Elevate Your Life: The Importance of Intentional Goal Setting
with Lindsay Noll, Noll Team Interiors
Brad Noll welcomes back his wife and business partner, Lindsay Noll of Noll Team Interiors, as the show's first repeat guest. The couple walks through the December to Remember planning day they use to set goals together, from choosing a word of the year, elevate for 2025, to reviewing highlights, writing bucket lists, talking openly about money, setting business goals, and filling the calendar.
Key Takeaways
- One word can focus a whole year. Brad and Lindsay have chosen a word of the year for about 12 years. In 2024 it was connect, and it shaped their time with family, the team, and clients.
- Elevate by humbling yourself first. Their 2025 word is elevate, paired with a verse about humility. Brad believes the number of people you serve determines how big your goals can be.
- Start with gratitude. Scrolling the camera roll month by month surfaces the year's highlights and shows what you want more of next year.
- Choose both-and over either-or. When goals conflict, talk through the why behind each one. You may do both, just not in the same year or the order you expected.
- Talk about money together. Lindsay says knowing where they stand gives her the security to get excited about the future. Deciding together keeps them on the same page.
- Put the big rocks on the calendar. Schedule priorities before the year fills up, stay flexible when plans change, and set the next planning date before you leave.
