SMART goals might actually be dumb. There, I said it. Not just to you but also to everyone who listens to The Business You Really Want. While the SMART framework — Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound — can be useful, it often leads us to prioritize easy measurement over meaningful impact. And when you prioritize the wrong behavior, your goals won’t be truly motivating. Listen to this week’s episode to hear Tonya Kubo and I explain why goals can be good for some, but not necessarily for you. Make sure to stick all the way to the end of the episode for a practical action plan you can personalize to your own situation.

In this episode with Michelle Allen, we talked about how relationships, just like businesses, evolve through different stages. That "honeymoon phase" we all hear about? That’s just the beginning. Real growth happens when you push through the deeper layers of the relationship. But here’s the tough part—most people hit a wall in the maturity stage. This is where the most growth AND the most challenges happen, and it takes grit, patience, and real dedication to keep pushing forward. 💪 Think of it like a business—after the initial excitement wears off, that’s when the true test begins. Are you willing to put in the work to sustain the relationship and take it to the next level? 🌱 Michelle’s insights were spot on: relationships aren't just about the highs, they’re about embracing all the stages—learning, growing, and sometimes struggling through the friction—to create something truly lasting and meaningful. 💕 Want to hear more about navigating the stages of relationships?
