Ghosts of Goals Gone By

The other day, I came across a social media post that said, “The scariest place to be is in the same place as last year.” Talk about spooky! It struck a chord with me and sparked some thoughts about old goals that have been hanging around like ghosts 👻—goals we haven’t quite let go of but no longer serve us.

You’re not alone if you’ve experienced this. I’ve coached many agents through their own “goal ghosts” over the years, and I’ve dealt with a few of my own. The problem with these lingering goals is that they tend to take up valuable space in our minds, space we could use to focus on what truly matters now.

Think of it like “Marie Kondo” for your mind—if it’s no longer sparking joy (or progress), it’s time to let it go.

Clearing Out Your Goal Ghosts

I often guide my clients to pause and reflect on old ambitions: Are these goals still aligned with who you are today, or are they just ghosts from the past? Ritualizing the release of these outdated goals creates room for new inspiration, opportunities, and aligned action to come in.

I share a personal story in my latest video about a goal I recently let go of, and how freeing it was to finally release it. In the video, I also share a simple exercise you can do to clear out your own goal ghosts. 🕸️

Let’s make space for the goals that truly matter now.
