190: Beyond the Finish Line: What Happens After You Achieve Your Goal?
In this week’s episode, I’m talking about what happens after you achieve significant business milestones, such as reaching a seven figure revenue goal. There are many emotional and psychological aspects of success, and often our minds like to try playing tricks on us when we’ve finally achieved something we’ve been working towards. I share more about the importance of radical self-improvement and self-acceptance, encouraging you to recognise your value and celebrate your achievements without seeking external validation. Quotes: “Alongside actually hitting the goal, the thing I became aware of right away was this feeling not of achievement, but of numbness. Like, I don’t feel the way I thought I would.” “If it’s been a big struggle, there is the exhaustion of the journey, but also the refusal to admit that this leg of the journey is over and it’s time to rest, it’s time to refocus on something new.” “These milestone moments are often a little bit mixed. There’s the thrill of achievement. The satisfaction of thinking, wow that’s exactly what I set out to do and I’ve actually done it. Yay for me! And yet, it can feel like an anticlimax because it’s not like a football team winning the world cup in a stadium full of fans. These victories are often deeply personal.” Useful Links Get in touch with Jessica to discuss your consulting business The High-Ticket Consultant: Securing Your First $100K of Consulting Revenue - Online Course Leave a rating and review for the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast Connect with Jessica on LinkedIn
