What is goal setting?
Imagining what we want to happen from start to finish, and writing down the steps along the way.

Most significant accomplishments are riddled with obstacles, struggles, and failures.

People who aim at nothing, are certain to hit it 100% of the time.

You learn from your mistakes.
