Goal Setting For The Year Ahead

The Philosophy of Goal Setting

SUMMARY

In this conversation, Angie and John discuss the concept of goal-setting for the year ahead. They explore the effectiveness of New Year's resolutions, the importance of consistency, and the need for reflection before setting new goals. They emphasise the significance of breaking down larger goals into smaller, manageable steps and the necessity of doing what one loves to maintain motivation. The discussion also touches on the impact of distractions, financial awareness, and the importance of choosing a guiding word for the year ahead.
