Episode 238 of the Passports, Profits and Pixie Dust Podcast
https://pod.co/the-social-selling-sisterhood/your-two-goals-for-2023
If you’re anything like me, the start of a new year feels exciting… and a little overwhelming. Everywhere you look it’s new year, new you, goal-setting, planning, hustling, and pushing forward as fast as possible.
But what if we slowed down just a bit?
In Episode 238 of the Passports, Profits and Pixie Dust Podcast, I wanted to offer a simpler, more intentional approach to goal setting—one that blends strategy and soul. Because while I love a good plan (you know I’m all about systems and efficiency), it’s just as important to make sure we’re actually heading toward the right destination.
Before we push the gas pedal, we need to know where we’re going.
Welcome to Purpose and Pixie Dust ✨
If you’re new here—welcome! I’m Lindsay Dollinger, dog mama, Disney lover, high school Spanish teacher, and business owner. I’ve built businesses while working full-time, and I’m on a mission to help other women do the same—creating not just the business of their dreams, but the life of their dreams too.
Around here, we believe in breaking glass ceilings with glass slippers and sprinkling pixie dust all along the way.
Why Most Goals Feel So Hard to Reach
So many of us are running—working hard, showing up, doing all the things—without ever clearly defining where we’re going.
It’s like driving around without putting a destination into your GPS.
You might be moving, but you’re not actually getting anywhere.
This time of year is the perfect opportunity to:
-
Reassess
-
Realign
-
Get crystal clear on what you truly want
And today, I want to encourage you to look at your goals in two very specific ways.
The Two Goals You Need for 2023
Instead of choosing between purpose or money, I want you to embrace both.
1. Your Impact (Purpose) Goal 💖
This is all about the difference you want to make.
Ask yourself:
-
How do I want my clients or customers to feel after working with me?
-
What kind of environment do I want to create in my business?
-
How do I want to show up as a leader, mentor, teammate, or coach?
-
What message do I want to share with the world?
For me, this looks like:
-
Creating massive impact inside my programs and membership
-
Speaking on more stages
-
Guesting on podcasts and summits
-
Getting clear on the 2–3 topics I feel called (and equipped) to teach
Your impact goal can extend beyond your business too—into your family, friendships, volunteer work, and community. It’s about how you want to feel and how you want others to feel in your presence.
2. Your Financial Goal 💰
Let’s talk about the one that sometimes feels uncomfortable.
Money.
Here’s the truth: If you’re not focusing on the financial side, you don’t have a business—you have a hobby. And even nonprofits have financial goals, because money fuels the mission.
So let’s stop treating income like a “dirty” topic.
Ask yourself:
-
What level of revenue would truly change my life?
-
What number feels exciting—and a little scary?
-
What would more income allow me to do, give, and experience?
More money doesn’t just support you and your family. It can:
-
Buy back your time
-
Allow you to volunteer more
-
Increase the impact you make in the world
This year, I’m inviting you to dream bigger. Don’t set a low number just so it feels easy to hit. Stretch yourself. Believe in what’s possible.
Purpose and Profit Go Together
This is the heart of the show—and the heart of this message.
Your purpose and your financial goals are not separate.
They are meant to work together.
When you align the impact you want to create with the income you want to earn, everything becomes clearer:
-
Your messaging
-
Your offers
-
Your confidence
-
Your direction
That’s where the magic happens ✨
Your Next Step
Take some time to journal on these two questions:
-
What impact do I want to create in 2023?
-
What financial goal would feel truly amazing to achieve this year?
And if you feel called, I’d love to hear your answers. Send me a DM or share them out loud—there’s something powerful about putting your goals into the world.
