Merry Christmas! With Christmas falling on a Monday, it is safe to assume that most people's routines are a bit jumbled this morning. So, rather than an entire episode about goal achievement, we thought we'd just pop in and provide you with some comfort on this Christmas morning.

We also take a quick peek ahead at this crucial week between Christmas and New Year's as we get ready to set the SMARTER goals that we need to be successful in 2024. But... it's just a quick peek.

Shakespeare once said, "What's past is prologue." Basically, the past is just the beginning of what comes next. There is, perhaps, no other moment when that is more clear than at the end of the calendar year. While it is tempting to simply start making new goals for 2024, it's important to stop and make sense of what happened in 2023. That look back is how we learn and grow.

In this episode, Marissa and Ken talk you through completing an annual review to set yourself up your best year ever. Also, the crew debates the merits of the rituals of the rich and famous.

Gail Hyatt joins the show today. She's Michael Hyatt's wife AND... Marissa's mom. She's here to share what it means to be a reluctant goal setter in a family that not only loves to set goals, but literally wrote the book on how to do it. She talks about the life domains that are most important to her and how the planner has given her permission to prioritize herself.

If you're somebody who saw the world "journal" in the title and said, "I'm going to skip this one," then it's unlikely that you're actually reading this description. However, this episode *is* for you. Marissa talks Ken (and Nick) through the benefits of journaling - especially for the person who doesn't consider themself a "journal person".

You know the saying, "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." That quote highlights that while you might be able to bareknuckle your way to start a goal, sustaining that momentum is very difficult unless you have a community of people to help you throughout the process. In short: Community is essential if you want to achieve all of your goals.

In this episode, Marissa and Ken talk you through four ways that community helps you grow into who you want to be. Along the way, they'll provide tips for how you can find your own people. Also, and equally as important, the crew talk about their favorite (and least favorite) candy.

Also, Marissa shares a sneak peek at the newest planner colors AND a bit of fun merch. You’ll have to watch the YouTube video to see! https://youtu.be/qy3fekaqnxw
