Episode #85 Imposter Series Part 8 – Your Goal Needs A Purpose

If you set goals at the beginning of the year, now’s the perfect time to evaluate your progress towards them so far. If you haven’t, it’s not too late to set them. But goals are only half the story. The other half is the underlying purpose behind them.

On the podcast this week I talk about both goals and purpose – the difference between the two and why they are critical to helping you solve your Imposter Syndrome. I explain what a purpose is and why it’s so important to ensure your goals and purpose are aligned. I also give you 3 recommendations of where to look in order to find your purpose.

In this episode:

Goals vs Purpose
3 reasons why purpose is important
Why your goals and purpose help solve your imposter syndrome
How to set goals
How to find your purpose
