How To Achieve Your Goals

Most people think achieving goals is about hustle, discipline, and long nights.
 But what if real achievement starts with something far simpler—raising your set point?

In this episode of The Jeff Heilman Project, Jeff and Jessica Heilman sit down to unpack what it really takes to achieve your biggest goals — whether it’s building a business, transforming your body, or building something as simple (and as meaningful) as a new podcast studio.

Jessica shares how she’s turning a dream into reality by building Podcast Room B from scratch — framing walls, hanging drywall, and creating a creative space for her and her daughter’s upcoming show. It’s not just a construction project — it’s a metaphor for what it means to set a goal, raise your standard, and execute with intention.

Jeff dives deep into a life-changing experience: the year he made $300,147.50 — a goal he set with no clue how he’d reach it. Through consistency, faith, and a total identity shift, he discovered that success didn’t come from chasing numbers — it came from changing his standard of what was acceptable.
