Do you know your top values, or do you just know the words for them? There's a real difference between the values you believe in and the values you actually operate from — and most of us are much better at the first one than the second.

If you've ever felt busy without feeling aligned, or organized without feeling fulfilled, this episode will help you tell the difference between a decorative plan and one that's actually working for you.

In this episode:

• Why chasing a goal without knowing the value underneath it leads to a "very efficient path to nowhere"
• Chris's personal story about the four-day work week he didn't know he valued until he lost it
• How to reverse-engineer your goals to find the values actually driving them
• Why a plan that isn't serving a purpose is just "steps on a page"
• The difference between a plan that adapts and a plan that becomes sacred
• Why you don't need a ten-step master plan — just your purpose and the next best step
