307: Is the Person You Are Being Helping You Achieve Your Goals?

If you want to achieve a goal, you cannot stay the same person you are now; you have to evolve. So rather than reaching for your goals by taking the actions that you think will get you to the goal, Betsy suggests asking yourself, “Who would I be if I had that goal?” Because if you can get clear on your identity and reach for your goals by being that person, everything else will fall into place.  * Connect with Betsy on IG @betsypake Welcome to the Art of Living big podcast.

Today I’m recording from my car. I’m recording from my car today. I am in Jekyll Island every year. My husband has a meeting here. So every year all of the solicitor’s offices all over Georgia come to Jekyll Island for like four or five days of continuing ed. So. So I came with him. And it has been quite the adventure. I want to give you the rundown on what’s gone on just since I’ve been here, and then I have a little story for you that I hope might kind of shift the way that you’re thinking and the way that you’re going towards some things that you want. So alright, so we came down. If you’re not familiar, Jekyll Island is off the coast of Georgia. And so since I live in Atlanta, it was like maybe four, maybe four and a half hours to get down here. So we are staying in St. Simons Island, which is another little island. There’s just more there. St. Simons Island is a little island. It’s superduper cute. There’s no like big hotels or high rises or anything. It’s like this little town. Do you know that show? Her of Dixie did you guys did you ever watch that show art of Dixie? Okay, so Heart of Dixie. I never saw it when it was like on TV, but I saw it when it was on Netflix. And I was obsessed with that show. And the show it takes place in this little place called BLUEBELL, which is really, I think supposed to be like Fairhope, Alabama, anyway, it it could just as easily be St. Simons like it’s this little tiny town. There’s no big buildings, no big anything. It’s all little mom and pop hotels, like Mom and Pop ins. You know what I mean? Mom and Pop restaurants like no chain stores like nothing. And it’s small, you know, we were driving around this little island. And I was talking to my husband about how big it was. And I was like, Well, how many people live here, I grew up in Vermont in a little tiny town. And I was like, it’s got to be about the same size as the little town in Vermont that I grew up in. And to me that feels significant because it’s like by the beach. And typically when you go to the beach, it’s like all high rises and like loads of people and overrun. But I think because this is an island, and it’s kind of isolated, you know, it creates a little bit of a different environment. I think all the houses there are probably pretty expensive. It feels kind of high end, a lot of the cars are high end, you know, as you drive around. So it’s been a little bit of a different experience and, and really fun to get to be here. Then every day my husband drives over the bridge to go to Jekyll Island where there isn’t a lot of like restaurants and things like that. So we didn’t stay over here. But there’s a big convention center. And I think some people rent Airbnb is maybe over here. So I came over here today, because I wanted some of that good convention center Wi Fi, because it has been really hard to get Wi Fi on the island.
