In this episode, we’re diving into an essential topic for the start of the year: goal setting. Or my preferred term: goal auditing!

New Year’s resolutions are often ambitious, but are they truly your goals, or are they borrowed from the people and media around you? Join me as I share my personal journey of learning to audit goals and a three-step process to ensure your ambitions align with your vision and values.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

• The Trap of Borrowed Goals: How I mistakenly pursued goals like becoming a traveling brand photographer and starting an agency, and why auditing your goals matters.
• Step 1: Review and Audit: A detailed breakdown of my "Five Pillars of Profit" framework for reviewing your business actions and outcomes across your craft, offers, community, marketing, and systems.
• Step 2: Set Intentions: Why focusing on actions over outcomes is the key to success—and how to shift your mindset to control what you can.
• Step 3: Make a Plan: How to prioritize non-negotiables, schedule rest, and map out your business actions for the year using a yearly view calendar.

Plus:

• A personal reflection on lessons from 2024 and how intentional goal setting is helping me in 2025.
• Why everything is data and how to use this process to iterate and grow.

If you’re ready to take your goal setting to the next level and build a plan that aligns with your vision, this episode is for you.
