Write Down Goals to Make Them Happen: Adam Jelic on Building MiGOALS | #585
Episode 585
Published 7 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Adam Jelic didn’t set out to build a cult stationery brand. He was just trying to get his own head straight. Anxiety, big ideas, too many thoughts, not enough direction. So he did what a lot of founders eventually do. He built the tool he wished already existed. Fifteen years later, MiGOALS is stocked everywhere from Officeworks to Barnes & Noble, used by Canva, Lululemon and Apple teams, and quietly helping thousands of people untangle their thinking.
Today, we're discussing:
- How MiGOALS grew from a personal coping tool into a global stationery and wellness brand
- Why writing goals down improves focus, belief and momentum
- The role of anxiety, self-awareness and clarity in entrepreneurship
- Staying disciplined in a world full of distractions and opportunities
- Expanding into the US market using Amazon as a growth lever
- Balancing analogue products with digital tools and AI
- Community, accountability and why progress equals happiness
- Practical advice for setting meaningful goals in 2026 and beyond
