Living as if the goal has already succeeded is part of how the goals help you get to the place.

I've seen this in businesses where there's like, oh, we have this goal.

We're not going to make it.

And that's where the creative solution comes.

That's where the thing that you never thought was possible could

have happened. That's when the team congealed, got together, became cohesive.

Welcome to the art of accomplishment, where we explore living a life you want with enjoyment and ease.

I'm Brett Kistler, here today with my co-host, Joe Hudson. Today we're going to talk about goals.

We're going to talk about why so many of us use goals in such a way that makes us miserable.

And we're going to talk about how to use goals, how to set goals, and relate to them in a way that makes us more deeply connected to ourselves and gives us the life that we want.

Cool.

Most people that I know at least have a really shitty relationship with goals.

Either the setting a ton of goals that they then feel oppressed by or maybe a little bit

more of my flavor of they just avoid goals so they don't feel oppressed, they get to feel free,

but then also kind of lost.

And then there's a whole

bunch of other shit in the middle. And we're here at our AOA offsite. We've been here for a

couple of days. And what really struck me is the way that you and Mattia introduced the goals and

metrics into our process, which is this started a few months back. And then we all reported on our goals for the first time in this way at this meeting.

And as you opened that meeting, you started with a story that was really compelling to me.

It was a story about some executive team and how they would prepare for board meetings.

Can you elaborate on that?
