Stop Setting DUMB goals and start creating SMART ones

The 2% Solution: 30 Minutes to Transform Your Life

Embark on a masterclass of goal-setting with me, Dai Manuel, and discover how to craft objectives that propel you toward success.
This episode is your ticket to understanding the SMART formula—Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound goals—that acts as a cornerstone for achievement.
We'll journey through history, drawing lessons from icons like Florence Nightingale and Charles Darwin to illustrate the monumental impact of well-defined aims.
Prepare to refine your aspirations as we dissect the nuances of each SMART component, ensuring your goals aren't just hopeful wishes but blueprints for triumph.
But be warned, for every SMART goal, there's a DUMB counterpart—Disconnected, Unrealistic, Misguided, and Broad—that can ensnare your ambitions in a web of futility.
We'll tackle the common pitfalls that lead to these traps, analyzing historical blunders like the Maginot Line and Xerxes' overreach.
By aligning your targets with your core values and giving them a realistic touch, you'll be equipped to sidestep these goal-setting gaffes.
Get ready to convert your dreams into actionable, measurable realities with strategic insight that guides you from the lofty peaks of aspiration to the solid ground of accomplishment.

Have you ever wondered if you're truly living your best life or stuck in a never-ending reality show called "Why Do I Keep Doing This?"
Meet Maurice, a fellow Canadian who might be a secret wizard. He's created the Life Inventory Assessment.
At first, I was skeptical, thinking, "Sure, Maurice and I'm a unicorn."
I tried it, and whoa! I was so amazed I dedicated a podcast episode to sharing my "ah-ha" moments and clarity.
And here's the deal: This incredible tool for self-awareness can be yours for just $24.98!
That's not only a massive 75% discount; it's also just one penny short of the cost of a one-month Netflix binge of high-tier shows.
Along with this life-altering assessment, you'll also receive Dr. Douglas Tataryn's e-book, typically priced at $37.
And because I believe in overdelivering (or maybe it's just too much coffee), you'll also get my "Dai Manuel's Whole Life Fitness Manifesto" – a guide to living your best life, valued at $24.
As the cherry on top, Maurice and I will take you on a masterclass journey where we'll spill all the secrets of maximizing your newfound self-awareness.
