Episode Description

In this episode, Alay discusses:
- How goals work.
- Why goals often fail.
- Why goal failure is not bad.
- Outcome-based versus activity-based goals.
Key Takeaways:
- Set fewer goals but know why that goal is important to you and know what it will take to achieve it.
- Without a plan for change, a goal is just a wish.
- Look at what habits you have now. There are habits you’re doing right now that are contributing to your success, and ones that are limiting your success.
