JON ACUFF
About this episode

In this episode of All It Takes is a Goal, I’m excited to share the first two words of my four-word formula for achieving any goal: "Results" and "Actions." I’ll explain why 92% of New Year's resolutions fail and how you can avoid becoming part of that statistic. I’ll show you how to define clear results and take practical actions to reach your objectives, using my book-writing process as an example. Plus, I’ll introduce you to the Finish Journal, a new tool I created with Leuchtturm1917 to help you complete your goals. Tune in and let’s start transforming your goals into accomplishments!
