I recently had a coaching session with a client where I asked her to set ambitious goals for the year 2021. We’ve been working on one work-related goal through coaching and she’s made great progress on that goal, but I wanted her to be outside her comfort zone a little bit and set additional goals for the upcoming year.

My client was a little hesitant to set more goals, as she wondered what would happen if she didn’t reach them. This is a completely normal fear/feeling to have, and I told her that not reaching an ambitious goal has definitely crossed my mind before, too.

Watch this 2-minute video to learn what I told my client and what you should do if you ever have this limiting belief about yourself and you're worrying about possibly not reaching an ambitious goal.
