Скачать или смотреть Why SMART Goals Fail You – And How To Finally Reach Your Goals

You’ve probably heard the advice: set SMART goals — Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound. But here’s the truth: for most of us moms, juggling kids, work, and real life, SMART goals often set us up to fail.

Why? Because SMART goals focus on the outcome (the lag goal): things you can’t fully control. And when you don’t hit those outcomes, you lose momentum, feel defeated, and give up.

👉 In this video, I’ll share a better way to set goals using the lead vs. lag framework — so you can stop chasing perfection and actually build momentum toward the life you want.

What You’ll Learn in This Video:
– Why SMART goals fail most people
– The difference between lag goals and lead goals
– Two approaches to setting goals: lag-first vs. lead-first
– How to adjust when your goals aren’t working
– Practical examples for work, family, self-care, and the holiday season

✨ Journaling prompt for you:
