I am joined by Jen McFarland from the Women Conquer Business Podcast. She has over two decades worth of experience in leadership, data analysis, project management, and digital marketing. We explored the topic of goals! Yes, those things you should be working on, but are you going about them wisely? On this podcast, you'll learn the truth that despite strategy and tenacity, working hard is not necessarily enough to achieve your goals. You’ll also get insights on why you want to take a step back before starting SMART goals and how execution is really the key to success. Jen is a fellow data nerd, so the conversation gets pretty geeky at times, especially when the subject of spreadsheets came up. Plug in your headphones and get ready, because this episode is full of fabulous nuggets and insider hacks that will propel your business, whether you're the owner of a bootstrapped startup or a self-proclaimed serial entrepreneur.
