The optimal goal-setting protocol is prioritizing a single goal. Priority — the original word means only one. Set something that feels a little out of reach and focus on a 12 week interval.

So, I want to grow my business to $100,000 in revenue becomes every day for two hours I will study marketing and make 20 cold calls.
