Listen "#438: Shiny Objects Syndrome? Here’s Your Quick Fix"
Episode Synopsis
New projects may be fun and exciting, but do they align with your goals?
Imagine this scenario:
Things are going great in your online business -- you’ve created your ideal work week, you’re on track to meet your quarterly goals, and you have more time than you’ve ever had to focus on in your personal life.
And then… you have an idea.
Not just any idea, but the most brilliant idea that has ever popped into your head. It’s sexy, it’s fun, and quite honestly, it’s all you can think about.
But the thing is, this brilliant idea of yours isn’t exactly in alignment with the goals that you’ve set for yourself. In fact, it’s not even close.
This, my friend, is called Shiny Object Syndrome, and it plagues millions of entrepreneurs all over the world -- including yours truly.
I’m sure you can relate. Instead of focusing on the tasks that will get you closer to achieving your goals, you get sidetracked by an idea or project that feels new and exciting -- because, let’s be real, launching a new product or course is way more thrilling than refining and improving the one you already have.
But here’s the good news, sweet friend. As someone who is by nature drawn to all things shiny, I have come up with a few ways to hold myself accountable to my goals, stay focused, and still manage to work in a little bit of razzle-dazzle along the way.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
The one physical item I use that helps me stay on task
How I ensure that my goals get (and keep) me excited
What I do to keep my eye on the prize
The personality type you need to have on your team to help hold you accountable
