On today’s podcast, Andy and A.T. discuss the techniques that are necessary to mastering goal setting.

Andy’s tip for goal-setting is to be honest with yourself

• If Moses had spent a little more time up on the mountain, he would have come down with an 11th Commandment: Thou shalt not kid thyself.
• Don’t set yourself up for defeat by trying to do something crazy.
• As opposed to saying, “I’m never eating brownies for the rest of my life,” try to not eat brownies for a week.
• Accomplish your goals in small chunks and you will eventually accomplish something major.

Reward yourself when you accomplish small milestones

• Don’t overdo it, but give yourself a small reward.
• It’s important to keep your morale up.

Be able to measure your goal

• The bathroom scale is a great tool.
• Find a “bathroom scale” to measure any goal you set.

Instead of always focusing on the ultimate goal, focus on the process

• Become a master of the little things you have to accomplish along the way to the ultimate goal.
• Never lose sight of what you must be doing right now.
