What you'll learn:

Setting goals sets us up to fail – it’s statistically true: We don’t achieve 92% of them. If you have a goal you want to achieve, learn how to make progress without losing momentum (or waiting for everything to magically align before you get started):

💡 Find your Minimum Viable Action (MVA): Break your first step down until each action feels almost silly. ‘Start journalling’ becomes ‘buy a journal’. ‘Post more on LinkedIn’ becomes ‘post ONE comment’. If it doesn’t feel ridiculously small, keep breaking it down.

💡 Create your success streak with Do-Track-Acknowledge: Pick your cadence (daily or weekly), track it somewhere simple, and celebrate every single win. Research shows that reflecting on achievements activates the same reward pathways as the moment we achieve them, so don’t skip this part (psst, join us to celebrate wins on Instagram each Friday).

💡 Handle the roadblocks: Forgot? Stack it onto an existing habit. Lost momentum? Every day is a fresh start. Need it perfect? That’s procrastination in disguise. And resist the urge to overachieve – if your goal is 10 minutes of jogging and you do 20, great, but you still need to do 10 the next day because consistency beats intensity.

"Loved this. Was holding back on my next big step because it never seems like I have time - but thinking about the first micro goal has just made it feel totally achievable. In fact, even coming up with that first micro goal is a micro goal win in itself…"
