Goal Side Effects

Eleanor Beaton

Winter is just around the corner here in the Northern Hemisphere. This tends to be a time of year where you might find yourself reflecting on your life and business over the past year, and start gathering yourself so you’re ready to set brand-new goals for the New Year. 

Regardless of whether you like setting goals you know you can achieve, or have more of a shoot-for-the-moon style when it comes to goal setting, it’s not uncommon for entrepreneurs to set goals and not routinely meet them. The truth is accomplishing your goals isn’t the point. All the magic lies in the side effects of setting and pursuing big goals in the first place.

Join Eleanor on this episode to discover the three main side effects of pursuing a big goal. You’ll hear why setting goals you don’t always achieve isn’t a problem in business, how you might be making the experience of not hitting goals more painful than necessary, and the major wins you’ll experience just by pursuing goals.
