Are you playing it safe with your dreams?
In this powerful episode, Maggie shares key insights from her recent 10X Expansion Retreat about why your biggest goals should make you a little nervous—and how to set timelines that push you forward without shutting you down.
Drawing from real client transformations and her own journey, Maggie breaks down the psychology behind why some of us tend to keep ourselves small and reveals the goal-setting framework that's helped clients double (and triple) their income.
What You'll Learn:
- Why dreaming big is especially crucial for women (and how to overcome the fear of disappointment)
- The 10-year to 5-year timeline strategy that tricks your brain into believing bigger goals are possible
- The "Goldilocks Rule" for setting progress goals that stretch you without breaking you
- Disney's 3-focus area strategy and why "if everything is important, nothing is"
- How to break down big visions into daily actions that create compound growth
- The fear test: How big dreams reveal limiting beliefs (and why that's actually good news)
Key Takeaways:
🎯 Your business and life cannot outgrow you—you need to grow first as the leader
🎯 Things take as long as we give ourselves—constraint breeds creativity
🎯 The right timeline feels challenging but believable: "Yes, it will be hard, but it's inevitable I'll achieve it"
