-necessity-for-recovery Mindfulness exercise adapted from https://MindfulnessExercises.com Website: https://MentalHealthHopeAndRecovery.com CONNECT WITH US Website: https://MentalHealthHopeAndRecovery.com Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms RELATED EPISODES Mental Health: Hope and Recovery Podcast, Episode 9: Goal Setting: A Necessity for Recovery https://mentalhealthhopeandrecovery.com/episode/goal-setting-a-necessity-for-recovery Mental Health: Hope and Recovery Podcast, Episode 60: Dialectical Behavior Therapy—The Journey from Pain to Purpose https://mentalhealthhopeandrecovery.com/episode/dialectical-behavior-therapy-the-journey-from-pain-to-purpose  DISCLAIMER This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not provide medical advice.

Welcome back! Today we're stepping into Week Four of your SMART fitness journey... the wrap‑up, the checkpoint, the moment where we pause and look at everything you've built over the last three weeks. If you've been here since Week One, you've shown courage, consistency, and a whole lot of heart and if you're joining us now, you're right on time because today is all about reflection, momentum, and setting yourself up for what comes next. Let's dive in!Let's take a moment to look at how far you've come.Week OneYou set your SMART goal.You showed up.You proved to yourself that you could start even if it wasn't perfect, even if it felt messy.Week TwoYou strengthened your streak.You learned how to stay accountable without shame.You discovered that consistency isn't about intensity, it's about returning.Week ThreeYou upgraded your identity.You moved with intention.You completed four days of movement and proved that you're becoming the kind of person who honors their body on purpose.That's not small.That's not accidental.That's growth. And now, in Week Four, we're taking everything you've learned and turning it into momentum.Week Four isn't about pushing harder. It's about integration. This is the week where you ask:What habits are stickingWhat habits need adjustingWhat habits feel goodWhat habits feel forcedWhat habits are becoming part of who I amWeek Four is your chance to refine, not restart. You're not going back to zero. You're building on a foundation you've already created.Here's your official Week Four Listener Challenge. “The Momentum Checkpoint”Over the next 7 days, complete this simple three‑part reflection:1. What worked? Think about the last three weeks.What habits felt natural?What actions made you feel proud?What routines actually fit your life?2. What needs adjusting?Not judging, adjusting.Maybe your workouts were too long.Maybe your schedule needs flexibility.Maybe you need more rest days.Maybe you need more variety.Adjusting is a sign of wisdom, not weakness.3. What's one habit you want to carry into next month?Just one. Not five. Not ten.One habit that feels meaningful, doable, and aligned with who you're becoming.This challenge helps you transition from “I'm trying” to “This is part of my life now.”Let's talk about long‑term accountability, the kind that lasts beyond January.Here are a few ways to stay grounded:1. Keep your goals flexible. Life changes. Schedules shift.Your goals should move with you, not against you.2. Use identity‑based languageInstead of “I'm trying to work out,”say “I'm someone who moves my body.”Instead of “I'm trying to drink more water,”say “I'm someone who stays hydrated.”Identity fuels consistency.3. Build community. Share your wins. Share your struggles. Invite someone into your journey.Accountability grows stronger when it's shared.4. Celebrate the small stuff. Every walk. Every stretch. Every mindful moment.Every return after a setback.Small wins build big momentumTake a deep breath with me.Think about the version of yourself who started this journey.Now think about the version of yourself today.What's different?What's stronger?What's softer?What's more aware? Now ask yourself:What do I want the next 30 days to feel likeWhat kind of energy do I want to carry forwardWhat's one promise I can make to myself that feels kind and realisticHold onto those answers.They're your roadmap for the next chapter.Week Four isn't the end, it's the checkpoint. It's the moment where you recognize your growth, honor your effort, and choose your next step with intention.You've built consistency.You've built confidence. You've built identity.And now, you're ready for whatever comes next.If this Monday Morning Brew series has helped you, share it with someone who's starting their own journey and as always be kind to one another and be the change you want to see in the world!Stay tuned for next week, because we'll share some of our own tips and tricks that we use to stay consistent and accountable throughout the week and we'll talk about the importance of fueling properly before and after our workouts!

