How to reach your full potential with purpose: Goal Getters with Michelle Cederberg

Today, success is defined by a ‘high-energy, clear-vision, high-performance mindset’ to make it happen.

But what inspires that mindset?

Purpose.

When you do something with purpose, it means you’ve taken the time to consider what matters to you and why you want to achieve it.

And aligning your goals with purpose? That gives you a deeper sense of meaning and fulfillment as you work towards them.

In this episode of Goal Getters, Steve Hardy, CMO at Prophix, sits down with Michelle Cederberg, a productivity expert who knows about goals and the impact that consistent progress makes in shifting your everyday into extraordinary.

Let’s look at some of the key takeaways from their conversation. Interested in hearing more? Check out the full conversation here.

Purpose evolves as you evolve

Finding purpose starts with examining all the possibilities to realize what inspires us. If something isn’t resonating, that’s your sign to push yourself to see what lights that spark. Discovering your purpose isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach either. Pay attention to what lights you up and chase after that.

What does it mean to set goals with purpose

Meaningful goals are aligned with your passions, values, and long-term vision. It’s important to be excited about what you spend time and energy on. Setting goals with purpose means you step back and think about how it will change and improve what you do every day.

How do you decide which goals to focus on?

Most of us set goals with the best of intentions to drive towards them. But life gets in the way. Setting goals is about giving yourself permission to decide what you say yes and say no to.

When someone asks us for time, ask yourself a simple question: Will this help me push my personal and professional goals forward? This gives you the ability to say yes or no with thought. And if it’s something you’re really excited about or helps you grow, say yes – even if it won’t drive your goals forward. It’s still a learning experience.
