Dear Friend,
Recently I was talking to a friend about the evergreen topic - goal setting and how to achieve the goals you set consistently.
He was telling me about all the goals he had in his twenties, and now approaching 50, he felt the pain of regret at how little he has achieved.
“Every year I set goals but I never achieve them. I’ve got hundreds of goals but I have accomplished so few. Why do I keep failing? I'm smart. I've worked with a-list companies, I've done a ton of self-help courses. I just can't crack this."
With 92% of people who set goals failing to achieve them, he's not the exception. Failing to achieve goal is the NORM.
But why do we fail and how can we flip this pattern on its head?
That's the focus of today's free video:
