A Lesson on "2021 Goal Setting: Stop Doing, Start Being"

As we wind down 2020, I wanted to share with you a process that I started using that allows me to reflect on the past year, and then prepare for the months ahead. In previous years, my 'goal setting' process was one that resembles following the 'S.M.A.R.T.' route, and tying strategies and tactics to those goals in order to help me get 'there' (to achievement) as fast as humanly possible. Now, since realizing the journey is the part of life we should savor the most, I've decided to shift things up a bit and instead of focusing on the doing, I am giving my attention to who I am being.

In this episode, I dive into the process that I use to set me up for success, while still enjoying the pathway there. Enjoy!

Reflection Questions:

• What am I proud of myself for?
• What challenges or opportunities did I face?
• What am I most grateful for?

Being Setup:

• Write down all the results (tangible) that you're hoping to achieve in 2021
• Map out the exact feelings that you would have once achieving all of those goals. Who do you become?
• Tie to those emotions mantra's that evoke that same sense of feeling. What would that version of you believe?
• Use those mantra's as the energy force behind every action you take. I am the type of person that "X".
• The value is this is who you truly are. Coming from this place will not only bring your goals to you faster, but you will enjoy the process along the way.
• Example: Knowing that you are 1000% worthy just as you are. How would you conduct a conversation with a client? Not coming from a place of lack or unworthiness, it would be more productive and this action would take you to where you want to go not only quicker, but while enjoying the process.
