Yay for Business with Courtney Chaal

Time Puzzle Pt 3 - The 4 big obstacles (and how to overcome them!)

Episode Summary

In this episode, I’m talking about what to do when your plans don’t go according to plan—when you drop the ball, fall behind on your goals, or just feel completely off track. Instead of spiraling into panic mode, I’ll show you how to adjust, adapt, and keep moving forward without losing momentum. If you’ve been following my Time Puzzle series, this is Part 3—where we go beyond planning and talk about what happens when life lives. I’ll break down the most common obstacles that throw us off track (spoiler: it’s not just external things like sick kids and power outages) and give you practical ways to actually stay on top of your goals.

Episode Notes

You made the plan. You blocked the time. You swore this quarter was going to be different. And then... life happened.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

• Why plans must be flexible to actually work.
• The four biggest obstacles that throw us off track (and how to handle each one).
• How to adjust your strategy without falling into the shiny new idea trap.
• The mindset shifts that will keep you from self-sabotaging when things get hard.
• A real-time example of how I adjusted my own Q1 strategy based on actual data.

This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly behind—because I’m showing you how to break that cycle once and for all.

✨📆 Mark your calendar! I'm hosting a free Quarter 2 Planning Workshop on March 19!
During this workshop, we will:

• Go through the quarterly goal setting process together from picking the “right” goal to reverse engineering everything you need to do to make that happen
• Determine the best and most efficient path to achieving your goal
• Break down your milestones for the quarter and fill out your quarterly goal tracker

This workshop is based on the exact process I use with my Courtney for a Quarter clients and it’s totally free!
