Why I'm Rethinking Goals Altogether

The Graham Cochrane Show

Show Notes

As we head into a new year, I’m not trying to set bigger goals or push harder. Honestly, I’m doing the opposite.

I’ve realized that striving has a way of sneaking in — even when things are going well — and it slowly steals joy, peace, and clarity.

So lately, every goal and every decision in my life and business has to pass through the same three filters: Is this simple? Is this effortless? And… is it actually fun?

Today, I want to walk you through that filter and how it’s changing the way I build, decide, and trust God with what’s next.

I wasn't sure if I was even going to make this episode — this might get me in some trouble. But I think it's a conversation Christian entrepreneurs need to have: is it a sin to want more?