How To Set SMART Goals? by Radio Islam

Welcome back! Hope you are all having a great start to your Day, grabbing your marinated bean water or tea and I have to say I'm so thankful you choose to listen to us and I hope that we help kickoff your Day in a positive and focused way! Well today we're stepping into Week Three of your SMART fitness journey. If you've made it this far, take a second and acknowledge that. Most people fall off after Week One. But not You! You're still here. You're still showing up. That matters. Week Three is where your habits start to take shape. It's where your brain begins to recognize, “Oh… we're doing this now.” But it's also where boredom, doubt, or life's distractions can creep in. So today, we're talking about how to upgrade your consistency, keep your momentum alive, and stay connected to your “why.”SEGMENT 1: WHAT MAKES WEEK THREE UNIQUEWeek Three is a turning point. Not because you're suddenly doing harder workouts, but because you're building identity.In Week One, you were trying something new. In Week Two, you were proving you could stick with it. But in Week Three? You're becoming the kind of person who moves their body on purpose.This is where fitness shifts from a task… to a lifestyle. But here's the catch: Week Three is also when the novelty wears off. You might feel:A little boredA little tiredA little tempted to skipOr even a little unsure if you're making progressAll of that is normal. It doesn't mean you're failing whatsoever, it means you're transitioning.This week is about leaning into the routine, not running from it.SEGMENT 2: RECONNECTING WITH YOUR “WHY”I'd love to pause and reconnect with something important... your “why.”Why did you start this journey?What were you hoping to feel?What were you hoping to change?What were you hoping to prove to yourself? Your “why” is your anchor.It's the thing that keeps you going when motivation fades. Take a moment and bring that reason back to the front of your mind. That's what's going to carry you through Week Three.SEGMENT 3: THE WEEK THREE CHALLENGE — “THE CONSISTENCY UPGRADE”Alright, here's your official Week Three Listener Challenge. “4‑Day Consistency Upgrade”. For the next 7 days, your goal is simple: Complete 4 days of intentional movement, any style, any length. Not perfection. Not intensity. Just four days where you choose to move your body on purpose.Movement options include:A 20‑minute walkA 10‑minute strength routineA stretching or mobility sessionA dance breakA yoga flowA beginner cardio videoA bike rideA swimA hikeEven cleaning or yard work if it gets your heart rate up The goal is intentional movement, not performance.You may be wondering Why this works:It strengthens your habit loop, It builds confidence, It keeps your goals flexible, It reduces the “start over Monday” cycle, It helps you feel proud of your consistency. Four days. That's it.You can absolutely do this.SEGMENT 4: ACCOUNTABILITY BOOSTERS FOR WEEK THREE:Let's talk about how to stay accountable this week as always without shame, without pressure.1. Use a simple tracking system A calendar. A notes app. A whiteboard. A sticky note on your fridge. Whatever works for you! Seeing your progress keeps your brain engaged.2. Celebrate the small winsDid you move for 10 minutes? That counts.Did you stretch instead of skipping entirely? That counts too. Small wins stack up.3. Pair your movement with something enjoyableA favorite playlist.A podcast episode.A walk with a friend.A show you only watch while on the treadmill. Pleasure makes habits stick.4. Don't let one missed day turn into a missed weekIf you skip a day, don't spiral.Just pick up where you left off.Consistency is built on returning, not perfection.SEGMENT 5: QUICK GUIDED REFLECTIONTake a breath with me.Think about the version of yourself you're becoming.The one who moves with intention. The one who honors their body. The one who shows up even when it's not exciting. Now ask yourself:What's one small action I can take today to support that version of me?How do I want to feel at the end of this week?What would make me proud seven days from now?Think on these, I'd even suggest writing down and holding onto those answers.They're your compass for Week Three.Week Three is where consistency becomes identity.Where effort becomes routine.Where small steps start to feel natural.You don't need to be perfect.You don't need to be intense.You just need to keep showing up, four days this week, with intention and compassion.Well that's a wrap! If this episode helped you, share it with someone who's on their own fitness journey.As always, thank you for taking time out of your Day to join us! Remember to be kind to yourself and to be kind to each-other, be helpful, be useful and tell your loved ones how much you love them, call that friend who crossed your mind randomly and just say hi! Pay it forward... buy that person behind you in the drive-thru a coffee, just spread love and kindness whenever you can and above all, be the change you want to see in the world!See you next time! And get ready! Week Four is the wrap up episode for this "SMART goals series" to kick off the New Years. February is where we start talking about momentum, confidence, and long‑term sustainability.

