Setting Goals for People who Hate Setting Goals

I hate setting goals, so I had to figure out how I could get what I want in life without following the standard goal-setting steps we’re always taught.

Just writing down a goal makes me cringe. But why?

Perhaps it’s because I’m not one of those highly organized people full of energy, That could be half of it, but it’s certainly not the whole picture.

In this article, I’m going to share with you how to get what you want without setting goals. If you hate setting goals like I do, I think this post will give you a lot of relief.

When Others Aren’t Ready for you to Evolve

learn heal grow evolve personal growth teacher tony robbinsUnfortunately, the more we grow and evolve, the more others who aren’t ready to do the same will want us to stay the same. If you’re around friends and family who just can’t seem to get on board with you getting healthier, what do you do? Do you just pretend to be the same old person you always were around them just to keep them happy? Or do you embrace this new you and leave it up to them to get used to the new you?

Important questions, especially since we all know at least one person that probably doesn’t support our evolution. Is there an easy path where everyone can get along magically? Nope. But there is a path, and that’s what I’ll be talking about today.

The Personal Emotional Challenges that Keep us From Business Success

depression anxiety happy successWhen I started The Overwhelmed Brain, I had no clue how I would be able to sustain it. But instead of concerning myself with an unknown future, I fearlessly purchased audio equipment and set my sights on the target of creating a weekly podcast that would spread my message.

About 6 months into the show, the reality that I would need an income to support it hit me hard. So, once again, I chose not to concern myself with a fear of an unknown future. Instead, I quit my job and started doing the show full time.

Having no money, I dug into savings to live off of for a while. And while exploring my options to make this show and everything associated with it more than just a hobby, I knew I had to make it into a living.

Pursuing a passion does involve creating a way to sustain that passion. In this episode, I am interviewed by Mike Sutton about the emotional aspects of running a business, and what it takes to get beyond the fears and doubts that almost everyone in business, whether their own or working for someone else, goes through.  [Read more…]

True Wealth Starts by Doing This One Thing First

networking business relationships wealthThere’s absolutely no secret to what I’m about to tell you. People have been doing it for years, and they will continue to do it for years to come. There is one thing I learned to do that has increased all of my opportunities including romance, business, and money, and that’s this: Networking. 

Networking is all about adding human resources to your life. The more resources you have, the more options you have. The more options you have, the more you can do in your life.  “Human resources” are those people that know things that you don’t know, and have access to people you don’t have access to.
