Ever feel like you're working hard but not making real progress? The secret isn’t working more—it’s setting the right goals and tracking them.
Successful entrepreneurs, top athletes, and high achievers all have one thing in common: they don’t just dream—they set clear, strategic goals and take consistent action.
I’ve used goal setting to:
✔ Start 4 profitable businesses (Marketing Scaleur, MyCataleya, Jelloow, and my mentoring business)
✔ Travel to 63 countries while balancing work and family
✔ Raise $250K+ for my startup, Jelloow
✔ Run a marathon and maintain a fitness routine
✔ Grow my LinkedIn to 30K followers & build my FemFuel newsletter
Why Goal Setting is a Game-Changer
Most people set vague goals like:
“I want to make more money.”
“I want to be healthier.”
“I want to grow my business.”
But the ones who actually succeed set clear, trackable goals like:
“I want to make $10K/month by December by selling my digital product.”
“I will run 3x per week for 6 months to complete my first marathon.”
“I will land 5 high-ticket clients in the next 90 days by pitching daily.”
My Personal Goal-Setting System
Over the years, I’ve refined a goal-setting framework that helps me stay on track in all areas of life:
1️⃣ Business Goals
Example: Growing Jelloow to $1M in revenue by expanding into new markets.Strategy: Focus on data-driven marketing & scaling partnerships.
2️⃣ Personal Goals
Example: Visiting 70 countries by 2026.Strategy: Plan 2-3 international trips per year while balancing work & family.
3️⃣ Health Goals
Example: Running another marathon in 2025 while maintaining a healthy lifestyle.Strategy: Train 3x per week and track progress.
4️⃣ Learning & Growth Goals
Example: Completing my WSET Level 4 in wine (because learning should be fun!).Strategy: Dedicate 5 hours/month to studying and tasting sessions.
How to Set & Track Your Own Goals
Want to set goals like a pro? Here’s what you need to do:
1️⃣ Be Specific. Set clear, measurable goals. No more vague “I want to be successful” statements.
2️⃣ Set Deadlines. A goal without a deadline is just a wish.
3️⃣ Break It Down. Create mini-milestones so you can measure progress.
4️⃣ Track Your Progress. If you’re not tracking it, you’re not improving.
5️⃣ Stay Accountable. Find a mentor, community, or tool to keep you on track.
