How Can You Set Yourself Up for Crushing Your 2025 Goals?
Big goals require more than good intentions—they need a strategy. In this episode of Kick It Open, host Shelby Nicholl sits down with Kristin Burke, goal achievement coach and host of the Elite Achievement podcast, to break down exactly how to set yourself up for success in 2025.
Kristin shares the two key questions that shape goal setting: “What do you want more of?” and “What do you want less of?” She also dives into her 4 Cs framework—clarity, confidence, courage, and consistency—and how each plays a role in turning ambitious goals into reality.
From overcoming fear and limiting beliefs to creating an actionable plan with built-in accountability, this conversation is packed with practical insights to help you set and stick to your biggest goals.
