Making your goals public might feel intimidating, but the /empower goal-setting frame is designed to transform that fear into motivation. It's a simple, effective way to keep track of what you want to achieve—and even better, it brings a whole community behind you for support.

Why Share Your Goals?

Publicly sharing your goals taps into something powerful: accountability. When you put your goals out there for others to see, you’re not just committing to yourself anymore—there’s an extra layer of responsibility. Others are watching your progress, rooting for you, and that can push you to keep going even on tough days. It’s no longer just your personal journey; it becomes something bigger, something shared.

Then there's the support aspect. Sometimes, when you're deep in the process of working toward something important, all you need is a little encouragement. The /empower frame allows fellow community members to offer that support in a simple, meaningful way. A quick click of the 'support' button by someone can give you that extra boost, reminding you that you're not alone in this journey.

Motivation is another key reason to share your goals. Dr. Gail Matthews’ study at the Dominican University of California found that participants who wrote down and shared their goals with friends were 33% more likely to achieve them. Knowing that people are following your progress can light a fire under you, especially when you feel like you're slowing down. It adds a level of urgency and excitement, because your goal is out there to be seen and celebrated by others.

How It Works

To get started, the first thing you need to do is set your goal. Opening the /empower frame, you'll be prompted to write down exactly what you want to achieve. Whether it's running five miles every morning or completing a new project, make it specific and clear. Once you've written it out, post it, and just like that, your goal is out in the world—visible to the community.

Every day, the /empower channel sends a reminder cast to help keep your goal top of mind. This cast also includes a frame of your current goal, making it easy for you to share updates or progress with the community. These reminders help ensure that you're consistently checking in with your goals and making adjustments as needed.

And then there’s the support. When someone encourages you, it’s not just a passive reaction—they’re actively engaging with your journey. Every encouragement gets tallied up, adding to the collective cheer that surrounds your goal. That support can be a powerful motivator, helping you push through those moments of doubt.

Final Thoughts

The /empower goal-setting frame takes goal setting out of isolation and turns it into a shared experience. It’s not just about you silently working on something—it's about having a network of people supporting you, encouraging you, and celebrating with you! You’re inviting others to join you in the process when making your goals public thereby making the journey a bit easier.