The way you've been setting personal goals is the very thing holding you back from living your biggest life. It's time to ditch the SMART framework and finally create goals that align with the woman you're becoming.Episode Summary:In this week's fiery episode, Laurie dismantles one of the most overused—and misused—tools in personal development: the SMART goal framework. You've been told to make your goals specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. But when it comes to midlife transformation and building your actual BEST LIFE? That framework might be doing more harm than good.Laurie explains why applying a corporate goal-setting system to your deeply personal hopes, dreams, and desires keeps you stuck in external validation and false deadlines. She dives into why midlife is the exact moment to let go of achievable, "relevant," and time-bound goals—and finally start designing your own definition of success.You'll learn:Why throwaway goals feel good—but don't change your lifeHow focusing on what's “achievable” shrinks your visionWhy setting personal goals based on relevance is total BSThe sneaky toxicity of arbitrary deadlinesHow to shift from performance-driven goals to purpose-driven dreamsShe also introduces the BEST LIFE™ framework—a game-changing, trademarked system she uses with all her coaching clients to move from burnout to breakthrough.If 2026 is the year you finally start living for you, this episode is a must-listen.Resources Mentioned:Click here to learn more about 1:1 or group coachingFollow Laurie on Instagram: @schoolofmidlifeTake the Conversation Deeper:Laurie wants to hear from YOU.

Most New Year's resolutions don't fail because we don't care. They fail because we try to change everything at once, without a plan that fits our real life, our real energy, and the season we are actually in.In this episode of the Visibly Fit Podcast, I'm walking you through how to create truly sustainable health goals. These are goals that don't burn you out by February, but carry you forward all year long. We talk about why 80 percent of resolutions fail, how to use SMART goals effectively, and why small, consistent habits will always outperform extreme motivation.We also explore the powerful connection between movement and mental health. Simple activities like walking, stretching, and strength training can naturally improve focus, reduce anxiety, ease depression, and support better brain function. I share real-life examples, practical ideas you can start today, and encouragement if you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or behind.Be sure to listen all the way through to the end, where you will hear Kim's testimony, a powerful real-life story from someone inside our Visibly Fit Community who put these principles into action and experienced meaningful, lasting change.Let's make this a year of habits that stick, health that lasts, and momentum you can actually feel.Chapter:[00:00] Podcast Preview[01:10] Welcome & New Year Resolutions[02:30] Common Health Goals for 2026 (Weight, Strength, Stress)[07:00] Why 80% of Resolutions Fail by February[07:30] How to Set SMART Goals That Work[12:22] Identifying What You Actually Enjoy[13:27] Building Habits That Stick Over Time[16:10] Movement & Mental Health Connection[20:00] Tracking Progress Without Obsession[20:53] Why Community Is Essential for Health[23:33] Visibly Fit Community[24:45] Encouragement for a Healthier 2026[25:19] Kim's Testimony P.S.

