We’ve all heard them: 10,000 steps a day. £10K months in business. The magic numbers you “must” hit if you want to be successful. But what if these targets are nothing more than marketing myths — and chasing them is actually holding you back?
In this episode, I’m breaking down the surprising truth behind the 10,000-step rule (spoiler: it was invented for a 1960s Japanese marketing campaign, not science) and showing how the same thinking applies to business. You’ll learn why setting arbitrary goals can set you up for failure, and how to create targets that actually work for you — whether that’s 1,500, 7,000, or yes, even 10,000 steps… or pounds.
I share my own experience of aiming too high too soon, why I ditched unrealistic goals in favour of something sustainable, and how that shift completely changed my mindset, results, and happiness. You’ll walk away knowing how to measure success on your terms, without the pressure to constantly “do more” just because the internet says so.
✨ You get to choose your goals — and the most powerful ones are the ones that feel achievable, energising, and right for you.
