The Secret to Setting The Right Goals

Since we're in the middle of the year and vacations will end soon, it's time for a Goal-Setting refresher to be ready to go when you are done playing.

Here's how you can set and accomplish any goal:

1) State precisely WHAT you want.

2) State WHY you want it.

3) Imagine how you will feel when you reach your goal.

4) Plan the initial steps you will take.

5) Launch into massive imperfect action.

6) Measure your progress.

7) Be flexible in your approach. 

8) Celebrate and repeat.

Success comes to people who set goals. Be one of those people.
