Goals vs. outcomes (it matters!)

Here’s how you get what you want either way … [The Writer’ s Life]( January 16, 2023 "If you're bored with life – you don't get up every morning with a burning desire to do things – you don't have enough goals." – Lou Holtz Happy Monday, {NAME}! Earlier this month I challenged you to attack your goals a bit differently this year … by looking at 2023 in 90-day increments. In my experience, a shorter timeframe keeps you focused, motivated, and allows you to celebrate wins (and reset!) more often throughout the year — helping you ultimately achieve more. But truthfully, goal setting can happen all the time … In fact, goal setting can become a habit. That's what [this week's Monday Morning Jumpstart]( tackles today. And I absolutely LOVE it. Ted and Jade hit the goal conversation from a totally new perspective and show you how many goals are not goals after all — but rather outcomes. You'll see why making $5,000 a month from your writing isn't a goal. Neither is losing 20 lbs. Or saving an additional $25K this year. You'll see why in today's session … And walk away with a set of goals that will drive real action … and set you up to achieve the outcomes you desire this year. #gamechanger Make sure you listen to the specific example Ted gives using a common goal of losing weight. It will open your mind to what goal setting really is … and as I mentioned, set you up for some big wins this year. I have to say, I have a new outlook on goal setting after this Jumpstart.
