Ep 207. Are You Ready for the New Year?

Mon, 18 Dec 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Introduction:

Welcome to the Bold Goal Crusher podcast for anyone looking to stop letting life get in the way and start crushing bold goals. I'm your host, Sara Mayer, and I'm thrilled to navigate this journey with you because it's time to start boldly achieving without working double time. So let's dive in.

Section 1: Reflecting on the Past Year

Happy New Year! It's almost time for the new year, and I know we have a major holiday coming up before that. But it's never too early to get started thinking about how you're going to finish this year and what you want to accomplish in the next year, three years, and five years.

Before we talk about 2024, let's take a moment to reflect on 2023. Go to my website, saramayer.com, and download the Year on Reflection worksheet. This worksheet will help you reflect on the year from a place of positivity, setting the right mindset for the new year ahead.

Section 2: Setting Bold Goals

Now that you've reflected on your year, it's time to think about the possibilities and the future. Setting resolutions may not work for everyone, but it's essential to look at where you want to go over the next couple of years and set big, bold goals.

Instead of setting yearly goals, which may limit your potential, it's more effective to expand those goals and create smaller, actionable steps that you can take throughout the year and beyond. These steps will lead you towards achieving your big, bold goals.

Section 3: Choosing the Right Path

When setting your goals, it's important to dream big and truly decide what you want for your future. Take the time to reflect on what you want your life to look like and identify any obstacles that may be standing in your way. These obstacles are what I call "quitter's valley," and having a plan will help you overcome them.

For those who already have a clear vision, congratulations! It's time to take the next step and start walking the path towards your goals. And for those who are still unsure about their destination, recognizing that you don't want to stay where you are is the first step. Start laying the groundwork and take small steps towards discovering your path.

Section 4: Declaring Your Goals

Once you've decided on your goals, it's time to declare them. Whether you aim to retire at 65, build your dream house, or travel the U.S. in an RV, it's crucial to put your goals out there in the world. Declaring your goals not only solidifies your commitment but also opens up opportunities for support and accountability.

Section 5: Join the New Year Party

To help you on your goal-setting journey, I'm hosting the Bold Goal Crusher New Year Party. Join me at sarahmayer.com/newyearparty2024, where you will have access to five days of guided exploration. During this event, we will dive into your desires, help you set goals, and create an achievement plan. You will also gain exclusive invites to events like vision board parties and workshops. Don't miss out on this opportunity to set and crush your goals for the year.

Section 6: Tracking Your Progress

Tracking your progress is vital when working towards your goals. Consider using resources like the "Driven to Succeed" journal, available on Amazon. These goal-oriented journals are designed to help high achievers stay motivated and overcome obstacles. Journaling and reflecting on your progress will bring your goals to life and keep you on track.

Conclusion:

Bold goal crushers, it's time to gear up for the new year. Along with your reflection worksheet and journal, join me at the New Year Party to kickstart your goal journey. Remember, success requires planning, determination, and accountability. Don't let life get in the way! Let's make next year your best year yet.

Thank you for tuning into the Bold Goal Crusher podcast, where we crush goals and everything that gets in the way. I look forward to supporting you as you crush your goals this year.

Ep 204. Get a GRIP on your goals with guest Kjristen Klein

Thu, 07 Dec 2023 06:00:00 +0000

Host: Welcome to the Bold Goal Crusher podcast. In this episode, we have Kjristen, a serial entrepreneur, volunteer for SCORE, a small business mentorship program, and co-author of "Get a Grip on Goals."
Guest: Thank you so much for having me here, Sara.

Discussion about the GRIP System:

Host: Kjristen, could you tell us a bit more about the GRIP system and how it aids in goal management?
Kjristen: The GRIP system, an acronym for Goals, Requirements, Issues, and Plan, is an iterative goal management process. It helps in identifying what one wants, the necessary requirements, obstacles (issues), and an actionable plan.
Host: It sounds like a powerful tool for setting and achieving goals. Can you explain how someone can start with any element of the GRIP system?
Kjristen: Absolutely. The GRIP system allows you to begin anywhere in the process, whether it's defining your goals or identifying the issues or obstacles. It's a flexible framework that can adapt to various starting points, ensuring a comprehensive approach to goal achievement.
Host: I see how the GRIP system allows for continuous improvement. How can someone revise their goals effectively during this iterative process?
Kjristen: Continuous use of the GRIP system is crucial. It helps in refining goals based on the evolving understanding of requirements and obstacles. By addressing issues and adjusting the plan, individuals can align their goals with their evolving aspirations and circumstances.

Factors Affecting Goal Achievement:

Host: Kjristen, you mentioned avoidance techniques that hinder goal attainment. Can you elaborate on some common avoidance categories and how to address them?
Kjristen: Avoidance techniques often include comparison with others, perceived obstacles, self-judgment, and negative predictions. Identifying these behaviors is crucial in understanding the root cause of avoidance. From there, one can devise strategies to overcome them, thereby increasing the likelihood of goal achievement.

Tailoring Goals to Personal Needs:

Host: How can individuals ensure their goals align with their personal values and needs?
Kjristen: Considering the six basic human needs, including safety, adventure, belonging, uniqueness, growth, and contribution, is pivotal in goal setting. Goals that fulfill one or more of these needs tend to be more meaningful and motivating. It's essential to strike a balance and ensure that the pursuit of goals contributes positively to one's life.

Incorporating Goals into Daily Life:

Host: Balancing personal goals with daily responsibilities can be challenging. How can individuals seamlessly integrate their goals into their routines?
Kjristen: Utilizing specific time slots or trigger events, which act as reminders or cues, can help in incorporating goal-oriented activities into daily schedules. Breaking tasks into manageable chunks, such as 20-minute intervals, can ensure consistent progress without feeling overwhelmed.

Overcoming Time Management Challenges:

Host: Time management is often a hurdle in pursuing one's goals. How can individuals navigate time constraints and maintain focus?
Kjristen: Understanding the triggers of time mismanagement, such as overwhelming workloads or ineffective time utilization, is crucial. Implementing strategies like the 20-minute rule and June bugging, where tasks are broken into manageable intervals, can promote productivity and help individuals stay on track with their goals.

Conclusion:

Host: Thank you, Kjristen, for sharing these valuable insights on goal setting and management. It has been an incredibly insightful conversation.
Kjristen: You're welcome. It was my pleasure to discuss these critical aspects of achieving one's goals.
