It’s important to understand the difference between achievements and habits when you are goal-setting.
An achievement is a specific target, usually involving numbers and deadlines:
I will hit a sales target of X by Y date;
I will launch product/service X by Y date;
I will create X video testimonials by Y date.
A habit is a new way of living/working that you intend to embrace on a permanent basis:
I’m going to review and update my personal finances every Sunday morning;
I’m going to cut out the alcohol on school nights;
I’m going to start handing out my business referral cards to every patient.
All of us can benefit by establishing new achievement targets and habits on a quarterly basis.
