Have you been setting the wrong goals?
Plans for my 90 day soulfueled reset and realignment
If you think money is the worst thing you can waste, you’re mistaken.
The most expensive thing you can waste is time.
The most expensive thing you can do is procrastinate.
Each time you put things off, you lessen the time you have to compound momentous energy and value into your business.
Time is on your side… until you waste it
So don’t waste it chasing other people’s goals.
Don’t waste it listening to those who put down you or your dreams.
Don’t waste it on things that don’t feel right to you.
Don’t squander it chasing what you think you “should” be doing.
I had to learn this expensive time and financial lesson… the hard way and numerous times.
I kept finding ways to justify why “this time” was going to be different.
Ultimately, the problem originated… within me
It didn’t matter what and how many strategies I tried.
If I wasn’t clear and specific about my goals,
If I wasn’t aligned with my Work Vision,
and if I didn’t believe in myself,
my path to success would undoubtedly be filled with tons of detours, obstacles, and failures.
That wasn’t fun to admit, BUT it was empowering.
That means I could stop looking externally for validation, approval, and answers.
It was like finally finding the missing puzzle pieces I’ve been searching for so long.
Realigning with a better way to set goals
Through my journey, I’ve also discovered a different way to set goals… derived from my soul and amplifying them with the power of manifestation. (Oh yah, if it’s not obvious already, I’m into all that the woo woo spiritual stuff.)
The thing is that this worked before!! But I abandoned it to follow other people’s approach.
No, it’s not just writing it down.
Even if you put it into the SMART goal format, that’s still just a start.
It’s more important to envision the bigger picture of how those goals add more to your life and what it would be like to enjoy the fulfillment of your goals.
That bigger picture is your vision. I call mine my “Work Life Vision”.
That’s where you find your soul fuel⎯that deeper why and drive to keep going.
That’s where you find the what of your desires.
And that’s where you’ll find the answers you’ve been seeking for the how.
Declaring my 90-day plan
After revisiting and reclarifying my business vision, my next steps have become clearer.
And to strengthen my commitment to these goals, I’d like to share them with you as well. (Thanks to for this nudge as he shared his publicly, too.)
These are my goals for the next 90 days, ending on November 15th, and I will celebrate my achievements and transformation in:
Reshaped my negative perspective on social media and showed up better – Be more authentic, feel more enjoyable, and develop sustainable long term habits (I’ll share more about this next week). More importantly, engage with others again.
Solidified my consistency habit – Write and post consistently, overcoming any excuses: Writing daily, posting on social every weekday, and publishing Soulfueled weekly and Paper Planes (my love + dating newsletter) twice a week.
Built a community around Soulfueled principles – Develop and implement my Substack Paid structure and perks. Launch my app and portal for courses.
Embodied what I’ve learned from these two books – “A Happy Pocket Full of Money” (foundation and practices for manifestation) and “The Go Giver” (heart centered principles for business).
I’ll take on these goals, step by step.
It’s not about charging full steam ahead, forcing big changes with a rigid structure.
It’s about building up small compounding changes, turning it into a long term habit, and creating a new status quo for myself.
I’m focusing on the long term, and using the next 90 days to strengthen my foundation.
No burning out. No overworking. No quitting.
More being. More alignment. More enjoyment.
Stay tuned for continual updates and reading my insights here, so that you can shortcut your own journey towards a more Soulfueled life and business.
USEFUL JOURNAL PROMPTS
What is that task (or project) that you feel called to do but have been putting off? Take a moment to let it come alive in your imagination. What does it look like and how does it feel to do and complete it?
P.S. If this gave you the push to stop wasting time on what’s not aligned and start moving with more intention, tap the 🧡 to let me know. Share or restack this post if you want to normalize building success at a pace and path that actually feels right.
Cutting down goals to 90 days instead of a year, once a year, at New Year is a great idea. It's a doable chunk of time to achieve something and make progress, but also not too overwhelming. And it's a way to keep on track and make sure we don't waste that precious commodity, time.
This is such a great, and inspiring post. This all seems very doable for you and I'm excited to see your progress. These goals feel very compounding, so it feels like you'll be seeing the improvement as the 90 days pass. You got this!
