Episode #37: 3 Ways to Make Sure Your Reach Your Goals
[2:50] 1. What is the difference between setting goals and setting intentions?
Intention = Why Power
Goal = “What” the specific result you're aiming for
[3:22] 2. Why is goal setting important and how can we find the purpose and “why” behind our goals?
Goal setting supports you in getting clear on your future
Challenges you to grow
Ask “why?” you want the goal until you find the core reason for wanting your goal
[4:24] 3. Do you believe that goal setting is for everyone?
Goal setting is similar for everyone, BUT you need to customize your Action Plan because goal achieving works differently for everyone
“The way you do one thing, is the way you do everything”
Time blocking + Scheduling

[11:10] 5. How do we create an action plan to achieve our goals?
It depends on your goal + how you complete tasks.
Essentially you want to create a roadmap of daily habits to help you get to your goal. The best way to do this is by reverse-engineering your goal; break it down into smaller “micro goals” and benchmark goals along the way.
[12:52] 6. How can we speed up the time it takes to achieve the goal?
a) Take MASSIVE Inspired Action!
b) Appreciate what you have right now, because it is enough!
[13:57] 7. How do you stay motivated to keep striving for your goals?
Come back to your why; your intention
Create incentives to stay inspired and motivated; celebrate the journey to reaching your goal!
[14:48] 8. How often should we create new goals?
My recommendation is 2-4 big goals per year, spaced out
Also consider creating different goals for different life categories, i.e. personal, finance, work/career, relationships, health, etc.
[15:20] 9. Best advice for creating a successful goal?
1) Create your S.M.A.R.T.E.R. Goal
2) Customize Your [Daily] Action Plan
3) Get Accountability + Support
4) Keep it Simple!
[17:18] 10. Do you have any book recommendations or resources for goal setting?
