Do You Understand This Important Difference?
Today we're going to get into the important difference between HAVING GOALS and ACHIEVING GOALS.
"You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”
-James Clear, bestselling author of Atomic Habits
Goals are just wishes?
UNTIL
you have SYSTEMS in place to make sure the required ACTIONS happen.
That's it.
Having a goal of losing weight or getting stronger is just a wish -- a desire that will never happen
UNTIL
you get systems in place to make the required actions happen.
Let's say your goal is to lose 20 pounds.
Most people go after this saying things like "I just need to clean up my eating" or "I need to get back to working out."
Perhaps these are true concepts, but they are 100% USELESS because they don't tell you anything about HOW YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
What does "cleaning up your eating" mean?
Eating less?
Making better choices?
Learning healthier ways to eat out?
Navigating sabotaging sugar cravings and emotional eating?
And how about "working out more"?
What kinds of exercise do you need to do?
How hard do you push it?
How much rest and recovery time do you need?
How often is enough?

What style of workout is best for you?
In order to make progress, you've got to determine what adjustments (aka ACTIONS) will have the most impact on your particular situation.
THEN
You need to implement systems and habit-forming into your life to make those actions happen.
(That's why we do strategizing, planning, and accountability for our clients.)
Together we determine WHAT needs to happen, and HOW TO SET UP SYSTEMS TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
(Look at what Carly has done in the last few months!)
Without specific strategies and systems, we are all just dreaming.
And we all know that dreams don't change anything.
CONSISTENT ACTION changes things.
And you can't be consistent without implementing systems into your life to make those vital actions happen over and over again.
Coaching helps, no denying it.
Having an exercise and nutrition coach in your corner gives you all the components you need --
1) smart strategies,?
2) realistic action plans, and?
3) systems with accountability to make them happen.
So whether you have a coach or you're trying it on your own, without a smart, realistic plan -- AND CONSISTENT EXECUTION OF THAT PLAN - it won't happen.
Let's make things happen!
Your friend and Coach,
Dan
