We’re all told about the importance of setting goals for the future.
I agree with this and often say you can’t hit a target you can’t see.
But setting the big goal is where most people stop and then the reason they fail.
You see, these sorts of goals don’t make you successful, because goals don’t achieve themselves.
What you need is a process goal (or perhaps a few).
Failing at process goals is great early feedback. It’s a checkpoint and an opportunity to refine.
Remember it’s the things you’ll do that make the goal happen.
