Reading Time: 10 minutes Have you ever gotten super excited to achieve your big goals, only to feel completely derailed a couple of weeks later? You’re not alone. Today’s episode is all about goal setting, and the biggest mistakes you need to avoid to achieve the goals you’ve been dreaming of!

Goal setting is essential for good time management, because it helps you focus your energy on what truly matters. But that’s only if you’re setting effective goals that challenge you (but are also attainable!). So what exactly makes a good goal and how do you set smart goals? I’m sharing the most common goal setting mistakes that even the most organized and motivated people make (and of course, how to avoid these mistakes, so you can set yourself up to achieve goals you’ll feel great about!).
If you’re feeling that now, I want you to know that you’re not alone. And here’s the good news: feeling stuck doesn’t mean you’re done. In fact, it might just be a sign that you’re ready for something new, something meaningful, and something that aligns more with who you are and who you want to become. Tune in to learn how to identify if you’re in a rut, how to reconnect with your vision and values to get unstuck, and my favorite exercise to get inspired and motivated again.
