Should we even be setting Goals?

Hey team, as we begin to get ready to roll into the new year, we're going to be seeing a lot more about New Year's Resolutions and goal setting - but we're also going to be getting a lot of pushback articles as well. Articles telling us how setting goals is only setting us up for failure and what we need to do instead. And the question is, who do we believe?

In this episode, we're going to be examining some of the arguments against setting goals and also looking at what we might want to be doing instead and how we can combine that all into one overall theory.

This Episode's Top Tips

  1. Regardless if you want to call something a goal or not, breaking down a goal into its component parts and focusing on the process that's going to get you there is a better way to approach goal setting.
  2. We don't want to be striving for arbitrary numbers goal setting needs to have a why behind it to have any meaningful impact.
  3. We don't need to always hit our goals to be successful with them. Goals are often just targets we're aiming for, and we can always learn from our failures.
