86: Why Women So Often Find Themselves Struggling With Goal Setting
Do you say things like, “I don’t set goals. I avoid them. Goal setting is too hard and a waste of time”?
Lots of women say these kinds of comments to me on consultation calls when I ask them about their goals. In a previous episode released back in the summer of 2022, I referred to “anti-goalers.” Now, a year later, I have a more accurate perspective about those who might avoid or have trouble with goal-setting and why.
In this updated episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll get to eavesdrop in on your own thinking about goals and learn which of two “anti-goaler” categories you fall into if you struggle with setting and reaching your goals. I’ll also teach you 10 reasons why women tend to avoid goal-setting in general.
