Chris talks about setting goals that actually excite you instead of ones you think you should pursue. He covers balancing ambition with rest to avoid burnout and building team culture around shared vision and mutual recognition.
We're not talking about goals that just look good on paper, though, or goals that you think you're supposed to have. You know how many supposed to have goals people have instead of the true goals that they actually want to have that excite them? I'm supposed to lose weight. I'm supposed to meditate. I'm supposed to. No, no, no. You better sit down at a base of a tree, actually start to understand yourself a little bit and actually get real goals on that board that excites you. I'm talking about the goals that light a fire inside you, light a fire under your. I won't swear that make you want to jump out of bed in the morning and say, yes, another day. Here's the catch. You have to balance that excitement with intentional rest and reflection, because it's easy to get caught up in the rush of trying to achieve. But if you don't take time to pause, recharge, and reflect, that hunger can quickly turn into exhaustion, AKA burnout. Right? So the goals with balance, with rest, with hunger, with curiosity, with constant action, that's how you keep individual hunger healthy, sustainable is by that rhythm that we just went through. Now, when it comes to teams, Chris, the key here is to establish a shared vision that gets everyone excited. By the way, your company vision might not excite anybody. So I want you to think about that. How do you have a company vision but also have micro visions for the teams in the direction in which you want them or you feel like they should go? A team is at its best when every member feels like they're working towards something bigger than themselves, by the way, bigger than themselves when they're working on something that matters. But here's the thing. It's not enough to just have a shared goal. You've got to create a culture where team members support each other, hunger for the growth, celebrate each other's wins, offer help when somebody's struggling, and making sure that everyone feels valued and recognized for their contributions.
