On today’s episode of the Business With Impact podcast, we're talking about priority-based living and why it’s so important when it comes to goal setting.   You see, there’s a problem with traditional goal setting.   Oftentimes, we set goals for our business, and what do we do? We start to dream and we pick some numbers (really, if we're being honest, out of thin air) based on what we wish and we immediately attach a whole lot of meaning to a number that we arbitrarily picked because someone told us that's what we needed to do…   I have a problem with that.  So, we’re diving into what priority-based living means, why it matters, and how we implement it in our business and life when it comes to goal setting. --- Links mentioned in this episode:  → Follow Rachel on Instagram: @rachelrmcmichael → Learn more about The Business with Impact Academy HERE. → Grab your FREE organic traffic checklist HERE!

I remember the very first time that I started a group coaching program and the first six weeks were focused exclusively on mindset.   I'll never forget emailing the coach and asking, “Can we please just fast forward to the good stuff?” Because all I wanted was the strategy, the system, the step by step process.   Little did I know that those first six weeks would build a foundation that would then allow me to scale my business to six figures, and eventually, beyond that.   Today I'm so excited to introduce you to Brad Bizjack! He is the king of helping people rewire their brains, change their thoughts, and really focus on any hidden beliefs that come up for online business owners–the things that are unknowingly stopping us from taking the action we need to take to get the results we want to get.  I can’t wait to discuss all of these things and more with you on today’s episode.
