043 Goal Setting: Welcome to 2023

Welcome to this episode of the Fail Forward podcast.

Whether you’re a New Year Resolution setter or not, there is something about January that makes (almost) everyone think about their goals and ambitions for the coming year.

In just 10 minutes I’ll take you through how to approach your goal setting in a methodical way and why you must start by reflecting on what went well, and not so well, last year.

As you know, this podcast is all about taking the positives from our failures - large or small - in order to fail forward. And with that in mind I’ll explain why you need to look at your past successes before the stuff that didn’t quite go how you’d have liked it to.

By the end of the episode you'll understand how to enjoy the benefits of generating a positive compound effect while avoiding harmful negative compound effects. If you’re thinking, “I’m doing OK, why should I bother setting goals?” My response is, think of goals like a sat nav for your business. Without them, you might still get where you want to be, but with them you’ll get there faster and more efficiently.

Finally, I have a small favour to ask in this episode and I hope that all my regular listeners will be able to help. Listen now and if you need any feedback or inspiration, I’d love to hear from you. My inboxes are open and I’m happy to help you understand how to create a plan that will move you towards your goals.
