We will be starting a new series based on the setting and achieving of goals guided by the book "The 4 Disciplines of Execution". I remember a key moment when my mindset on the topic completely shifted. It was when I told my friend Nick Shelton that I wanted to help other people solve problems, achieve goals, and build things. His reply was a simple yet effective question: "What have you done?". His question forced me to take a serious look at my accomplishments and truly consider their validity. Had I really done anything yet that I could share with others? Were my accomplishments intentional? What accomplishments really fit my strengths? Which ones actually fell short of where they were supposed to end?

This is an important part of learning and is absolutely necessary if you want to continue setting and achieving progressive goals.
