It’s that time of year -- where we reflect and tell ourselves, “Okay, how’d we do in our goals?”

And if you aren’t Beyonce or Taylor Swift your response to this question is, “Damn…I didn’t…”

  • Hit my revenue goals
  • Leave my job even though I talk about it all the time
  • Save $x for a home

Then anxiety settles in, and that big booming voice comes in, “What do I do now?”

Don’t worry, I get it. To be transparent, I didn’t hit my November revenue numbers I wanted last month but I am also not surprised considering it was an Election month and no one was thinking about it, plus I was on vacation for 2 weeks to Australia and New Zealand.

I DID hit my goal of skydiving 2 weeks ago! You can watch the full skydiving video on my IG @elainelou_ 

This episode is for those feeling anxious about unmet goals - how to stay focused and embrace that you’re human.

What We Cover in This Episode:

  • Six simple steps to move forward
  • Strategies to accomplish your goals
  • Techniques to be honest with yourself (aka. realistic)

If you would like to see how to work with me to create a more sustainable life where you can be more present with yourself and create your own checklist of success that’s not created by society and loved ones, then schedule a complimentary legacy business and career review at elainelou.com/call
