#76. On Our Big Hairy Audacious Goals, with Kavita Ahuja


Listen Later

Enjoy this next podcast episode with Kavita, as she speaks about setting Big Hairy Audacious Goals for yourself, which align with your strengths, passions, values - and how much impact you want to make for those you choose to.   Even if you think things are going great - there is always a chance to bring out a blank slate and ask yourself - can I do better?

The all-too-common question: “What do I want to do with the rest of my life?” looms large in our minds. It always seems to be about the DOING – but I challenge you to disrupt this way of thinking.

As we transition in distinct stages of our lives, always remember who you want to BE first. Let your BHAG guide you, and work to uncover all the remarkable things you already have inside of you – that are just waiting to be revealed to the world.

In the meantime, if you are thinking about your BHAG and are at a crossroads in life - maybe thinking about changing your career, moving ahead in your current one, leaving it to start a new venture, retiring to pursue your passions, or doing a combination of all of these - but are confused - reach out to me. I’ve been there, I know how you feel, and I have created a process and am trained to help you find the answers.
