In this episode, Alay discusses:

How goals work.
Why goals often fail.
Why goal failure is not bad.
Outcome-based versus activity-based goals.

Key Takeaways:

Set fewer goals but know why that goal is important to you and know what it will take to achieve it.
Without a plan for change, a goal is just a wish.
Look at what habits you have now. There are habits you’re doing right now that are contributing to your success, and ones that are limiting your success.
