Goal setting and future planning are some of the most valuable life skills you can teach your young adult. In this episode of Launch, we explore why these skills are so impactful and how they can shape a young adult’s path toward independence, confidence, and resilience. Setting goals gives your young adult direction, motivation, and purpose—key qualities for navigating life’s uncertainties. When they learn how to focus their energy, manage their priorities, and make intentional choices, they’ll feel empowered to take control of their future, even when the path ahead seems unclear. Future planning builds on this foundation, helping them think beyond today and prepare for the responsibilities that come with adulthood.
But here’s the truth: planning ahead isn’t always easy for young adults. It’s far more tempting to live day by day on autopilot. That’s why in this episode, I’ll share a simple, actionable goal-setting method that you can teach, even if you’ve never practiced it yourself. This practical approach will not only help your young adult establish clear, achievable goals but also foster personal growth, self-confidence, and habits that will serve them for life. I’ll also discuss the importance of future planning—how it gives young adults a reason to get up each morning and a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day. By learning to anticipate what they want in the future, they’ll create a roadmap to success that guides them forward, even through uncertain times.
Whether your adult child is feeling stuck, unmotivated, or unsure of their next steps, this episode will equip you an easy method to help them take charge of their future with confidence. Tune in to learn how you can teach your young adult to set goals, plan for the future, and move forward with intention and purpose!
