121. Our Q4 Goal Reset Without the Guilt 👏

HEY HEY! We’re back with another episode of the Hustled Up podcast and, yes, if we look a little extra shiny on video … it’s because we’re literally sweating through this one. Our office thermostat has decided that it no longer wants to function, but that’s not stopping us from bringing you a seriously good conversation about goals, growth, and getting your life together.

This week, we’re talking about something we think all entrepreneurs (and honestly, all humans) need to hear: it’s never too late to reassess (or set!) your goals. Most of us wait until January 1st to set new intentions or measure our progress, but we’ve learned firsthand that quarterly check-ins are a game-changer.

Here’s what we dive into:

• 📝 Our full focus on planners. We’re obsessed with the Full Focus Planner (not sponsored!) and how it breaks down big, scary goals into small, actionable steps. We show you exactly how we’re using it right now.

• 🔄 Why we changed our million-dollar run rate goal to $900,000. Spoiler: it’s not about giving up, it’s about protecting our business and our sanity while still stretching ourselves.

• 🍕 Celebrating wins along the way. From pizza parties for the team to margaritas and tacos, we talk about why rewarding yourself matters.

• 💡 Breaking goals into micro-steps. We share how we’re tackling client retention with our “love drops,” quality checks, and weekly client touches — proof that goals aren’t just dreams, they’re a plan.

• 🧩 Personal + professional alignment. Your life and your business aren’t separate. We get real about how far behind we are on our personal goals and why that matters just as much as revenue.

• ⏳ Why now matters more than January. Start today and by the new year, you’ll be three months ahead of everyone who’s still “waiting for Monday.”

💖 Why We Love This Episode

We love this episode because it’s such a real reflection of where we are right now as business owners. This isn’t about perfection — it’s about progress. We share the behind-the-scenes of how we use our Full Focus Planners to break big dreams into daily steps, why it’s okay to adjust your goals instead of abandoning them, and how to align your personal life with your professional ambitions.

It’s one of those episodes that reminds us — and hopefully you — that growth isn’t linear. Sometimes, success means taking a step back to build stronger systems, find balance, and create space for what matters most.

✨ Key Takeaways

✅ Quarterly check-ins are everything. You don’t have to wait for a new year to course-correct. Assessing your goals every few months helps you grow intentionally instead of reactively.

✅ Adjusting your goals isn’t failure. We changed our million-dollar run rate goal to $900,000 to protect our business integrity and team balance. Progress with peace beats chaos every time.

✅ Celebrate along the way. Your milestones deserve recognition — whether it’s a team pizza party, a night out, or simply writing down what you’re proud of.

✅ Write it down. If it’s not on paper, it’s easy to lose sight of it. Your goals need to live somewhere tangible — planner, notebook, app, whatever works for you.

✅ Align personal and professional goals. Your business and your life aren’t separate worlds. Plan for both so that your growth feels sustainable and fulfilling.

✅ Start today. It’s never too late to set new goals or revisit old ones. Start now, and you’ll be three months ahead by the new year.

We hope this episode gives you the nudge (and the permission) to reflect, reset, and plan your next move with clarity. You’ve got time, you’ve got tools — and you’ve got us cheering you on.
