Why Big Goals Might Be Holding You Back and What to Do Instead

In today’s episode of The Empowered Team Podcast, we’re challenging the traditional approach to goal-setting and uncovering why big goals might actually be holding you back.

We often set ambitious targets, believing they’ll drive motivation and success. But in reality, big goals can create unrealistic expectations, fleeting satisfaction, and a frustrating cycle of progress and setbacks. Instead of focusing on the finish line, we explore the power of systems over outcomes—a shift that fosters consistency, growth, and long-term success.

Key Takeaways from this Episode:
🎯 Big Goals vs. Sustainable Progress – Why setting massive goals can create pressure and hinder real growth.
📸 Beyond the Achievement High – The problem with tying happiness to the end result instead of the journey.