Welcome back everyone! As you all know this Podcast's purpose is to be able to come together and talk about growth, courage, and the small steps that help us build a healthier, kinder life. We are your hosts today, Luis & Ashlee, and today we're diving into Week One of your SMART fitness goals, that crucial first stretch where excitement meets reality.If you've set fitness goals for the new year, this episode is for you. If you meant to set goals but haven't started yet, this episode is also for you.And if you're already feeling yourself slipping a little… you're definitely in the right place. Let's get into it. We'll go into "WHY WEEK ONE MATTERS" Week One is powerful. It sets the tone. It builds momentum. It teaches your brain, “Hey, we're doing this now.” But Week One is also where people tend to overdo it, burn out, or get discouraged. So today, we're going to slow it down and focus on SMART goals.Last week we touched on what those are, but just as a quick refresher here, smart goals that are: Specific / Measurable / Achievable / Relevant / Time‑bound and we're going to talk about how to stay accountable in a way that feels supportive, not stressful. Because fitness isn't punishment. It's a form of self‑respect."SETTING YOUR WEEK ONE SMART FITNESS GOAL"Let's walk through a simple Week One SMART goal. A lot of people start with something like: “I'm going to work out every day for an hour.” That sounds great… until life happens.A SMART Week One goal might look like: “For the next 7 days, I'll walk for 15 minutes, three times this week, to boost my energy and build consistency. ”Notice the difference: It's clear, It's doable, It's flexible, It builds confidence instead of pressure. Here are a few more. Week One SMART fitness goal examples: “I'll stretch for 5 minutes every morning before I check my phone.” “I'll drink one extra glass of water each day this week.” “I'll do a 10‑minute beginner workout on Tuesday and Thursday.” Week One is about showing up, not showing off.Let's dive into the next piece: "HOW TO TRACK YOUR FIRST WEEK" Tracking is where SMART goals come alive. It turns invisible effort into visible progress.Here are simple ways to track Week One:A calendar with check-marksA notes appA fitness appA whiteboardA sticky note on your mirrorThe method doesn't matter. What matters is that you can see your consistency. Because when you see progress, you want to keep going.Let's talk about "ACCOUNTABILITY WITHOUT SHAME". Let's talk accountability, the supportive kind, not the “beat yourself up” kind. Here are four ways to stay accountable in Week One:Choose an accountability partner who roots for youNot someone who pressures you. Someone who says, “How can I support you today?”Celebrate micro‑wins. Did you walk for 10 minutes instead of 15? That's still a win. You showed up.Adjust instead of abandoning. If your goal feels too big, shrink it. If it feels too small, grow it. Adjusting is not failing, it's strategizing.Use “habit anchors” Attach your fitness action to something you already do: After brushing your teeth → stretchAfter lunch → take a 10‑minute walkAfter work → fill your water bottleAnchors make habits automatic. aka habit stacking"WHAT TO EXPECT EMOTIONALLY IN WEEK ONE"Let's be real. Week One isn't just physical. It's emotional.You might feel:ExcitedNervousImpatientProudDoubtfulAll of the aboveThis is normal.Your brain is adjusting to a new pattern. Your body is waking up. Your mindset is shifting. So just give yourself grace guys..You're not supposed to be perfect... you're supposed to be present."A QUICK GUIDED REFLECTION"Take a breath with me. Think about the fitness goal you set. Now ask yourself:Why does this matter to me?How do I want to feel at the end of this week?What's one small action I can take today to support that feeling?Hold onto that answer. That's your anchor.If you're starting your fitness journey this week, I'm proud of you. If you're restarting, I'm proud of you too and if you're listening because you want to feel inspired again… you're already on your way. Thanks for joining us today on the Podcast!If this episode helped you, share it with someone who's setting their own goals this year.And remember — kindness, consistency, and small steps will take you farther than perfection ever will. So as always be kind to yourself and everyone else, be that change you want to see in the world and keep being You!See you next time! Tip of the Day:Week One is about building trust with yourself. Every small step counts. Every checkmark matters. Every moment you choose to show up, even for five minutes, is a victory.Shoutouts!

