Welcome to today's episode, where we delve into the exciting world of goal setting for the upcoming year, 2024. I am genuinely thrilled about the valuable insights we'll be discussing on how to set kickass business and income goals and, more importantly, how to reach them. This episode is packed with actionable advice that I believe will add immense value to your journey. So, buckle up, as we embark on a two-step exploration to set meaningful and achievable goals.

Step 1: Going Deeper with Your Goals

Before we dive into the strategic aspects of goal setting, let's begin with a story about the Frozen soundtrack – an unexpected source of inspiration. Just like the characters in Frozen, we all need our "getting Brave" song, a source of motivation when facing challenges. The key is to connect with the emotions, desires, and expectations behind our goals.

Imagine a goal of making $100,000 in 2024. Instead of stopping at the surface, ask yourself why. What will this financial milestone bring you – security, freedom, joy? By going deeper, you connect with the essence of your goal, making it more meaningful. Next, consider what you need to learn or gain and what you need to release to achieve this goal.

For instance, if your current hourly rate generates $78,000 annually, strategize on raising rates, increasing hours, or exploring new income streams like creating a digital course. Connecting the emotional and strategic aspects of your goals provides a holistic foundation for success.

Step 2: Strategizing with Three Currencies in Mind

Now, let's move into the strategic realm of goal setting. Consider three currencies: time, money, and energy. Instead of fixating on a single dimension, approach goal setting with a holistic perspective. Strategize on how to achieve your financial goals while maintaining a healthy balance between time investment and energy expenditure.

Continuing with the $100,000 goal, assess your current hourly rate and ideal weekly working hours. Explore avenues such as rate adjustments, increased hours, or creating passive income streams. The key is to align your strategy with your desired lifestyle and energy levels.

As we approach the new year, let's embrace the wisdom of Frozen's "do the next right thing." Setting and achieving goals is a journey, not a sprint. Recognize the power of taking one step at a time, ensuring each step aligns with your deeper aspirations.

I encourage you to share this episode on social media, discuss it within your community, and, most importantly, reflect on your own getting Brave song. Remember, it's okay to be afraid and brave simultaneously. Your journey to 2024 is filled with possibilities, and by setting purposeful goals, you're already on the path to success.

Wishing you a transformative and goal-driven 2024. Until next time, stay inspired, stay focused, and keep moving forward. You've got this!
