EP 142: Are Your Career & Life Goals Too Small?

The Bridge to Fulfillment

What do you dream for yourself and your life? A hassle-free day at work, fewer headaches, or simply a weekend free from checking emails or responding to work-related text messages? Perhaps even a job you actually enjoy and feel energized by (or does that seem too good to be true)?

Those goals are really just the tip of the iceberg of what’s possible. For so many women, they’re the goals we strive for on a daily basis.

But the truth is that most people don’t dream BIG enough.

We tend to dream or set goals within the limits of what we know or what we’ve seen. But, there’s a whole world that exists outside of what’s known, and that’s where real fulfillment begins to take shape and transform into something much bigger.

Today, Blake challenges you to consider the unknown: What if you dreamt a little bit bigger? If your goals include financial freedom, independence, career significance, and more time to enjoy life with your family, then what’s holding you back from achieving it is the gap between what you know and what you don’t know yet.

If all you know is hustle and unfulfilling work, then you’re simply missing the pieces that can connect you to what’s actually possible. Learn how to push past the fear and take the first steps towards transformation.

Favorite Quotes:

1. “Most people's career and life goals are so much smaller than what they can actually accomplish.”
2. “I had a lot of beliefs and a lot of perspectives that were keeping me stuck and trapped in a life, and a career that was far less impactful than I wanted it to be. My dreams and my goals were far too small.”
3. “I have been able to accomplish things I would have never thought possible: Working 20 to 25 hours a week, being able to not work nights and weekends, being able to go to my kid’s events, truly waking up energized and passionate excited about what I do every day.”
4. “If there's anything in your life that you wish were different, or if there are things that you do because you feel like you have to or you should, or because that's the only possibility for your life, I want to challenge you that that's not true.”
5. “Ultimately, that contraction of what you think is possible for you is actually the thing that's keeping you stuck.”
6. “Every single day that you get up, that you're not living life to the fullest is another day of regret, another day of lost time, and another day that you're not able to be fully present with your family to really enjoy the life that you've been given.”
