Summary

I know just about everyone & their mother is talking about how to set goals. Except me.

I actually think we've made goals way too important.

The magic isn't in the goal. The magic is in the work you do each day.

We all need to focus more on the work we can do TODAY to help us get what we want instead of perfecting the art of goal setting.

I'm not suggesting that goals aren't helpful - they might be for some people.

No matter what though, the magic is in the work. In the process. In what you do, not in what you want to achieve.

Today I want to help you get what you want in any month, week, day or year, and I want to put the focus where the focus needs to be - knowing what you want and staying focused on the work that will help you get it!

How to Get What You Want in 2017

Define ONE THING that will make the most difference (it doesn't have to be a big thing, but it does need to be tied to a primary thing that is holding you back)
Identify "the work" you can do on a daily basis that will help you get the one thing you want. These are the steps, choices, actions & inactions that exist as opportunities TODAY.
Be honest with yourself by acknowledging what thoughts, circumstances or actions could get in the way
Evaluate your progress every few days by asking, "Am I doing the work? Is it helping? What could I do differently today?"
Have a positive attitude about it!

"His goal attracts him because he doesn't let anything enter his soul that might oppose the goal" ~ Siddhartha

0:00.0	This is Primal Potential and I am your host, Elizabeth Benton.
0:06.6	Through education, motivation, and implementation, we will bridge the gap between knowing and
0:13.7	doing so we can master fat loss naturally and help you reach your highest potential.
0:21.2	Let's get started.
0:25.0	Hello everybody and welcome back to the Primal Potential podcast.
0:28.7	Here we are at the very last episode of 2016 and I just put up a blog post actually
0:36.3	over on Primal Potential.com with the most popular podcast episodes of the year,
0:40.7	the most popular blogs as well as some of my personal favorites. I'd love for you to check that out
0:44.7	and most importantly, I would love for you to know what your favorite podcast episode was in 2016
0:50.8	and more than that what you would love to hear in 2017 because there's no real more appropriate
0:57.6	time to remind you that this is our show, me and you. Like yeah, you listening right now,
1:05.2	this is our journey, mine and yours and I am sincerely here not to hear myself talk but to help you
1:14.9	where you need it most and the more we communicate about that the faster we make progress.
1:21.2	Now, it is the season for goal setting right? We all love a fresh start and there's nothing more
1:27.9	fresh than a whole new year. Please don't think of it that way. Seriously, that is a dieting mentality.
1:36.5	Please don't think of it that way. There are so many people I see it all over Facebook like,
1:42.4	oh I can't wait for 2016 to be over. Like well, you can have that sense that you have a fresh start
1:49.1	every single moment and there's really nothing magical about January 1st or 12-1. You know,
1:55.7	like there's nothing magical about that. We have this idea that if we have something new,
2:03.0	something fresh, whether it's a new day or a new week or a new year or a new diet or a new journal
2:07.6	or a new outfit that that's going to be the magical unicorn of change. If a fresh start was what
2:13.9	you needed, you would have capitalized on the hundreds of them that have come and gone already.
