If you want to turn your dream life into your real life it’s time to stop making new year's resolutions and instead crush your goals using a strategic method: set your dream life vision, create holistic goals and build yourself an accountability circle.

At its most basic, holistic goal setting is creating goals in the four key areas of life (personal, professional, health and financial) so that you can be more intentional about going after your dream life. Having holistic goals prompts you to focus on how each of the key areas of life are connected.
