#8: Balancing Goals and Dreams: How to Stay Grounded While Reaching for the Stars

This episode blends the practical, goal-oriented mindset with the aspirational dreaming that can fuel your side hustle journey. I'm a big believer that everyone needs to set goals in life. Otherwise, how do you know where you’re headed? I think it’s especially critical at midlife & beyond, because having goals you are working towards can keep you from feeling stuck. When you get focused on achieving a goal, you make intentional decisions and your days feel more purposeful.

But dreams are essential too! I think of them as a series of images, thoughts, desires, or emotions that pass through my mind. My dreams are something I’d love to achieve someday - but they are aspirational rather than tangible. Dreams can light you up. They can get you excited for the future, or place you in far off lands or exciting circumstances.
