Quick Hits are 10-minute conversations designed to exercise your brain by letting you listen in on an unscripted conversation to hear other people‘s thoughts on a variety of subjects. In February of 2021 I and the members of my mastermind group thought other people might enjoy listening in on some of the lively conversations we were having. But we realized that no one was going spend 90-minutes listening to us going on about anything and sometimes nothing. Instead, we decided to pick one topic and have a short conversation to share. I took the reigns because facilitating those types of conversations sounded like fun. Over the course of a few months it grew from just members of our mastermind group to four (sometimes three if schedules go sideways) people from various parts of the world and from ”short” to exactly 10-minutes. Thus was born ”Quick Hits” hosted by me, Dr Robyn. I hope to get caught up with posting them here on PodBean at some point. As of this writing, I have over 100 ”episodes.” If you‘d like to see the videos of these conversations, they are available on my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/DrRobynQuickHits If you have a topic you‘d like to hear discussed, I encouraged you to use the contact page of my website: https://drrobynodegaard.com/ to let me know.

Planning is definitely useful in both your personal and professional life. But how useful is it to plan for many years in the future? To what extent does it guide you to your goal and to what extent is it just sheer fantasizing?
I discussed this topic with my guests on this edition of Quick Hits — mastermind coach Lisa McDonald; speaker and entrepreneur Coach MJ Tolan; and business consultant Kevin Wash.
They all agreed that long term goals can be very useful, given a number of caveats, such as the personality of that person and the nature of the goal. Plus, we should always pay attention to how we’re developing and remember that our goals can change.
“There’s so much baggage around goal setting,” Lisa told us. “It’s important to recognize where you are and ask yourself, ‘Why do I want this?’”
“Be careful,” Coach MJ advised. “Don’t get me started on how many people go emotionally bankrupt by trying to have their business be the all-in of everything.”
Kevin Wash agreed, adding that we shouldn’t get too fixated on our goals because “sometimes what you want isn’t as good as you think it might be.”
Talking with these three great minds gave me a great deal of clarity on the nature of goal-setting and I hope it does the same for you.
That said, do you think long term goals are useful?
