-His ’10 Basic Goal Setting Strategies You Can Implement Tomorrow’ are:\
1 – Define your goals/innate ownership
2 – Make sure the goal is realistic/attainable and that you have confidence there is a pathway to reach it
3 – Do not set timelines for the end result
4 – Think of a process to get there; map this out with benchmarks and sub-goals
5 – Put the end goal on the back burner
6 – Focus on the process / pathway and your effort / form habits within the process
7 – Debrief / check in with yourself periodically during the process
8 – Make adjustments/improvements to the process if necessary
9 – Accept the outcome if there is one
10 – Gauge “success” based on adherence to the plan/process, not on the “final result” if there one
