The Major Flaw in Goal Setting
The FitLife Formula Podcast
Description
I can pinpoint the day I decided I wanted to play Division 1 College Hockey. I was in 8th grade, sitting at a Notre Dame hockey game, and I knew I had to play hockey in college.
At the time it seemed unlikely, but with that goal I was actually selling myself short.
On the 21st episode of the FitLife Formula, we'll discuss the part of the SMART goal setting framework I have a real problem with these days.
This is going to make you want to challenge the goals you've set for yourself, and maybe even change them completely (hint: after this episode, you might find yourself aiming higher)
Today's topics include
- The biggest flaw with the SMART goals framework
- The personal experience that made me realize I had sold myself short
- Why Visioning might be a better way to create your future than setting goals
- What the hell is a B-HAG?
Enjoy today's episode!
