Goal setting feels so 'new yearsish'… and while this episode is coming to you a few months into the new year, I think now is a great time to talk about it.Maybe you’re like me… you set one really big goal every single year. People told me to set a good goal, better goal, and best goal. So I did. Year after year.Most times I felt like it was a crazy number I was pulling out of thin air that barely made any sense. I knew it was the goal but I honestly couldn’t really see the finish line. I couldn’t see how to get there.Until I learned more about setting quarterly goals. Now I know what you are likely thinking, “take my 2023 goal and divide it into 4 for the four quarters of the year”. I wanted to share with you a better way.
