024 - How to Effectively Plan and Execute Audacious Goals for the New Year

Description: I am not a fan of resolutions — but I am a HUGE fan of intentionally planning overly ambitious goals. In today's episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss how to plan and execute audacious goals for the new year!

Though I think this Les Brown quote is a little cheesy, it nails the theory behind setting big goals: “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.”

That's where we're heading in the new year, to the moon, at least metaphorically.
