Are you a goal setter? I am! I think a lot of us start with good intentions but then don't follow through with how we're going to reach our goals.

And then the 75 Hard Challenge entered my life, thanks to my teenage son, and the process behind setting and achieving goals was realized. It wasn't enough to just set goals, I had to change my behaviors as well. And I had to do it every day. Consistently. No cheating or taking shortcuts.

The great thing about a system is that if you are consistent, it's only a matter of time before you reach your goal.
