Out of the Ordinary

7. Instead of Setting Goals, Try This


Listen Later

This is the story about one thousand Easter eggs.

Really it's the story about listening for invitations rather than setting goals. It's the difference between taking control of your future and surrendering control.

This is an honest conversation about why the language of goal setting is a struggle for us, and why we both tend to use the word "invitation" instead.

Whether or not you're a natural goal-setter, we hope you'll join the conversation!
