52 Weeks Podcast

This week we get to hear from my brother Kaleb Shoell. I have been impressed with Kaleb as he has pushed himself harder than ever to meet his sales goals. Kaleb makes over 100 cold calls a day, asking doctors for a consultation to learn more about his employer's software, and getting a doctor to talk to him for more than a second takes determination. To help Kaleb get his quota, he has dove into self-help books and motivational quotes. One quote that stands out is by Jack Canfield.

“Everything you want is on the other side of fear.”

It's no secret that most people struggle to keep their new year's resolutions. According to Forbes, only "8% accomplish them". With odds like that, why are we even making goals? Because goals are seriously AMAZING! Because being in that 8% is possible, it just takes consistency and Grit. An example of someone who is a rock star at accomplishing goals is Gary Davis. He tells us to, "If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much." Come and hear his other deep insights and enjoy this episode.

This week we talk about saying no. Saying no to opportunities, good deals, that 5th episode in a row on Netflix, and anything else that is distracting you from your goals. The media tells us we can have, do, and be everything, but really we can’t so once we decide what we want, how do we get rid of all the other stuff? Join us as we all share our two cents.

Hello! Your friend Steph here and this episode sort of became a therapy session as I threw out what we were going to talk about and just focused on being real. I’m grateful for the chance we had to look at our goals because it made me see how some areas were not as realistic as I thought they would be. Meredith found this quote that applies to how I was feeling today.

Learn to adjust yourself to the conditions you have to endure, but make a point of trying to alter or correct conditions so that they are most favorable to you.

Today we meet with Seth Anderson. Come see how the work ethic he learned growing up on a farm has helped him achieve his goals in real estate and Strut Snacks. Come hear how he achieves his goals and what he has going on. His is often quoted saying, "simplicity is the means to a genius resolution."

This week we talk about how change and growth can be uncomfortable. We like being in our safety zones. It’s nice when you know exactly what to expect from life and you get really good at what you do. But growth comes from bending and shaping the box you live in. This episode we talk about getting comfortable with the uncomfortableness of reaching our goals.

Paul Moore's lost 90 pounds over four years by changing his daily habits. He started by limiting soda and getting out and moving. Little daily routines turned into a lifestyle, and he has been able to keep the weight off for over half a decade. Paul talks about how the path we walk to our dreams is often more important than the dream itself.

"Sometimes, things don't work out, no matter how hard we plan. But that's not the point, the point is taking time to make a plan and then walking that path. You see, the path we walk to our dream is so much more important than the dream itself. "

Paul is passionate about helping others on their goal-setting journey and has created a planner that tracks morning and evening routines, life goals, and tracks progress. Paul is co-owner of Webinauts, a Marketing company specializing in helping small business owners. He enjoys creating inspirational messages on his blog and Instagram Driven Deep. We hope you enjoy this interview and remember to dream big, start small, and act daily.

With it being four days into the year. How are those goals coming along? Here's a quick recap of our goals. Heidi did a great job with her bags for the Days for Girls charity. Meredith finished designing her journal, which is a huge accomplishment. I met my work out goal, and Steph got her veggies goal but had to isolate because of COVID.

Like most of us that want to better ourselves and dream big, we need to start small and act daily to achieve our goals and dreams. I have watched the sunrise these past couple of mornings, and I felt this quote fit for the start of a new year.

"I hope you realize that every day is a fresh start for you. that every sunrise is a new chapter in your life waiting to be written." Juansen Dizon

So let today be a new chapter for you, and have the motivation to hit your goals!

Sincerely,

Josh

Dear Goalies,

Setting new goals and starting out on an unexplored path can be a bit hectic. You might still be determining what your path is going to look like. Some unexpected challenges may have already surprised you and jostled you around a bit. That’s okay! It happens. We can’t foresee everything that is going to happen to knock us off our path, but we can decide what we’ll do about it. That is why I love this quote by Plato, “The first and greatest victory is to conquer self.” We can’t control anything or anyone except ourselves so accept where you are at and go from there. This week we talked about our highs and our lows. We’ll have both every day, every week, every year. Whether you are currently at a high point or a low point decide what you will do and take that first small step.

Today we had a guest interview, Kim Domacilio! She shares with us her insights on setting goals and to have fun with your aspirations! She teaches us the power in making vision boards and we were easily convinced! Next week we will all share our visonboards! We had a successful week of achieving our weekly goals. Starting the year off right!
