Summary
This week Art Juice reached a milestone - 3 million downloads! This somewhat arbitrary number got us thinking about the whole topic of achievement - about the goals we set and the things we choose to measure. When are goals and numbers a useful way to stay on track and when can they pull us off course? And how do our goals and measurements change over time? Our conversation touches on the various goals we have set over the years and the things we have measured including art sales, social media, Youtube, Pinterest, newsletters, and studio time. We also discuss how our attitude to achievement is changing as our careers develop and what we now consider to be success. We hope this chat inspires you to consider your own direction and maybe to have a think (or rethink) about how you can measure your progress.

| 0:45.0 | Wee. |
| 0:46.0 | And I said to Louise, yeah, let's do a podcast on hitting totally pointless milestones. |
| 0:51.6 | Milestones in that case that we could not have, like when we started this podcast we didn't say how many downloads we want to get to or what we think it should be. We didn't have a clue. |
| 1:05.6 | It was, I didn't actually have a clue what a successful podcast is and what we should be aiming for. |
| 1:12.1 | So this is something where it is totally pointless because we set off with no idea. |
| 1:17.0 | Yeah, absolutely no idea. And do you remember right at the beginning there was a blip, there was a kind of error blip so in the system that we use for it |
| 1:26.8 | we were kind of togging along I don't know what we were getting there maybe 400 a week or something like that |
| 1:32.1 | yeah so if it went from 400 to 4,000 maybe 400 a week or something like that. |
| 1:32.6 | Yeah. |
| 1:33.3 | So if it went from 400 to 430, we were super excited. |
| 1:36.9 | And this feels really relevant for me |
