135. The Effort Trick That Gets You Everything You Want

Episode 135

Don’t get me wrong – goals are awesome to have. They can inspire hope and dreams and cool visions we have for our futures.

But focusing on the outcome we want (aka our goal) never gets us the outcome we want. I know, the irony.

In this week’s episode of the Learn and Work Smarter podcast, I reveal why outcome-based goals are designed to make us fail, and the mistake I see students and professionals make when they set these kinds of goals.

Then I share the secret effort trick (bahaha, it’s not really a secret) that will get you closer to your goals than literally anything else.

What You Learn:

  • The biggest mistake students and professionals make when setting goals

  • How outcome-based goals set you up to fail

  • What outcome-based goals do to your confidence

  • The right way to set goals so that you actually have a chance of meeting them

  • The effort trick that’s basically magic and gets you everything you want
