324. Set Goals That Are Completely Unrealistic

11/08/21 • 37 min

We all know the importance of setting goals. We have to know where we're headed and what we want to achieve in order to get there, right?

The problem is that most people don’t know the best strategy for setting their goals. It seems obvious that our goals should be realistic, right? Wrong. It may seem counterintuitive, but, in reality, your goals should be wildly unrealistic. Reach for the stars.

Another problem is the company we keep. Most of us surround ourselves with relationships and circumstance. But we should be striving to discover and bring specific people with specific qualities into our lives based on where we are at that point in time.

If none of this makes sense as a way to find your ONE Thing, then listen to today’s episode and learn.

And if you’re still looking for help with setting your goals, be sure to check out our upcoming Goal Setting Retreat, where you can join us to learn the specific tools to know exactly how to set the right goals and how to do it the right way. Find out more by heading to the1thing.com/setmygoals.

323. Why Top Talent Leaves and How to Fix It

Over a trillion dollars were lost to voluntary turnover in the USA last year alone. Replacing an employee costs an average of between 1.5 and 2 times their annual salary – and that’s a conservative estimate. The salt in the wound? 52% of people who leave for a new job say that their management could have done something to keep them. So, how can you help your organization avoid becoming part of these unfortunate statistics?

Can you give yourself permission to make your world so big that, when someone steps into it, they can have everything they want and never need to leave?

Do you know the right questions to ask during the hiring process, questions that make instant connections and enable you to make a true commitment to each other that benefits both parties?

As you listen to this episode, pay attention to how simple it can be to turn turnover around – and if you’re the employee in this equation, know what you need to ask from your employer to make your job one that you never want to leave. Finding your ONE Thing could be easier than you think. One of the best things you can do to solidify your path on this journey is to join us at our Goal Setting Retreat so that you’ll have the tools to know what you want out of your career five years or just five months from now.
