I'm sure you’ve probably heard the phrase, "It's not how you start; it's how you finish that counts."

As the holiday season approaches, many people create resolutions and personal goals for the new year.

561: How to Love ALL People (Especially Those You Disagree With)
Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod
Last week, I shared a quote from Mark Groves on about reconciling our differences, especially in the context of voting and politics.

info_outlineDo you ever feel overwhelmed by having too many goals but not enough time to achieve them all? Been there, done that - taking on too much at once and failing to make meaningful progress in the areas of my life that matter most.
And that is the reason why I’m sharing my three-step formula for achieving your goals. This process helped me become one of the top salespeople at Cutco, 10x my coaching business, sell millions of books, and take care of my body during cancer recovery. It’s a formula I still use to this day.
I’ll also help you to identify your #1 most important goal and develop an action plan and daily routines to make it easier to achieve. Once you complete that goal, you’ll see how easy it is to apply this method to all your other goals. This way, the entire goal-achievement journey becomes less of a grind and actually becomes something you, and everyone around you, can enjoy.
