Have you heard of S.M.A.R.T. goals? Traditionally, this is the approach to goal-setting we’ve been taught. S.M.A.R.T. goals are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time bound.
But what if there were another way to approach goal setting? One that didn’t delay feelings of success for the very end, but one that celebrated who you were becoming in the pursuit of your goals, each and every day?
Well that is exactly what my personal business coach Amelia Travis teaches us today when she shares her approach to D.E.E.P. goal setting, which involves goals that are:
Desire-based
Emotionally-informed
Energy-aligned
Pleasureable
So if you’re ready to shift from outcome-based goals to ones that are identity-based, then pop in your earbuds and press play.

Kate’s Joyful Corner
This week I am so grateful for a Christmas gift I received from my podcast manager, Liz.
You all know that I am obsessed with coffee. I love coffee so much that I’m like 25% coffee at all times! So, for Christmas, Liz made me the most beautiful Starbucks cup that has the Starbucks logo on it. And around the Starbucks logo it says Live By Design Podcast and she also added Live By Design, Not By Default on it.
I feel so joyful when I hold this cup because it makes me think of Liz and pursuing my passion and purpose through the podcast. And it makes me think of my beloved coffee. So it’s basically all of my favorite things rolled into one!
And there is a funny story about this cup! It was a Christmas present, however, I didn’t open the package she sent until January! December was a chaotic time in our house so when it arrived it was set in a nook in our house and I came across it in January and it was the sweetest surprise!
I think I enjoyed it even more that I opened it in January and it was this wonderful surprise waiting for me.
