Why can’t I stick to long-term goals? A free-spirited guide to feminine goal setting.
Manage episode 427263325 series 3490027
It’s happened, petal. We’ve passed the point of no return.
The 2024 halfway mark is upon (and behind) us and besides the sub-zero temperatures inside the homes of Australia (thanks, un-insulation), there’s something else lurking amidst the solo business owners among us.
The looming list of goals we set for ourselves at the beginning of the year.
If you’re anything like me, your goals chart would look a little like this, with some goals sitting in the 100% bucket (usually something instant like ‘cancel Netflix subscription’) (also, said nobody’s goal, ever), some sitting in the 0% bucket (if I hated running for the duration of 2012 - 2023, the probability of a sudden interest in 2024 was slim at best) and most scraping in at about 18%.
For some of you, this might induce a sense of panic, dread and anxiety. ‘Not AGAIN’, we groan, lamenting the thought of yet another’s year passing us by, another opportunity lost.
Let’s hold up RIGHT there, babes. If you are a goal setter, if you’ve been setting and re-setting goals in January, July, December, year after year after year and you’re absolutely done with literally copying and pasting your goals list from last year to your goals list for this year, this is a blog post [podcast episode] that will completely change your capacity to set and achieve the goals you want to achieve. If you’re a free-spirited business owner and you’re finding yourself stuck in this cycle of work sprints followed by burnout (and repeat), this process will help you regain some of that fun, feminine, free-spirited energy you’ve been missing.
I’m going to walk you through:
- Why it’s so hard to achieve the goals we set for ourselves at the beginning of the year, no matter our intentions
- Why motivation (or lack of it) doesn’t matter when it comes to goal setting (and what you need to focus on instead)
- The giant gaping step we’re missing as feminine solo business owners when it comes to goal setting (and the real reason we ‘fail’ at achieving the goals we set)
- The free-spirited four step method I use to reverse engineer and set the goals I want to achieve as a business owner
- How you can apply this to your own goal setting process and start to make your 2024 goals happen
- How this method will seriously change your perspective when it comes to the labels you attach to yourself around ‘failing’
