S2 Ep21: S2 Ep21: Setting Writing Goals: Is it Time for a Different Approach?

Listen Later
Welcome back to Season 2 of the podcast, and we’re kicking off with a bang! 

Often, September feels a bit like January for business owners and writers alike - we’ve hopefully had a bit of a break over the summer, and we’re now ready and raring to go.

It’s natural to set some goals - including ones for your writing. But what if you took a slightly different approach to this process? 

In this season opener, you’ll find out more about:

  • Why changing my approach to goal-setting led me to have the best year in professional and writing life in 2021.
  • Strategies you can take from this to apply to your own goal-setting - and why it’s time to let go of the reins.
  • A simple technique I’ve used to write my six books that keeps me motivated and making progress EVERY day - it’s a bit geeky, but it makes all the difference to whether my books get finished.
    • And so much more!

    Goals should be enjoyable and possible to achieve - you don’t have to do it the way the gurus tell you. Perhaps it’s time to take your hands off the wheel and let go of your need to control exactly how things will pan out.

    I hope you enjoy listening!
