The number ONE key to achieving your goals.
Do you have difficulty executing your goals? In their book “The 4 Disciplines of Execution” (2012), McChesney et al address this issue. A critical point is to have just ONE Wildly Important Goal (WIG). They found that companies that try to achieve 10 goals, end up with zero. Of course that doesn’t mean that this one goal is all you do -- the rest of your life and work don’t stop -- and that’s precisely the point. It’s why having just ONE WIG is so important. Amidst the hurricane of everyday life, it gives you just one thing to create capacity for, one thing to focus that capacity on, and one thing to advance. You end up “doing more by doing less”.
