What has to change for you to reach your goals?
What has to change for you to reach your goals? There are two kinds of goals: 1) Incremental goals where you can see the path to reaching them, and you just need to work hard and execute. 2) Transformative or 10x goals, where doing more of what you’re doing today won’t get you there. You…
