Goals!: How to Get Everything You Want Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible
Turn desire into daily systems that quietly outwork talent
About This Book
This is a practical playbook for turning hopes into measurable wins. You’ll learn how to convert vague wishes into clear targets, build a daily loop that activates your brain’s goal‑seeking systems, and design time so the most valuable work gets done first. You’ll dismantle bottlenecks with constraints thinking, build rare skills to reach the top 10% of your field, and surround yourself with people who pull you forward. Expect simple tools—like writing goals daily, scorecards, and short feedback cycles—paired with deeper shifts in identity, responsibility, and courage. If you apply even half of what you learn, your days will compound into results that surprise you.About the Author
