Summary
You have permission to set massive, audacious, and abundant goals. The key to achieving them is to make sure that you have support and tools in place so that you can become the person you need to be in order to get to that next level.
In this episode, I share how I handle the well-meaning people in my life who try to minimize my goals and what I do when I'm experiencing moments of self-doubt. I also touch on how to get to the root cause of your imposter syndrome and tangible ways to set yourself up for success.
In this episode we talk about:
- The #1 way to make sure that you don't get discouraged in the pursuit of ambitious goals
- What I notice about my mindset and habits when I set big goals
- Expanding your imagination for what's possible
- The role that your community plays in your success
- Why I think it's so important to set "unrealistic" goals for yourself

| 0:04.8 | They don't change your world. |
| 0:06.7 | The bigger the vision, the more it's going to require you to grow and become a new version of yourself. |

| 0:18.5 | Welcome to Powerhouse Women, the podcast for women who know they are ready for more. |
| 0:25.5 | I'm Lindsay Schwartz, your host and the founder of Powerhouse Women, and together we'll unlock |
| 0:31.3 | the confidence and clarity you are looking for to help you get out of your own way and into action around your next big idea. |
| 0:44.7 | Today we are going to talk about goals. And for those of you who are starting the new year with |

| 0:56.0 | of your life with a new intention for something you want to achieve in your business, in your |
| 1:01.3 | personal life, for your own growth. This conversation is going to be such an important one |
| 1:06.3 | to come back to as a reminder that the people who are moving the world forward are the people who are willing |
| 1:15.4 | to set really audacious goals. But they also are the people who are backing those goals up |
| 1:23.1 | with expectations and action that match the outcome that they want to produce. |
| 1:29.7 | So this podcast episode was inspired by a recent conversation that came up within our |
| 1:35.5 | six-figure school community. And it was this conversation around, should I set more |
| 1:41.0 | realistic goals? I don't know if you've ever had that thought or maybe had someone |
| 1:45.9 | in your life tell you to be more realistic, but I want to break this concept down today and really |
| 1:52.6 | give you permission to set massively and abundantly large goals, but also be mindful about how well you're setting yourself up to |
| 2:06.4 | not just complete those goals, but have the right expectations around how they'll come about |
