Money Alchemist EP 23 – Setting & Hitting Your Goals
Another year, different in how you make it.
2025 is here and so are the renewed pressures of the ego to break through yet another motivational barrier. The root of the word sublime stems from Latin to mean, roughly, high threshold. The things that are most worth doing are not easy.
Sublime is a subjective word. It’s true meaning found at that point where your aspirations meet the outset edge of your competency. To find it, you need to be introspective and self-aware.
This is the ethos of effective goal setting. Goals are not fun to set because they invite discomfort through a tolerable degree of invitational suffering. For years I avoided them but have since learned that extraordinary things can be achieved through incremental efforts.
While setting goals starts with an honestly aware self, meeting those goals requires consistent action of the most ordinary kind. Almost mundane, really, which is what can make accomplishment so tough.
In 2025’s first MAP episode, Brent and I discuss our thoughts on the subject with the hope that some can find encouragement. It also serves to hold ourselves accountable to our goals for the content we deliver.
Happy New Year and may you discover your own personal sublimity through this new 12-month journey in time!
