How to Set Goals You Actually Achieve

The Resurrection Room with Kelli Shaw

Show Notes

Setting a goal can feel exciting, but excitement alone cannot carry you through the days when progress feels slow, doubt begins speaking, or an old pattern tempts you to stop. In this continuation of Only 30 Days to an Entirely New Reality, Kelli explains how to turn a meaningful goal into a process you can follow. You will learn why achieving a goal requires both an execution plan and an identity plan and how these two plans work together to help you continue after the initial excitement fades. Your execution plan identifies what you want to accomplish, the strategy you will use, the repeated actions that support it, and when those actions will happen. Your identity plan prepares you to recognize the beliefs, emotions, and behaviors that may surface as you begin asking more of yourself. In this episode, you will learn:

The difference between a vision and a measurable goal

The four parts of an execution plan

How to choose a strategy that fits your current season

How to turn your intentions into scheduled, repeatable actions

Why every meaningful goal creates an identity question

How your language can reinforce an old identity or support a new one

How to prepare for the moment an old pattern appears

How to create evidence that strengthens the identity you are practicing

How to use an Evidence Book or Proof Journal during your 30-day practice

Your Exercise Choose one meaningful goal and create two plans. Execution Plan

What specific result am I working toward?

What strategy will I use?

What repeated actions does that strategy require?

When will I complete those actions?

Identity Plan

Who am I practicing being as I pursue this goal?

What old belief or behavior is likely to appear?

How will I respond when it appears?

What action can I complete today that creates evidence?

At the end of each day, record what you completed, what you learned, and one moment that reflects the identity you are practicing. Every completed action—and every decision to return after a missed day—becomes evidence.

You can know what you want your life to look like and still feel unsure how to begin. In this episode, Kelli explores four things that can support you as you practice an updated identity: a clear vision, a sense of safety, repetition, and evidence. Drawing on Habakkuk 2:2, Kelli shares how to make your vision plain even when you do not know every step ahead. She also explains what it can mean for your body to feel safe while you try something new, and offers practical ways to meet uncertainty with steadiness and support. Then, learn how to choose a small daily habit that expresses the identity you are practicing, connect it to a time and cue, and reframe the moment when you do not feel like beginning. Each action gives you experience to learn from and evidence you can recognize. In this episode, you’ll learn:

Be, Do, Have: Are You Wanting It, or Are You Becoming Her? "I want to own my own business" and "I am an entrepreneur" describe the same dream, but they feel completely different in your body, and your brain treats them differently too. In this episode of The Resurrection Room, Kelli Shaw breaks down the Be, Do, Have principle and shows why so many accomplished women have been building their lives in the reverse order, waiting to have the money, the time, or the clients before they give themselves permission to become the woman who has them. Kelli walks through what your brain does every time you say "I want," why your self-concept works as a prediction your behavior follows, and what research on identity-based motivation reveals about why some women keep going after a rejection while others decide the dream was never for them. Then she takes you into Judges 6, where God calls Gideon a mighty warrior while he is hiding in a winepress, and shows how God has always spoken identity first. In this episode:

Before anyone told you who you were, something was already true about you. So where does identity begin? In this episode of The Resurrection Room with Kelli Shaw, Kelli goes beneath the labels, roles, accomplishments, failures, and survival patterns we often mistake for identity. We explore the difference between original identity and acquired identity, including how experiences become interpretations, interpretations become beliefs, and repeated beliefs become part of the way we see ourselves. You’ll hear how this process connects to Kelli’s identity framework: Identity shapes your perception.Your perception dictates your behavior.Your behavior drives your actions.Your actions produce your outcomes. The problem begins when the identity driving this cycle was formed through rejection, fear, comparison, financial struggle, criticism, abandonment, or the need to earn love and approval. A belief such as “my voice causes problems,” “I’m bad with money,” “I never finish anything,” or “I have to hold everything together” starts as a conclusion. After enough repetition, it begins to feel like personality. But what if the identity you’ve practiced isn’t the identity you were created to carry? In this episode, we explore:

How to Adopt a Millionaire Identity Most people allow their current circumstances to tell them who they are. They look at an unfinished project and decide they are inconsistent. They remember an opportunity they were afraid to pursue and conclude they lack courage. They look at their present income and allow a number to become a verdict on their future capacity. Once these conclusions become part of your identity, your mind begins collecting evidence to support them. You notice every moment that confirms the belief and discount the experiences that contradict it. In this episode, Kelli explains why building a million-dollar business requires more than increasing your workload. Moving from $100,000 to $1 million often requires a new relationship with value, leverage, visibility, uncertainty, responsibility, and self-trust. A millionaire identity does not wait for present evidence to grant her permission. She chooses beliefs that allow her to create different evidence. In This Episode, You’ll Discover
