Thank you for being here!  Click here to check out my website, and don't forget to connect with me on social media! Thank you to listeners Susan and Gina for connecting with me on social media and for listening! And if you haven\u2019t reached out yet\u2026 please do so! Last Monday\u2019s podcast was all about thinking DEEPER about your goals and identifying WHO you\u2019ll become by achieving a specific goal. I shared that I\u2019m listening to the book "Atomic Habits". In this book, author James Clear, talks about the science behind habits \u2013 good and bad. If you haven't listened to last Monday's podcast click here to do so, then come back!  It's important to break down your goals and focus on smaller month-by-month goals vs. being overwhelmed by the BIG yearly goal or even 3-5 years out. Yes, I always ask clients to identify big goals, but not all have been able to. That\u2019s why I say, \u201cI meet my clients where they are, and help them get to where they want to go\u201d. I challenge people to think ahead, then break it down. We\u2019ve all heard the saying \u201cHow do you eat an elephant\u201d? \u201cOne bite at a time!\u201d That phrase has been given credit to MANY people \u2013 including Desmond Tutu and General Creighton Abrams. And a book titled the same by Bill Hogan \u2013 which I have NOT read\u2026 have you? Well, that concept can be applied to so many things, including your goals! So, no matter if you can see five years into the future or just this month or maybe the year, positive habits will help you get there. You\u2019re like DUH Sandi, we all know that, but\u2026 Exactly\u2026 BUT! Listen in today as I share more about how I hear "but" so many times! And, I share how I got from one mile at a time to running half-marathons! Baby steps. Yes, many times we need the help, our tribe, our buddies, vendors, sub-contractors, collaborators and others we need to help us \u2013 remember\u2026 LIFE IS A TEAM SPORT! But it starts with the person in the mirror! Yes, YOU! Last Monday I shared a story about a former client who wouldn\u2019t take my advice of \u201cbaby-stepping\u201d and ended up overwhelmed and quit. She didn't understand how to take ONE BITE of that elephant every day and in-turn quit. What do YOU want? Last week I talked about just your MONTHLY goal. And today, you'll need to listen in as if you want to LEVEL-UP, it's time to DIG DEEPER because... When you talk about your GOALS, I want your stomach to flip! You'll have to listen in to hear what your weekly challenge is!
