What if your goals secretly steal your joy instead of building your future? In today’s episode, Kevin and Alan explore why many people chase exciting goals but end up burnt out, frustrated, or stuck. They reveal the hidden mistake most goal-setters make—falling in love with the dream while ignoring the challenging, daily process it requires. You’ll hear relatable stories, real-life examples, and a powerful breakdown of aligning your goals with what matters to you.
