Sheepdog Tip of the Day, Before Combat tip 270
Goals require you to make plans, to work hard, and, even more importantly, to work smart. Goals will help you to organize for success. So what exactly is a goal? A goal is a statement of desired endstate. A goal describes only a thing that you can control. The key thing that a goal must be is performance-oriented. The endstate that it describes must be an element of performance that you can control; that is, the goal must be in fact "doable." The test for whether a goal is doable is to ask the following question: "Great advice, coach, but how?"
