This episode will help you set the right goals for you.

Goals matter. They make your life easier and they create a sense of purpose and meaning.

But most people don’t set goals the right way, which is why they fail before they even start.

That’s not going to be you.

This episode is a comprehensive toolkit that will help you set the goals that inspire you and make you feel excited about the year ahead.

And, it’s part of our month-long series covering the foundational research and topics related to creating a better life.

Today, you’re not only going to learn the correct way to set goals according to research, you’re also going to identify 1-3 goals for yourself, and I’ll be doing the same thing right along with you.

Have no idea what your goals are or where to even start?

Don’t worry; you will by the end of the episode.

You’ll apply the latest research every single step of the way.

And that’s not all.

You can access a free companion workbook at melrobbins.com/goals that will walk you through everything we’re talking about so you can go even deeper into this conversation.

Expect your goals to change as you listen to this episode, so don’t worry about doing any of this “right.”

By the end of this episode you will have even taken the first steps toward your goal.

How cool is that? I can’t wait. Let’s get started.
