Ep 86. The Time is Now: Set Bold Goals Before the Moment Passes You By
Time is our most precious resource, yet we often sacrifice present moments chasing future success without realizing how limited our time truly is with the people who matter most.
• If your child is 10 years old, you have only 8 more summers before they graduate high school
• With a 14-year-old, only 4 summers remain; with a 17-year-old, this might be your last
• We spend too much time grinding for the future while forgetting to live in the present
• The biggest risk in life isn't failure—it's regret
• Set bold goals not just for your career, but for your life
• Take one-on-one trips with each of your kids
• Unplug from work by 6 pm and be fully present at dinner
• Say yes more often to adventure and quality time
• You can always make more money, but you can't make more time

Welcome to the Go Big With Gibb podcast, where we talk to professionals, business owners and entrepreneurs about their big wins. Welcome back to this episode of Go Big With Gibb, the show where we talk about living boldly, building wealth and chasing the life that you're meant to live. I'm your host, gibb Irons. Today, I want to hit pause just for a second and talk about something that matters more than business deals or returns. I want to talk about time. Summer's coming to a close, the beach bags are going back to the closet, the backpacks are coming out and, if you're like me, you're watching your kids walk out the door thinking where did time go? Let me put this in perspective. If your child is 10 years old, you've got eight more summers before they graduate high school. If they're 14, you've got four. If they're 17, this might be the last one. Think about it. We spent so much time grinding for the future that we forget to live in the present. The future is happening right now, so I want you to challenge yourself as we head into the fall.
Speaker 1:Set bold goals, seize the moment. Don't let this season pass you by while you're stuck in emails and meetings and mixed moments. If there's a vacation you've been dreaming about, book it. If there's a business idea you've been sitting on, start it. If there's a relationship that needs more of you, show up, because the biggest risk in life isn't failure, it's regret, and nothing stings more than looking back and realizing you were so focused on the grind that you missed the good stuff.
Speaker 1:So, as the school year kicks off, set some personal goals, not just for your career, but for your life. Make a goal to take one-on-one trips with each of your kids. Make a goal to unplug from work by 6 pm and be fully present at dinner. Make a goal to say yes more often to adventure, to quality time and to the stuff that fills your soul. Don't wait until retirement to start living. Live now. Be bold, be intentional, be the kind of parent, the kind of person that you want your kids to remember. You can always make more money. You can't make more time. Until next time, I'm your host, gib Irons, encouraging you to set bold goals. Take the trip, build the dream and, as always, go big.
