1464 – What Makes You Happy with Fruition Initiative’s Sarah Duran
In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks to the Founder of Frution Initiatives, Sarah Duran.
Sarah is a business coach who specializes in helping entrepreneurs set better goals and operationalize them to achieve them. She works with entrepreneurs to identify their goals and then allows them to create a plan for achieving them. This includes setting specific, measurable, and achievable targets and identifying the steps needed to reach those targets. She also helps entrepreneurs create systems and processes to track their progress and make necessary adjustments. Her goal is to empower entrepreneurs to take control of their businesses and achieve their desired success.
Sarah believes that setting short-cycle goals is more effective than setting long-term goals. This is because life is unpredictable, and what you want today may be different from what you want tomorrow. Additionally, you may change as a person over time, and your goals may also vary. Setting short-cycle goals allows you to assess your progress and make adjustments as needed regularly.
Sarah encourages entrepreneurs to set short-cycle goals to stay on track, stay motivated, and succeed in their businesses. With a flexible approach, you can be better equipped to adapt to any changes that come your way and reach your goals more efficiently and effectively.
