The Real Reason Your Goals Never Stick

from The Playbook · host David Meltzer, Entrepreneur.com

In today’s episode, I break down what a goal actually is and why it should function as a direction, not an outcome. I share how losing everything forced me to rethink success through purpose, behavior, and daily discipline rather than attachment to results. We talk about aligning goals with time, setting non-negotiable habits, finding the right people to learn from, and staying consistent instead of chasing intensity. I also explain how to measure progress without emotional volatility, handle setbacks without stacking losses, and build momentum through small wins that compound. This conversation reframes goal setting as a practical, repeatable system rooted in awareness, accountability, and intention.
