#118 - Holiday Goals That Actually Stick: A Calm, Clear Way to Plan Your Next Year

Send us Fan MailWhat if the best time to think about your goals is not when you are rushing into a new year, but when things finally slow down? In this holiday episode, Steven talks about setting goals from gratitude instead of pressure. When work eases up and life feels a little quieter, it is easier to step back and think about what actually matters to you. We walk through a simple goal-setting process you can come back to anytime, one that focuses on the kind of person you want to become, not just the boxes you want to check. We also talk about money, investing, and work as tools that support more time, freedom, and peace of mind. You will leave with clear steps to think about the next year, the next few years, and the long road ahead in a way that feels honest and doable.Episode highlights:(0:00) Intro(0:44) Why the holidays are a great time to reflect(1:17) Goals rooted in gratitude work better(1:47) Why reviewing goals matters more than talent(3:48) Identity, values, and long-term thinking(11:05) Money as a tool, not the goal(14:16) Create the space(15:12) Get in the right state(17:10) Prime your mind before asking(21:14) Ask yourself the bigger question(23:07) Capture everything(23:59) Think across your core life areas(25:50) Look at the actual time horizons(29:01) Set goals with high energy(30:33) Write down your wins first(33:20) Real personal goals for the year ahead(38:05) Outro—Share this with your tech friends who you think would benefit from learning about passive income and alternative real estate investments. For more resources and guides, check these out:Crack the Code https://www.aritacapital.com/crack-the-code/Investor 101 https://www.aritacapital.com/investor-101-resource/Due Diligence Resource https://www.aritacapital.com/dd-checklist-resource/If you want to learn more, reach out at:Email: [email protected]:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/aritasteven/IG:  https://www.instagram.com/the.real.arita
