2 Irrefutable Ingredients To Create Lasting Change (Goals Aren’t One Of Them)

You are the physical and mental representation of your daily habits.

In my twenties, I wasn’t very disciplined. I worked hard and hustled my face off, but my progress was fleeting. In some quarters, I’d hit my goals; in others, I’d miss it as if I were aiming for the moon and ended up at the sun.

The outcomes I pursued meant little beyond the constant achievement or failure cycles.

I only thought of goals as short-term milestones to a long-term vision. And they are, but my goals produced little value on their own. If any. I would aimlessly set goals as if achieving a desired outcome was the point. I never understood why, even though I worked so hard, I could never reach my $100,000,000 business goal, among others.

One culprit is I was too busy working in the business and not on it, but another big reason is I realized that the best “goals” continue to produce results even after they’re achieved.

Goals are useless without systems.
