Goalkeepers is a year-long, community-based project where people can actually get goals accomplished.

We all start the year with good intentions, we want to make this year better than the last. But most people fail at accomplishing anything about a month into the journey. Why? Well…

1. People are bad at setting real goals

2. People do it alone

What does Goalkeepers look like?

1. Commit to a year of going after goals.

2. Create quarterly goals.

3. Attend weekly check-in calls with your team.

4. Make it happen!

Team Check-ins

Once you join Goalkeepers, you will be put onto a team (built around a consistent timeslot). With this team, you will have weekly check-ins to discuss how your goals are going, get help with solving any problems, and celebrate when things go well. These calls are maximum 30 minute calls where it’s mostly to give updates. This to me is the secret sauce of this whole thing because it requires a little bit of sacrifice on your end but also puts you around people who are working as hard as you on hitting goals. Sometimes the best encouragement to getting your goals done is to encourage someone else to do the same.

Who Can Join?

Goalkeepers right now is just built for my friends. I only have six slots open to build two teams of three with. Part of this is to keep teams lean and make sure that I can manage them well and to make sure that weekly calls don’t go on for too long.

I also have two slots open for individuals to meet with me. This is for people who want to go after a goal with a person but the goals may be more private or too sensitive to share in a larger group.

2025 Schedule

Team One
Weekly check-ins happen on Fridays at 7:30am PT.

Team Two
Weekly check-ins happen on Mondays at 7:30pm PT.

Goalkeepers is a way to take a year and make things happen in a fun, encouraging, accountable environment. There is more success in accomplishing goals when you keep them in front of you and do them with people. This is your way to start your journey.

Why do it with people?

Accountability

It can be scary to let people into your goals, but with people you can feel more motivated to get things done. A little fire under your butt might be exactly what you need to go from an idea to a reality.

Encouragement

Part of being good at accomplishing goals is celebration. Goalkeepers is meant to be an encouraging and uplifting space where we celebrate wins as much as possible.

What makes a good goal?

  • They have quantifiable traits to them. They are able to be completed. You can actually make a plan to get them done.

    • Bad goal example: I want to be a better runner (what is “better”? How do you quantify that? How do you complete that?)

    • Good Goal Example: I want to run one 5k every week for 12 weeks.

  • When goals are too lofty or impossible, you might never start it. You also might get discouraged when you can’t make much progress towards them. When goals are doable, you can cross finish lines and feel accomplished along the way, keeping you motivated and encouraged. It’s about eating the elephant one bite at a time instead of eating the whole thing at once.

    • Bad goal example: I want to be a millionaire (hard to break down into steps, to big of a challenge, could take many years to accomplish)

    • Good goal example: I want to invest $500 every month for a year.

  • A little bit of resistance is actually a good thing. Without it, goals are too easy and can also become unmotivating. A challenge keeps the fire in us burning and makes crossing the finish lines feel important. Without a challenge we don’t grow, and a goal that isn’t challenging probably isn’t important.

  • This is part of having specific goals and why we will work in quarterly chunks for Goalkeepers. Without an end, goals become too ambiguous and basically impossible to accomplish. With starts and ends you can make plans and timelines for getting goals done. Plus the ability to finish goals or reassess goals is really important in the long run.

FAQ

  • Goalkeepers is a year long commitment broken into quarters to help navigate it. Teams start on January 10, 2025 and end on December 12, 2025 (to manage Holidays easily)

  • Yes, as this is a community-based project. If your goal is to do this without people, this isn’t for you.

    • Team One’s weekly check-ins happen on Fridays at 7:30am PT.

    • Team Two’s weekly check-ins happen on Mondays at 7:30pm PT.

  • We will meet on Google Meets, with a weekly meeting sent to your calendar.

  • Life happens! It’s totally cool to miss a call (we just don’t want it to be a habit). I just ask to give a text update when that happens.

  • Every quarter, you may only do 1-2 goals at a time. Having too many goals generally leads to failure. The goals need to fit these parameters:

    • 1 Main (Active) Goal: this is the primary goal you are trying to achieve in three months and usually requires active participation to accomplish it.

    • OPTIONAL 2nd (Inactive) Goal: This goal can usually be accomplished in 1-3 activities or at least isn’t done on a weekly/daily basis. Examples of this are “Deposit $100 into my savings every month for three months” or “Sign up for a half-marathon by April 1, 2025”

    • Part of having a quarterly system is to give opportunities to change or edit goals. At the quarter mark you may want to move the needle a bit (ie “walk 5,000 steps a day” to “walk 7,000 steps a day”) or completely re-assess a goal if it isn’t working.

    • You may also easily accomplish a goal within a quarter, so the next quarter is a great opportunity to start a whole new goal, it all depends on the scale of goals you are working on.

    • Sometimes goals may be accomplished or need ditching really early on in a quarter, in which case you can work with your team to set a new goal for the rest of the quarter.

  • Nope! If you want to just be consistent for a whole year, you can develop goals that simply just restart every quarter. Goals still need to be measured in quarters (even if your overall goal is to do a year’s worth of the same goal).

  • There’s no expectation for you to help others on your team accomplish their goals. The only expectation is to be present at check-ins and be supportive at check-ins.

    If you want to help others and they would appreciate the help, y’all are more than welcome to figure that out on your own.

    • My role is basically play “coach” for the teams: facilitating weekly calls, helping people to make good goals, and mentoring to my best ability. I’m not an expert at goals, but I have learned a lot about them over the years, so I’ll bring what I can!

    • I also will be going after goals myself! The reason I wanted to start this is that I wanted friends to go after goals with for myself.

  • Sometimes its not easy to go after a goal with strangers, especially when they are around a more private topic. I wanted to give the option of this where I am your accountability partner for a year. The team version of Goalkeepers is the center of this project though. If you are interested in this, it is something I am vetting, so please message me about it!
