Normally, I’m a “systems over goals” kind of guy.
Nevertheless, sometimes having a goal kicks ass.
It cuts through everything with questions like:
- Will reading this get me closer?
- Will doing this get me closer?
- What’s one thing I can do to get closer?
I’m not saying “goals over systems”.
I’m still a systems guy. I’ll system my way all the way up and over the goal.
Just sometimes, we need a sharp knife to cut away the cruft and a crisp goal can be that knife.
- Focus
- Direction
- Measured Performance
- Time management
- Motivation
All that good stuff.
