🎥 DESCRIPTION

I see people setting goals the wrong way all the time—which is why 92% of New Year’s resolutions fail before January even ends. But over the years, I’ve developed a 10-step goal-setting system that has helped me build wealth, grow businesses, improve my health, and strengthen my relationships. In this episode, I’m breaking it all down so you can crush your goals in 2025 and actually follow through this time!

In this episode, I also talk about:
• Why most people fail their goals (and how to avoid it)
• The difference between process vs. outcome goals
• How I set goals that actually keep me motivated
• Why I prefer quarterly goals over yearly ones
• The SMARTER goal framework (with two extra steps!)
• How I use accountability to increase my success rate
• and SO much more!
