106. The Anti-Goal Goal-Setting Strategy: 3 Tweaks That Change Everything
Episode 106
So many people set goals totally wrong. They focus on outcomes they can't control, ignore their real schedules and life constraints, and wait for January 1st like it's some magical starting point... and then they wonder why they quit by their New Year’s resolutions by February.
In this episode, I reveal a different approach: the anti-goal goal-setting strategy. This isn't about avoiding goals altogether (obviously we need goals). Instead, it's about setting them in a way that’s realistic and attainable.
I'm breaking down the three biggest mistakes people make when setting goals (whether it's New Year's resolutions or any other time of year) and giving you the specific solutions for each one. These aren't just woo-woo mindset ideas… they're practical strategies you can apply immediately to any goal you're working toward.

How to align your goals with your actual life, not an idealized version
Why certain dates feel magical (and why they're not)
