New Year’s resolutions get a bad rap — and honestly, sometimes they deserve it. They’re often too big, too vague, and built on unrealistic expectations that disappear by February. In this episode of Behind the Brand, hosts Taylor and Kelly from Moxie Creative talk honestly about how they actually approach goal-setting inside a growing creative agency and why intention matters more than arbitrary dates.

They dive into the difference between resolutions and real goals, discuss choosing a “word of the year” like efficiency and wellness, and explain how small systems can create massive improvements in both work and life. From meal planning and personal health to agency growth, budgeting, and team workflow, this episode is a behind-the-scenes look at what sustainable growth actually looks like.

Taylor and Kelly also unpack how Moxie sets business goals, why financial targets are only one part of the picture, and how team goals often emerge organically through better systems, communication, and scheduling. They share honest stories about growing pains, losing a major client, adapting to change, and why progress — not perfection — is the real metric.

If you’re a business owner, creative, or entrepreneur who feels burned out by traditional goal-setting culture, this episode will give you a refreshing, realistic framework for building momentum at any time of year, not just January.

Perfect for: Small business owners, agency owners, creatives, solopreneurs, and anyone trying to grow a business without burning out.
