Change Wired

The obsession with the finish line is what holds back your progress. The goal-setting mistake most non-coaches do.

Angela Shurina Season 2025

The finish line is seductive and often the very thing that stalls progress.  

We take you inside a behavior-first approach that replaces outcome anxiety with clear, repeatable actions you can control today.  

Speaking from nearly two decades of coaching, we break down why revenue targets, weight goals, and follower counts are lagging indicators that reflect the past, and how leading indicators—your consistent behaviors—are the true drivers of future results.  

We map the mindset shift from chasing to creating, showing how to use vision as a compass while building daily momentum with quality reps. Expect practical examples across fitness, writing, and business: from scheduling a 45-minute strength session to publishing one deeply researched article a week to delivering two sharp sales presentations.  

You’ll learn the 2-step method—realistic assessment and internal release—that translates big aspirations into scheduled, trackable behaviors, then frees your mind from fixating on the scoreboard.  

We also reframe failure as feedback.  

When the outcome lags despite solid execution, it’s not a moral verdict—it’s data that your plan needs adjustment. We offer three reflection questions to drive continuous improvement and show how to protect your best energy for your most important reps. If you’re ready to swap magical thinking for a system that compounds, this conversation gives you the tools to define, schedule, and honor the actions that move you forward.  

Subscribe for more process-driven strategies, share this with a friend who’s goal-stuck, and leave a review to tell us the one behavior you’re committing to this week.  

Your next step is the only one that matters—what will you put on the calendar today?
