Focus on Systems Over Goals

The key insight is the importance of focusing on systems over goals in achieving success. Setting a goal is simple, but building a collection of habits and behaviors that contribute to that goal is the real challenge. The daily habits that make up a system are what ultimately determine success. The gap between a desired outcome and daily habits will always be filled by the daily habits. Current results are a reflection of the habits and systems in place, indicating the necessity of aligning habits with desired outcomes.
