How to Stop Setting Pointless Goals and Start Down Exciting New Pathways

Today’s podcast episode is about goals, and I know how that sounds for some people, but I promise this will surprise you and possibly even delight you instead of causing the typical eye rolls. In my everyday work, I would guess that around 75% of my clients are so frustrated with setting goals that they just stop. Whether it’s a feeling of burnout or frustration from not hitting the goals, it’s not a lovable topic. 

In this episode, I’m using my background in industrial organizational psychology and the classes I’ve taken in human motivation and goal setting. Plus, I have 22 years of experience studying humans in the wild and going through the process myself. Hopefully, each of you will gain some new perspective today.

I’m giving you permission not to set goals. In other podcasts, I’ve said, “On a personal level, you don’t need to have goals, direction, or anything. You can just float through life. You can be happy, you can be creative, you can be unstructured. You can be whatever you want to be, or you can be like me.” 

I like structure, and I am very habitual. I can thank my ADHD for that. I’ve had to figure things out in my own way and have developed strong executive functioning skills. But not everyone is like me. Nothing bad is going to happen to you if you do not set goals. With business, some benchmarks need to be hit to succeed. You need to be able to pay yourself, support your family, and support your financial direction. Goals can help ensure you aren’t floating aimlessly adrift. But at the same time, you do not have to set goals.
