Episode #147. Stop setting goals. Make pacts.

Are rigid goals and New Year's resolutions draining your momentum? This coming New  Year, ditch goal setting and pivot into power‑pacts that fuel personal and professional growth, not your guilt. In this episode, let’s talk about a new approach to your end of year, New Year reset. You’ll discover how to stop goal‑setting your life into irrelevant boxes and instead craft short, curiosity‑driven pacts: small‑scale experiments that build real momentum for your progress. If you’ve ever felt you're missing the goals you set at the start of each new year or season, this episode is for you.

To get 2026 ready, we'll discuss:

- Why traditional goal‑setting often doesn’t work and creates unnecessary pressure for your new year.

- How to switch from goal setting to an experimental mindset in 2026, one that values process over outcome - while still achieving progress.

- How to create your own pact: experiment, set a defined number of trials, show up consistently and review learning.

- How this approach to goal setting aligns with New Year energy but gives you flexibility, not rigidity, for goals you’ll regret ever made.

Practical next steps so you can start your first pact today and make 2026 surprisingly powerful.
