ABC Your Goals

“For any arena of life, you can create an A Goal, B Goal, and C Goal. On days when you feel great, you hit your A Goal. On days when you feel ok (most days!), you hit your B Goal. On days when you feel bad, you hit your C Goal.” -Sahil Bloom

“A goal is a dream with a deadline.” -Napoleon Hill

“Imperfect action is better than perfect inaction.” -Harry S. Truman

For any goal you want to accomplish, first turn it into a project.

Next, think of all the action steps, micro and macro, it will take until completion.

Third, for all these action steps, ask yourself what an A, B and C would look like. “A” being you knocked it out of the park. “C” being you completed said task, but know you could’ve done better, especially if you had more time. But you still feel good about your effort. You got it done. You can live with a “C” and it’s way better than doing nothing at all. “B” is somewhere in between.

The fourth step is to set realistic deadlines.

The fifth is to start. Take massive and continuous action.
