I can define what a goal is in just 5 words: “A dream with a deadline.”

Sadly, most entrepreneurs resist taking an hour each month write-down their goals. But my experience has taught me that a written goal has 10X the achievement possibility than a goal that just lingers in my mind.
Go to Google and you’ll find hundreds of resources on the goal-setting and goal-achievement. Here are 3 of my of my highest recommendations:
