Goals are given WAY to much credit for creating success. A goal has never created success, only action can create success.

Goals ought not master us, instead, we must learn to master using goals as placeholders to reverse engineer to right action. Then, once actions are decided, we focus on hitting the right action each day and week.

It might seem counter-intuitive, but goals are over-hyped. Set the right actions, the right systems, and the right habits; do not set goals.

Thinking big gets you started on your success. To get to your next level, you may need to Think Smaller.

Your life is made up of the things you do every single day. By thinking small, you create the daily actions that add up to your success.

And there’s an even better benefit: you get to have a win every day! Don’t wait months or years; have a win today, by thinking small.

Most of us are chronically sleep deprived. The research is clear: almost all of us need 7-9 hours of sleep each night. Your success may be hindered by inadequate sleep.

When you are sleep deprived, your creativity, energy, and will power are diminished.

Protect your sleep by:
1. Going to bed at the same time EVERY night
2. Set up a good nighttime routine
3. Use your bed only for sleep

What changes do you intend to make to your sleep routine?

It's upside-down week, where we examine contradictory and counter-intuitive pathways to success.

In your early life and career, you create success by saying "Yes" to opportunity and demonstrating competence. As you progress, this blessing becomes a curse, as you carry a full schedule of obligations from previously fruitful opportunities.

To achieve your next level of success will require you to QUIT. Quit habits that no longer serve you, quit marketing that no longer produces results, quit networking groups that aren't producing an ROI, Quit, Quit, Quit.

It has been said that quitters never win and winners never quit. There is a deeper truth, winners quit all the time to focus more energy on the things that matter most.

What do you need to quit today?
