264. 97% Get Goal Setting Wrong. Here’s How 5 Experts Do it

In this episode, I explore the nuances of goal setting and achievement by sharing insights from five experts. Starting with Brian Tracy's transformative experience of writing daily goals, the video then showcases James Clear's argument that goals alone aren't enough; instead, habits, systems, and processes are crucial. Joe Pulizzi shares his system that helped him achieve a remarkable business milestone, while Seth Godin discusses how goals act as a compass in changing environments. Lastly, Victoria Labalme explains how some successful endeavours start with just a 'wisp and a glimmer.' Achieving success involves more than setting goals; it requires continuous adaptation and the creation of effective habits and systems. Viewers are encouraged to reflect on their own goals and adapt their strategies for 2025 and beyond.