Welcome to a monumental episode! As we close out 2025, we are not only giving you the ultimate blueprint for strategic goal setting but also making the huge announcement that Real Estate Investing is branching out from the Master Passive Income Network to become The Equity Builders Club Podcast—specializing in Canadian and Montreal real estate strategy!This transition exemplifies the power of specific goals, which is the core of today's topic: Why you must stop relying on vague New Year's Resolutions.This episode dives deep into the strategic methods used by successful investors and high performers. You'll learn how to apply the well-known SMART Goal framework (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-bound) to complex real estate scenarios, moving beyond simple concepts like weight loss and property acquisition to tackle challenges like improving your professional network and quantifying hard-to-measure skills.Crucially, we explore the difference between Outcome Goals (like "buy a building") and Habit Goals (like "make one offer a week"). Outcome goals point the way, but it's the consistent habits—the daily actions—that actually generate long-term equity and financial freedom. We discuss why focusing solely on outcomes often leads to frustration and how aligning your habits with your "big why" is the secret to enduring motivation and change.Tune in to learn:How to apply the SMART criteria to real estate goals (from property acquisition to network growth).The essential role of Habit Goals in manifesting your investment outcomes.Why deep alignment with your goals (your "big why") is the non-negotiable key to sustaining difficult behavioral change.Full details on the rebrand to The Equity Builders Club and our new focus on Canadian real estate for 2026.Don't miss this final episode before the pivot!

Welp, it's almost 2026! Today we're breaking down how to set New Year's goals that actually stick, without pressure, guilt, or perfectionism. Just clarity, compassion, and small steps forward.Let's jump in!Step 1: WHAT MAKES A GOAL SMARTSMART goals are:• Specific• Measurable• Achievable• Relevant• Time‑boundMost goals fail because they're too vague. “Get healthier,” “be more confident,” “save money” — great intentions, zero clarity. SMART goals give you a roadmap instead of a wish.Step 2: THE KINDER APPROACHBefore you set any goal, ask yourself:• Does this goal come from pressure or from purpose?• Does it make my life heavier or lighter?• Is this something I want, or something I think I should want?When your goals come from self‑compassion, they last longer.Step 3: QUICK SMART GOAL EXAMPLESLet's take “I want to get healthier.”SMART version:“For the next 30 days, I'll walk 10 minutes a day to boost my energy.”Or “I want to be more confident.”SMART version:“Every Monday, I'll write down one thing I did well that week.”Small. Clear. Doable.Step 4: MICRO‑GOALSMicro‑goals are tiny actions that build momentum:• Drink one extra glass of water• Read for five minutes• Clean one drawer• Spend 10 minutes on a creative projectThese small wins build trust with yourself — and trust fuels consistency.Step 5: ACCOUNTABILITY WITHOUT SHAMEAccountability doesn't have to feel like judgment. It can be supportive:• Share your goal with someone who roots for you• Track progress visually• Celebrate tiny wins, you can do this by tracking what you are doing, whether with an app or journal etc• Adjust the goal when life changes, life is what happens on the way to your plans, so learn to pivot! you only fail when you quit, so don't...Accountability should feel like partnership, not pressure.As you step into the new year, remember: you don't need a new version of yourself — just a clearer, kinder plan for the version you already are. If this episode helped you, share it with someone who's setting goals too. And if you're working on your own SMART goals, I'd love to hear them. See you next time!TEAM LTP:My IG: @livetoprogressVoice-over credits

You'll hear people tell you that you need to create “SMART Goals” or that “You have to make your professional goals line up with your personal goals.” Or, “The best way to develop your future self is to create an action plan of smaller goals moving you toward more attainable goals.”I suppose that all of those things are true. But my advice is not to overly complicate the process. In “plain speak,” figure out where you want to go, determine a route to get you there, and start moving.Here is the step-by-step goal-setting process that I use.1) Create a Clear Vision of Where You Are Heading (Long-Term Goals).2) Define Your Milestones (Your Midterm Goals).3) Set Daily and Weekly Action Plans to Move You Toward the Next Milestone (Short-Term Goals).4) Track Your Progress Visibly Along the Way. (That's One More Mile Down.)5) Review Your Goals Regularly and Make Adjustments When Needed.On this episode, I'm going to cover each of these steps in more detail.Show Notes: Set Clear Goals to Move Toward Your Vision for Success(https://www.buildingyourteam.com/create-clear-goals-to-move-toward-your-vision-for-success/)

In this episode, we get into his data-backed findings on how men and women use time differently at work, why only 20% of your time is actually spent on your highest priorities (ouch), and how organisations are quietly burning out their teams without even realising it.We talk practical fixes, bad email habits, smarter meetings, and how measuring what matters can transform your team's output. Oh, and we get poetic too — literally. Mark shares his quirky (and surprisingly powerful) book The Poetic Path to Getting More Done and even drops a goal-setting rhyme that's better than your last TED Talk.If you're a founder, manager, or just someone whose to-do list is longer than your week — this one's for you.

