141. From Reflection to Action: Transformative Goal Setting Techniques Part 1

Let’s talk about setting the stage for greatness, because if you’re not planning for success, you’re basically setting yourself up to fall flat. I’m breaking down the importance of goal setting—but not in that boring, surface-level way. We’re getting real about evaluating your goals through the lens of your actual time and energy. Because let’s face it: not every goal deserves your full attention, and some need to wait their turn. Before you dive headfirst into your next big ambition, we’re reflecting on last year—the wins, the losses, and everything in between. What did you crush? Where did you miss the mark? Spoiler alert: those missed opportunities and failures are pure gold when it comes to learning and growing. This isn’t just a “rah-rah, set goals” pep talk; it’s about building a roadmap that’s rooted in your unique journey.

We’re also diving into one of the most powerful tools for personal and professional growth: feedback. Yep, we’re embracing it, not dodging it, because feedback is your secret weapon to leveling up. I’m sharing how to use feedback as a launchpad for even more success, transforming critiques into actionable insights that help you adjust your course and crush it in the future. Whether it’s about refining your goals or tweaking your approach, feedback gives you the clarity you need to make smarter, bolder moves. If you’re ready to reflect, reassess, and set a future so solid it makes your past self jealous, this episode is for you. You’re capable of more than you think, and I’m here to help you own it! Tune in and let’s get to work.
