THE ONE QUESTION THAT HELPED ME RESET MY BUSINESS GOALS (AFTER A TOTAL BREAKDOWN)

Let’s just say it: April was a trainwreck.

The kind of month where everything feels off. Where you question your business direction, your goals, and maybe even your sanity.

I recorded a podcast episode during that time… and then deleted it. Not because it wasn’t polished… but because it wasn’t me.

Here’s what I realized: I’d been listening to all the voices except my own.

I was following strategies that looked good on someone else but didn’t feel right for me.

And like many entrepreneurs, I hit that moment where I thought, “Do I even want to do this anymore?”

Spoiler alert: I do. I love what I do. I just wasn’t doing it my way.

Instead of walking away, I asked one powerful question… and it shifted everything.

“If I could only focus on 3 priorities this month to move the needle in my business and generate more revenue, what would they be — and what does success actually look like for each one?”

I asked it to ChatGPT (aka “Chad,” my AI assistant). And what I got back wasn’t just a list. 

It was clarity.

Why This Monthly Goal Setting Prompt Works

When you’re overwhelmed or unaligned, it’s easy to default to busywork. You chase someone else’s strategy. You try to do all the things. And none of it moves the needle.

But this one prompt helped me get crystal clear on:

• My top 3 revenue-generating priorities

• What success actually looks like for each

• The real action steps that matter (not the fluff)

It was simple. It was focused. And it worked.

Here’s what I know: 

Vague goals lead to vague results. And you don’t need a longer to-do list… you need clarity.
