Most people fail their goals not because they lack discipline or ambition, but because the way goals are taught doesn’t survive real life.
In this episode of Everything Entrepreneurship, Kyle Jerome Carter breaks down why traditional goal-setting is quietly sabotaging ambitious professionals, entrepreneurial employees, and high performers heading into 2026.
If you’ve ever set “realistic” goals…
If you’ve ever stayed consistent but still felt stuck…
If you’ve ever done everything “right” and wondered why progress didn’t compound…
This episode will change how you think about goals forever.
You’ll learn:
Why “realistic goals” cap your growth instead of protecting you
How goals become a trap when life, work, and responsibility collide
The difference between chasing outcomes and building systems that survive chaos
What to focus on instead of goals if you want momentum that lasts
How to approach 2026 with clarity, structure, and execution that doesn’t collapse
This isn’t motivation.
This is about building a framework for progress that works when life gets busy, unpredictable, and demanding.
If you’re an ambitious employee, working professional, or entrepreneur still balancing a 9-5 while building something of your own, this episode was made for you.
🎧 Watch now and rethink how you approach success in 2026.
