002 - The Coach Up: How to Set Better Goals
FAREWELL
The Power of Stretch Goals with Emergency Reserves

Research shows that stretch goals lead to better results than easy goals, but they also pose a risk of the 'what the hell effect' when a misstep occurs. By setting stretch goals with a limited number of emergency reserves, individuals can maintain motivation and performance even in the face of setbacks.

It's about setting tough goals while allowing a little flexibility for unforeseen circumstances, which ultimately enhances performance and outcomes.
