THE GOLD FROM THIS EPISODE

“Planning is deciding in advance that you’re going to get what you want.”

“Achieving your goals is a process of deciding and re-deciding.”

“The second I got quiet, I got all the guidance I needed.”

“Once we get clear on what we really want, there's nothing for the lions (the fear) to grasp onto, because we're stronger.”

Mia Moran

Founder of Plan Simple

“Part of my belief system is that I got here because of everything that happened…which has to fold in all the disasters.”

Mia Moran

Founder of Plan Simple

“The reason that we make a plan is not so that we can stick to it…a year plan should not be fulfilled because by the time we've done two months, we've changed, we've morphed, we've become somebody different, and we want something different. Our vision can grow. If we change our minds, we’re not failing. We just tried something, and we got a lot smarter. And now we're pivoting, or recommitting, or deciding something different.”

  • Struggling to find a clear path to where you want to go and what you want to do? Mia Moran, productivity coach, author, and creator of the FLOW planning method, gives us the gold on how to reduce overwhelm to achieve our goals. 

  • She recounts her "coffee cup moment"—when she faced up to exhaustion and overload and rethought her career and lifestyle. Making changes to turn her health around, she walked away from the successful graphic design firm she’d built and followed her true passion.

  • We discuss the trade-offs of saying “yes” and “no” and the importance of letting go of what doesn’t serve you. Spending time on self care nurtures relationships and expands your capacity to be productive and give to others.

  • In a world of piecemeal strategies, Mia gives you the system to go after your next “It Has To Be Me.”
