Ep 383: Throwback to Ep66: Q & A – When You Have EXTREMELY Large Goals Should You Start By Focusing On Smaller Goals?

The Jim Fortin Podcast

Start Your Transformation Now

Goals, for most of your life you’ve heard people talking about goals and why you should set them.

In this Q&A episode I talk about goals from a few different perspectives and I talk about why I don’t personally set them. Yes, you read that right, I don’t set goals.

In this episode I talk about:

[6:56] Working by a “12 week year”

[10:38] Why it’s important to break down goals into quarters

[11:32] Why tracking is so important if you set goals

[12:15] How “processing styles” can sabotage your goals

[14:29] The role of habits in your goal achievement

[15:23] How subconscious identity plays into your goals

[26:40] Why goal setting can be detrimental, research proven

[29:33] And, finally, why I personally do not set goals

I really enjoyed creating this episode. This is such an overrated topic, in my opinion, and it’s one that that has been drilled into our heads since we were kids.

So, I go a few different directions in this episode. If you want to set goals I talk about breaking them down. If you don’t want to set goals or you want a more healthy approach I talk about some Harvard research and my personal approach.

I had fun with this episode, I hope you enjoy it.

Listen, apply, and enjoy!

Transformational Takeaway

Break goals into 12 weeks and trackable results. Know your brain based processing style so you can apply it to your goals. And, finally, counter intuitive I know, but don’t set goals when you work from BEing the goal first in your mind.
