How to Set Goals You’ll Actually Achieve

Paul Alex Espinoza
About this episode

Welcome back to The Level Up Podcast! I’m your host, Paul Alex, and today, we’re covering a crucial aspect of success—setting goals and actually achieving them. It’s easy to talk about goals, but the challenge comes in making them a reality. Let's break down actionable strategies to set goals you’ll stick with and make happen.

Key Takeaways:

  • Get Specific and Measurable: Goals like “making more money” or “getting in shape” are too vague. Instead, aim for measurable targets, like “increase revenue by 20% this quarter” or “lose 10 pounds in three months.”
  • Break Goals into Actionable Steps: Big goals can feel overwhelming, leading to procrastination. Break them into smaller tasks and set milestones to build momentum with each win.
  • Set a Deadline and Stay Accountable: A clear timeline keeps you focused and adds urgency. For extra accountability, share your goal with a mentor or friend who will check in on your progress.
  • Visualize the Outcome and Stay Adaptable: Imagine achieving your goal and use that vision as motivation, but stay flexible. Life happens, so be ready to adapt and keep moving forward.

Achieving your goals means setting clear, measurable targets, breaking them down, staying accountable, and remaining adaptable. Goals are your roadmap—set them, work for them, and as always, let’s level up!

If you’re serious about leveling up, make sales a priority. It’s more than just a skill—it’s a mindset. Embrace it, master it, and, as always, keep leveling up!
