#48: Why Your Business Goals Fall Apart Before You Start

You set the goals. You bought the planner. Maybe you even created the color-coded spreadsheet. And yet... a few months later, you're wondering why you're off track. Most entrepreneurs assume the problem is a lack of discipline, accountability, or a better strategy. But what if the real issue isn't the goal itself? In this episode, Stephanie explores a different possibility: that many business goals fail before they ever have a chance to succeed because they're built on a foundation that isn't strong enough to support them. If you've ever found yourself changing direction, chasing new ideas, feeling busy but not making progress, or wondering why your goals never seem to stick, this conversation is for you.
