Stop Running in Circles with Your Goals Let's show you how to make them happen!

Dear Everyone,


How are you all doing this week?


Whether you are new to my newsletter or have been following me for a while, I want to welcome you to our weekly newsletter. Stick around towards the end on how to join our free goal setting workshop that is happening this week that I'm excited to speak at this week.


Can I share a story with you today?


Have you ever found yourself setting the same goals year after year and not able to achieve them as planned?

Let's face it sometimes life just gets in the way, and you have to re set your goals and in some cases, you just have to change your perspective on your goals.


You're not alone!


Meet Sarah - a determined professional and mother of two who believes in the power of self-improvement and has always been someone who sets ambitious goals for herself.


Sarah goes about her life as a goal-setter. Every January, she writes down her aspirations with enthusiasm - lose weight, advance her career, spend more quality time with family, learn new skills. She's optimistic and motivated, believing this year will be different. She has notebooks full of good intentions and a genuine desire to improve her life.


Month after month, Sarah finds herself in the same frustrating cycle. Her goals seem to slip away despite her best efforts. She realizes she's been setting the same goals for three years running.


The breaking point comes when she looks at her mid-year review and sees virtually no progress on anything meaningful. She feels like she's running in circles, unsure of what real progress even looks like anymore. Something has to change - she can't keep living this pattern of hope followed by disappointment.


Then One Dark Moment: Everything She Tried Failed, how disappointing.

Sarah tries everything she can think of.  She downloads goal-tracking apps but tends to abandon them after two weeks. After joining an online community where everyone appears to have everything sorted out except her, she tries to create more detailed plans. However, these plans often end up being either too overwhelming or too vague. Her friends offer advice, but it never quite aligns with her specific situation.  She faces moments of self-doubt, wondering if she's just not cut out for achieving big things. Each failed attempt makes her feel more defeated and less confident in her ability to create lasting change.


But wait there is hope!

The Discovery: Finding the SMART Strategy

Sarah discovers the SMART strategy through Marie Mason's workshop. For the first time, she learns to make her goals Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound.


Instead of "getting healthier," she sets a goal to "walk 30 minutes, 4 times per week for the next 8 weeks." The clarity is immediately empowering. She can see exactly what success looks like, track her progress daily, and celebrate small wins along the way.


The Transformation: Real Progress at Last

Within months, Sarah has achieved more meaningful progress than in the previous three years combined. She's no longer running in circles - she has a clear path forward and the confidence that comes from a proven system.


Your Journey Starts Here

Sarah used to be just like you - full of good intentions but constantly frustrated by goals that never seemed to stick.

The SMART strategy ensures your goals are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound.
