Abundant Practice PodcastEpisode #666: How To Set Goals EffectivelyFeeling stuck with long-term goals? You're not alone. In today's Ask Allison, I talk about how to stop spinning out over "growth" and start getting clear. You don't need a five-year plan. You need to know what kind of growth you're after—more income, more time, a new revenue stream? Each one has a different path. Start with your "why," then break your goal into micro-steps and actually schedule them. What doesn't get scheduled doesn't happen. And remember: ambitious is great, but realistic wins every time.

Instead of leading with your method, speak to their experience. Talk about the stuckness, the frustration, the sense that talk therapy didn't go deep enough. That's what makes people feel seen—and curious. You don't need to explain everything. You just need to show them you get it.
