Do you really need to cast a vision for your year? Is it really that important? Can’t you just pick those goals and GO?

In this solo episode on The Secrets of Supermom Show, I am sharing…

⇒ Why you likely haven’t hit goals in the past (or maybe even set them at all)

⇒ Why you haven’t been motivated in the past

⇒ Why goals aren’t actually the goal

⇒ How to change the way you look at your year and cast a clear vision in five steps
