Ep 603: The Point of Goals (best of the podcast)

Goals have a very specific purpose when it comes to creating what you want in your life and your business. And most perfectionists have never been taught what the point of goals is. So that's what I'm talking about in today's episode.

We perfectionists tend to either set a goal for every single area of our businesses or vague goals (like 'replace my income' or 'go full-time') or we don't have any goals and just hope for the best.

To our perfectionist brains, goals might create evidence that we're not good enough – so we either avoid having one clear goal that we're committed to for our businesses or we spend so long trying to set the perfect goal that it doesn't even get set at all.

Tune in to learn about the point of goals, how to avoid the common goal-setting mistakes that perfectionists make and how I approach goals so that I get the personal growth I want even if I don't achieve the goal itself.

If you're a perfectionist building a business, you want to listen to this episode today.
