What small changes are you open to make for a sustainable start to 2024? Today, for our first episode of 2024, we start with a recap of some of the most impactful interviews from last year. We will go through some of the things you can expect in the new chapter of the pod that starts today, and I will share four tips you can apply to ensure a sustainable start to 2024. The start of a new year feels like a massive burden; there is a collective, implicit idea that it is now or never that you'll build the foundation to achieve your goals. Some of that might be true, but not all of it. Instead of overwhelming yourself trying to become a whole different person in a week, you can start with minor changes, building on them, and slowly but surely, you'll become the person you need to be to get you and your social enterprise to the next level. Tune in and listen to the forty-eighth episode of Avant-garde Entrepreneur. Learn more about what to expect from the pod this year and how to set yourself up for a sustainable start to 2024.

When is the best time to set your goals for the year? Today, in our last episode of 2023, I revisit the most downloaded episode in the podcast's history, which touches on the #1 topic discussed in almost every end-of-the-year conversation: setting goals for the following year. You'll hear about my approach to goal-setting, top tips to set your goals, and the things about goal-setting I wish I'd known sooner. As a change-maker and social entrepreneur, the scope of your goals goes beyond what a single human can fix, so it is natural (and expected) to come up short or need several attempts before accomplishing them. Treat goal-setting as an art, allow yourself to suck at it in the beginning, fail guilt-free as many times as necessary, and keep trying until you get it right. Tune in and listen to the forty-seventh episode of Avant-garde Entrepreneur. You'll hear about the three goal-setting scenarios I discovered through years of practicing them, my main focus when I set my goals, and how to develop a planning process.
