Mind Made Up (formerly The Brand Cure‪)‬ Ashley Chymiy

We've all heard of so-called "SMART" goals, but what if the science shows they're actually NOT always the most effective at getting results? It turns out that when you're starting a business, SMART goals can actually set us up for procrastination, perfectionism, and disappointment... In this episode we're looking at Goal Orientation Theory and the psychological reasons our goals so often set us up for failure – and how to set better goals that actually improve performance and get better results!

When we mess up, make mistakes, or don't get a result we want, the disappointment can be crushing. Sometimes we blame ourselves, or blame others... we may even consider walking away altogether from our business, our book idea, or passion project. In this episode, we're exploring the neurochemistry of disappointment, and how to allow the feeling to pass, learn from the experience, and move forward with greater clarity, insight, and strength.

We all feel behind at some point – we may tell ourselves we should be "further along by now" compared to our peers, friends, or personal heroes. Even those who seem to have it all figured out may be struggling behind the scenes with an invisible problem and self-doubt – so in this episode, we're exploring what's happening in our brains when we compare ourselves with others, and how we can reclaim our confidence and start loving where we're at, and our own unique path forward.
