Before you can set meaningful goals, you need to get real about where you actually are.
Not where you wish you were. Not where Instagram makes it look like you should be. Where you actually are right now.
**Here's what most people skip:**
They jump straight to "I want to make $100k" or "I want 10k followers" without being honest about their current situation, habits, and what's actually holding them back.
**The missing step is brutal honesty.**
Joe shared an amazing tool with us that helps with this: the Brain Dump.
It's simple but powerful - get everything out of your head onto paper (or screen).
Your real goals. Your fears. What's working. What's not. The messy truth.
**Why this matters:**
You can't build a real plan on fake foundations.
If you're not honest about your starting point, your goals become fantasy instead of targets.
Honesty isn't negative - it's strategic. It's how you identify the actual gaps between where you are and where you want to go.
**Speaking of goal setting...**
Are you coming to our Goal Setting Masterclass?
We're going deep on:
- Setting goals that actually work for YOUR situation
- Creating actionable plans (not just wishes)
- Building systems that support your goals
- Staying accountable and adjusting as you grow
**Bottom line:** Before you set goals, get honest. Use the brain dump. Clear your head. See what's really there.
Then build your goals from truth, not from what sounds good.
**Question for the group:** How honest are you with yourself when setting goals?
What helps you get clear on where you actually are vs where you want to be?