Summary In this episode, Andy welcomes Coach Tony Weaver, author of Project Manage Your Life: Your Blueprint for Achieving Any Goal — One Step at a Time. After decades of leading complex IT, marketing, and transformation projects, Tony turned his project management skills inward and used them to lose over 100 pounds. That journey sparked a new mission: helping others apply the same proven methods to their own goals, whether it's health, finances, career, or just finally following through on something important. In this conversation, you'll hear how to turn vague intentions into measurable, motivating goals. Tony shares how to break down big ambitions into doable milestones, track your progress without becoming a slave to the data, and stay consistent with joy instead of burnout. He unpacks what SMART goals actually look like in the real world and explains why the project mindset can transform not just what you achieve, but how you feel while doing it. If you're looking for practical ideas to move forward on goals that matter to you, at work or at home, this episode is for you! Sound Bites “Project management absolutely changed my life.” “Life is agile.” “Every goal is a project. Project management is just applying structure to that goal.” “Your brain doesn't care about your happiness. It cares about keeping you safe. That's why it resists change.” “Once you build confidence in yourself, the goal you set becomes just a jumping-off point.” “Setting a goal is an act of hope. It says that tomorrow can be better than today.” “Track what you can control. Influence is important, but control drives change.” “Focus on the things you control. Keep an eye on the results, but don't obsess about them.” “The safest place to be is in your comfort zone, not trying.” “Some numbers matter. Some are interesting. Some aren't even interesting.” “Letting a goal die of loneliness? That's a recipe for regret.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:36 Start of Interview 02:00 How Project Management Led to a New Mission 06:14 Mentorship, Coaching, and Project Management in Life 07:40 What Project Management Looks Like in Everyday Terms 11:20 Why Good Intentions Don't Lead to Change 13:10 Why Most People Don't Set Goals 15:24 Setting a Goal as an Act of Hope 18:00 Common Goal-Setting Mistakes and How to Fix Them 21:30 Building a Plan that Actually Works for You 23:50 Why You Should Plan Celebration, Not Just Completion 24:38 How to Track Progress Without Obsessing Over Data 29:20 The Danger of Focusing Too Much on Lagging Indicators 30:45 Two Client Success Stories 34:34 Where to Learn More About Coach Tony 35:28 End of Interview 36:03 Andy Comments After the Interview 39:05 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about Tony and his work at OperationMelt.com.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Down 21–7 in the fourth? That's how most trainers feel when goals are vague, leads are random, and revenue wobbles. We flip that script with a practical playbook: define KPIs, run 90-day sprints, test weekly like an athlete, and hold public accountability so momentum has nowhere to hide. Think sports strategy meets small-business execution—clear metrics, tactical pivots, and simple scripts you can use today.We walk through a SWIFT-style review cadence that turns reflection into action: strengths to double down on, weaknesses you block time to fix, and the improvements, implementations, and innovations that compound results. You'll hear how to build a full book without waiting on algorithms—client appreciation invites that spark referrals, storefront intros that plant local roots, and discovery calls that convert because the questions are better. We even dig into pricing with confidence: tie rate increases to skill upgrades, invite clients to sponsor your growth, and communicate the plan with candor and care.There's a reason great coaches obsess over numbers. We break down the KPIs that matter for trainers—leads per week, show-up and close rates, ARPC, content-to-call conversion—and show how to read them like a dugout watches pitch counts. You'll leave with a 90-day roadmap: daily story prompts with polls, a DM follow-up system, a weekly beta test, and a review cycle that makes iteration inevitable. Ready to stop “wanting more clients” and start winning the quarter? Tap play, build your plan, and tell us your first move.
