A journey without direction is just… wandering. And trust me, I’ve done more wandering than I’d like to admit—mentally, financially, and sometimes even in Target (where time and money both go to die).
But what I’ve learned—thanks to way too many self-help audiobooks—is this: goals give life direction. They’re not just to-do list items. They’re signposts. Motivation fuel. The difference between moving forward and spinning in place.
Why Goal Setting Changed Everything for Me
One thing every life coach, motivational speaker, and success guru seems to agree on? Goal setting is everything. Whether it’s short-term or long-term, goals act as a roadmap. And the beautiful part? Once you reach one, you just set another. Constant evolution.
So, in this new season of reinventing myself, I’m finally taking that advice seriously. I’m not just setting goals—I’m speaking them out loud, writing them down, and chasing them like they owe me money.
What Should My Goals Be? The Million-Dollar Question (Literally)
Should I aim to become a millionaire? A real estate mogul? The world’s greatest dad? (Trick question—it’s all three.)
That’s the magic of goal-setting: your goals can be as big, weird, or wild as you want them to be—as long as they pull you forward and reflect your real values. But I’ll admit it: for a long time, I was low-key terrified of setting goals.
Because goals feel like promises. And breaking promises (especially to yourself) stings. So I kept my goals vague, quiet, and super flexible—like a yoga teacher with commitment issues.
But vague goals don’t work. They don’t push you. They don’t build momentum. And they definitely don’t pay bills.
Time for Some BHAGs: Big, Hairy, Audacious Goals
If I want to reinvent my life, I need to go bold. Think Big Hairy Audacious Goals—the kind that scare you a little and excite you a lot. So here they are, out in the open (no backsies):
🧠 Goal #1: Win That Big Account (AKA Feed My Business, Not My Anxiety)
I recently submitted a bid for a new account, and if I land it, everything changes. More work? Yes. More revenue and growth? Also yes. Fewer nights stress-Googling “how to make payroll with $13”? Absolutely.
This account could be a turning point for my business—and my sanity. Entrepreneurship isn’t for the faint of heart, but it gets a whole lot easier with solid clients and predictable income.
🏡 Goal #2: Move Out of My Parents’ House (Again… Sigh)
Yep, I’m a grown adult temporarily living with my parents. While I appreciate the support, building an empire from your childhood bedroom has its challenges—especially when family drama is a daily feature.
It’s time to reclaim my space, reduce distractions, and finally stop fighting over whose turn it is to take out the trash. Independence isn’t just about living alone—it’s about creating an environment where I can focus, parent, and prosper.
💳 Goal #3: Crush $70K in Credit Card Debt (With Extreme Prejudice)
Let’s talk debt. I’ve racked up about $70,000 in business and personal credit card debt—and it’s not exactly the 0% interest kind. This debt has been hanging over me like a Netflix subscription I forgot to cancel.
The goal? Pay it all off by next year. That means grinding harder, saving smarter, and skipping impulsive “window shopping” that ends in cartfuls of things I definitely don’t need (I’m looking at you, home decor aisle).
Getting debt-free won’t just boost my finances—it’ll free up mental space, improve my credit health, and let me start building real wealth instead of just treading water.
Wrapping It Up: Why These 3 Goals Actually Matter
Sure, these goals are about money, business, and life logistics. But more than that, they’re about building a life that doesn’t feel like I’m constantly playing defense. These are my keys to peace, progress, and maybe even a little pride.
And hey, maybe I’ll finally sleep through the night without doing imaginary math in my head.
What Are Your Big Goals?
I challenge you—yep, you reading this—to do the same. Set a few scary goals. Speak them out loud. Write them down. Heck, shout them into the void if that’s your thing.
Because the more real your goals become, the more likely you are to chase them—and the more powerful your transformation will be.
Let’s hold each other accountable. Let’s aim high. Let’s get uncomfortable and grow anyway.
Together, we can turn ambition into action—and become the bold, goal-chasing, life-reinventing legends we were meant to be.
