Summary

In this episode of the Rachel Hollis podcast, Rachel shares her personal journey from being overwhelmed by multiple goals to discovering the power of focused goal setting.

Rachel shares insights from her career evolution, starting from a wedding and event planner to becoming a successful author and the founder of Start Today. She discusses the importance of writing down goals as if they have already happened, which helped her visualize and achieve them more effectively.

0:00.0	What I didn't understand then that I know now is it's awesome to have a ton of goals.
0:08.2	It's awesome to dream big. I'm the queen of dreaming big. I'm the Queen of Dreaming big. But the key if you actually want to
0:17.6	achieve the thing is that you need to focus. You need to be able to focus in on a single target.
