Episode 412: STOP SETTING GOALS: The Choice vs. Goal Mistake Killing Your Progress

Episode SummaryThink your five-year goal is "being happy"? Amber Fuhriman calls it out: happiness, freedom, and success are choices you can make right now, not goals, and confusing the two is the number one reason your goal setting keeps failing.Key Topics CoveredWhy confusing a choice with a goal is the biggest mistake people make when goal settingHow to tell the difference between a feeling (happy, successful, free) and a real, tangible goalThe goal-setting process for turning a vague want into a measurable target with a deadlineWhy setting goals to please a spouse, family, or society instead of yourself guarantees failureHow to set tangible goals around money, business growth, relationships, and travel that actually require effort and timeNotable Quotes"Happy is a choice. You can do it right now, you can do it tomorrow, you can do it the next day. Happy is not a goal. Happy is a feeling.""If you're not happy now, if you don't feel like you have freedom now, if you don't feel successful now, there's no goal on the planet that's gonna make you feel those things later. So stop confusing a choice with a goal.""It's really important, first of all, that when you set a goal, that it is something that you actually want."Call to ActionBook a free strategy call with Amber: https://calendly.com/amberfuhriman/connection-call?month=2021-05Join the Break Your Bullsh*t Box Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/185xJ6KALu/Check out Amber's Speaker Reel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPj5OBvjrr0 Hosted on Acast.
