Why do so many people set goals but never actually achieve them? The answer isn’t just about taking action—it’s about taking the right kind of action.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why traditional yearly goal-setting often fails and how I’ve found a better way to turn big dreams into reality. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by massive goals (like running a 10k, saving $40k, or reading 12 books), this is for you.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

✅ The critical mistake most people make when setting goals (and how to avoid it)

✅ Why breaking your year into 4 mini-years can completely transform your results

✅ How to stop feeling stuck & start making consistent, measurable progress

✅ A simple system to take your biggest goals & make them actionable, practical, and achievable

✅ Plus, a bonus tip to keep your momentum strong & avoid falling off track

Plus you’ll get a FREE 12 week year template to follow.

If you’re tired of setting goals only to lose steam a few weeks in, this episode will give you the tools to stay focused, motivated & on track.
