In order to reach your goals, you have to start digging deeper than the actual accomplishment. You’ll most likely find that you’re chasing a feeling by pursuing a certain milestone. Maybe you want a promotion so that you feel validated in your career, or perhaps you want to lose 10 pounds so that you feel confident in your body. 


In this episode, I share how to set goals that align with your values and get in touch with your ‘why.’ I explain the difference between a belief plan and an action plan, and highlight why it’s so important to prepare for obstacles. I also talk about the role of failure when it comes to success, which is something that’s often ignored.
