There’s a Goal for That… There’s no shortage of goals these days. Every year people try to grow their company, advance their careers, lose weight, and more. There’s goal-setting software, worksheets, and even processes like SMART Goals. So why do most goals fall short? Why do people and organizations keep setting the same failed goals year after year? Just setting a goal isn’t enough, and gimmicks don’t work. What are required to achieve extraordinary results are goals that “light up” your brain. Using the latest science, this book will show you how to activate your brain with HARD goals — targets that are Heartfelt, Animated, Required and Difficult. You’ll learn to visualize your goal, build a strong emotional connection to it, make it difficult enough to awaken peak performance, and imbue it with such a sense of urgency that you have no other choice but to start acting on it right here, right now.
