Updated: Are you setting the right goals?

Episode 229

There are many ways that people measure success. One of the more common ones that I hear people talk about is achieving goals. Goals are milestones that we set to help us keep focused on attaining something in the future. Some goals can be very short-term, while others might last a lifetime.

In this week’s podcast, we take a look at the impact goal-setting can have on your productivity and enjoyment of your photography. While goals can be critical to helping you achieve what you want in your creative life, setting the wrong goals, or keeping the wrong goals can be a detriment to success. By taking a hard look at how, why, and when you complete a goal can tell you a lot about your creative process.

It doesn’t matter if you are working on business goals, technical goals, personal goals, or some other type of goal; learning how goals affect your work is essential to get what you want. If a goal isn’t right and not working, it might be time for a new goal. Also, if goals are getting in the way of your work, it might be time to stop setting goals and spend time exploring what freedom of time looks like.
