🎙️ Welcome to Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy (HHWW)! In this empowering January episode, host Mary Meyer and a dynamic roundtable of entrepreneurs and business professionals from the Missing Link Network gather with business coach Jaclyn Strominger to kick off 2026. The group dives deep into intentional goal setting—exploring what it means to choose goals that align with your values and bring more fulfillment to both your personal and professional life. Each guest shares their "word of the year," reveals their lowest and highest satisfaction areas, and discusses what it really takes to avoid sabotaging success in business and beyond. Discover tools like the Circle of Life, SMART goals, and new approaches for tracking progress, accountability, and celebrating wins.

🌟 Topics Covered: 

-Importance of intention and alignment in setting New Year goals
-Choosing a “word of the year” and personal themes for growth
-The Circle of Life framework: assessing satisfaction in eight life areas
-Identifying low alignment areas and strategies for improvement

-Overcoming fear and reluctance in business and sales
-Building sustainable habits for health, relationships, faith, and career
-Networking, connecting, and the role of accountability in reaching professional goals
-Stories and advice from The Missing Link Network

Key takeaways:

-Goal setting is most powerful when rooted in alignment with personal values, not just box-checking or productivity
-Identify areas out of alignment—your “flat tire”—and focus energy on improving just one or two for bigger progress
-Tracking and celebrating small wins are vital for sustainable change and motivation
-Fear, reluctance, and avoidance can be overcome by connecting to your “why” and detaching from outcomes
-Regular review (30/60/90 days) and willingness to adjust keeps you moving forward
-Scheduling prioritized activities—fun, relationships, personal development, business—on your calendar is essential
-Connection, support, and accountability from a community are key drivers of ongoing success
