Stories from the River

Leaving Drift Behind: How Goals and Standards Propel You Forward


Listen Later

Welcome back to Stories From the River! In this solo episode, host Charlie Malouf discusses the importance of setting goals and standards to create energy and momentum in life. He references Ed Mylett's book "The Power of One More," which emphasizes that goals are a life force that transfers energy into action. Charlie shares his personal experience of setting a wellness goal four years ago and how it created energy and accountability for him. He also highlights the importance of having standards as the delivery mechanism for achieving goals.

Charlie then talks about the concept of "drift," which is the number one reason people aren't living a life they love, according to Michael Hyatt. When people lack clear goals and vision, they tend to drift away from a meaningful and significant life. Charlie emphasizes the importance of being intentional about setting goals, whether they are personal, spiritual, health-related, or career-oriented. He also shares his own experience of starting the "Stories from the River" podcast and how it has grown over time. Finally, he touches on Broad River Retail's recent recognition as the Home Furnishings Retailer of the Year and the company's new five-year plan to continue challenging themselves and tapping into their potential.

Tune in on Thursday for a talk on the Olympic mindset!
