Great WAYPOINT Goals:
5 Ways to Change a Habit
The best laid plans—and WAYPOINT goals—are no good if we don’t put new behaviors into play. We need to override old habits to change a habit. The problem is that although we think we’re in charge, so much of what we do is directed by our subconscious beliefs. A Duke University study says that at […]

Stretch Goals: Bullet Train Thinking
Sometimes SMART goals aren’t enough. Most of the time organizations innovate and grow because of stretch goals.

Set a Big, Hairy Audacious Goal
Setting a Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) can be exciting and energizing. Until, of course, it turns into hard work and sacrifice. “Goals are one of the most misused and abused concepts in business and life today. Quite often, they’re set but not met….

5 Goal Setting Strategies for Success
I’m following up on the great strategies Heidi Grant Halvorson writes about in her book Nine Things Successful People Do Differently.
