Chasing Goals & Real Happiness

Have you ever thought REAL happiness would come if you just got that “next big thing” in your career, only to find yourself unsatisfied and chasing a new goal within weeks or months?

This coaching is for you.

When I started my business, I thought I’d be happy if I could just replicate my old corporate income while working for myself and helping other people.

Once I accomplished that, I started looking for the next goal—to out-earn my old salary while creating a media platform to inspire millions.

My podcast debuted #1 on Apple (and has listeners in 80+ countries), I’ve done national media appearances, and last year was my highest earning year as an adult.

And all I did was decide on another arbitrary happiness carrot to chase.

Here’s the truth. Your goals are a compass, not the treasure.

As Art Buchwald once said, “The best things in life aren’t things.”

While at a personal growth conference, I did a guided meditation where I began to think of the happiest memories of my life. None of the memories had anything to do with income, accomplishments, influence, or accolades.

Every single meaningful memory was about relationships.

I remembered my Dad taking me to WWE wrestling matches as a kid and how much fun we had.

I remembered the group of friends who lifted me up during my divorce and how we had so many laughs, and a few cocktails, during Saturday afternoon pool parties at my house.

I thought about my friend Raina and how we sat up till 2 am the night before, sharing openly about ourselves and our lives, creating an amazing friendship built on love and acceptance.

Yes, we need to know our purpose and commit to the journey of bringing it to life.

But relationships are the fuel that keeps us moving forward. Because the more we grow, the more we can give to others. As we achieve our goals, we want to celebrate with people who add love and support to our lives.

The danger is in getting so caught up in the goals, you can forget about the connections.

Many clients come to me because they’re literally killing themselves to achieve a level of success to prove they’re “enough,” while also suffering in isolation and disconnection in the process.

So, take a moment today to create your own emotional wealth portfolio. Are you investing in relationships? What relationships are you investing time in? Are you getting a return on your investment? Or are those relationships draining your energetic account?

Your work MATTERS.

Your work should add MEANING to your life.

Your work can create a big income.

However, if you have millions of dollars in the bank and lack loving relationships, you’re still poor.

You can have financial wealth AND emotional wealth. You don’t have to choose.

And I’m here to help you create both when you’re ready.
