Episode notes
Goals Must Specify Controllable Actions
- Vague wishes like "I want to make more money" are not goals and won't produce results.
- Real goals specify measurable inputs you control daily or weekly.
Limit Major Goals To One Per Quarter
- Focus on one major goal per quarter instead of overhauling everything at once.
- Use supporting habits for everything else so momentum compounds through consistency.
Structure Beats Motivation Every Time
- Motivation is unreliable; structure and systems are what keep you on course.
- Build a life where it's harder to fail than to succeed by creating consistent routines.
