The Goal Graveyard: Why Your Goals Keep Dying (And What to Do Instead)
A few years ago, I found a journal from 2017. The goals I’d written? I was still writing them. Different year. Same list.
That moment changed everything — because I finally realized this isn’t a discipline problem. It’s a foundation problem.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the three questions you need to ask BEFORE “what’s my plan?” — and why skipping them is the reason your goals keep dying.
In this episode:
- Why the same goals keep showing up year after year (and it’s not what you think)
- The difference between relief goals and resonance goals — and why one drains you while the other fuels you
- The three questions that have to come before strategy
- A client story that might sound uncomfortably familiar
- What’s actually possible when you build on a solid foundation
Memorable Moments:
“Relief goals run FROM pain. Resonance goals run TOWARD purpose.”
“Her soul hadn’t been blocking execution because she was undisciplined. It was protecting her from building something she didn’t actually want.”
