Listen "356. Fostering a Relationship With Your Goals"
Episode Synopsis
One of the most common mistakes people make when they set a goal is that they think about it once, and then they forget about it until it’s time to check if they’ve hit it or not.
But if you’re not checking in with yourself and asking how you’re doing along the way, you’re never going to reach it—and if you are, you’re probably setting your sights too low.
We’re speaking with Jay Papasan, co-author of The ONE Thing, about some of the most common pitfalls and challenges people experience when they’re trying to implement The ONE Thing into their lives.
