What we've learned about goals:

- Life is a marathon, not a sprint.

- In order to achieve your goals, start big then work your way backwards to what's achievable, no matter how small, today. A 10 year plan gets broken into yearly plans, then broken down to monthly goals, broken down into day by day what you need to be doing.

- Track your goals! Use a journal or spreadsheet. Dave has an entire Excel workbook of goals for life, health, career, even video games.

- As human beings, we need to feel daily progress towards something. Tracking your goals and making progress on them will do more than just change where you are in life. It will help you feel happier about life's journey.

- Small progress, over large periods of time, add up to huge changes. Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, and be better, no matter how small the change. Over time you will see huge improvements.
