On the WOC and Allies: Business and Career Realtalk™ Podcast (formerly known as the Color Your Dreams podcast), Elaine reminds you that your definition of happiness in work and life can evolve. Elaine's podcast guests include team members, clients, friends, and even family members who discuss real challenges and how they honored their own voices. As a business owner and career leader, this podcast is here to help you overcome overwhelm, while protecting your peace. So bring your coffee, tea, or boba for some realtalk every other Thursday! @elainelou_ // www.elainelou.com
WOC and Allies: Business and Career Realtalk
102: Didn’t hit your goals this year? 6 things you can do.
It’s that time of year -- where we reflect and tell ourselves, “Okay, how’d we do in our goals?”
And if you aren’t Beyonce or Taylor Swift your response to this question is, “Damn…I didn’t…”
- Hit my revenue goals
- Leave my job even though I talk about it all the time
- Save $x for a home
Then anxiety settles in, and that big booming voice comes in, “What do I do now?”
Don’t worry, I get it. To be transparent, I didn’t hit my November revenue numbers I wanted last month but I am also not surprised considering it was an Election month and no one was thinking about it, plus I was on vacation for 2 weeks to Australia and New Zealand.
I DID hit my goal of skydiving 2 weeks ago! You can watch the full skydiving video on my IG @elainelou_
This episode is for those feeling anxious about unmet goals - how to stay focused and embrace that you’re human.
