#12 You Hit Your Goal...Now What?

What happens after you achieve a goal? In this episode of the Wholistic Productivity Podcast, we explore the powerful mindset shifts that keep you growing even after you’ve hit your target. From the myth of "arrival" to the truth about continuous progress, you'll learn why sustainable success depends on more than just setting SMART goals—it’s about building a mindset of momentum.

We’ll talk about:

• Why achieving a goal isn’t the finish line
• How to set realistic, stretch goals that keep you motivated
• What to do when you fall short of your goals
• The mindset that turns setbacks into strategy

Whether you’re launching a business, training for a race, or leveling up in life, this episode will help you re-frame success, reset your thinking, and stay focused on what truly matters.
