In a recent Success Magazine article Darren Hardy discusses the pitfalls of goal setting – mainly, the activity of JUST setting goals. Goals without an action plan, without metrics or most importantly without an introspective glance at the root cause of poor performance. What may seem obvious to everyone else can often become an unconscious pattern of behavior for you and I. Yes…Hardy’s solution for changing behavior and expecting different results takes WORK and the only way to truly get started is total accountability for our actions as well as the results of those actions. Hardy offers a helpful tool called “The Wheel of Life” to aid in finding balance and gauging success.
