Episode 116: What to Do When Your Goals Feel “Meh”
In this week’s live coaching session, we’re sitting down with sales expert Alex Goggin.
When Alex and I first started talking, her biggest pain point — and, oh boy, is it painful — was that she didn’t care about any of the goals she’d set for herself.
I’m sure you’ve had that experience, too. You sit down, you write out what you think you’re “supposed” to do next … and you just don’t care.
It doesn’t feel good to set goals you don’t care about. And once you’ve done it, how do you get out of it? How do you figure out which goals will set your mind and heart on fire?
This episode is part 3 of a three-part series of live coaching sessions filmed right here in my home.
Alex was a student in The Game On Girlfriend Membership for almost three years, and we really started working together closely over the 2020 shutdown and during our daily, live Coffee With Coach sessions.
I guess you could say we really bonded over that experience. It was such a special time, and we made the best of it.
In this coaching session, I did something coaches are never supposed to do: I led Alex down a path that didn’t light her up at all. Oh, yeah — I make mistakes too.
But by the end of the session, we had created a new goal and idea for Alex that absolutely lit her up. If you’ve ever had a time when you just weren’t sure what your next goal should be, this is going to be an episode you’ll want to listen to.
Listen, picking what’s next when you don’t feel particularly inspired is part of being human. Often, you have to do it … but not every idea or goal is going to make your socks roll up and down. Sometimes we have to start with the questions I asked Alex in this coaching session and see what comes of it.
I have a feeling that many women go through this (heck, it’s more than a feeling — I coach you guys, I know … LOL), and it’s not OK for you to stick to the mundane and boring just because you think it’s what’s expected of you.
Your life is yours to do with as you please. And boring and “meh” just isn’t going to cut it.
If you’ve been feeling stuck about your best next step, pop in those earphones, and let’s get to it.
