The FUNdamental Formula: Goal-Getting with Purpose

Aaron Montgomery March 10, 2025March 4, 2025 Business Tip

Most people set goals the way they think they’re supposed to. They follow traditional advice, pick a number, aim high, and chase a finish line that might not even matter to them. Then they wonder why they lose motivation, or don’t have enough belief in themselves to make the sacrifices needed to achieve them. Many … Read more

Understanding Your Unique SVP: The Foundation for Your Business

Aaron Montgomery January 20, 2025January 16, 2025 Entrepreneurship

As a business owner, you likely have big dreams and ambitious goals. But have you ever stopped to ask yourself why you’re doing this in the first place? What’s driving your passion to succeed? For many entrepreneurs, the answer lies in something far more powerful than just money or success—it’s your SVP: Strengths, Values, and Passions.

Understanding your unique SVP is the key to not just setting goals, but to building a business that truly reflects who you are. It’s about aligning what you’re best at, what you believe in, and what excites you with the work you do every day. And when your business is built on this foundation, success feels a lot more natural—and sustainable.

So, let’s break it down:

Turning Your Goals into Reality: It’s More Than a Plan

Aaron Montgomery January 13, 2025January 12, 2025 Business Tip

Over the last two blogs (How to Actually Achieve Your Goal and Taking Your Goal-Setting to the Next Level) we have talked in detail about setting your goals, breaking them down into specific steps, and creating a plan to get there. But even with all that, you WILL hit a wall. It is actually a huge part of goal achievement; overcoming obstacles. Life gets busy, distractions pop up, and those well-intentioned goals start slipping away. It almost feels like a test to ensure you are ready for the next level.

Now I know you are ready, but you have to believe that too. You have to be willing to invest! Invest the time and resources to take your goals from “idea” to “reality.” That requires consistent action, accountability, and the right support. And that’s exactly what the Goal Getter Workshop is all about.

Taking Your Goal-Setting to the Next Level: Make Your Goals a Reality

Aaron Montgomery January 6, 2025January 3, 2025 Creativity

We all know the drill—set a goal, make a plan, and then… life happens. Your to-do list grows, distractions pop up, and suddenly those big dreams you wrote down are gathering dust on the shelf. Or worse yet, overwhelming you because you were planning for 12 months to accomplish it and there are only a few months left in the year. Then you either beat yourself up by creating a story that you will never be able to accomplish anything, or you give yourself grace and hope that you get it done next year. Either way, you stay in the same place, never reaching the goals you have for your business. But here’s the thing: setting a goal is only the first step. The real magic happens beyond all of that.

If this is you, you are not alone. The difference between a goal setter and a goal getter isn’t about talent, willpower, or luck. It’s about having a clear plan, building the right habits, and creating a system that works for you. That is the whole reason I’m hosting our annual Goal to Reality Webinar Series. This series will take your goal-setting game to the next level and help you turn those dreams into action. Let me break down a couple of the steps and then you can join us at the webinars to learn more.

How to Actually Achieve Your Goal

Aaron Montgomery December 30, 2024December 27, 2024 Business Tip

We’ve all heard of the phrase “setting goals,” and many of us are really good at it. In fact, you probably already have a list of goals you want to achieve in your business or personal life. But how many of us truly hit those targets and reach those goals? More importantly, how many of us consistently pursue those goals without getting sidetracked by distractions?

The truth is, there’s a significant difference between a goal setter and a goal getter—the person who actually accomplishes their goals. And it’s not about luck, talent, or willpower. It’s about building the right habits, mindset, and strategies to make progress consistently.

Aaron Montgomery December 16, 2024December 15, 2024 Business Tip

As a business owner, your to-do list is likely overflowing. Emails, meetings, tasks, and deadlines all demand your attention, leaving little room for the important work that will help your business grow long-term.

These are the things that will help you build a stronger foundation for your business, and they shouldn’t just be something you get to when you have time. They need to be scheduled—set in stone—so you can move forward with intention.

Aaron Montgomery November 25, 2024November 22, 2024 Entrepreneurship

As goal-oriented people, we have a laser focus on achieving what we set out to achieve. What I have come to realize is the laser focus on the result could very well be the thing holding you back from reaching it. In this post, I want to share another uncommon mindset with you.
