#50: Why SMART Goals Aren't Enough with Kjerstin Klein

What this episode covers

What if the goal system you've been taught is only half the story?What if the reason you keep falling short has nothing to do with discipline, and everything to do with your tools? Kjerstin Klein is a serial entrepreneur, certified athletic trainer, third-degree black belt, and health and business consultant who built a goal management system out of pure necessity as a neurodivergent person who just needed to get to the bus on time. Her framework, the GRIP (Goals, Requirements, Issues, Plan), isn't just a goal-setting tool. It's an iterative, self-correcting map that reveals what you actually want, why you keep getting stuck, and what to do about it. Why SMART goals measure progress but can't tell you why you're failing The four reasons we avoid doing the things we say we want to do How the GRIP model exposed a client who hadn't called his mother in three years — all in the name of success The Five F's of Flourishing — the domains every fulfilling life needs to balance Why nine times out of ten, people don't actually want what they think they want Connect with Kjerstin Klein: 📧 [email protected] 🌐 Websitehttps://devatasolutions.com/ 📖 Get a GRIP on GoalsA practical guide to the GRIP Method, available on Kindle and paperback.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0893M1XMM 📘 Facebook Page – Devatas Solutionshttps://www.facebook.com/DevatasSolutions 🎙️ Goals Gals Podcast SeriesThe first episode in a 12-part series that walks through the GRIP Method using a real-life goal-setting journey.https://soundcloud.com/kjerstin-klein/goals-gals-intro ---Mindform is an exclusive membership platform that gives you access to an ever-expanding toolkit for mental mastery and a community of passionate psychitects.
