Description

In this episode, I’ll guide you through a practical and transformative approach to achieving your goals. Whether in your business, personal life, or relationships, success starts with clarity, intention, and action. We’ll go beyond traditional goal-setting methods and reverse engineer your vision into actionable steps, ensuring every effort aligns with your ultimate purpose.


Using the mountain-climbing analogy, I’ll explain how to break down daunting goals into achievable milestones and why the journey shapes your character just as much as the destination.


What You’ll Learn in This episode:


•Why most people fail at goal-setting (and how to avoid it).

•How to create a vision statement that defines your purpose.

•The power of daily deposits and removing friction in your habits.

•How to reverse engineer your goals into quarterly milestones.

•The importance of character development in the goal-setting process.
