If you were to rank your ability to set and achieve your goals on a scale of one to 10, what number would you score yourself? If you didn’t score as high as you would like, what do you think are the roadblocks stopping you?
As simple as goal setting may seem, we are often disappointed because we forget that it’s not all about the goals we set — it’s about our plan to achieve them. Sometimes we even make the mistake of taking other people’s goals and making them ours, and then we get frustrated when we don’t achieve them. How can you better set and achieve your goals?
Listen to this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast with Dr. Jeremy Weisz featuring Ian Garlic, Founder of Video Case Story. They discuss goals setting, the importance of self-awareness, why small goals matter, achievement and process goals, as well as roadblocks to expect. Stay tuned!

So you know, we’re talking because the great thing about podcasts is whatever I’m working on, personally, or business wise, I could have some of the top people I trust to talk about it. And you know, we’re approaching the new year, and Ian were discussing goals, and I always am curious how high level people set goals, what they do to plan their goals. And so I want Ian to come on and talk about goal setting a little bit. And so I know if you want to start off the above the different areas that you think about or look at when it comes to goal setting.
Ian Garlic 3:07
Sure. I mean, I try and think about like throughout my entire life, like what do I want spiritually, financially, family, you know, marital? Of course, I mean, then there’s business, but then, you know, health wise, of course, fun wise, what do I want to do? What do I want to learn what I want to experience? Plan it out. And I’m one of those people that I bury, you know, I’m not a planner. I’m not that person that does that. But I firmly believe in setting those goals thinking about getting some intention down. And then business wise, obviously, you know, we do top down planning. So we go hey, this is what our numbers are. And then we look at what our current numbers are. And go what do we want to sell? How much do we want to sell of this? Who do we want to work with? Who do we want to target? What new what are we going to need to do to get there what new you know what new things are going to need to do over the next year to get that done. I’m doing this right now I do it. I tried to twice a year. This is not as intense of one as middle the summer I try and get really intense into middle summer because I feel it’s a better time to be doing goal planning for business and personally, because it’s it’s quieter, right? We think of the holidays now as holidays. I think that term is we’re you know we’re recording this right after Thanksgiving. The word holiday is not appropriate for the holidays, because it’s definitely not a quiet time in most of our lives. Is it?
