Goals!

Three of the ideas you’ll keep

The Clif summary of Goals! pulls out 7 insights. Here are the first three.

1. The single greatest reason people fail is they never decide exactly what they want; Tracy cites that only about 3% of adults have clear, written goals, and they accomplish more than everyone else combined.
2. Your dominant self-concept and 'comfort zone' silently cap your results; you must raise your self-esteem and self-image before your external achievements can rise to match them.
3. Take 100% responsibility. The phrase 'I am responsible' ends blaming, complaining, and excuse-making, and puts you back in control of your outcomes and emotions.

The other 4 — and the full 11-minute summary — are in the app.
