Are You Setting Goals You Actually Want? With Diane Rolston (DW378)
Before you work any harder towards your goals this fall, there's one question worth asking first: are you actually chasing what you want? Listen as our host, Diane Rolston, gets honest about something ambitious women rarely stop to examine: the goals they're pursuing that were never really theirs to begin with. She shares why the friction you're feeling might not be a discipline problem at all. Listen to learn these key takeaways: Why ambitious women are great at setting goals, but not every goal comes from a genuine desire (some come from expectations, comparison, or simply being the next logical step) Why Diane quit a commitment even though she invested money, made a plan, and had committed, and what Diane's coach asked that changed everything The difference between not wanting to do something and not wanting the outcome, and why that distinction matters more than you think What "should goals" actually sound like and why they feel heavy even when they sound impressive Why women often assume they're procrastinating when they might actually be resisting a goal that doesn't belong to them The connection to Chasing: the spark that says "she stopped listening to me years ago", and what that means for the goals you're quietly ignoring The client who wanted a promotion, and what doing the Wheel of Life revealed was actually underneath that goal Why carrying the wrong goals into a busy season just creates more pressure, and why the fall is the perfect time to pause and check in The reminder that sometimes the goal doesn't need to be dropped. It just needs to be achieved a different way (or made even bigger) The truth about friction: a goal you don't actually want will fight you every step of the way, and no amount of discipline can fix that She's Goaled Coaching Mastermind doors are open until September 4th at 11:59 pm Pacific.
