How to Achieve Your Goals Through Design Thinking with Lexi Merritt, Founder of The Pretty Decent Internet Café [Ep. 8]
Here’s what you can expect from this episode:
Today’s guest literally changed my life. I know that sounds dramatic, but seriously. From the way that I think about my dreams for the future to the minutiae of every day tasks, Lexi Merritt’s resources have helped me get out of inertia that has held me back for years. Lexi is a writer, teacher and the founder of the Pretty Decent Internet Café where she creates tools and resources for creative entrepreneurs.
Lexi Merritt brings a sense of community to the online space with such a spirit of generosity, I’m constantly astounded by her. If it weren’t for her signature Big Paper Planning Day, I wouldn’t have a podcast right now. She has given me concrete tools to move towards big goals like that. And these tools go way beyond the traditional advice you’ll see pop up on Google. “Create SMART goals” is one of the first things Google will tell you to do. Lexi’s approach is markedly different. I’m so excited for you to hear a little bit of the behind the scenes into Lexi’s world!
From forming entire offers based around a word or phrase that’s bouncing around in her head, to gamifying business through Notion templates - we’re covering it all. And you don’t need to be a business owner to benefit from Lexi’s work. Her philosophies are all about self-advocating systems. And as a fairly new business owner, I really appreciate the network of people Lexi has gathered in her world on the internet. Because this stuff can be so lonely. Who do you go to when you reach a stalemate? Well, with “The Study,” you can feel like you’re gathered around a warmly lit table in the library with all of your business besties.
