Everything is about helping you take action and see results so you achieve your goals but not lose your sanity in the process because…you deserve it!

Ep. 56 - Stop Setting Goals...Start Designing Them
If you’ve ever set a goal, lost steam halfway through, and thought, “What’s wrong with me?”, this episode will change how you think about goal setting forever. I share my signature approach of goal design, a method that helps you create goals that actually fit your life instead of fighting it. You’ll learn how to build your goals like a home renovation, with intention, alignment, and a clear design plan.
In this episode:
Why traditional goal setting often fails
The question most goal-setting methods never ask
How to design a goal that supports how you want to feel
The 4-step process for creating goals that fit your season and energy
The role of weekly tracking and momentum in staying on course
Your Accountable Action:
Ask yourself:
1️⃣ What do I want and why does it matter?
2️⃣ How do I want to feel as I pursue it?
3️⃣ What are my real-life limitations right now?
4️⃣ How can I build visible momentum every week?
Stop setting goals you’ll forget. Start designing goals you’ll love pursuing. If you want more on this, go to amandamckinney.com/goaldesign
